AeREE on W. BANKING ~.
Full Text of the Measure Soon to Be
Made Public.

Made Public.
Jacksonville joint legislative COM
mittee appointed to frame a new state
bank inspection law has practically fR-
ished its work. Copies OF the new meas
ure will be drafted within the next few
days and sent to all members for their
approval. While nothing has been given
out by the committee, it is learned from
members of the committee that the
salient points of the proposed law are
as follows:
(1l The bill provides for the creation
of a new state department to be known
as the banking commission. 1t is to be
composed of three commissioners, one of
whom must be a banker, one a lawyer
and one an expert accountant. The bank
er is to be appointed by the governor,
the lawyer by the Encouragement and
the accountant by the auditor OF public
accounts. The commissioners, so chosen,
are to hold their Office for = term of four
years, vacancies in the commission being
filled by the officer making the appoint.
ment which has become vacant.
~ The commissioners To select three
competent examiners. who are to do the
actual work of checking up banks. APP
p~licants for these positions must first
stand an examination to test their COM
potency, and the commissioners will ap-
point the three applicants making the
highest grade in the examination. The
salaries OF the examiners are fixed at
s $500 per annum, their term of office
is four years, and they may succeed
themselves only by again making the
highest grade in the examination. 1t
is also provided that no examiner may
examine the same bank twice in success
sion.
(3) The expense Of the banking COM
mission department will entail no addi-
tional burden on the taxpayers, since
it is to be supplied with necessary funds
by n levy of onc-forticth OF one per cent
upon the resources of all state banks.
On the basis of their present condition,
this small tax will afford the banking
commission Il revenue OF about $4,000
per annum, which will be ample for all
purposes.
(4) The bill contains what is known
as the double liability provision. This
means that in the event of a banks
failure its stockholders are liable to its
creditors in double the amount of stock
which they own, and in so far as cred
tors are concerned it has the effect Of
doubling the capital stock of every bank
in the state.
The manner of selecting the commits
sioners and bank examiners is a COM
promise between the senate and the
house, that being the chief point of diff
ference between the two branches when
the Kyle and Rencher-Smith banking
bills were before the last regular session
Of the legislature.
BY the provisions Of the Kyle bill,
which passed the senate, officers OF the
state banking department were appoint
ed by the governor, by and with the adj
vice of the senate.
The Rencher-Smith bill, which was
adopted by the house, provided for the
election of officers Of the banking de-
partment by the people.

nothing that can be called politics, but

CHAPTER xxI.-continued.

Nothing of q personal nature had
been allowed 70 help contribute to this
success. No Mention had been made
In the News q! the assault on its edi-
tor in Mike Nloonan's lodging house,
because to Wright it had appeared as
a personal matter. The day previous
Gloria had denounced him and cried
aloud for vengeance. He recognized
that had Gloria not been mixed up In
the affair the result might have been
the same, but the personal element
was what mada him hold his peace.
The news that the day had been car
rted for good government was only a
temporary intexicant. There were a
few moments Of exhilaration when his
real feelings we're submerged in the
general rejoicing that David Kerr had
been given a more severe setback
than he had ever before received.
Then came TIM ebb of the tide, leav-
ing him on tina desolate shore Of dis
heartening uncertainty. The past was
a nightmare end the future a blank.
The tumult And the cheers had died
away, the BRASS bands at last were
stilled, his sitttng-room with two win
dows on the street and its W private
entrance had been cleared Of tobacco
smoke, and the reception he had held
when 1t was learned the election had
gone his wHy was at an end, when
DOE Wright sat himself down alone In
the quiet kf the first hours OF the
morning to sake stock of his future.
Gloria? What of her?
It was always Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
running through his mind, knocking at
the door of his heart.
Always Of the Gloria who had
spurned him, he thought, for he knew
nothing of the part she had played In
the lodging house. 1t was not a stu
alton to contemplate with e~quanimity
this living in the same town with
the woman he loved madly. Were Bel
mont of some size, a city like st. Louis
or Pittsburgh, there would be the prob.
ability that their paths would seldom
cross. Yet in Belmont everyone knew
everyone else and never a week passed
but what thes' all met at least in pass
ing.
1t would be impossible for him to
avoid Gloria altogether. He was frank
enough to acknowledge to himself thai
he would undoubtedly seek those
places where there would be some Ger
tainty of his meeting her. To be in
the same town with her meant that he
could not give her up. Yet he knew
that any overtures he might make
would be worse than useless. He fell
that her prejudice was such that there
could never be established that bono
without which matrimony Is unholy
The rufled pool may again be calm
the misted mirror may again be clear
vet he believed In her ignorance she
would feel that when two hearts buI

The harder he tried to fight agains
his conviction Of what he should do
the more Wright was convinced tina
there was but one course for him tt
pursue: it would be best for him tt
leave Belmont. This would be not TO-
a week or a month, but for all time
1t would be necessary for him to dis
pose of the paper, but this he coul'

Jackson.-The people of Kinds county
will be glad to know that there is a
prospect that Jackson and Vicksburg will
be connected next year with a modern

Construction of A Road Drag.

