A YEAR OF PROSPERITY.
Solo Growth For American
Banks.

Washington Dispatch, 18th,
Another year Of prosperity and
solid growth for American banks
is recorded in the annual report
of the comptroller Of the cur
rency, presented to Congress to-
day. Not only the national
banks, which come directly under
the control and supervision of
the currency bureau, are included
in the comprehensive review of
banking conditions. but State
banks, savings banks, trust COM
panies and other financial insti-
tutions-some Is, $50 others are
represented.
During the fiscal year of 1910
the combined resources of the
1000 national banks of the Unit
ed States grew to approximately
$40, 900, 600, 900. On September
l last their loans and discounts
had reached the immense sum of
S., 400, 000,0O0-an amount never
before equalled in the history of
national banking system since it's
creation in 1864. At the same
time they were counting nearly
$50, 900, 600 of overdrafts in their
assets, practice which there is
no law to stop.
! Combining all other banks i'll the
United States and it's island DOS
sessions with those Of the national
system and allowing an estimate
Tor those not reported, it is evi-
dent from the comptroller's re-
port that the bank power of the
nation has grown in the last ten
years from Ii, 977 of al sorts Of
banks, with capital of $1,15O, =
600, GOO and Individual deposits
OF ST, 68S, 600, 900, to more thai.
q, 900 banks with combined CAPT.
tai close TO S2,000,O 900, 900 and IN
dlvldual deposits Of nearly SIS
900, 100000. The deposits have
more than doubled in little more
than a decade, and in the same
time the combined loans and dis
counts have grown to more than
S12, 900, 900, 900.

To Pass Upon Plans and Speci-
fications for Drainage of Mat
tamuskeet Lake.

Raleigh Special, 18th, to Charlotte Observer
The State Board of Education
and President Willard of the
Roper Lumber Company have
reached an agreement whereby
j. Frank Coleman, a prominent
drainage engineer Of New Or
leans, is to examine and pass
upon the plans and specifica lions
as prepared by Engineer j. O.
Wright for the drainage of Mat
tamuskeet lake, Hyde county.
Coleman will be here Thursday
to begin this work. State officers
believe the undertaking is now
In a fair way to being carried
out. December l the States
three-fourths interest in the
drainage district was to have
been sold to Northern capitalists
who were here with certified
checks for the purchase and
guarantee to assume the States
obligation under the drainage
enterprise when the exception
on the part of the Roper Com
pany came, effectively breaking
off the sale for the time. The
Roper Company insists that the
undertaking is not practicable
and now comes the agreement to
leave the matter to Engineer
Coleman.

A Long Story Of Frauds.

Washington Dispatch. 18th
The annual report of Attorney
General Wickersham presented
to Congress today, is one long
story of frauds against the gov
eminent.
Trusts, so-called and real, their
alleged conspiracles to defeat the
law; land frauds, custom frauds,
frauds on the internal revenue,
rebates, bucket shops and fraud
ulent uses Of the mails have
made 1910 the most strenuous
year in the history Of the De-
partment of Justice. Mr.. Wick
ersham states that only the earn.
est and enthusiastic work of the
men of his force has made the
work successful.

With quaking heart I'd hide away,
As frightened as could be.

Old Santa Claus, the good old Saint,
Was surely very poor,
For when we took our stockings down
We found scanty store.
Sometimes an apple, round and red,
Some pinders, just few,
A ball made up of homespun thread,
And a little candy too.
But those were happy. care-free days,
On the old plantation spent.
Our youthful lives were crowned with
health,
"And peace and sweet content"
There was less of vanity, pomp and
pride,
There were hearts so warm and true,
And often sigh for the good old days,
And the grand old folks / knew.
And now in closing | wish to send
Glad greetings for Christmas cheer
May you and your readers one and all,
Spend useful and happy New Year
! Aunt Becky"

OLD TIME MEMORIES.
Written for The Robesonian.

written TOT Inc fSOu&SohsH
IT'S wondrous how the changes,
Since fifty years or more,
When boys wore home-spun breeches,
Which almost touched the floor.
Knee pants were not invented.
Nor suspenders from the store.
But "galluses" of ticking
Were the fashion in those days,
And emergencies were overcome
By various means and ways.
For instance, loss of buttons
Was substituted then
By wooden pegs made good and strong
To serve as coupling pins.
We girls were clad in homespun too,
Handwoven and handmade,
With stripes and checks, and colors,
OF every hue and shade.
Now do not smile. fair ladies,
But credence give to me,
When tell you they looked very nice
And neat as they could be.
And our girlies were so winsome,
And as proud of them, | ween,
AS ladies of the present days.
Arrayed in silken sheen.
With only one exception
Which recall to mind,
We bore our deprivations
And had no fault to find.
But during stress of War-times
When closed was every porte,
BY fleets OF blocka de vessels,
This was last resort:
TO wear upon our pedals,
Coarse shoes Of homemade leather.
Which were so hard and rough. and
red,
And hideous altogether,
hated them, and they in turn,
Seemed likewise 70 hate me.
They skinned my heels, and rubbed my
toes
And hurt me generally.
But oh! there came a happy day,
Twas springtime of the year,
When threw my old red shoes away
Ard donned ''boughten" pair.
The war had closed, the blockade
ceased,
The ports were opened wide.
And commerce was again resumed
Upon the rolling tide.
At Christmas time in those old DAYS
We had lot Of fun,
Although we had no modern toys
N popping Christmas guns.
We had no skates, no rubber balls.
Nor rockets sailing high,
With radiant light, flaming aloft.
Like banners in the sky"
In lieu of these. the boys would bore
A big hole in some tree,
Fill it with powder, set fuse.
And touch 1T gingerly.
When presently loud report
A mighty, thunderous sound,
Which Jared the earth, and oft wa
heard
For several miles around.
When preparations were begun
10 shot a Christmas tree

ON THE FIFTH MILE.
Judge Murry Has a Word About
The Mexico, Santa Fe and
Perry.

Judge Thos. F. Murry, of Calla-
way county, when in town yester-
day, said that nearly five miles Of
the Mexico, Perry and Santa Fe
electric railroad had been complet-
ed and that work was moving on
more rapidly on it than ever. Dur
ing the last three weeks the con.
tractors have experienced diff
Guilty in obtaining laborers, but
this has been overcome and the
line is moving along toward Here
ford. Another delay was occa-
stoned by the fact that there was
difficulty regarding the right of
way across a farm of Chas. Deane.
This has also been settled.
The mile of the road that is
now being built, according to the
Judge, is the most difficult and the
most expensive Of the twenty
miles between Mexico and Here
ford. Another half mile completed
and the builders will be on the
prairie where little grade will be
necessary. The rest of the fifteen
miles to Hereford will according
ly be on an easy grade and will be
completed in comparatively
short time.-Columbia Tribune.
