The State Pythian Orphanage-in
construction and yearly expenditure
for maintenance would be worth many
thousands of dollars annually to the

together and make a bid for it? With
our splendid city public schools, and

sphere, there is no place comparable
to Goldsboro, and with the proper eff

 The proposition to ask the removal of all convict labor from the State capitol work produced much discus sion; not because there was any ob- jection to the resolution by the del egates, but because one of the mem bers of the organization raised the point that he thought it was inn possible for the convicts to be re- moved now that they have been start ed on the work.

 These bank failures followed the probing of the failure of the Colum- lahoma City, and great unrest in banking circles in the new state has been natural result.
 Attorney General West was con ducting a grand jury investigation of the failure of the Oklahoma City in stitution when the governor summari- ly dismissed the inquisitorial body, and issued statement charging the prosecuting official with 'meddling.'
 With the failure of the Columbia the bank guaranty law received it's first test. This institution had grown in II months from S400,000 deposits to more than $3,000,000, and when the crash came there S2,S00,000 in claims and only 1000 to meet the demand. It was here that the new guaranty law was brought into play and not one of the depositors lost a single dollar, according to published reports issued by those in control.
 The newspapers of the city print- ed stories which indicated that prom inent citizens would be indicted, but at this jucture the governor called halt in the investigation by dls- missing the grand jury.
