delivered the first address in Annis-
ton Of the present campaign at thes
Calhoun County courthouse Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock, arrived in the
city Friday evening and went direct

Jr., his nephew.
Friday evening the former Governor

and supporters with a view of per
fecting his campaign in this county.
Mr.. Conner resided in Admission

shifting in tn political alignment and
much interest was manifested in the

BANKERS To ASK
AMENDMENTS To
CURRENCY BILL
Alabama Association Takes Action.
Aid of Senators and Con-
gressmen Needed.

MOBILE, Sept. Irrational banks
here have received letters from Nc
Lane Tilton, Jr., of Pell City, secre-
tary of the Alabama Bankers Asso-
citation, suggesting that the national
banks Of this State unite and seek the
aid Of Alabama Congressman and
Senators in an effort to procure GER
tain amendments to the currency
bill.
At a recent meeting of the execu-
tive council Of the Alabama. Bank
ers' Association Mr.. Tilton introduced
a resolution embodying the proposed
amendments, but the council decided
that 1t had no right to voice the SEN
timents OF the association, and the
resolution was tabled
Amendments Proposed.
Among the provisions of the pro-
posed amendments suggested by Mr..
Tilton are the following:
AS half the number of national
banks operate savings departments,
many of these being in communities
that have only one bank, no unneces-
sary restrictions should be put upon
this character of business that would
people or make bankers less anxious
to encourage this tendency. Savings
In national banks are safe now, and
any restrictions beyond the require
ments of safety would not only ac-
complish both of these undesirable re-
suits, but would prevent State banks
from Joining the system. II a segre-
cation OF capital or savings deposits
is required the smaller country banks
she uld be exempt from such provision
"As exchange charges are a legiti-
mate part of a banks revenue and
with the smaller country banks a
very considerable part, II would be
both unwise and unjust to have the
bill make any change in or attempt
to regulate or control the competitive
price of a service that deserves rea-
sonable compensation and is now en-
joying It,"
Companies Not Qualified.
Banks holding warehouse receipts
as security for borrowed money have
been insuring cotton with companies
not qualified to do business in this
State, and Alex E. Walker, superin-
tendent Of banks, has warned them
that they will be responsible in the
event of loss by fire, and can not col
lect insurance from the companies.
