In 1897 the steam railroads of the country borrow ed $493 and paid only 12 per cent interest on 4492 per cent of that money. In other words nearly half this amount was borrowed at 1-2 per cent.
 In 1907 the railroads borrowed $708,351, ,929, and owing the fact that interest rates have gone up they forced to pay per cent for forty cent of the amount or and half per cent more than 10 years previous. In 1907 money was loaned at 3 per cent and only 06 (sx one-hundredths of one per cent was borrowed at 1-2 per cent, opposed to 44.92 per cent years previous For the first six months of 1908 the railroads forced to pay per cent for 43 per cent of the money they borrowed. No money was loaned the railroads at 12 per cent in 1908.
 This is only another instance of the fact that it costs to do business than it did ten years ago. for have to pay for the money with which to make improvements. We planning to spend over $5OO000 this year on improvements If we could bor row this money at 1-2 per cent it would only cost $17,5O0 annual interest, but paying per cent it will amount of $25,000 per year, an increase of $7,50O which equals many nickels of fare It is probable that this money cannot be secured low per cent

THE EIGHTH or NOVEMBER.

g. AS was to have been expected, the
Negro Is looming up largely as a
cause contributing to the defeat of
the Republican candidates Of Kanaw-
ha county.
Never was people more falsely
accused.
The Negro, in proportion to his
numbers, stood more Loyalty by tho
Republican ticket than any other
body Of men composing the body pol
tito. AS evidence Of this fact. We
cite the two precincts Of this city In
which is congregated the majority Of
the Negro voters. In one, the Gar
nett school precinct, the Republican
ticket received a majority, which was
true Of only one other precinct OF
the city. In another, the triangle.
the once dominant party lost by
margin Of seventeen votes. Here, it
is currently reported, money and
~whiskey were used as never before
and every other effort possible was
made to debauch the voter. Yet the
black man Is not alone responsible
for the reverse. In this precinct
there are Jews and Assyrians in
numbers equal to or SURPRISING the
Negro voters. Tho Assyrians have
always voted the Democratic ticket.
The Jews were known to be hostile
to the alignment OF the Republicans
with the Prohibitionists and were ex-
pected by those cognizant of such
matters to rebuke the dry stand
of their Republican friends.
But granting that some Negroes
did vote for certain Democratic can
didates, had the whole race in this
city and county stood to a man for
the Republican ticket, the result
would have been little different. Tho
majority by which the Democrats
won was almost twice as large as
the. entire Negro vote. In view of
LIB, tue Negro, ike Macbeth, but
more truthfully. can say: Thou
canst not say | did it. Never shake
thyt cory locks at me"
Those who are inclined to cen
sure our people for the slump should
not forget that Kanawha county was
not, the only place where Republicans
gotta black eye. The disaffection
was nation wide. The party is simply
paying the penalty for the dissen-
sions within it's own ranks and the
true or false impression that it is re-
SDonsible for the high cost OF living
and other evils Of which the people
complain.

Not since the: failare. of the Freed
mans Savings and Trust Company
has there occurred a greater disaster
in Negro financial affairs than the
downfall of the True Reformers
bank at Richmond and Of similar
institution conducted by the Fisher
men at Newport News, both In the
State Of Virginia.
Each, because Of its connection
with fraternal organizations. held a
unique position among banking in
stitutions. Each was in position to,
and did. number among it's depositors
hundreds who placed their money
therein solely because Of the conf
dence they had in the respective fra
ternities controlling them Many OF
them are inherently distrustful of
Negro banks conducted along the old
established lines, ana it was, even
with many a doubtful shake of the
head that they passed their money
over to the repositories Of their be-
loved and much trusted orders.
The failure of these will do much
toward weakening if it does not
wholly destroy all confidence among
them. The danger is lest they do
not carefully weigh the causes lead
ms to the failures and place oil Ne
gro banks which now exist or which !
may hereafter be established in the |
doubtful column.
One does not have to go far to !
find the reasons for the failure of |
the Reformer bank. Those in con-
troll of it's affairs were too anxious /,
to get rich quick and the members OF !
the order unconsciously contributed |
TO the downfall by failure to read the
glaring signs. n man must have
been blind indeed not to have seen
that the style Of living affected by /
some Of the bank officials, the pala-
tial residences which they had erect
ed for themselves were far above the
station Of men receiving their sala-
rles, even though these salaries we're
higher than was reasonable MANY
indications pointed to woeful igno-
rance, II not criminal negligence, on
the part Of the banks officials, but
those who sounded the alarm were
branded rs false prophets and their
warnings went unheeded.
Now is the deluge. But the Re-
formers need not give up all hope.
With master mind to guide a loyal
following there is yet bright fu-
ture for the order and for the bank.
II either is 60 be rehabilitated, it
must be separated from the other

The insurance department must de-
mand and receive Of the insured
premiums based upon the mortality
tables Of tratornal societies and not
upon such two-for-one plans as have
heretofore guided all Negro frater-
mites. The bank must about and
stick to those rules which have made
other banks the impregnab lie finan-
;ial concerns they are. If the True
Rcformers, as is true Of the Fisher
men, wipe the slate clean and be-
gin once more in the light way, all
Will be well. If not, let them el-
