Causing the greatest regret among

Causing the greatest regret among
relatives and frients, telegraphic
messages received here Saturday an
.nounced the death of A. NJ C. Rus
sell, at mis- home in Brooksvilie, Fla,
at 8 10 O'Clock Saturday morning. Ills
death came unexpectedly, as II mad
been but short time since Mr.. Russell
was in Jacksonville and other cities
of the state in the interest o. mis- cam
paign for election as state superin-
tendent of public instruction.
The messages received SATURDAY
morning were to Rufus A. Russell,
business manager Of the Metropolis,
and Walter s. Russell. also connected
with the Metropolis, whO are brothers
of the deceased The dispatches an
nounced that the funeral services
would take place ii Br0ohsvilie sun
day morning.
The deceased was 4 native Of GeOr-
gia, and was born in BiDb county in

hood at cambridge After coming 10

AND THE BANKING
INTEREST

One reason why Mr.. Underwood is
so popular with business men is that
he is SO strongly in favor of a reform
of our banking and currency system
In the newspapers generally and IN
the trade and financial panerS partie-
uIarly ne has been and is being com
mended for the plank in the demo
cratic platform of Alabama calling for
banking and currency system nav
ing elasticity and preserving indie
pendent banks from any dominant r.
nancial or political control.
It is stated that it was through Mr..
UnderwoOd's influence that this plank
was put in the platform. he wanted
it in the platform of his party in his
own state in order TO show that ne
was deeply concerned for the welfare
of the business and financial inter
ests OF the country It has brought
him almost as much approval as his
work in behalf OF tariff revision The
fact is that Mr. Underwood is q states
man who is on the lookout all the
time for the interests that make for
the prosperity of the country
Our banking and currency system
is Just about as bad as it can ne.
Bankers have been calling for it's re-
form for years and many plans have
been proposed, but because it is in
politics nothing has been accomplish
ed. In reforming the banking and
currency system there ought To be no
politics The best talent in both of
the great parties ought to be ptflized
in ironing new banking and curren-
cy system, and when completed par
ty lines should be observed in it's
consideration and adoption.
We have now pending in congress
the Aldrieh plan., and it is probable
that it mas the support of able men
in both political parties, but because
it bears the name of republican,
democrats shouldn't object TO it. IT
should be considered solely on its
merits and adopted if found 10 be
what is needed.
Mr.. Underwood is a strong advo-
cate of banking and currency reform
just as he is of tariff reform. He sees
what the country needs and he uses
his influence and power as the Lead
er of the house to supply those needs.
1t is possible that congress will pass
a reform banking and currency meas
ure before the next president is inau-
gurated, but if it doesn't it is certain
that if Mr.. Underwood is chosen pres
ident he will make such reform a.
feature of his administration.-Sa

The Oeala Banner may be and no
doubt is very often wrong in its crit
icisnls Of the attitude Of its eon1eu-
porarles on questions Of more or less
grave public concern, and its eonclu-
sions therefrom erroneous. but as a
rule when it eriticizes an article it Is
always fair enough TO print the arti-
Gle entire that ii criticizes. SO that
its readers may Judge for themselves
whether or not its criticisms are just

an article il critieizes makes its re-
production impossible. but in that
case it tries to make the extracts co
pious enough to cover the points at
issue. The Banner is rarely, il ever.

The mint at Philadelphia is the second

In it the first of the year were $3c5, 00O,-

gold scattered here and there among
the different minis and assay offices.
This outpouring of gold that last year
amounted to $466, 100000. is steadily on the
increase. Not only is the promise held
forth of continued production of these
amounts. but Of ever larger amounts. The
nations of the world, being on gold
standard. are pledged to buy all the gold
that is offered. The United States is now

that rate will double her treasure in six
years. In that time the supplies in the
