Banks Consolidate.

In this issue will be found the
amendment of the charter of
the Peoples Bank & Trust Co..
permitting the increase of its
capital stock from 500, 900. 90
to S125, 10000. This is the re-
suit of the stockholders meeting
of said bank held on Wednesday,
at which time the decision was
reached to increase its capital
stock for the purpose Of Offering
the stock to parties heretofore
not connected with the bank.
On Wednesday the stockhold-
ers of the Farmers Bank & Trust
Co., met and decided to liquid
ate that bank. We are advised
that the Peoples Bank & Trust
Co. will offer it's stock to all res
ident stockholders of the Farm
ers Bank & Trust Co.
The liquidation of the Farm
ers Bank & Trust Co. and the
increase of the capital stock of
the Peoples Bank & Trust Co.
will be perfected as soon as pos
sible.
This movement is marked with
considerable interest on account
of the rapid strides that have
been made during the last few
years in the banking business in
this county. The Farmers Bank
& Trust Co., since its organiza-
tion, has been paying regular
dividends, and the value of its
stock in liquidation will net its
stockholders the amount paid in
and a surplus, of clear profit, of
3333A 3333A per cent. This shows a splen-
did business management on the
part of the officers and directors.
The Peoples Bank & Trust Co.,
with it's additional capital stock
and the increased volume of bus
mess which will come to it, will
be placed in the front rank in
banking circles of the State.

the Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, aided by the Confederate
Veterans and Sons of Veterans,
immortal services will be held
on the battlefield of Harrisburg,
one mile and a half west Of Tu-
pelo. The day selected for the
exercises is the 47th anniversary
of the battle.
The events of that thrilling
time will be recalled by sur
vivors who have been invited to
be present and participate in the
exercises and relate the story OF
the battle as they saw it nearly
half century ago. The great
majority who were present have
long since joined their comrades
on the other side, but Of the he
roes of the battle time has spared
a few who are here and once
more visit the ground on which
their valor was displayed in the
service of the South.
To these a truly Southern vel

the day may pass without an
untoward incident to mar its
pleasures.

A Word With Our Contempt.
raries.

The pending senatorial elec
ton in Mississippi is attracting
wide attention, and we have OBJ
served with no small degree of
surprise the attitude of our es-
teemed contemporaries, The
Commercial Appeal. The New
Orleans Picayune and The New
Orleans Times-Democrat, to
wards this contest in the state
in which they circulate more
widely than any other metropo-
Titan dalies.
We suspect that these great
journals are controlled by what
we regard as mistaken view OF
the propriety of taking an active
part in the political contests OF
a state other than the one IN
which they are published. We
say that it is a mistaken view
that newspaper so situated
should refrain from active par
ticipation in such contests, for
the reason that we conceive it to
be the function of public
Journal, not only to gather the
news and publish it, but to lead
the thought and action OF It's
readers into what it concelves to
be proper channels.
The daily newspaper is an
institution of our current clvlllza-
ton, and the average citizen
would as soon dispense with his
breakfast as to be deprived of
his morning paper. We do not
believe that the papers mentioned
would lose any prestige should
they enter actively into the
Mississippi campaign, upon the
other hand we feel sure that
their daily issues would be more
eagerly sought after than is now
the case.
The Advertiser has never hesi-
tated to utter its convictions con-
cerning men and measures be-
fore it's readers for consider
alton, and it's present dominant
position in Alabama journalism
is a most eloquent tribute to its
fidelity to it's convictions.
And we are perfectly aware
that our valued contemporaries
have convictions and possess the
courage to maintain them, for
we have seen them displayed on
many occasions. We can remem-
ber with great distinctness how
Col Matt Galloway. the militant
editor of one of the constituent
elements of the present great
Memphis daily. used to fight the
battles OF Lamar through the
columns Of mis- paper.
Knowing the character of our
contemporaries as we do. we
have been puzzled to understand
why they have held aloft from
the contest which is OF such
vital interest. as we see it, to
their readers in Mississippi.
The whole South, indeed, the
Democratic party in the ration.
is concerned, vitally concerned,
in the issue Of the primary cleo
tion in Mississippi. The wave
The Tupelo journal., 1911-07-14

