WARNING TO BANKS
 ON OVERLOOKING

Washington, October 24-(Special )-The comptroller of the currency is said to be contemplating a warning to national banks against overloaning. There is a belief that many of them are exceeding the loans authorized by law. The con troller has the power to revoke the char ter of q bank taking this course, but 1t has never been exercised and warn ing will probably be sufficient to prevent further abuse. The law provides that no national bank shall loan to a single person or corporation an amount exceed ing 10 per cent of it's capital and 10 per cent of its unimpaired surplus. In no event shall the total loaned exceed 30 per cent of the capital. This is more lib- eral provision than the law contained until recently.
 The number of banks which have al- lowed over-loans has decreased since the law was liberaized but it is still far from being wiped out. It is supposed the course which MT. Murray will take will be to write certain banks which are known to be violating the law and in- vite their attention to the situation with a view to remedying it. Sufficient time will be given to allow the offending banks which have been singled out to get with in the law.
 National bank examiners will scrutinize them carefully and if they do not in a reasonable time cease over-loaning, re- vocation of their charters will follow. Pre- sumably such drastic action will not be needful. and it may be expected that when a few banks have been brought up with q quick turn there will be scramble on the part of all over-loaned institutions to get on the safe side of the law

loon in the state; that the people drove them out and are the guardians of the material welfare of Alabama. Not the self-seeking politicians, one of whom has acquired the ignoble reputation of att tempting to array the sons against the fathers, telling them their fathers were wrong, but being staid conservative. aVerse to changes, he could not hope to deceive them, etc., etc, that his reliance was upon the sons. the young guard as he styled them, together with the women 10 carry his besmirched banner to victory. Shame on the man who would so prosti- tute himself for the sake of office be- heve a majority of the mothers of the Confederacy, together with their noble daughters, will refuse to lend their aid Tor such purpose. My friend, E. O. Me- Cord. assumes the office of advisor to us old ignoramuses, and tells us how we should vote. Comrades of the Stars and Bars, he deplores the fact that we are incapable of judging what is best for us. and modestly intimates that we should take our cue from those like himself and march up to the polls and cast our bal- lo.s In obedience to their behest, but I pelieve great majority of them are go- ing 10 vote as they shot, for the preser- vation or home and individual liberty. He onits to tell us that his father from whom ne drew his early inspirations of morality, virtue and love for the causa or the southland, is opposed to the amendment sought to be put in the con stitutfon, and he bids Godspeed to the enorts or his younger son, Leon McCord
 In conclusion I desire to say to my vet eran comrades that the battle of ballots is on' mat we from our swift thinning rdnhs Will have to take our place as a ioriorn nope, and by the flag that was nm heio rom first Manassas to RentonvilIe though few in numbers, we are still inc same unterrffied survivors that followed Lee and Johnston, or rode with Forras+ and Wheeler. and that from 75 to so per cent Of Marshall county veterans are iined up in opposition to the amendment
 The campaign in this county was onened by the amenders with a great flourish If trumpets, and wonderful bedecking or white ribbon, but 1t bids fair to prove or rather ephemsral existence and ere the sun gilds the tops of Sand, BrindIev and Gunters mountains on the ides of Nover,- Der, their speakers will be reiteratins caesars cry of Help, Cassius. or I snlsi,; Respectfully, M.

". E. BASKIN QUITS THE SCHOOL BOARD

Meridian, Miss, October 24-(special.)- Hon. w. B. Baskin, for many years pres ident of the board of public school trus- tees in this city, has rendered his resigna- ton, and pr. H. s. Gully has been elected his successor by the trustees. The city boards will fill the vacancy on the board at the next meeting. MT. Baskin's resig- nation is due to peculiar law in this city With regard to school trustees which Is that any citizen is ineligible to mem- bership on the board who has no children attending the schools. Mir. Baskin's chill dren have each graduated from the pub lie schools, and according to his inter- pretation he is no longer a patron in the full meaning of the law, and insisted upon the acceptance of his resignation, which was done with regret.

Where the Veterans Stand.

TO the Editor of The e-Herald:
 My attention has been called to letter of Hon. E. o. McCord of Albertvlle in the Birmingham News of the 18th inst, addressed to the heroes Of the lost cause in Alabama, in which he attempts to line them up to vote for the pending amend ment to the constitution. Now, as one of that number. a survivor of the Pettus brigade 1 wish to say that no one de- plores the issue that has been thrust upon us by reckless legislature more than myself I cannot see any good that can possibly come to the people of Alabama through the exciting canvass which is now being waged, but on the other hand will prove @ very Pandora's box, and is fraught with untold evils in arraying neighbor against neighbor, in severing family ties and causing heart-burnings that may never be erased. I see in it a repetition of the unfortunate Kolb-Jones wrangle of '92-94. I had hoped l would not be called upon to participate in an- other such turmoil, the wounds and bit terness of which are yet unhealed. And for what? That a few politicians with heads of brass and feet of clay'' may rise to the surface as lightweight material always does in great commotions and ride into office by raising a false issue of whisky or no whisky. They know that the saloon Is gone from Alabama: 1t has been driven step by step and county by county, until the state has been redeemed, and so far as my Knowledge extends there has never been an effort to vote 1t back in any county in the state. and yet they seek to impose upon us and say that un- less the amendment Is carried the state will be flooded with whisky from high Jackson to the alligator pools of Baldwin. But I answer that the failure of the amendment to carry will not open sa-

To the sug- gestion that grape juice" may be sub stituted for wine in the sacrament, I reply that you can with as much scrip tural reason and accuracy, and with more common sense, substitute butter milk. And thus 1t Is that part of the Holy Sacrament of the Lords Sup per is to be abolished by legislation in order that fanaticism may be permitted to do it's perfect work.

Letter From York

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 o Neal can find men in York, Ala. who have been dealing in whisky among the most strenuous amendment workers, men who made their start in financial standing by selling whisky, with proof sufficient to claim the money offered by Judge Weakley There are many prohibftionists here though. who will vote against the amendment, believing that there are pro- hibatory laws sufficient for the state.

Situation In Fayette.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald; I have just returned from thorough canvass of Fayette county. The indi- cations are that the constitution oe- lenders have a good majority in practical lv every precinct and seem to be gaining ground every day.
 The farmers, who, by the way, com prise the majority of the county's popu- ia ation, are against the amendment almost to a man. They have their minds made up and 1t will take something more than an empty promise made by political parson" to change them. All indications point to landslide against the amend ment on November 29.
