JACKSON COMING
TO The FRONT.

The past week spent a few days
at Sylvia and in the surrounding
country. So some notes from that
section may be of interest to your
readers.
OF course l heard a good bit
about the removal of the court |
house from Webster to that point.
The people are enthusiastic over
the proposed removal and look sup
on it as a forward step for Jackson
County. Even those who opposed
it are calmly accepting the situa-
ton as it is, which should always
be the case when the majority is so
large as two to one as was about
the case in the above election.
Now that the removal is to be
made. no effort will be spared to
push things to a completion. The
commissioners, eight out of nine
being present, to whom were nam
ed in the act, met Saturday and Sc
lected the beautiful site overlooking
Main street and close in the busi-
ness section. They have also Sc
lected their architect and within
thirty days hope to have plans
and specifications complete.
But the occasion of far more en-
thusiasm and of a general looking
forward to better thingsis the pros
pect for better roads. Sylvia has
issued $4,000, Cullowhee $4,000
and Dillsboro $4,000 in bonds,
making a total bond issue of $685.
900 on the part of these three town
ships for road improvement. A
government expert has already
come down and gone over the stu
alton with the authorities. AS the
result of the surveys already made
distances and several steep grades,
eliminated. Few counties have
suffered more than Jackson for the
want of good roads and so the
people of that section may well
look forward to a greater day. One
of the blessings that better roads
will bring will be rural free delivery
of which that county has been de-
prived all this while simply on &C
, count of it's roads.
CULLOWHEE NORMAL.
l had the pleasure of spending
one night at the CulloWhee Norma
and Industrial school, being mos
delightfully."- entertained in the homs
of Kew. L. B. Abernethy, who spen
several years at Canton, to which
place both he and his family art
still very warmly attached. The
board OF Trustees had just helC
their annual meeting the day wa
there and to the delight of ever,
one had reelected all the old teach
ers. This is the strongest possibl
testimonial to the spirit of harmon,
and efficient work that character
zed the school the past year nnde
what was practically a complet
reorganization.
1t was my good fortune in walk

tance of about ten miles by way Q

of the students of this school, som

 For two directors at large. John Brown, John Hohl. J. F. Albright, J. E. GladieuX, L. F. Weyan, Ben Landis-
 The meeting was conducted under the new bylaws of the club. An old time club member. who has seen ser vice with a number of F. A. M. organ iZations. says that the present govern ing rules of the Phoenix club embody the good points of a dozen American clubs, and very few of the objection able features. The constitution and bylaws are designed for very much larger club than the Phoenix club at present. This is a wise provision, for it permits of liberal expansion along broad modern lines There is rapidly forming a field for just such an organ ization.
 Following the election and the set ting down to business, the club will start a strong campaign for members. Of the two hundred and fifty motor cyclists living within the city of Phoe- nix. il will be possible to get a large proportion in the club. At present the club numbers about l05 members.
 A committee is now working on the proposition of club rooms. Others are planning big work for the clubs inn mediate future.
 Incidentally: Between now and a week from now, there will be some tall hustIing for the candidates. The pre- Sence of a live presidential campaign in the very midst of the club is bound to bring il before the motorcycIsts and will no doubt bring many new members into the club As the rules have it, no one can be in the club officially unless his two bits Der month has been paid. and this will have the effect of straightening out the treasurer's books

 The following analysis presents tn ,etalla cc tie new law without ad- horin& closely t. the technical djvi- sion or language of the measure:
 At the head of the system VIII stand federal reserve board at Nashineton appointed by the presi- dent and to consist of the seoretgrz uc the treasury and six other mem hevs Two of these shall be cNrart nankrr~ bai none shah have banl-ne affiliations ot own bank stock during their service. This board will cxer- else general control over the entire e.Stcm.
 The temporary organization com :litt"e' of the federal reserve board. rIn select from eight to twelve cities where regional reserve banks shall bc located and will divide the entire country geographically with these cities as th" centers of districts All national banks in district will be :rouired to subscribe for the stock "i the regional reserve bank in that district and to keep a portion of their deserves.
 Local banks will be known as member banks because they will own the stock of the regional reserve bank of their district. Each member l'ank will be required to take cap ital stock of the regional reserve bank. equal to six per cent of the Wember banks capital and surplus The capital of the regional bank will increase or decrease so that il always represents six per cent of the com l,ined capital and surplus of all the banks of the district that have joined the system.
 National banks are compelled to join and state banks are permitted to if they bring their reserve TO 4u:rements u2 to the standard set for national banks and submit to national examinations
 Public ownership of the stock Of the regional reserve banks is permit ted only in ease enough banks do not join in any district to provide cap ital stock of $3.00O. 900. Tn such event the public may purchase the stock in quantities limited to $10.000 for each ipdividual but the voting of this stock will he placed in the hands of government representatives on tho board of directors of the regional re serve bank

banks, not with the public, except that certain open market opera tens," such as the purchase ana sale O. gold. government or municipal bonds and certain forms of bills of exchange are permitted These banks will make their earnings from the l. ans made to member banks and from the purchase and sale of bonds and foreign and domestic bills ot lading.
 Member banks will be compelled to put up in cash only one-half of their subscription to the capital of the new banks: the remainder can b. called for 1T needed by the regional bank. Dividends of six per cent will be paid on this stock to the member banks and the stock will be non taxable After these dividends have been paid. one-half of the surplus or the earnings goes to create a regional surplus fund and when this has cached forty per cent of the region si banks paid in capital, these earn Ings are to go into the United States treasufN. The remainder of the net earnings are to bt divided between the payment of a United States fran chise tax and the creation of q fund tG guarantee the payment of deposi- tors in member banks that may fail
 With the machinery thus created for u new banking system that is supplementary to the commercial banks of the country, the law pro- Nidrs for a general transfer of part of the bank reserves to these 'reser- voiI' banks In order not to disturb business conditions or to withdraw too suddenly the heavy deposits of
  law provides that two years may be consumed in shifting these balances and that if necessary part of the leselves transferred to the regional banks may consist of commercial paper.
 The amount of reserve required tIom every bank under the new law and the place where it must be kept gre as follows:
 Country banks: Total reserve re- quired. r per cent of demand de- Tcsits and five per cent of time de posits. Four-twelfths must be held in the banks own vaults; two tWelfths in the regional reserve bank for the first six months, increasing one-twelfth each six months until it reaches five tweIfths After two years the remaining three-tWelfths of the l country banks vaults or in the re- gional reserve bank.
 Reserve city banks: Total reserve required. 15 per cent demand and five Der cent of time deposits. Six -fif- teenths must be kept in the banks own Vaults fifteenths in the regional reserve bank for the first six months, including one-fifteenth each six months until it teaches six fifteenths After two years, the re maining three fifteenths of the re- serve must be kept either in the banks own vaults or in the regional reserve bank.

In times of sudden financial demands when banks have leaned up to the full limit or tEcir resources, these resolves furnish little relief, because if they are paid ont to meet demands. the banks are left l in a precarious condition
 The basic principle of the new law is to get these reserve funds out into circulation when necessary without !cssening the safety of any bank: and to provide a place to which local banks may rush in a crisis and get cash for the prime commercial pa per they held in their vaults
 This is to be accomplished through 2 chain of regional reserve banks or | reservoirs of reserves" in which all banks shall deposit a stated part of the money they are required to hold as reserves.
