u. w. DuyaH, of Cheraw, to Run for
Lieutentnt Goyernor2 Report Reach.
es es1COlumbia.
Columbia, April 14-That Mr.. e.
walker Duvall, of Cheraw, may enter
the race for Lieutant Governor is the
information brought to Columbia to-
day 1t was stated that strong pres
sure Is being brought to bear on Mr..
'Duvall to run and 1t is said that he is
giving consideration to the matter. Mr..
Duvall ran against Lieutenant Cover
nor G. A. Smith four years ago and
polled fine vote. He Is the head of
one Of the largest business concerns in
Chesterfield county and is we'll known
throughout the state. Political circles
concede that if Mr.. Duvall enters the
race for Lieuteant Governor he will
be most formidable opponent.
Representative George w. Dick, of
Sumter the chairman OF the ways and
means committee Of the House, was
here today attending q meeting of the
sinking fund commission. Dr. Dick is
being urged to stand for reelection
to the House so that his friends can
put him up for Speaker, and lie is
being urged also to enter the race for
the State Senate from Sumter coun-
ty, and If he should go in against Sen
ator John H. Clifton and Representa-
tive r. d. Epps, the Sumtertes will
q
from. DR.. Dick would not say today
what he would do, in fact, he gave the
impression that he was undecided.
Senator y. l.. Hardin, of Chester,
the chairman of the finance commit
tee of the Senate ana President pro
tenn of that body, was here today, also,
In attendance on the sinking fund
commission meeting. Senator Hardin
has been urged to run for Lieutenant
Governor, but it is probable that he
VIII stand for reelection to the Sen
ate from Chester, a position he has
tricc been elected to without oppo-
sition.
Representatives J. A. Hunter, of
Bamberg, and J. Howard Moore, O,
Abbcvillc, are already announced can
didatcs for Lieutenant Governor. For
mer State Senator B. Frank Kelley, of
Bishopville, was the first to announce
for lieutenant governor, and when he
was IN Columbia recently he said that
he was still running and expected to
be elected.
Another visitor here today was
Representative j. j. Evans Of Marl-
boro county, who was passing through
eli route to Clemson college, to attend
meeting OF the board Of trustees,
Of which he is a mcmber, having been
elected at the last session Of the gcn-
cral assembly. Mr. Evans is running
for the State senate from Marlboro
county, and this morning expressed
his confidence that he would be sue
cessful. He is opposed by Col. j. n.
Drake and Mr. Jeff Edens

THRIFTY vERMoNTERs
They Added 1892 ,73O.e0 To Savings
Deposits Last Year

Frank C. Williams of Newport,
hank commissioner of Vermont, in
the report which he has prepared for
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1914-09-23

This increase is divided as follows:
The 81 mutual savings banks nave
increased $4,000, 221.64 in deposits,
and the Sc savings banks and trus,
companies have increased S2,9235O
SO in deposits for the year. The
number OF depositors in all the banks
has increased IT'S; the number OF
Vermont depositors has increased G.,
447 and the nonresident depositors
has increased 731. The amount OF
deposits by residents OF Vermont has
increased $4,3S5,75S. and the de
posits by non-residents have inereas
cd $606,97210. The number of de
positors having more than $4,000 each
of deposits has increased 1851 and
The amount Of such deposits has in.
creased $i,S46,25S.70. The state
banks have paid to the state of Yer
mont in taxes during the year, $62S,
6lG.02, being an increase over the
previous year of S51,237.S2 Tie
banks have paid depositors in inter
est during the year, SS,25OOii.95. be
ing an Increase of 1921 ,sOgi5 ovt.
the previous year
Dividends to stockholders in trust
companies have increased $l2,o51 40
as against decrease OF the previous
year. of s30,05S.25. The rate OF sur
plus to dupositors has increased .G05i
over the previous year. Nineteen of
the mutual savings banks paid dcpos
itors mt the rae of per cent per an
mum on deposits, and two paid 81.
per cent per annum. Two trust com
panies have no deposits. Thirty.one
trust companies paid 4 per cent per
annum on savings deposits. one paid
AZ per cent per annum, one paid AZ
per cent and one paid 39s per cent
on deposits.
The ratio of surplus to deposits
shows a healthy increase this year
although it has not reached the point
set by the commissioner as the goal
which he urged tho banks for, name
ly, 10 per cent, but an examination OF
the reports of banking departments
OF the other states shows that the
banks of Vermont, taken as a whole
are not cxcelled in percentage of sur
plus. by the banks of sister states.
The amount of taxes paid the state
of Vermont upon deposits by the
banks the past year. is over 5000, 600
an increase of over $4,000 over the
previous year, and the average de
post OF resident depositors is s421.9G,
This large amount in taxes is collect
ed. very largely. upon the small saw.

