BESSEMER BANK SAFE
ERRONEOUS REPORT GIVEN OUT IN
 WASHINGTON.
President smith Was At Capital To Secure Charter For An In- shtutfon Ut Wylam--
 Correction of Error.

Washington, D. C.. Jan, s-(Special) With reference to the publication Thursday in The Advertiser. in regard to the object of a visit of MT. R F. smith of Birmingham and Bessemer to Washington. 1t was enormously stat ed. through information given by sena- tor Johnston's secretary that some at tempt had been made by a bank examin- CT to induce the department to take action against the Bessemer National Bank, and that Senator Johnston had taken the matter up with the Treasury Department officials and convinced them that the bank was absolutely re- liable and unquestionabie. and that Dr. smith was man of the highest character and integrity.
 The real facts in the case were that MT. R r. Smith came to Washington for the purpose of getting Senator Johnston to see the Treasury Depart ment officials in regard to permitting him to open a bank at Wylam, which permit the Department was temporari- ly withholding. until it could make some investigation as to the persons applying for a charter.
 Senator Johnston visited the Treas ury Department and informed the proper officials that he knew Mir. Smith and the petitioners who pro- posed to establish this bank and that they were absolutely reliable, finan- cially and every other way.
 Alfred J. stofer.
 The publication alluded to by the Washington correspondent of The Advertiser was as follows including the headline:
 Bessemer Bank is snfe.
 "R. F. Smith, President of the Besse- mer National Bank. was here today.
 Tt seems that a bank inspector some days ago sent in report alleging tha; his institution was In shaky condi- tion and ought to be shut up by the Comptroller of the Currency. The bank has an authorized capital of $100.000. with $15.00o surplus.
 Senator Johnston today saw the Comptroller and after the statement of Mir. Smith was laid before that of- ficial, the examiner was instructed by wire to withdraw his recommendation the Comptroller being satisfied of the solvency of the bank"
 As soon as The Advertiser was ad. vised of the error made by its Wash cashier of the Bessemer National Bank and later its President. the use of iti columns to make any statement they saw fit The offer was declined.
 At the first opportunity The Adver' tiser communicated with its Washing. ton correspondent, whose correction appears herewith. The Advertiser re. grets very much that It's Washington correspondent made the error. but h' was misinformed in reference to tht matter.

 Shops--News of Flor ida Seaport.

Pensacola. Fla, Jan. S.--(Special.)- fhe meat markets of the city will be closed Sunday tighter than they have ever been before if the butchers carry out the determination which they ar rived at last night, when a meeting of all butchers of the city was held and 1t was unanimously agreed that hence forth no meats or any articles car- ried in the cir places of business will be sold.
 This sudden determination upon the part of the butchers is due to the fact that the sheriff has announced that he has decided to enforce the laws dur ing the four years of his second term. and the blue laws, some of which were passed half a century ago, will be ap- piled to the city.
 The meat market men invited the sheriff to their meeting and the lat ter informed them that if they kept their places open or served their cus- toners with goods Sunday they would be arrested
 The meeting adjourned immediate ly, for each and every man decided that ne did not desire to have, the law tested. if he was to be the one to be offered up for sacrifice.
 From all indicationss the sheriff in- tends carrying out his threat to stop everything in the city which has the least semblance of business. He has decided, and with out urging, to enforce every law that there is in existence. and as far as known, no one has en- leavored to dissuade him from pur- suing such a policy.
