City councilmen and mayors may

A FLATTERIkG SHOWING.
Hattieshurg Has Largest Bank In The
State,

Hattiesburg Daily News.
The News publishes in this issue
the annual statement of the Firs E.
National Bank of Commerce of this
city. This bank statement should
be read by all, and ia connection
Herewith the reading matter accom-
panying same
The statement is especially inter
estlng because it shows the bank to
be the largest banking institution in
our state, and it also reveals very
strong position as 10 reserves This
is always an important item to con-
slider in criticising a bank statement.
The reading matter accompanying
the statement sets forth briefly the
views of those associated with the
bank as to what present financial
conditions are in these parts and
suggests a line of conduct and action
for the future, which is timely and
wholesome, and all would do well to
take it seriously to heart.
We cannot but endorse and hearth
ly approve of the suggestions as to
the present and future policy Of the
bank regarding its investments.
Banks should be as liberal in the
matter OF extending accommodations
as circumstances and reason will per-
NIT, as the volume of business and
the prosperity of the people are lar
gely regulated by the money supply
but at the same time the bankers
should not forget that their deposits
represent the savings and working
capital of the people. Due care should
be exercised by them in using these
funds, and the customers of banks
should also keep this fact in mind.
AS the bank says in the announce
ment referred to, the people should
be prepared to carry out their con
tracts. The fact that many could not
and did not do this, is what caused
the recent tie-up of the banks. If
those borrowing from the banks had
prepared to pay their notes at ma
turity, we would have had no panic.
Each citizen should keep before
himself constantly the fact that he
counts for or against the good of his
country, and unless he makes good
personally, he is positive detriment
to all. The condition of community
is determined by the conduct and de-
gree of success ACCOMPLISHED by
those who comprise it.
We are proud that Hatttiesburg
has the largest bank in Mississippi.
Distinction of this character means
something 1t means the people OF
these parts have made good, and a
showing OF this kind will not only
inspire and stimulate us to higher
achievements, but it will attract at
tention afar, and reflect much credit
abroad upon this section of our be-
loved commonwealth. (Pay Mtr.)

You may sheer at politics and
think it is AL the same" whether
you vote or don't vote, but we be-
lieve what the Picayune says is true:
The worst citizens in our country
are those who refuse to perform the r
public political duties. They are re
sponsible for incompetent men in
Office and for all the political corrur-
ton in public affairs. " Men Of lofty
ideals and pure principles give way
to their disgust or indignation at
the way things are run, drop out
Of the fight, and leave the country
to the worm, the flesh and the devil.
Such men are to be blamed more
than those whose lives are given c.
yer to the bad and vote on, regard
less, for men of their own ilk.

But you can never convince a stub

You may gather oil from gravel,
The mirage perhaps your thirsty
lips may cool,
If you seek it night and noon,
You may find a rabbits horn,
But you can't convince stubborn

EVANGELIST SPOKE
ON CHURCH DUTIES

An interesting talk regarding the du
ties of members of the general Chris
tian church featured the revival meet
ing held under the direction of the
Rev. II. d. Kennedy at the First M
E. church last evening. The evange.
lists subject for the occasion was the
familiar thought of the wine and
branches" During his talk he empha-
sized the sad condition of mere mem
bership in the church as contrasted
with the vital relationship between
church members and Christ, or be-
tween the branches and vine," and
told the audience how they could bet
ter themselves by living a more thor
oughly Christian life.
The revival meetings are steadily
becoming bigger feature in the re-
ligious work of the city, and much in
terest is bein gshown. Rev. Kennedy
will conduct another service this even
ing. A special session is announced
for tomorrow evening, when Mrs. H.
D. Kennedy, wife of the evangelist,
will speak on the topic Hope to Chris
tians." This meeting is planned as
one Of the principal features of the re-
vival, and the leaders in the movement
are anticipating a large crowd.

LITTLE CHILD HAD
A NARROW ESCAPE

Ignorant of the approach Of Fair
view street car, the three year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Schweitzer, walked in front Of the car
Monday and was saved from serious
injury only by prompt application of
the brakes by the motorman. The
youthful Miss Schweitzer was playing
with her hat pulled down over her
ears, so she did not hear the car ap-
proach. AS she crossed the tracks the
motorman tried to stop the car in
stantly, but owing to the condition Of
the brakes, it glided some distance be-
fore hating, knocking the child down.
The conductor ran up and carried the
infant to her home, at the corner of
State and Sheridan streets, where it
was found the child had suffered a
severe scalp wound. The street car
men were not held liable for the mis-
hap.

HOW GERMS SPREAD SKIN DISEASE

Eczema Psoriasis and other skin
troubles are caused BY myriads OF
germs at work in the skin. Unless
these germs are promptly destroyed
they rapidly multiply, gnawing their
way deep into the sensitive tissue.
This is what causes that awful itch.
and what seemed mere rash may
grow worse and develop in to a loath-
some and torturing skin disease with
its years of misery.
Don't take any chances! Destroy the