rwENry-rovR FOOT ALLIGATOR
DeVoured Thirty People Before Be-
ing Captured

With other white companions,
writes Paul Drevy in the October
Wide World Magazine, have often
plunged into the waters of the Tuyra,
a fairly large river which flows into
the Gulf OF Panama after having trav-
ersed immense stretches OF impenet-
rable forests. Regularly ascore or
so of alligators assisted at our gamb-
OILS, at a distance of thirty or forty
yards, and we came to look upon
them as quite harmless.
After an absence of two years | re-
turned and in two neighboring VII
lagos found the inhabitants terrified
No one dared to go near the river at
nightfall: no one ventured, even in
bread daylight, to cross the stream
in the narrow canoes which are used
by the natives to carry bananas and
vegetables from their plantations.
The cause OF this terror, ] discoy-
cred, was an alligator that had de-
voured thriyt persons in less than two
months. surprising one on the river
bank, and literally swapping others
out of their canoes. Thirty people
and the two villages together only
numbered two hundred and fifty
soulsi
After a series OF fruitless attempts,
we ended in capturing the brute with
a baited hook, an enormous affair, to
which we fastened half pig! The
creature was close on twenty-four
feet long. He was so old that sea
weed and mosses we're growing be-
tween his scales, and he presented
the appearance OF 4 tree-trunk that
had been "A long time submerged. He
was, we estimated, moro than a hun
dred years old.
Statistics issued every year by
the Indian Government, but which
hitherto escaped the serious attention
of the daily papers. have recently
Mortified the reading public In India
alone in 1911 seven hundred and six
ty seven persons were devoured by
tigers, and the number Of human be-
ings killed by snake-bite and the teeth
and claws of various other wild
beasts reaches the dreadful total OF
twenty-six thousand two hundred and
forty two victims.
If one adds up the figures for the
last ten years the total arrived at is
still more impressive; from 1902 tc
1911 the population OF India paid to
beasts and reptiles monrnful trib
ute of two hundred and forty-three
thousand three hundred and fourteen
human lives! The same dreadful
statistics add that during the these
ten years carnivora and snakes killed
over a million head OF cattle.-From

WIRELESS PUZZLE
NEARING SOLUTION
President Epects to Give Answer
to Germany's Protest With
in TWenty-four Hours.

President Wilson expects TO straighten
out within the next twenty-four hours
the vexatious problem presented by the
German protest against censorship over
its New Jersey wireless station unless
the Atlantic cables to England and
France are censored
The President is anxious to present an
absolutely impartial decision of the
question. and for this reason he is walt
ing to hear from the greatest authori-
ties 20 be found within the Govern
mental service. He has asked for opin-
ions from the Department of Justice
as well as the authorities on interns-
tional law in the State Department.
These will receive careful considera-
ton.
The President intimated 10 callers to-
day that the problem is not one that
can be settled on presidents. II in
wolves new features of undeveloped in
ternationaI law. as well as the pro-
cedures OF old, and IL may hinge upon
the statement that the wireless sta =
tons in America have a eater range
than those in Europe, and that Ameri-
ca cannot be reached from an European
station. II Is believed that the fact
that wireless has a range eastward OF
only half the ocean may effect the de-
ciSion.
