The Choctaws who abandoned their
claims and returned to Mississippi
seem to be perfectly satisfied, and are
not grieving because they do not own
land tracks in Oklahoma. Many OF
them are Woodworking farmers, and
in comfortable circumstances.
The Mississippi Choctaws establish

Dancing Rabbit Treaty, negotiated IN

STRONGEST BANK
IN MISSISSIPPI
Statement Just Made by First National
Bank Of Commerce, Said To BE
Best Ever Made by That Bank.

Elsewhere in this issue of The News
is published a copy of the statement
of the First National Bank of Com
merce of this city, made by it to the
COMPTROLLER of the Currency of Wash
ington, D. c., as required by law.
This statement, The News is ad-
vised. is about the best showing the
bank has ever made, considered from
every standpoint. Its capital stock
and undivided profits, as shown by
the statement, amount to S4SS,63525
and the amount of deposits shown Is
81 1898, 22S.0O. This large deposit ac-
count not only reflects credit on Hat
tiesburg, but this entire district, as
this bank draws business from over
the district generally.
The deposits of the bank show
large increase over the same GATE
last year, which indicates that busl-
ness has improved and that the gen.
eral financial condition of the people
is better. One of the officers OF the
hank stated in connection with the
report:
I'VE attribute this growth to the
fact that we make a speciality OF hahu-
ling small deposit accounts. we re-
ceive deposits from one dollar up, and
treat the small depositor with as much
courtesy as we do our larger custo-
mers. We pay interest on deposits
made in our Savings Department, ana
nav interest on Certificates OF De
posit issued for four months or long
err. We transact the bulk of our BUS
mess by mail.
Banking by mail is as convenient as
any form of banking. and is preferred
/ nv some as it assures absolute pr
vacy. We can serve the public
promptly in any part of the district
owing to the convenience of long dis
9 lance telephone, telegraph, mall ser
g.. vice and the express company. ines

t touch with each other, and have mad

u try and small towns to enjoy all IN

'L0RIMER RESIGNS
in A TERSE Note
TO HAMILTON CLUB
Urged That Resignation Be Accepted
Immediately, And it Was Thought
Friends Would Follow Suit.

Chicago, Sept. ia terse note of
resignation from the Hamilton Club,
of which he had been a member many
years, was the answer made here Sat
urday by United States Senator Lori
mer to the action of the club presi-
dent, John H. Batten, in withdrawing
his invitation to the Roosevelt ban
quet Thursday night. The invitation
was withdrawn at the demand of Col
Roosevelt, who refused to attend a
banquet at which Senator Lorimer
I was also guest.
While Senator Lorimer uregd that
his resignation be accepted immedi-
ately it is said that the Senator's
friends on the clubs board Of COVER
nors probably will refuse to vote the
acceptance.
Together with the resignation to-
day news of correspondence between
President Batten and Senator Lorimer
developed, showing that the junior
Illinois Senator was also to have been
a guest of honor, and it was the hope
that the club could make the dinner
notable as a harmonious occasion
where all factions of the Republican
party had broken bread together.
At least three invitations were sent
Lorimer, each urging him to attend
the banquet, and to the last of these
he sent his acceptance. After this
: on the day of the banquet, came thu
sudden recall of the invitation.
The note of resignation was writer
after a conference of the Senator will
a number of his friends, and at frs
was believed to be a cue which woul'
be followed by a numer OF his ad
mirers in the club. Later 1t was dc
cided by his friends to refuse to &C
cept the resignation.

SOUTH CAROLINA
PRIMARY TUESDAY
Democrats To Name Governor, Adju-
tant General, Railroad Commits
sioner and Two congressman.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 12.-South
Carolina Democrats on Tuesday VIII
make their final choice for governor
adiutant general, railroad commission
or and congressman in two districts.
The voting will constitute the second
primary. made necessary when there
are more than two candidates for Of
fee and no one of them receives
majority of the vote cast.
Chief interest in this second prl-
mary centres in the contest for gov
ernor, which is between G. c. Feather
stone of Laurens and Cole l.. Blease
of Newberry. Mr.. Featherstone en-
tered the campaign as the champion
of the statewide prohibitionisIs,
while Mr.. Blease ran on the local OPP
ton platform. Since T. G. Mcleod
another local option candidate, was
eliminated in the first primary, it has
been maintained by leading newspa
ners of the local option persuasion
that the issue is no longer one o.
measures but a question of personal fit
ness as between Mr.. Featherston'
and Mr.. Blease. Supporting THU
view several of the prohibition lead
era of the state have come out witt
admissions that the statewide prom
bition cause was practically defeate
in the first primary.
Since the first primary the IAN
paign has been bitterly contested
with both parties working hard. Tn
press of the state, with a single e.
ception, is supporting Mr.. Feathe
stone and attacking Mr.. Blease. Pr
, dictions on the outcome are futile.
