1t is not known at this time how
its affairs reached the point that
made IL necessary to close it's doors.
Quite large crown of depositors
hung around il for a while this
morning, but there was nothing do

The State bank examiner visited
the bank few days ago, but it is
not given out whether or not he is
responsible for the closing of the
doors.
Bank of Lamar Perfectly Solvent,
Says Directors i'm Statement.
Lamar. April Especial: The

illness of the president and the
sudden resignation of the cashier.
A notice to that effect was posted
OH the door
No crowd was hanging around
the bank, the statement to that ef-
feet published in The Sunday News
to-day from Darlington being erron-
eouS.
The directors of the bank in Il
statement, say that the institution
is perfectly solvent and would have
been open for business on Saturday
but for the unavoidable Circumstan-
Ces related above.
The News and Courier adds edi-
torially:
The statement in The Sunday
News, of yesterday, concerning the
failure of the Bank Of Lamar to
open it's doors on Saturday morn
ing was incorrect ii it gave anybody
the impression that the bank was in
financial difficulties. AS Il matter
Of fact the cashier resigned last
week and this left the institution
without an adequate clerical force.
On Saturday the President was i'll
and unable to go to the bank,
wherefore there was no one to open
it. : notice to this effect was
posted on the banks doors. There
was no reason why there should
have been. The State bank exam

CORONATION OF pmTRARCH.
April y, i3i1.

1t is five hundred and seventy
years Saturday since PetrarCh was
crowned upon the Capitol at Rome.
The crown was not of gold and dia-
monds, but of laurel. and the man
upon whose brow it rested was the
greatest of all kings-the King Of
Thought. The man upon whose
head the grace and reverend Sena-
tors placed that laurel wreath own
ed no palaces or royal robes, no
subjects bowed down to him in
humble obedience, no boast of her
aldry or pomp of power attended
upon his steps; but in real import
ance no monarch was for Il moment
to he compared with him. for he
was the Inauguration of Il new do
minion, more enduring than that oi
the CaeSarS-the eternal empire of
mind, the everlasting dynasty OF
truth.
They were crowning the father o.
the literary revivals, the man who
had revived the arts and sciences
in a barren age, and by his genius
opened a new stadium for the hu-
man intellect.
In the words OF Tainc After the
terrible night OF the Middle Ages,
and the dolorous legends of spirits

to see Olympus shining upon us
from Greece, it's heroic and beauti-
full duties once more rayishing the
heart OF man. They raised and in

ing TO il the language of passion
and genius: and this age of tsrong
deeds and bold invention had only
TO follow it's own bent in order to
discover i'll them its masters and the
eternal promoters of liberty and
beauty"
Among the promoters of the lit
erary dawn Francesca Petrarch
holds the first place. 1t was through
his instrumentality that the INTEL

long silent in tho medieval gloom.
We're brought TO life, as it were,
and made to repeat their great
thoughts to the world that had
forgotten them.
Petrarch it was who collected the
first libraries and did the pioneer
work in the line of discovering the
long lost classical manuscripts -
the workings of the immortal men
who in Athens and Rome created
art and science, philosophy and elo-
quence. politics and Jurisprudence,
thus making possible rebirth of
civilization and ALL the wonderful
hings that were to go along with it..
In word, the man who was
crowned by the Senators on the
Capitol on that Easter day OF the
year 134l was the First OF the
Moderns, the herald OF the morn
ing of the day of modern thought
and achievement. The creator not
only of modern literature, but of
the idea that literature should be
made he snstrument of self-culture
and the promotion OF mans domin-
ion over the earth. Petrarch is
we'll deserving of the large and
radiant fame that the ages have
voted him.

Views of An American Woman on
How 10 Train Young Girls for

How should mother train her
her daughters to appear desirable

should she make them? Should she
keep them at home or let them 90

well known American woman
mas given her views on this topic,
says the London Mirror. and has eX-
planned exactly the right way, in
her opinion. to train girls so that
every man who meets them will
want to lead them to the altar or

First, the girls must have no
sense of humor," she says.
"A girl who has sense of hui
NOR does not take men seriously
and men cannot forgive any girl,
however lovely and accomplished
she may be, who laughs at them.
"On the other hand. the girl who
treats each man as if he were the
wisest thing i'll the world is
straightway adored and regarded as
woman of infinite good sense and
lofty character, quite fitted to be
that mans lifelong mate.
The girl who is tall and strong
must never behave in the pretty
kittish manner that is SO charming
i'll the slight girl.
THE slight girl, on the other
hand, should be carefully trained
by her mother to be playful and
mercurial, for while il is incong-

Such girls can talk to their
husbands on business. and talk in
telligently. and most successful men
want to talk over business matters
with their wives.
For that reason typists and CON
ftdential secretaries have excellent
chances of marrying the men who
have come to the top, and that is
Just what good mothers want.
How can mother marry off

Send such daughter out TO

she may keep the man just suffi-

be interested in her n the evening

And last of all, every girl should
be taught that, however keen she
is to please her mother by getting

Littleton, Ala. April S.-One
hundred and eighteen men are to-

and but three bodies have been
brought to the surface, following a
terrible explosion early this morn

The fatal after-damp, which fol-
lowed the explosion, has so far
kept the rescuers from penetrating
the mine, although they have been
far enough in the interior to see
a gruesome pile of human bodies
huddled together near the shaft. 1t
is estimated that about 20 men are
in the pile. Officials of the Pratt
Consolidated Coal Company, who
own the mine, have practically
abandoned hope of bringing out
any of those below the surface
alive.
This afternoon they could be
heard knocking on the pipes be-
low. but There is an ominous still

the suffocating after-damp has done

NEEDS MORAL TRAINING

Our poor benighted neighbor who
attempts to run the renegade sheet
next door to us, is too utterly unre-
liable ior even an attempt to disproye
his misstatements. Before You get
through showing him up in one fab
rioation he has half dozen new
roorbacks. not only with no founda-
ton, but containing not even d SEM
blance OF truth or responsibility. He
is a very hard quantity, and we are
nearing the conclusion that it is use-
less to reason with him or to deny
the miserable MISREPRESENTATION
which his innate depravity leads him
to make.
There Is no question about 1t.
This young fellow has missed his oc-
cupation. He daily displays his utter
incapability of managing the task he
has undertaken. OF course, he can't
help lit is his nature, so he really
should not be censured. This is WHY
we are inclined to cease our endeav-
ors to dispel the dense cloud OF his
ignorance. The job is too big for us.
We admit it.
we have not been accustomed to
dealing with persons of his class. so
our knowledge of pedagogy is too
limited to justify our tackling his
case. He should be sent to school
to Prof. Headly, or some other cap
aple educator for treatment.

STORY OF BEATTIE TRIAL IN
NUTSHELL.

Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., drove his

night OF July IS and unIoaded the
body of his wife.
The young husbands story that
the murder was committed by q
rough-beaided stranger and that he
Wrested from the murderer a single
baIreled shot gun, was discredited
by police authorities.
The state showed that young Beat
tie killed his wife i'm order that he
might be free to continue relations
with Beulah Binford, young woman
of the underworld.
Meanwhile Beulah Binford left the
scene OF her notoriety and, after
being released from Jail, hurried to
New York to accept a stage engage
ment.
The jury returned verdict of
murder in the first degree. Beattie
was condemned to death by electro
cution, and November "a fixed for

the bar OF justice in the courts.
Pro. Headly has been before the

made up of educated men, and they
