Milking the Country Banks

Manager Scherer at the New York
Clearing House testified to many
things before the Money Trust in
vestigating con mittee that will
cause the country banks to sit up
and take notice.
The clearing house was shown to
he composed of fifty New York
banks No hank with capital
stock amounting to less than 81 600. =
900 is eligible to membership.
MIR. Scnerer's testimony revealed
IA system by which the New York
banks gongc the country banks and
their clients out of millions.
He said that II cost cents per
~ 900 to collect the checks of couu-
try banks. The Clearing House, he
said, collects 10 cents per II 900, or
ten times the real cost
The average charge per day for
collections IL about $50, 900. 1t
amounts to about so 900 900 year.
From this fleeing process the fifty
banks comprising the clearing house
association eXtorted sufficient tri.
butte from the country bankers last
year to enable each of the fifty New
York Banks to pay an per cent
dividend on their capital stock.
Thus 1t becomes apparent to every
fair.minded person why the New
York City banks and financial mag
mates so bitterly opposed the in.
vestigation by Congress of the
Money Trust.

anan Thompson, who, with Mrs. DR..
Porter and Miss Hattie Fudge, daugh-
tiers, still survive to mourn the loss of
model husband and father.
Captain Fudge entered the con-
federate service in 1861 as Lieutenant
of Company H Forty Fifth Virginia
Infantry. In 1862 he was promoted
to the Office of captain of his COM
pany. He fought through many severe
battles. In leading charge at Pied
mont in 1864, he received a wound
in the right shoulder which sent him
to the hospital. and incapacitated
him for further service in the war.
He was gallant, loyal soldier,
proud of his record. In peace as we'll
as war, he was true as steel, as
gentle and modest as woman, bold
and fearless in the expression of his
opinion, yet conservative withall.
In church, society and business he
was equally conspicuous and promi-
nent. His familiar face, genial
greetings and quiet, persuasive in
fiuence will be sorely missed amongst
us. By this slash of his sword the
Arch enemy has cut great gap in
the ranks, which cannot be closed up.

honor and respect, for certainly true
it is, few men have lived in this or
any other section who had more true
friends or so few enemies, and that
he will be missed from among US, and
that Tazewell has lost one of her
most worthy and useful citizens, will

near the corner of the street leading
to the new cemetery. where Mrs.
Fudge died. After this the family
moved to the property now owned by
Rev. G. r. Brown. where Reuben
Fudge died.
Nine children were born to the

of the Immediate family. Reuben
Fudge married second wife, Miss
