Money for the Fifth. fass
Congressman F'inlesy and Lever went
to the, treasury department yesterday
In the interest OF a plan that looks to the
securing Of part of Secretary Nc
Adoo's proposed crop-moving deposit.
for the Fifth congressional district.
The proposed plan provides deposits in
all the ten national banks Of the dis
trict, and In the state banks also. II 1t
can be arranged. The idea Is that the
banks put up their individual and
joint notes, backed by acceptable coll
lateral, and that they share the aggre-
gate deposit in the proportion Of the
| capital stock OF each. The point was
made that II the hanks could thus get
q share of the government deposit at
| two per cent, they viii be enabled to
lend to borrowers at less rate than II
| they are required to borrow from de-
signated banks at six per cent, and
leave twenty per cent of the amount
borrowed with the bank making the
loan. The treasury department took
the proposition under advisement

Petition for Pardon.
Mr.. James L. Moss, Of Yorkville, r.
F. d. No. 8, is circulating a petition
| for the pardon of Lawson Simril, coll
ored, who was convicted at the April
1891, term Of the court of general ses-
sions for York county, Of burglary and
larceny and assault with intent to raw
ish and was sentenced to the peniten-
i tiary for the balance of his life. On
looking back in the files Of The En-
quirer 1t develops that Judge ]. B.
Kershaw presided at the trial while
Hon. d. E. Finley assisted Solicitor j.
liz. Mcdonald in the prosecution.
Messrs. ]. B. Bell and G. w. 8. Hart
appeared for the defense. The offense
was committed at the house Of a lady
who lived ten miles northeast OF York
Vile. The negro forcibly entered the
house and went into the room Of
young lady who was living there. Sim
ril was frightened away by her
screams; but was afterward arrested.
Mr.. Moss has been induced to take up
| the matter of a pardon through the
appeals of the negro to relatives who
work for Mr.. Moss. Mr.. MOSS mas
learned that the lady whose house was
| entered, thinks that Simril has been
punished enough for his offense, the
seriousness Of which was probably
magnified and Is willing to sign q petit
/ tion for his pardon. The petition has
been signed by number Of influential
| citizens who are more or less acquaint-
ed with the circumstances OF the case.
