THE GUARANTY PLAN PROVING
UP.

On February 10, 1908, just before Ok
lahoma's bank deposits guaranty law
became effective, there were individual
deposits of S18,032,284.91 in the state
banks.
On June %, 1909, sixteen months
later, the individual deposits in state
banks were $32,29S,247.07, q gain Of
ga ,69O,642e2.
While there has been this remarkable
increase in individual deposits in the
state banks, there has been falling of
of deposits in the national banks; first,
because great many national banks
surrendered their charters to become
state banks; second, because state funds
were withdrawn from deposit in nation
al banks; and third, because deposits in
national banks are not guaranteed.
The attempts Of critics of the guar
anty plan to create the impression that
the banks of Oklahoma have not gained
from the adoption OF the law fails in
the light Of the fact that the average
increase in deposits per bank for the
sixteen months period is S272,220.S2.
Obviously law which increases the
average OF deposits by more than !,
quarter Of million dollars in so brief
a period is doing something for the
bankers. Nor is it to be wondered at
that the state bankers of other states
fear that adoption of this plan
would work harm to their business.
No doubt considerable portion OF
the increased deposits represent the
money of non-residents who sent it to
the state banks of Oklahoma because
insured against loss of it, whereas il
they put it in the banks at home they
would not be assured Of it's safety.
Between a home insurance company
which might or might not pay his fire
loss, and nonresident insurance CON
pany which guaranteed the payment d
his loss, the assured would not be long
in making choice. He would follow the
line OF security.
1t is also doubtless true that muct
of the money on deposit now in the
banks of Oklahoma never was in banI
before and was kept in hiding by it,
repayment. Similarity, hard headed me,
and women who would not put thei
money in banks without guarantee tina
it will be returned to them have nc
hesitancy in depositing it when thi.
guaranty is furnished. AS a result o
the guaranty plan the banks Of Okla
position to earn more profits, than evel
before.
While on the subject of banking it il
we'll to recall that the republican
national platform proposed the posta
savings bank as an alternative to tn,
guaranteed bank. As yet the republi
can majority has made no move towar:
the redemption Of it's platform promise
and in his Washington correspondents,
John Snure declares that Cannon's op
position to the postal savings banl
insures it's defeat in the house at tn,
next session, il it should be reporte.
in the form of bill from committee.
The republican party's assaults OF
the guaranty plan were not made il
good faith. Nor was the promise o
postal savings banks made in goos
faith. The party feared that il it kep
silent on the subject Of bank sesurit,
that it would lose votes. So it spok
out, got the votes, and then repudiate,
it's promise.--Dubuque Telegraph.

Laxative for

There is great difference in. the

are usually violent purgatives or
cathartics, and altogether too power
full for the average person.
A woman at all times needs only

they may be, for the object is simply to
move the bowels, and If a gentle laxative
will do it, what is the use Of violent
one?

We have those among us always,
OF course, who hold that "prohibi-
ton" means the curtailing of indi-
vidual liberty and the trampling of
individual rights underfoot. 1t is
well that all such "individual lib

to injure self and others should be
curtailed; it is well that all "indi-

for one person to inflict poverty,
degradation and shame upon those

When the whiskey element and
their sympathiZers can produce facts
to show that alcoholic liquors are n

be prepared to stand with them and

saying it is every mans right to
damn his own life and those de-
pendent upon him if he choose to do
so by drinking alcoholic liquors.
Until we have something tangible on
which to base belief that alcoholic
liquors are beneficial we will stand
to the belief that it Is not only the
right, but the duty as well, of the
strong citizen to take from his
weaker brother the temptation as

BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS.
Rabun Man, Pursued by Sherif's
Posse, Kills Himself.

Clayton, Ga, Aug. 3O.-With a
posse in close pursuit and tired of
the relentless chase of officers of the
law, Jeff Bradley, who killed George
Welborn, Jr., near this place last
Monday night, shot himself to death
near Mountain City Friday after
noon. The suicide occurred when
the officers were almost within hail
ing distance of the alleged fugitive.
The officers, hearing the shot, be-
lieved that they were about to be am
bushed and dropped to cover. They
waited for other shots, and then eau
tiously ventured out and followed the
direction of the shot.
In an old field face downward
with his gun lying by his side, Brad
ley was found, with his brains blown
out.
Some time Friday Robert Nix, liv-
ing in the vicinity, went to straw
stack where Bradley was concealed.
Thinking that Nix was hunting for
him, although armed with a shotgun,
Bradley offered to surrender. Nix
told him that he was not hunting for
him. Subsequently Nix reported see
ing him to Sheriff J. II. Jones, who
formed posse of men, and started
in pursuit. Bradley was 27 years Of
age and unmarried

