The National Credit


Since our Uncle Samuel struck
the country for . loan of matter
of $50,000,000, haFing had some
extra expenses lately with his new
canal, the world has looked with
much interest for the response. II
was to throw light on two import.
ant questions. Is the old mans
credit good enough to get him the
loan at a low rate Of interests Has
the country money enough handy
to let him have it at alls
The first question had special in
terest for the reason that not since
1852 had the national credit been
fairly tested. All loans to Uncle
Sam from that time to this have
carried with them the privilege OF
use as a basis Of bank note circula-
ton, says the Nebraska State
Journal.
A bank could lend it's money to
the government, taking the gov
ernment's note, or bond. Then,
by depositing the bond as security,
it could issue for circulation as
money its own notes tor 80 per
cent of the face of the bond. For
its loan to the government, the
bank thus received not only the in
terest on the government bond,
but also the interest on its notes
which this bond permitted to is
sue. This made the bonds so de-
sirable to bankers that they have
taken them at less than the market
rate of interest. Our $731,0 0O.-
600 of such bonds are now above
par, though they bring only 2 per
cent interest. How artificial this
value must be, we see in the fact
that British bonds bringing d per
cent are 20 per cent below rar.
This new American loan was to
pay 3 per cent, and does not carry
any privilege with it. 1t must
stand on its own legs.
The second question had special
interest because the country is
commercially and financially
somewhat in. the dump. The
money or lack of money offered
for this loan would indicate some
thing of present financial re-
sources.
The bids are now in, and both
answers are favorable. More than
three times the amount asked for
is offered: This reveals much
loose = money-no stringency.
While it shows small disposition
toward business enterprise for
money to be for loan at less than
3 per cent, it shows also that the
debt-paying which must precede
resumed business activity has al
ready made great Roadway. This
sign is likely to encourage bust
ness revival, as did the ready pur-
chase of the Pennsylvania rail-
roads bonds following the panic
of 1907, and the over-subscribed
government loan of 1896.
And the national credit shows.
up splendidly. These 3 per cent
bonds sell at an average of 81 per
cent premium, whereas German
"threes" are at eighteen, and
French ''threes" at four per cent
discount. Uncle Sam is in good
health and his business men con-
Yalescent, thank you.

Circuit Court Proceedings.

From the Advocate we get the follow
ing report of the final proceedings of the
Jefferson Circuit Court, which adjourned
for the term last week:
The last day of court, as usual, was
noteworthy for the large number OF chan
Gerry orders entered. One of the most
important of these was decree constru-
ing the will of the late Edward A. Colston.
In one clause of his will, Mr.. Colston left
two legacies of ST 900 each TO Richmond
College TO maintain scholarships for two
ministerial students, and in another clause,
after making number of requests to rela-
tiveS, he left the remainder OF his estate
to the college. An attempt was made to
prevent the college from getting these
legacies, the ground being that the Ian
guage of the will was not sufficiently
specific TO warrant the requests being
turned over to the institution. Judge
Faulkner held that the contested clauses
are valid, and Richmond College is be-
tween Sc, 900 and $1,000 better off by that
construction. Mr.. Colston's requests of
ST 900 to build parsonage for the Bap-
fist church at Summit Point. and OF ST 900
for the support of the Baptist minister at
the same church, were held void, how
ever, owing TO the indefinitenes and I'M
certainty of the objects to be benefited
by them.
Lille B. Rogers was granted divorce
from her husband, Chas. F. Rogers, and
was awarded the custody of her daugh-
ter, Ethel May Rogers. The custody OF
the son will be determined later.
In the case of S. E. Bailey ct al. VS..
w. E. Myers ct al, it was ordered that
30 days be allowed the defendant in
which to pay off the liens on his real es-
tate. In default of payment, the property
is to be sold.
The demurrer was overruled in the case
of James w. McGarry VS.. JefferSonville
Manufacturing and Improvement Com
pany, and three exceptions were filed to
the report of Commissioner S. w. Wash
ington. Leave was given the Jefferson
vile Company, J. M. Mason, Jr., and N.
R. Roberts to file seprate petitions.
The sale Of the one-fourth interest OF
William Henry Johnson in farm OF 63
acres near Johnsontown to Chas. w. Fox
was confirmed. The consideration was

Baseball Affairs.

DdSSDdiI AildlIS.
The Western Maryland Baseball League
was reorganized III Hagerstown last Fri
day with four teams in the circuit-Fred-
erick, Martinsburg. Brunswick and Shep-
herdStown. The following officers were
elected: President, L. H. Thompson,
Martinsburg; vice-preSident, DR.. H. S.
Hedges, Brunswick; treasurer, J.. H. Quig-
ley, ShepherdStown; secretary, H. B.
Clark, Frederick; executive board, S. NJ.
Bowers. Jr., Martinsburg, A. J. Kaplan,
Brunswick, c. S. Musser, Shepherds
town, H. B. Clark, Frederick. The old
schedule was revised and new one
adopted that provides for games lasting
until September 7th next.
Last Saturday Shepherdstown Journey
ed TO Brunswick, where the rsilroaders
beat us 7 to nothing. 1t said that neither
side scored until the eighth inning, when
the Brunswick men got the bulge on us
and piled up diScouraging number OF
runs. Tuesday this same husky aggrega-
ton from Brunswick came to Shepherds
town, where they downed the home
team again-this time by score Of IL to
4. Our boys made plucky fight to the
last, but they were up against very
serious proposition. The Bunswickmen
are as big as elephants and as active as
cats, and they slugged the ball and gal
loped around the bases in scandalous
fashion. Onison, of the visitors, made
the prettiest hit ever seen on the local
diamond. He knocked a ball high over
the center field fence, squarely in the
middle OF the field, and it would have
been going yet, may be, had il not been
stopped by striking telephone pole
alongside the road OF course he made
a home run-he could have gone around
two or three times before the ball was
recovered.
The next game to be played in Shop
herdstown will be Saturday Of this week,
when the Martinsburg team goes against
our boys. Frederick will play in Shep-
herdstown June oath.
