From the comments, both written
and verbal, in our neck of the woods,
there are some who have the notion
that the Frankton district is one, if
not the one wealthiest district in the
county. The only way to determine
this is by consulting the assessment
records and getting the facts. The
following figures speak for themselves

RESERVE BOARD
FOR COTTON POOL
Approves in Principle, $3.50,
100000 Loan Fund.
TO TAKE UP DETAILS LATER
Hope Expressed That Banks and Mer-
chants Throughout the Country
Will Subscribe-To Take Care
Of the Surplus Crop.

Washington, D. C.-The Federal Re-
serve Board announced it's approval,
in principle, of the plan for $150,0OO,-
900 loan fund to take care of the sur
plus cotton crop.
Governor Hamlin, of the board, in
letter to Festus ]. Wade, of st. Louis,
one of the plans hackers, said that
while the board could not express it.
self upon details, it was of the opin-
ion that the just administration of
such a fund would benefit those inter
ested and the rest of the nation as
well. He expressed the hope that
banks and merchants would subscribe.
His letter in full is as follows:
"The Federal Reserve Board has
given careful consideration to your
suggestion that a fund of $15O,OOO,O00
be raised by subscription from banks,
trust companies, bankers and mer-
chants for the purpose of rendering
assistance to the cotton growers and
merchants of the United States until
the present abnormal conditions
caused by the European War have
been terminated and normal condi-
tions restored.
81 am directed by the board to state
to you that while it cannot, very natur-
ally, express itself upon the details of
the plan as to personnel of manage
ment, commissions, interest rates, ETC.,
it is of opinion that the raising of such
a fund of the amount indicated, and its
administration justly and fairly, upon
reasonable terms and conditions,
would go far towards the restoration
of normal conditions, and would re-
dound to the benefit not only of those
interested in the production, move
ment and manufacturing of cotton, but
as well to the entire people of the
country.
I'VE note with qualification your as
surance that a large number of South
ern banks and commercial firms have
already signifed their willingness to
contribute to such a fund, and your
expression of confidence that the entire
amount will be promptly subscribed.
THE problem involved is not local
it is national, and, as well, interna-
tional in it's scope and importance, and
we venture to express the hope that
subscriptions to such a fund will be
made by banks, trust companies and
merchants throughout the country"

IN BATTLE At 40
MILES, AN HOUR
Two of Five Supposed Thieves
Swept From Cars.
ATOP A FAST TRAIN
Men On Freight Hit Overhead Bridge.
Trains On Lackawanna Had Been
Robbed Recently, So They
Were Guarded.

Paterson, N. jim an attempt to
rob fast freight train on the Lacka-
wanna Railroad two men were killed.
Three other members of the gang of
five escaped when detectives caused
the train to slow down in an effort
to affect their capture.
The freight train leaves Hoboken
nightly and few stops are made, as
it's cargo is principally valuable silk
bound for mills in Pennsylvania. The
cars have been entered and robbed
several times recently and railroad
detectives were assigned to guard it.
When the train swung out on the main
line at the west end of the Bergen
tunnel the detectives began to search
the cars. They were nearing the rear
and the train had worked up to a
speed of more than 40 miles an houl
when the detectives came upon five
men. They were all well-dressed and
evidently not tramps.
Seeing the detectives the gang
broke and ran toward the rear end
of the train. They failed to see an
overhead bridge in their haste and, as
the train swept under, two of them
were hurled off to the ground. The
other three and the detectives ducked
in time. The detectives signaled for
the train to stop, and as it slowed
down the three robbers jumped from
the car and escaped.
The two bodies were picked up and
brought to the morgue at Paterson.

Disposition Of a Former Secretary
Admitting Theft - Members OF
Congress Greatly Interested
In the Outcome.

Wilmington Del.-An action of the
government against the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal Company to re-
cover S5O,187.5O in dividends on stock
in the concern owned by the govern
ment, and which dividends were stolen
by one-time officers Of the company,
was begun in the United States Dis
trict Court here.
The thefts were committed in 1874,
1875 and 1876, but the government
claims interest only from November
II, 1911.
A disposition was presented from
the one-time secretary of the company,
in which he admitted having stolen
the dividends with the then treasurer.
This will be an important document in
the case. Prior to the misappropria-
ton of the dividends the two men
fraudulently issued bonds of the canal
company to the extent of 100000. The
government bought $4,000 shares of
stock of the canal company for $780,
