New York Sun Professionally refers to
the First National Bank OF Richmond
as "Mr. Williams's bank" proof OF
the untruth OF the statement can
easily bc produced. When 1t says
that on the board OF directors OF that
! bank there is sufficient representa-
! ton OF tho Williams family to see
( that the family interests are well talk
en- care Of" it Is only necessary to
point out that not member of John
SHELTON Williams's family Is repre-
scented on the board Of directors OF
that bank.
When the Sun declares, however,
that "the First National Bank got
eighty-cight of the correspondent
banks as its share" Of the reserve
accounts when Richmond was made
Il reserve city. fiat denial must give
way TO explanation. The statement
is too cleVorly yelled with truth to
be disposed OF SO easily. The truth
is his: Niuety-eieh t-not eighty
eight Southern banks had money on
deposit in tho First National Bank
through the efforts OF the officials Of
the something with which Mr.
Williams could have had nothing to
do. had he been so inclined The old
banking laws. under which the coun-
try is still doing business. regards;
deposits iii reserve city banks as a
part of the legal reserves or the de-
posting banks. When Richmond was
made Il reserve city under the pres
cut law the Southern banks certi-
fed their deposits in Richmond
banks as part Of their reserve de
posts. That is all. The selection
.ot Richmond as a reserve city did
not give the First National Bank
those deposits 1t already had them
Their certillcation rs a part OF the
REQUIRED reserve OF the correspon-
dents was merely a legal formality
.oi no advantage To the First National
Bank.
The Sun has been advised OF these
and other crrors-many of which II
knew To he errors and nil OF which
II could have discovered to be errors
had il not been more concerned with
attacks on Mr.. Williams than on ac-
CuraCy in its news. Whether or not
correction Will be, made remains to
be seen. II Is too much 10 hope,
however. that other untrue charges
against Mr. Williams will not he
made in the future.

She Darkened Her
Gray Hair
A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her
Gray Hair and Stimulated Its
Growth by a Simple
Home Process.
She Tells How She Did It.

A we'll known resident of Kansas
City Mo who darkened her gray
hair by a simple home process, made
the following statement: ANY lady
or gentleman can darken their gray
or faded hair, stimulate its growth
and make il soft and glossy with
this simple recipe. which they can
mix at home: TO half pint of water
add / OF. Of bay rum, / small box
of Barbo Compound and a o. Of
glycerine. These ingredients can be
purchased at any drug store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair every
other day until the gray hair is
darkened sufficiently, then every two
weeks This mixture relieves scalp
troubles and II excellent for dardruff
and falling hair 1t does not stain
the scalp. is not sticky or greasy and
does not rub off. 1t will make a
gray-naired person look 10 to 20
years younger.
