Trust Company Bulletin

The second number of the Trust
Company News appeared this week.
An invitation is issued to the public to
make the banking Offices headquarters,
a room having been set aside for the
use OF the public-not mercy deposi-
tors-where business consultation
may be held, or letter written in a
pleasant room with absolute privacy.
The annual statement appears, show
ing the healthy. conservative growth
of business.
The bulk of the Bulletin is taken up
by serious discussion on Trust Com
pal1ies VS. National Banks. 1t gives a
short history of each and then enters
into the discussion OF the advantages
OF the Trust Company There is much
information that is not generally
known. The Trust Company is a re-
cent American institution, and its
popularity among the general public
as well as the leading financiers of the
country is increasing.
The question most asked by the
man of small deposits IS regarding the
comparative safety Of Trust compsn-
les over the older institution. the Ma
tional bank.
In the article mentioned appears a
sub-heading which says:
TRUST COMPANIES NEVER
FAIL.
when directors direct and conduct the
banking business IN compliance with
the Banking Law Requirements. Trust
Companies failures have been few and
far between, and when they have oc-
Cured. they can be traced to disre-
gard OF sound banking principles
Even in the case OF companies that
have failed. We do not know OF any
record Of an impairment OF trust funds
whatever loss there was having been
borne by the stockholders. Trust as
sets of Trust Company are kept en-
tirely separate from the assets be'ong-
ing to the Company, and is one of the
strongest arguments for the employ
ment of Trust Companies in trust ca
pacities.
A Trust Company must be coIlserva-
tive The directors and stockholders
have their own monev at stak,, and
are looking for only reasonable re
turns on their money and not for ex-
horbitant profits. It must conform to
certain rules and regulations as laid
down by the Banking Laws of the
State in which it is incorporated. In
case of an infringement of the law, if
it be found that the business is being
conducted N an unsafe manner, it is

Heard His Last Sermon.

William NJ. T. Forester, one of
the best known colored men in the
United States and a respected citizen
in this community sat in the Sharon
Baptist Church last Wednesday aft
ernoon from about 3 O'Clock until
4:S0 listening to the sermon of Rev.
A. s. Thomas, ID. ID. over the re-
mains Of Lee T. Hudson. Rev.
Thomas was very emphatic at the
close Of his remarks relative TO the
necessity of every one being ready
TO die and of the necessity of max
ing wills and signing insurance pa
pers.
Mr.. Forester sat near the door
on the left hand side OF the church
In apparent good health. He always
had a pleasant word for every one
That same evening before $3.50
O'Clock, he had walked up TO HIS res
idence and had taken a seat on his
porch as usual, when he was taken
with sudden attack OF shortness of
breath. Before medical attention
could be secured, he had passed

4 Strange Report.

News travelled like wild-fire that
Alexander Mccoy had dropped dead
on Brooke Avenue and Leigh Streets.
Rev. DR.. W. r. Graham was on his
way TO the train when he heard the
rumor and he Immediately gave up
his trip, for Mr. Mccoy was leader of
his choir and he decided TO do all in
his power 10 do honor TO the man
who had served the church so well.
Prof. b. II. Peyton had heard it,
but was cautious about giving out the
information until the report was con-
firmed, but a call on the telephone
confirmed the rumor and well-nigh
everybody was expressing sympathy
over the untimely demise OF the we'll
known and popular choir leader. Then
came most surprising information.
One man said he had spoken to Mr..
Mccoy on Leigh Street a few mo-
ments before, and he did not look
like a dead man.
Then IL was announced that a man
named Mccoy had been taken seri-
ously i'll on Brook Avenue and Leigh
Streets and that he had been carried
TO the hospital, but even he was not
dead. All orders for flowers for the
choir leader were cancelled, while
some one quoted Brother Mccoy as
saying that he did not see why any
one should want to think him dead
as he attended to his own business
and he did not trouble any one. Choir
leader Alexander Mccoy is teaching
music as before and he has no notion
of dying If he can help Il.

RACE IRE IN PULPITS
English 8. :. Delegates Denounce Pa
rade Exclusion.

With scathing denunciation for
the "narrow-minded whites" of
Washington, a group OF English lay
men--all delegates TO the worlds
Sunday School convention-aroused
a negro congregation in the Shiloh
Baptist Church TO the verge Of hys-
terra last night, telling them they
were treated in n manner TO cause
every Christian in the world to hang
his head with shame.
The speakers declared the act OF
the local committee in excluding their
colored brethren from the parade
was worse than un-Christian; that in
England there was no race prejudice
or race hatred, and that white and
black alike were treated as equals
before the law and the Lord.
The addresses were all made by
while men, with two exceptions, and
in addition TO the English speakers,
two American delegates-W. y.
HartshOrn. OF Boston. and Louis
Stroller. OF Plymouth Church, Brook

the convention. and emphasized the
difference between the treatment the
negro receives in the North and in
the South.
ZULU DELEGATE OFFENDED.
The climax was reached when a
Zulu delegate. the Rev. John ID. Dube
told the congregation he had broken
bread with his British friends in
London and New York restaurants,

fusal 90 be served ia Washington. He

SPECIAL MEETING
CITY OFFICIALS
THE QUESTION OF THE SUITS
AGAINST THE MUNICIPALITY
DISCUSSED
From Thursdays Daily

The members of the city council and
the board of education held an infor-
NAL meeting last night TO discuss the
suits brought against the city by the
Stewart Lumber company and the
Wilbur Lumber company, for material
used in the new high school building
by Contractor Smith. The building
was not completed in the time agreed
upon and the board of education
claims that certain sums have been
paid, which the contrac tor wants paid
again. In all, the contractor Claims
that about $4,000 is still due him and
the board of education looks at it 9TH
erwise.
. Some time ago the lumber compa-
nies were paid about 80 per cent of
their claims. The Wilbur Lumber
company has accounts amounting to
about 81, 500 and the Stewart Lumber
company about $780, The two con-
Germs are bringing action to collect this
amount.
At the joint meeting last night the
matter was explained by the board of
education to the members of the city
council. All of the contracts were
signed and the work on the building
was done under the direction of the
board of education. A concerted plan
of defense was agreed upon when the
case comes to trial at the March term
of the circuit court.

MADISON DIVISION
IS COHGESTED
NO ROOT FOR r1ORE CARS ON THE
SIDE TRACKS OR IN THE
YARDS.

The car question on the Madison di-
vision of the Chicago & Northwestern
is serious one. Every side track be-
tween Elroy and GAINESVILLE has cars
of freight that the company has not
been able to move, The cars are filled
with lum Der and other products that
do not require.immediate delivery Some
time ago the company built a yard at
J anesville that would hold 1000 cars
and this is full to the limit. Where
all the cars come from is mystery to
the company. Often during this cold
weather trains are found too large and
some of the cars are set to one side.
There they are and it will take weeks
to get the tracks clear.
