WHAT is A BANK Deposit

The deposits in the banks are
sixteen billion dollars.
The money in h e banks
amounts to u billion dollars; the
money outside the banks, 2 bill
hon-33 billion of money in the
whole country.
Bank deposits, then, are more
than ten times as large as the
banks money holdings; they are
nearly five times as large as the
total stock of money in the coun-
try.
For every dollar the banks
owe their depositors they have
less than a dime in money.
Bank Deposits are Not Money.
What, then, is a bank deposit?
Only one dollar in twenty of
the deposits the banks receive
every day (hey run about a bill
lion a day. are in money. All
the rest are in the form of orders
or promises to pay money.
Ifyou go to your bank and
borrow $1,000 the bank credits
you with $1,000 on its books.
This is deposit. If you draw
a check against this deposit for
81, 900 to pay the mortgage on
your home, the man who gets
your check puts it in his bank.
This is a deposit.
If you are a manufacturer, you
get from a customer, in payment
for goods, his written promise
to pay you the amount in ninety
days. You put this note in your
bank, which credits you with the
amount less interest. This is a
deposit. Or, you draw an order
on your customer to pay you the
amount in ninety days; he "ac.
cepts" the draft; you put it in
your bank. This is a deposit.
In such ways the great bulk
of bank deposits arise. Modern
business makes actual money of
less and less Importance in the
exchange of goods between pro,
ducers and consumers.
Nineteen of all our business
is now done with bank credit.

ourselves on those questions
that are in the minds of all the

Sel6shness and vanity, the,

Selfshness and vanity, they
say, were the ruling passions of
Rev. Clarence RichesOn, the
Massachusetts murderer. Are
not those the passions which in
degree rule many persons? Take
seIfshness out and with it go
greed, vanity is the nd-maiden.
All the lower traits of human ar
rQgance and uncharity are but
the children of selfishness and
vanity nurses them, waits on
them, develops them. There is
no evil under which man suffers
but it can be traced back to sell
fishness. Selfshness and vani.
ty come as naturally to everyone
as to that Massachusetts muir
derer, and the great lesson for
early childhood, early manhood
and for maturity is the golden
rule. Do we teach it? Or do we
teach that acquisition for ones
self means success? Richeson
possessed youth, talent and fine
personality. Society did all ii
could to develop his vanity and
selfshness and by them he was
finally overpowered. His record
would be exactly duplicated in
thousands of cases under like
circumstances and environment.
Practice and systematic develop.

case is truly an object lesson.

Mrs. W. W. Judd
Shot and Killed
Tragedy Occurs on Nashville
and Monterey Shopping Train.

CookeviIle, Tenn, May 81
The most sensational tragedy in
the history of Putnam county was
enacted this evening at 6:35 o'clock
while the Nashville and Monterey
shopping train was stopping at
Buffalo Valley. Mrs. w w Judd,
of Double Springs, was shot three
times and instantly killed by Mrs.
Jesse G Barnes. The shooting
took place on the rear platform of
the passenger coach and the wea-
pom used by Mrs. Barnes was
80 Smith & Nesson revolver. Mrs
Judd fell dead on the platform
and her body was brought TO her
home at Double Springs on the
same train on which she had been
a passenger.
Mrs. Judd was the wife of w
w Judd, the Tennessee Central
depot agent at Double Springs.
She was also proprietress of the
Judd Hotel at Double Springs.
She was 80 years old and woman
Of fine appearance. Mrs, Barnes
is the wife of Jesse G Barnes, her
husband beng one of the best
! known men in this section of the
state. He owns the magnificent
farm on the west side of the Can
ely Fork river, near the Caney
Fork RAILROAD station, one of the
best farms in Middle Tennessee.
He was for many years a distller
in this county, and now owns Il
saloon in Nashville, where he stays
most of the time.
The cause of the killing, it is
alleged, was the relations existing
between Mrs. Judd and the hus-
band of Mrs. Barnes. Mrs. Barnes
is the second wife of j G Barnes.
She was reared at Evansville, Ind.
where she and Mr.. Barnes were
, married four years ago. They
have one child. Both she and Mr.
Barnes had children by former
marriages. The news of the trag-
edy spread rapidly and has caused
! great excitement. j e Barnes was
! in Nashville at the time of the
6 killing, and Mrs. Judd was en-
route to her home at Double
. Springs from Nashville. Mrs.

EXEMPTION FROM rAxAu0s MISE OR

Several cities, DESTROYS of Ob /

adopted methods, more or less

by other methods, less liable 10
