Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-Chair
man Carter Glass of the house com
mittee ON banking and currency, WIZ

rency bill and fought to retain in the
measure all of its house features, will

coed Representative Underwood as the
democratic leader of the house. Mr.
Underwood will leave the house a!
the end of this congress.
Mr.. Glass has been a member oil
the house for twelve years. AS a
representative of the progressive

AUTOS COLLIDED
WITHOUT SERIOUS
result, However
Two MACHINES CAME HEADON
When One Veered to Avoid
Striking Buggy

Two automobilesfi heavy new Cad
lilac owned by Mr.. Uriah Murphey, and
the Ford car of MIR Macon Dudley,
were seemingly in a very bad tangTe on
Lamar street yesterday, the result o!
an effort upon the part Of Mr.. Murphey
to get away from a buggy which had
run into his car in front Of the Hooks
Pharmacy.
In the collision with the buggy the
negro driver was thrown into the street
but escaped with only a few bruises.
MIR. Murphey veered his car hard t.
the right to get away from the buggy
and thus came in collision with Mr.
Dudley's car, which was proceeding
eastward on Lamar street, towards
Jackson. The headlights upon both
cars were smashed and other lighte;
injuries inflicted, but neither driver
was hurt at all.
The collision attracted large
crowd to the scene until the fact thai
no one had been injured was an,
rounced.

COURTHOUSE and
BANKS CONTINUE
CHRISTMAS REST
ARE CLOSED At IL O'CLOCK
During the YuIetide Little
Doing In City

Americas, seemingly, took rest yes.
terday, following the annual holiday
and the strenuous days of trade activ-
ity preceding. The scene yesterday
was in striking contrast to that pre-
scented during the shopping days, when
streets and stores were damned with
busy, excited buyers. 1t was "the calm
after the storm and was, indeed, well
coined by the overworked merchants
and forces of tired clerks and en-
ployees.
The stores especially those carrying
large holiday ZONES, presented sold
out" appearance. Stocks are depleted
and few If any of the merchants will
AIRY over any considerable line of hot
iday goods. All are thoroughly pleased
with the excellent Christmas bust
ness.
Travelling men who were here during
the several busy days preceding Christ
mas declared that there was thrice the
volume in Americas than in any other
city in the state, south of Macon; q
fact which impressed these observers
of trade conditions. In fact, the holi
day business in Americas this season
was fully up to the expectation of To-
cal merchants, in every particular.
Another pleasing feature was the
fact that so much money was in evil
dence, and fewer goods charged than
in previous holiday seasons, thus re
f1ecting improved business conditions.
The banks are winding up year of
prosperity, and the January statements
soon to be issued, will be most graft
flying. Collections have been very
good, indeed, and the cash deposits at
the five Americas banks are greater
at this time, perhaps, than at any like
period in several years. Local bank
ers, generally, are very optimistic re-
garding business conditions during the
approaching new year.
The banks arc closing at / o'clock,
noon. during the holiday season. The
courthouse is likewise closed at noon
for the present, that the tired officials
there may have needed rest and repose.

Sequel of Sensational Affair
in New York

Monticello, N. Y, Dec. 26.--Miss Ade-
laide Brance, the woman who was
witheMelvin H. Couch, former district
attorney of Sullivan county, when he
died suddenly Sunday morning in his
Office, was given her freedom late yes
terday afternoon, the authorities hav-
ing failed to connect her with the
death OF the man for whom she i'm
INJURED herself for three years.
Though freed now, even of the
charge of petit larceny, on which she
was held pending an investigation Of
the mans death Miss Brance has asked
permission to remain a voluntary pris.
oner for two or three days.
81 cannot face the world now she
said today. II am sick at heart and
sick physically"
Sheriff Kline will permit the woman
to stay long enough to regain her
strength She is destitute and says
she has no place to which she might
CO. Today she expressed the wish to
die and be buried beside the dead man.
Miss Branoe refuses to give any in
formation as to her relatives, saying
she does not wish to bring disgrace
upon them.
1t was learned today that Miss
Brance and Couch had quarreled short
ly. before his death. The woman told
Couch she wished to visit an old-time
friend over the holidays. To this, shs
said, the lawyer would not listen. He
grew excited and Miss Brance fearing
a scene, finally promised she would re-
main with him. A few minutes after
ward the aged man fell over on the
couch. She ran to get physician,
but on her return found the lawyer
dead.

BANKS HURRYING
TO Unite With
RESERVE SYSTEM
-FOUR HUNDRED HAVE APPLIED
New Districts to Be Decided
Shortly

Washington, D. c., Dec. 26.-More
than 400 national banks and trus!
companies, representing every state
and almost every large city in the
country, have applied for membership
in the federal reserve system oil
banks under the new currency law
according to an unofficial estimate
made today by the treasury depart
ment.
Applications have come so fact
that officials have been unable to
keep pace with them, but a record OF
the time when received will be made
today. Banks in New York, Chicago
and Boston have not applied in great
numbers, but Secretary McAdoo be-
lieved today that their applications will
soon be forthcoming.
Mr.. McAdoo and Secretary Hous-
ton, the organization committee Pr
vided for in the law, began hard
work today on plans for the division
CT the country into reserve districts
and the location of reserve banks. An
official announcement of the plan is
expected tomorrow. 1t is probable
that personal inspection will be ma lie
by the two secretaries covering much
of the country.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
called on Secretary McAdoo today to
urge the claims of Atlanta as a seat
for one of the reserve banks.
Among cities from which applica-
tons came today were: Florence, S.
c.; Lancaster, S. c.; Salisbury, NJ c..
Etowah, Tenn; Richmond and Alex
andria, Va, and Dallas and Sherman,

Dr. Oscar Bowling, formerly prom
inent physician of Americas, but for
several years chairman of the state

ring up the druggists of New Orleans,
in conjunction with the state board.

The following special from New Or

New Orleans, La, Dec. 26ADr. Os-
car Bowling and the Louisiana state
board Of health now investigating New
Orleans drug stores, says that some
New Orleans druggists are not only
filing prescriptions improperly, but
are charging enormous prices for
their goods and labor.
AS an illustration it was shown BY
George Taylor, state chemist, that
some druggists charge fifty cents for
q prescription that cost them three
quarters of a cent.
This sort of thing is outrageous
DR.. Bowling said, "and these drug
gists should be exposed and they will
be, just as soon as our investigation
is completed. This will probably not
be before the middle of January
Druggists VIII Be Prosecuted.
1.-THE state board of health has been

Mr.. Taylor has completed Analysing ali

those druggists found to have filled
the prescriptions otherwise than di-
rected will be prosecuted under regu-
lation No. 81 of the food and drug