The ordinary road drag is a contrivance so easily made and so simple of construction, that there is no excuse for each road not having a goodly number of them. The first drags were made by splitting a good size log into two equal parts, surfacing the front side and cutting the edge with a sharp ax or adze. These two pieces of logs were tied to- gether rigidly by means of rods and timbers, keeping the two fiat surfaces towards the front. This is how the name Split Log Drag" came to be applied to the road drag. This Split Log Drag, if well made, will last a long time and give just as good service as does the steel drag or any other form of drag.
 | It has been found more con- venient in a great many in- stances to use heavy timbers in- stead of logs and the Highway Department has made plan, calling for two blades of the drag to be made of 4x10 inch timbers 8 feet long, tied together with two or three pieces of 2x8 timb- CT, and bolted with 7-8 inch bolts. These should be spaced i about 2 1-2 feet apart, and can be drawn with double-tree at tached to drag by means of ord mary chain.
 The front of the bottom should be protected by a sheet metal strip of some kind, to prevent the rapid wearing away of the lower edge of the drag. Any car penter can, is a few hours of time, construct as serviceable drag as may be secured.

Laboring men have been clam bring for an eight-hour day and many employers think this an outrage, and that people who toll should do as their forefathers did of old, and begin work before daylight and quit only after dark, winter or summer. Sitting in judgment is not laborlous work. Of course, it requires at tention and acumen, but the strain is not great, and a six hour day or even an eight-hour day for a judge on the bench would not be onerous. The New York judge seems to be a law unto himself in these matters, and he is taking himself too se- riously, while the people suffer. Judges, like other people, should be required to render a reasona- bly adequate service, and, con- sidering salaries they receive, they ought to be willing to dis patch a large amount of work.

 on the other farms in the same county where none of the government instructions were followed it took from eight to ten acres to make a bale of cot ton.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

Expensive Justice.

A New York special to the
 Minneapolis Tribune is authority
 for the statement that in the Tombs, the great New York pris- on, there were confined at that date 731 prisoners awaiting trial for crimes and misdemeanors. The institution is over-croWded, and the conditions existing are unspeakable. There are only 500 cells in which to accommo- date the 731 prisoners, and the result in that people who are confined for trivial offenses are thrown in contact with criminals of the deepest dye and degener- ates of every character. The cause of this congestion is that the judges have taken their an- nual vacations of from one to four months. These judges are paid $17,50O per annum, and when they are holding court they work on an average of two and one-half hours per day. Two judges remained at their posts, and refused to take any vacation, and these are receiving high praise because they exceed the customary limit by holding court on an average of three hours per day. Some of these prisoners have been incarcerated from one to four months. This will not appear long to Memphians, where we have prisoners held in our To- cal jail at times for terms ex- ceeding one year; but it is a seri- ous question in a great city, where criminals are so numerous, and where they must be tried and disposed of in order to furnish an outflow that will make room for the steady inflow. To the ordinary man it will appear that a judge receiving $17,500 per year could afford to devote more than two and one-half hours per day to the service of the public.

The Boil Weevil.

The dreaded boil weevil is los ing it's terrors, and way has been found to minimize it's rav- ages, or put it completely out of business. Acting upon informa- tion gathered by experiment, the department of agriculture is sending out warnings to all far mers in the cotton belt, caution ing them against the spread of this pest. It is also advising them, through field agents, how to destroy and prevent the spread of the insect.
 Destroy the cotton stalk ear ly in October if possible, advises the department. Destroy your stalks even if your less progress sive neighbor does not. It will pay. Clear off and burn all your rubbish on ditch banks and other hibernating places for the wee vii. This should be done early in the fall.
 Do not plant cotton after cot ton but plant your cotton on land that has grown heavy crop of cowpeas, velvet beans, lespedeza or some other legumin- ous crop to supply the land with nitrogen and vegetable matter. Break the land in the fall or ear ly winter that is to be planted to cotton next year.
 'Where sufficient teams and tools are available to blow under and bury the stalks this should by all means be done. Where it is impossible to blow the stalks under they should be uprooted, raked into windrows and allowed to dry for a few days; they should then be burned"
 To prove the value Of destroy ing the cotton stalks, the depart ment conducted experiments in Amite county, Mississippi, last year, and the following results are shown:
 On IF acres where no stalks were destroyed, but where all other instructions of the govern ment were followed, the average yield was 619pounds of seed cot ton per acre. On twenty-eight acres where the stalks were de- stroyed before October 10, and the same cultural methods ap- piled, the average yield per acre was1, ,050 pounds of seed cotton, or a gain of Al pounds of seed
