This paper is not so welded to any
particular draft of Banking reform
law, but is an advocate of both the
travelling auditor and state guaran-
tee provisions, believing that if the
state has power to create banking
corporations and thus encourage the
people to put their money in them it
should exercise the power to check
them up occasional y without notice:
a power which the heaviest deposi-
tor is impotent to EXERCISE Then
the guarantee law modelled after the
BRYAN statute adopted by Oklahoma
would reimburse the depOsitors in
case of a failure and rehabiliate the
bank, saving the situation and thus
avoiding that community embarrass-
ment OF being marked by the CON-
mercial world for years to come as a
banking graveyard. Either Cover
nor Brewer or Senator Norwood
should, however receive, sufficient
enough positive commitments from
the Legislators to insure the passage
of some measure which will meet the
demands, before d call should be
made, If that be within the guberna-
torial purvieW just now. If such
spt clal session should be called we
trust that it will cause no alarm and
precipitate no runs on banks which
are in good solvent condition as we
believe most of them to be ia this
state, for the object of such call will
but be protection and should thus
inspire confidence in all orr state f..
nancial institutions.

An Era of Preventive Health Measures
Satte Journal, JACKSON.

Satte Journal, Jackson.
Changes are coming right quick
these days. Time was when the
mosquito, the fly and other disease
transporting insects were presumed
to be given US for some good useful
purpose, and were allowed unmolest-
ed to hand the crepe on thousands of
doors yearly in Mississippi that
could have been prevented by that
simple swatting process only recent
lv adopted. The rat was supposed
to be all right as long as he didn t
get the cheese or the chickens. Dis
case came in the air and good sup
ply of quinine and calomel was wait
ing to combat it. 1t that failed
close the shutters.
But prevention is the slogan now.
We are beginning to pay our doctors
on the Chinese plan, and we can t
employ too many OF them. If the
Legislature does the right thing by
the State Board of Health-an it is
just to assume that it william APP
preparation that will make other
states sit up and take notice will be
forthcoming

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BOOM DAYS IN IOWA.
81 a. W. MACY.

The tide vt prosperity did not
set ! toward Iowa I'LL about
1854. For some years rrevIous
to that the "calIfornIa fever
had ragged violently, and all the
emigration talk was Of gold and
silver and sudden riches. But
when the reaction came people
turned their attention to the rich
prairIes Of tho Middle West,
which afforded q surer II loss
dazzling prospect Of prosperity.
In one month 1873 enl0rant
wagons passed through Peoria,
ILL.,, en- rout4 Tor new homes In
the Hawkeye state. On every I'M
portant highway these "pral-
rie schooners" might 70 seen
creeping slowly westward. In
one day two river steamers
landed more than 600 future
lowans at St Louis. In Dav.
export 800 new dwelling houses
were erected In one season.
New towns and cities sprang
up In abundance, and some were
"IaId out" whose sites are now
marked. by waving fields OF
wheat and corn. Railroads w re
projected In all directions. The
national government granted
public lands for four roads
across the state from east to
west. But with aucli tremen-
dous food OF emigration the cour-
try filed up rapidly, and
coon the advance tidal wave
crossed The Missouri Into q now
EIdorado, Nebraska.

Give The Farm Bow And Girls A Chance

Meridian Star.
If money could be borrowed by the
farmer from his local bank at 4 per
cent interest he would obtain suff-
Gent funds to run himself until he
sold his crop, withouG having to gay
a heavy tax for the accommodation
and he would be benefited thereby to
that extent, while the bank would,
we suspect, make more money
through making loans and having
them redeemed at a shorter period
of time. In other words, the bank
would, we feel certain, find quick
sales and small profits quite as prof
liable as have the great mercantile
houses who have adopted this policy.
Better still, the plan adopted by
the Grenada banker would prove a
strong inducement to farmers to
build better homes, provide at least,
some of the luxuries of city jewellers
and make country life more ENJOYABLE
to wife and children, thereby Undue
ing the latter to remain on the farm
when they grow to an age where
they have a desire to go out for

put forth by Mr.. Thomas and hope
it will be adopted throughout the
state and the south. if not through

DECISION N INJUNCTION
IS ANTICIPATED SOON
49,
Judge Hughes Expected to Rule Some Tine
Next Week On Application for Order
Restraining Sale Of Water and
Light Bonds.

. Judge Martin Hughes of Hibbing
is expected to make an order some
time during the next week on ten
days ON the application of Joseph
Backus for an order retaining the
sale by the city council of the city
of Virginia of the bonds issued for
the urchase of the water and light
plant.
Arnold & Pickering, attorneys. for
the plaintiff, submitted briefs in
the matter Tuesday and City At
[torney Morgan and L. C. Harris,
who represent the city will file
briefs in answer Friday.
There is general interest in the
outcome. Should the application
for a restraining order be denied
the litigation undertaken to stay
the sale of the bonds may be end
ed. Should a temporary restrain
ing order issue, there will be a
hearing ON a permanent injunction
and in either case an appeal is
probable. The present indications
seem to be that the matter will be
long drawn out and the outlook for
an early settlement of the issue
upon which there, is a pronounce
ed division of local sentiment is
not encouraging.

Queer Progress.

Anderson, May 27.-A cyclone of
gigantic proportion and revolving at
a terrific rate of speed, but travelling
forward slowly, swooped down on the
town of Honea Path, this county,
about 1870 o'clock this Afternoon, do
ing considerable damage. Luckily
there were no fatalities SO far as can
be learned tonight. Horea Path is
completely cut off from wiro COM
munication tonight. Passengers ar
irving here on the interurban from
Greenwood at 2:3O o'clock who
watched the cyclone as it advanced
on Honea Path from a point two
miles south of the town say that the
cyclone in it's usual funnel shape
came from the direction just south
of the city of Anderson. 1t touched
the ground for the first time in the
business district of Honea Path,
smashing plate glass fronts in the
stores and doing other damage. One
side of the brick store room occupied
by the Latimer Clothing company
was blown out. The steeple and roof
of the Baptist church were partially
demolished. The seed and outhouses
of the oil mill were turned over, as
were the smokestacks of the mills.
Many small houses in the town were
blown down.
Bricks and sticks were flying in
the air and one man, lineman of the
interurban, was hit in the side, caus-
ing considerable pain. One or two
automobiles and other vehicles were
overturned, throwing the occupants
out and causing some injuries.
The terra Gotta roofing of the in
terurban passenger station was bad
ly damaged, while the roof on one
side of the frame warehouse Of this
road was practically destroyed. This
damage seemed to have been
wrought as an afterthought by the
cyclone.
After the cyclone had passed over
this building gust of wind forming
suction of great strength reached
back and literally sucked a hole at
least 20 feet square in the roof. 1t
looked as if projectile had been
fired through the roof from the in
side.
Several freaks are reported. A
horse was blown against a box car
on the interurban yards and was in.
stantly killed. A box car left on a
