REJECTS vERMIFUGE
Noted Methodist Divine Protests
Against Singing Out the South.

Atlanta, Nov. bishop Warren A.
Gambler, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, expressed the hope that
the people of this section will not be
taken in by the Rockefeller 81, 900, 900
"vermifuge and hookworm commits
SION" Commenting on the pledging of
that amount by the Standard Oil head,
in a letter to the Atlanta Journal, the
churchman to-day says:
1T is to be hoped hat our people will
not be taken in by Mr.. RockefelIer's
vermifuge fund and hookworm com
mission. This habit of singing out the
South for all sorts of reform, remedies
and enlightenments is not for our bene-
fit, and the too-ready acceptance of these
things on the part of some of our people
is not to our credit. Mr.. Rockefeller
would take charge of both our heads
and our stomachs, and purge our brains
of ignorance and our bowels of worms"
After quoting an editorial from the
New Orleans Picayune which condemned
the creation of sectional prejudice by
such proposed reforms, the Bishop CON
tinues:
The editorial of the Picayune shows
both sense and self respect. 1t is time
the Southern people had begun resenting
this otficious disposition to take care of
them which certain parties are addicted
to. Donations may easily, as dumdum
bullets, wound where they hit and leave
a mortal poison in the hole they make
after being received. We are certainly
able to get ourselves clear of worms with
out Mr.. Rockfeller's million dollar dose
of Yermifuge.

1t is apparent that Gov. Aran J..

was accepted unanimously by the stock
holders of the Union City Bank & Trust
Co. The terms and details of the con-
solidation were at once settled upon and

In pursuance of this agreement the
stockholders of the First National Rank
will at ice proceed according to the
provisions Of the law relating to nation
al banks to 60 into reorganization and
consolidation, with capital stock and
other details as announced by the two
banks in another column.
Accordingly the Union City Bank &
Trust Company Tuesday evening moved
its business to the First National Bank

banks will hereafter be conducted and
the officers of both banks will be found.

the consolidated banks as assistant cash
Ter, the officers, bookkeepers and clerks

of the force being necessary in the con-
solidation.
This consolidation makes a strong
bank, perhaps as strong as any in West

practically consolidates the deposits and
the loans Of the two banks and gives
them also a very large clientele and
prestige. 1t is stated that the stock
holders of the two banks are altogether
worth a million dollars or more person.

Bank Consolidation.

Owing to the growing demand for stronger institutions
of public deposits, the Management Of the Union City Bank
& Trust Company and the First National Bank have de-
cided to iquidate both banks as soon as practical, and in
response to this demand organize a National Bank with
$75OOO0O capital stock and a paid surplus Of 100000.
We desire at this time to express our most sincere apprecia-
ton OF the patronage received in the past by both institutions,
and to add in this connection that the new bank will be a home
inshtution-organize and operated by home people. 1t will
offer the largest measure of security to depostors of any bank
in this part of the state. We pledge our most earnest efforts
to the end that from the officers of this bank the public shall
always receive the most courteous attention; that its policy
shall be the most liberal consistent with sound banking. Stand
ing upon these principles, we ask you to help us make this an
institution in keeping with the progress Of this the richest and
grandest county in the state.
The business of both banks will be conducted in the future
at the First National Bank.
Again thanking you for past support, and bespeaking for
ourselves a liberal share of your future patronage, we are

A HERO STORY.
BY EDWIN \. NYE.
Copyright. 1909. by American. Press
Assotia1scn.

You cannot match this story from
any other age In the worlds history.
because
Well, read the story:
Last summer John Schwendinger OF
Dubuque, Ia, a big, strong, native
Austrian, went on a picnic with other
employees of the firm for which he
worked. Bathing and swimming in
the river were part of the days sport.
Schwendinger was on the bank In
the act Of dressing when a cry attract
ed his attention. A young man named
Traut, who was a poor swimmer, had
become exhausted and was drowning.
Going to Traut's rescue, Schwen-
dinger was handicapped by the latter
grasping his would be rescuer about
the neck.
Instead Of breaking Traut's hold and
saving himself the brave Austrian per-
sisted in his efforts to save the drown
ing man. The two were carried out
in the current beyond the reach of
aid and went down.
When the bodies were found Traut's
arm was still locked about the Aus
TRANS neck.
Heroic? Yes, you say, but such
things often happen.
But wait. The best of the tale is to
come.
Schwendinger was a married man,
and there are wife and seven children
in this story besides the hero. And
six of the children are under sixteen
years of age.
The big hero who died for his fellow
was sober and industrious. without q
relative in this country.
Can you imagine the awful bereave
ment of this family when the body OF
the poor husband and father was
brought home?
Can you fancy the future that front
ed the stricken wife? Besides the
burden Of his big family, Schwendingel
was buying home.
Then the people Of Dubuque did this
beautiful thing:
They made a subscription amount
ing to $1,000 to pay off the mortgage
on the home and to enable the widow
to live for a time.
Then came the Carnegie hero fund
The trustees OF that fund sent spe
cial representative to Dubuque las
month to investigate.
And now the widow of the hero is t.
receive $50 per Ronth during her life
and the six children IS per month.
Was I wrong in saying you could
not match this story in the annals Of
any other age? Because
Never before was there a hero fund
to draw upon. Let the paragrapher.

This Weeks News Forecast

Washington, d. c., March 27.-The
ensuing seven days held forth the
promise of a considerable number of
interesting and important news events
both at home and abroad.
The wrestling of Congress with the
Payne tariff bill will continue to oc-
cupy first place in the attention of the
public at home. Other interesting bits
of news that may be expected to ema-
nate from the seat of national gov
ernment during the week will relate
to important diplomatic and other ap-
pointments.
President Taft has promised to be
one of the guests at the annual dinner
of the Harvard Club at the Raleigh
Hotel, Tuesday night. Other guests
will be the retiring president Of Har-
ward, DR.. Charles w. Eliot and Sena-
tor Root, DR.. Edward Everett Hale
and others prominent in public life.
Before the end of the week the
steamship Hamburg, with Colonel
Roosevelt and party abroad, will touch
at Gibraltar, and on Sunday the ship
is due to reach Naples, where the
Roosevelt expedition will transfer to
the steamer Admiral, leaving the next
day for the east coast of Africa.
Events of special interest in the in
dustrial world will be more or less
numerous to judge from the present
outlook. The situation with regard to
the threatened strike of the coal min
ers will be awatched with interest. A

alton.

The event is of more than ordinary
importance as marking the complet-
ion of another transcontinental rail
road line.
The convict lease system. which has
come in for much severe critism of
late years because of the graft and
cruelties it was alleged to have fost-
cred, will come to an end in Georgia

system will come into force. Under
the new system the convicts are to

August F. Bruske, president of Alma
college, was born in Rachen, Prussia,
March 27 1S47, and came to America as
an emigrant boy. After two winters in
a district school In Michigan he con-
ceived the idea of higher education.
Being without funds to enter college
he Joined the army, receiving the $500
bounty then paid to volunteers. When
the war ended he used this money to
gain an education. During his five
years in college he lived almost wholly
on a simple diet of bread and butter,
with a baked potato once a week as
his only luxury. In 1859 he finished
his course at Adrian college and then
followed two years In a theological
seminary. From 1872 to 1891 he oc-
cupied pulpits in Charlotte and Sagt-
nav, Mich, and since the latter year
he has been president Of Alma college
at Alma, Mich.
