BANK DEPOSITS
MAKE INCREASE
OF Nearly $4,000, 900 In the State
Marvellous Showing for Three
Months.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-An increase
of state bank deposits amounting to
$9,047,437.92 has been shown in this
state during the past three months.
These are the figures revealed in
the recapitulation issued by State Au-
ditor Smith this morning, and it forms
the most remarkable financial showing
in the history of the state.
The 334 state banks are now carry
ing over $62,0O0,00O in their vaults,
which surpasses all former records.
These statistics, of course, do not
include the national banks, which will
increase the amount about twenty per
cent.
In other words, there is now on de-
post in the banks of Mississippi, state
and national, about $10,0OO,OOO.
The statement is gratifying to the
bankers all over the state, while the
usiness men generally are pleased with
the remarkably good showing. There
is one thing shown by this statement,
and that is that the boil weeyil has
had but little, if any effect on the agri-
cultural interests. While the cotton
crop was short last year, other crops
took its place, and the increased de-
posits are said to be due to the fact
that while the farmers got a better
price for their cotton, they raised more
meat, corn and wheat, thus keeping
thelr money at home. The statement
follows:

TWO OLD time
PRINTERS in RACE
For Secretary of State-Both Later
Entered PoIities-Have Always
Been Friends.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 22.-Two old
time printers. w. Power and DR..
Frank e. Smith, are opponents for
secretary of state of Mississippi. Not
only are they old-time typos, but they
were printers devils together, both
working in Mr.. Powers fathers office
the old Clarion-which was, later,
merged into the Clarion-Ledger.
Not only were Messrs. Power and
Smith devils together, but according
to ancient history, they were typical
printers devils, each bent on getting
as much out of life as he could. They
worked side by side at the case after
becoming journeymen printers, and
have always been close personal
friends.
DR.. Smith studied medicine and be-
came practicing physician, afterward
drifting into politics, while Mr.. Power
graduated from the case to clerkship
in the state house under his father,
where he remained until his fathers
death several years ago, when he was
appointed by Governor Longino to
succeed Hon. ]. L. Power, who was
one of the most prominent Masons in
the state.
The rival candidates worked togeth-
er in the latter eighties and early
nineties. They were rivals for the
best typesetter in the Clarion-Ledger
office, after nearly twenty years, met
again as rival candidates for secretary
of state.

BILL NYE MEMORIAL DAY.

Raleigh, n. c., Feb. 22.-Today was
set aside in the public schools and col
leges of North Carolina for the hold
ing of exercises in memory of the late
Edgar William Nye, the famous hui
morist, who was a native of this
State. The object of the observance
was to arouse public interest in the
movement for the erection of "Bill
Nye" memorial building at the Stone
wall Jackson Manual Training School.

tation to deliver an address at the
commencement exercises of tie Missis-
sippi A. & M. College at Starksville in
June.
the invitation to Governor Harmon
was extended by President Hardy sew
eral weeks ago, and his acceptance
was received at Starksville today by
President Hardy.
1t is expected that Governor Harmon
will also visit Jackson while in the
state. During the legislative session
last winter, a joint resolution was
adopted by the two houses inviting him
to come to Jackson and address the
two bodies. He replied that he could
not do so, owing to important official
business at home, but promised to visit
Mississippi at a later date.
Since that time Governor Harmon
has written Governor Noel stating that
he intends to come to Mississippi dur
ng the coming year, and spend at least
one day in Jackson.
The coming of Governor Harmon is
or more than passing significance in
view of the fact that he is regarded
by many as the logical man for the
Democratic nomination for president.
Among the political leaders of the
state he has many warm admirers,
and they will doubtless come to Jack
son to pay their respects during his
visit.
