Washington, Nov. 9-Speaking of
the present discussion of currency
legislation, President Finley, of the
Southern Railway Company, said:
"The banks of the Southeastern
States compare very favorably as to
soundness and ability of management
with those of any other part of the
country. This was demonstrated in
the panic of 1907 and the subsequent
business depression.
In the South, as in the West,
much larger supply of currency .is
needed during the crop-moving period
than at any other time in the year.
The effect of the present banking
system is that, during this crop-mov-
ing season and as result of this
larger demand for cash, interest rates
tend to advance and credit is curtail-
ed, Notwithstanding the fact that the
farmers of the South are bringing
to market hundreds Of millions of
dollars worth of cotton and other
products, on the basis of which credit
should expand rather than contract.
Speaking generally, therefore, any
plan of currency legislation should
not only be such as will stand the
strain of conditions tending to create
pan1cs, but should also be so framed
as to meet peculiar sectional require
ments. This does not mean that leg
1slation should be sectional, for any
plan that will enable the banks of
the South, or of any other locality,
to meet their seasonal demands for
cash and to expand their credit with
in safe limits will be beneficial to the
entire country
TT is, believe, to the interest of
the entire country, as well as of the
South, that the banking resources of
each locality should be made availa-
bic for commercial transactions in
that locality, as far as this can be
done consistently with safety and
sound banking. In it's own operations
the Southern Railway Company aims
to aid in the carrying out of this
policy. So far as it can consistently
do so. it allows the money it receives
in payment for freight and passenger
transportation to remain in the local
tiles in which it is collected, in the
shape of deposits in local banks, to
be drawn upon from time to time as
occasion may require in payment of
wages and other obligations"

ter of the Daughters of the COnfed-
eracy, is in attendance at the meet
ing, having been in Richmond several
weeks prior to the date of the con-
vention.
Not to be outdone by the boys of
the school, the young ladies of the
Rocky Mount High School have or

called to organize an athletic asso
citation.
Miss Lois Threadgill made a de
cidedly clever talk on the subject OF
athletics and Miss Mary Smith was