HAS PERPETUAL MOTION
Former Citizen of Alabama Now Has
;hc Thing to Run Forever.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 31.-II G..
Busby, formerly of Birmingham, Al
ALBANIA, but who has recently made
his home in Cincinnati, has just been
allowed patent in Washington on
device which he claims will revo-
lutiOnize the worlds industry. If
Busby is able to substantiate his
claims, and he has a sheaf of testi-
mony and commendatory opinions
from mechanical engineers, he has
discovered the long-sought principle
Of perpetual motion. The latter Is.
however, a term which he eschews,
because he says so many ridiculous
schemes have been promulgated un-
der 1t.
Busby's invention is system of
compressed air applied as power to
machinery. He claims that his de-
vice Will compress air and derive it's
own power from the compression
from the air itself. 1t is a system of
valves and vacuum through and into
which the air is driven and expelled
He asserts that no other form of
power Is needed and that the future,
through his invention, will have no
need of coal. oil, wood nor other
form Of fuel. The compressed air
device may be attached to any ordi-
nary engine, the fires drawn and
the steam cut off. and the air will
run the engine. is his claim Busby
claims that he has succeeded with
compressed air, where Nicola Tesla
failed with liquid air.

working on this very thing for years
and by lucky chance | have found
it, he said. There is no other in
vention like !; and none in history
which has its far-reaching possibili-

Albany, Ga, Aug. 27.-During an
initiation in the Elks' Lodge here
Wednesday night, Cleve Cox, a
prominent young Elk, who was he'll
ing conduct the initiation, was shot
through the feshy part of the leg
with a .32-calibre ball, from cart
ridge that was thought to be blank.
The floor of the lodge room shows
the marks Of several bullets fired
during the initiation.
An investigation after the accident
revealed the fact that in some unac-
countable manner some cartridges
OF the kind used in shooting CALLER
les had become mixed with the blank
cartridges used in limitations.
Three doctors were hurriedly sum-
moned to the lodge rooms to attend
the injury to Cox. The shooting gal
lery cartridges responsible for tho
accident looked so much like blank
cartridges that the difference could
scarcely be distinguished.
The accident caused much excite.
ment in the lodge room and put an
end to the initiation exercises.

THE PROHIBITION WAVE

Gradually all over the South-yet
by no means confined exclusively To
the South-thc prohibition wave is
sweeping the saloon. the tiger and
the distillery before it. In the re-
cent "diSpensary or no dispensary"
elections in this State all but -, of
the counties in which whiskcy was
sold through the dspensary system
voted out the dispcnsary, or. in other
words, went "dry." That leaves
south Carolina to-day practically n
"dry' State, following close in the
wake OF Georgia and Tennessee.
1t is we'll that it is so. South
Carolina was once dcbauched and
deDased by the open bar; she has
suffered at the hands OF the Great
Moral Institutions" the State dispen-
sary, long enough, and she is emerg-
ing now from the effects Of the latter
system, her fair name besmirched
and bcgrimed with the filth and mire
or fraud, rascality and stealing in
high places.
The prohibitioniSts will scarcely be
content to rest with six counties still
in the wet" column. They. too. in
time, will join the balance OF the
state when finally the inevitable
comes to pass and the LEGISLATURE
enacts a Statewide prohibition law
which is sure to follow as n result
OF the recent elections.
In the meantime, however. there is
work TO do, and every prohibitioniat
has duty to perform, and that is
TO see that the present laws are en-
forced. AS an inspiration to those
who feel the weight of duty in this
respect we reproduce here a few elo-
quent words uttered at a temperance
gathering a number Of years ago by
the late Henry w. Grady, whom the
whole State OF Georgia almost wor-
shipped, and whom the whole South
knew and loved. Speaking OF the
evil effects and evil influences of IL
quor, he said:
keep It an exile and an outcast.
Don't trust It. It IS both insidious
and powerful. Tonight 1t enters an
humble home to strike the roses from
a woman's cheek, and tomorrow 1t
