POSTAL SAVINGS BANK OPEN TODAY Uncle Sam Is Now Ready
 for Deposits TO OPEN AT 3 O'CLOCK Anyone Over the Age of 10 Years Can Open an Account and
 Accumulate $500 Govern
 ment Bonds
 

Tie postal savings bank plan adopted by the United States government will open at the local postoffice this morning at o'clock. Announcement to this ef- feet was made yesterday by George c. Oliver, who is acting postmaster, and who has "boosted" the location of a postal savings bank here since he assumed charge of the postoffice. The deposits will be taken by a clerk at the money crder division of the postoffice, and the bank will be open daily from o'clock until o'clock in the evening.
 The governments assurance is given. in the plan that the utmost privacy will be maintained at all times as to the names of deposltors and any information desired by anyone. It is a rule of the plan that absolutely no information be divulged.
 The plan provides that anyone over 10 years of age may open an account eX- cept that deposits will not be received from corporations, associations, societies or partnerships. Deposits will be re- ceived only in even amounts, such as $2, s. s10, $2o. $50, $1O0 and up to $500. When any depositor has to his credit the sum of $500 the plan provides that gov ernment bonds must be applied for, and no amount of deposits will be received after the maximum amount until the bond has been secured.
 Accounts will be opened by a certificate being issued of the amount, which is non-negotiatble and non-transferable. The depositor does not lose in case the cer- tiflcate is lost This is protected by the retention of a duplicate. Persons de- siring to save up to $1 may purchase a card and then savings stamps at 10 cents each until s1 is reached. The stamps are then deposited. Interest at the rate of ? per cent per annum is to be paid on all deposits, payable annually and computed on each deposit sepafate- ly. A depostor may withdraw a de- regulations set up, by the government.

Both principle and interest are payable in 20 years in United States gold coin. They are exempt from all government, state. county or city taxes. They can only be secured by converting postal savings into the bonds, as persons not having postal savings account cannot secure them.

YANCEY SOCIETY
High School Literary Club Meets
 With New President Presiding

The Yancey Literary society of the Central high school held it's regular weekly yesterday afternoon in the club rooms at the high school with the newly elected president, Joseph Cook. presiding.
 About 50 were present and enjoyed the programme, which consisted of q debate of the humorous vein. The de- bate was argued eXtemporaneonsly by five members on each side. Those argu- ing the subject on the affirmative were Latimer Brown, Robert Goodall, Henry Hamilton. Lewis Woodson and Irving McCrossin, while Stuart Coleman, Jo- seph Carson, Jack Smith, Lee Bradley and Armstrong Corey upheld the neg ative. After some deliberation the judges decided in favor of the nega- tive.
 At the beginning of this semester the Yancey society has about 60 mem- bers upon the roll In view of the fact that many did not return to school and the newcomers to the high school were placed at the Paul Hayne school, the membership was not materially in creased.
 At the meeting yesterday three mem- bers of the faculty were present and made speeches to the members of the socity. MT. Certain, the new head of the English department made short talk, which was very well received. After MT. Certain, MT. Sandman de- hvered a short address, and he was followed by Mir McGlathery After some routine matter the club ad- journed.