of populism and the direct pri-
mary swept from position many
of the strong men who were &C.
customed to represent the South
ern States in national affairs.
Their places were taken in many
instances by men of small caliber
and no gifts for wise legislation.
Among the number of derelicts
thrown to the surface by this
eruption was that mouthlng
demagogue, ]. K. Vardaman,
who has long been a menace to
the peace and prosperity of
Mississippi.
The Democratic party cannot
afford upon the eve of its entry
upon the control of the national
government to send another of
the Arkansas Jeff Davis type,
though lacking his intelligent
strength, to the United States
Senate. And we call upon our
esteemed contemporaries to bare
their arms and enter the fight
with a determination to eliminate
this destructive element from our
political life. If The Advertiser
were so fortunate as to have a
circulation among the good peo-
pie of Mississippi, we do not
hesitate to say that our blade
would be out and we would
neither ask nor give quarter to
this enemy to our institutions.
Hon. Leroy Percy, the sit
ting Senator from Mississippi.
has in his brief career demon
strated his fitness for the po>
sition. His record has been truly
remarkable in one unframed in
legislative procedure. With
Percy and Williams to represent
her, Mississippi enjoys the proud
distinction which was hers in
former years, the years when
the great triumvirate, Lamar,
Walthall and George. spoke for
her in the Senate. There is, too,
another able and pure minded
man in the Senate race in the
person of Mr.. Alexander who is
a thousand times preferable to
Vardaman. AS we see it, Missis-
sippi cannot afford to take a
backward step at this time, and
we, therefore, call upon our good
friends. The Commercial Appeal,
The Picayune and The Times
Democrat, in the friendliest spirit
possible, to come swiftly to the
support Of the good people Of
Mississippi and the right, for we
cannot doubt that they hold Mr..
Vardaman in the light of q com
mon brawler and agitator whose
election will reflect no credit on
the people of his State. Mont

 Only a line of chemical by Alert hose company and individual extin- guishers were necessary to get the fire under control. It was confined to the cellar in the vicinity of the furnace. A small pile of shingles used for kind ling was burned and the& damage is solely by smoke that forced an en- trance to the front room through a drum in the chimney in that part of the house.

ATTEMPTED SAFE BREAKING
 AT sToRRs COLLEGE
by Nitro GIyeerins-Thought to Be Work of Professionals.

Shortly before o'clock Friday morning an attempt was made by cracksmen to steal the contents of a safe at the Connecticut agricultural college at Storrs. The safe is located in the office of the main building of the college and is peculiarly situated, inasmuch as the part of the building wherein the safe Is housed is an ell recently built. with window at either side and light hanging just above the strong box.
 The would be burglars bored two holes in the outer door above the lock and fixtures, as if to use them for peep holes, but in all probability ef- fected entrance to the office by pick ing the lock. which was of the ordi- nary Yale variety. When they had gotten in they evidently went down cellar and procured a quantity of bunting that was used for decorative purposes and an old door to be used later as muff1er. They then ap- parently drilled two holes in the safe door around the combination and poured in a quantity of nitro glycer- inc. but the charge was not heavy enough to blow off the door, although 1t wrecked the combination to the ex- tent that entrance to the safe could not be effected Friday.
 The burglars were evidently fright ened away as the night watchn1an. Peter Kuehle, who was in the hall ad- joining. Gould hall, arrived immedi- ately after the charge went off and in time to put out the fire in the office, as the bunting was scattered all around the room and caught fire. The fire damage to the office is estimated at about $50 and the loss to the safe is said to be total The safe was large one of the Barnes make and cost s650. There was considerable money in 1t at the time, but not as much as at some times. careful investiga- ton of the premises was made, but
