81. 80, 900 and Attorney General Estes
said that it was possible that all OF the
directors would be indicted The di-

Raine was arrested at his palatial
home and expressed his willingness 10
go to Jail. He WINGED when he saw
the crowd about the doors of the bank.
Jail will be my safest retreat" he
said.
There were many angry mutterings
among the depositors al sight OF the
defaulter. and for time an attempt at
violence was feared
Raine's manipulation Of the banks
funds consisted principally in carry
inc his personal checks as cash. He
dealt in the cotton market through
New York brokers, it is said. When
pressure was brought to bear for pay
ment Of his checks he would substir

~ THE
\IORHAM
COMPANY
SilpersmithS

A recent customer IN
Gorham's Fifth Avenue
store insisted upon see
ing the Corham trade
mark on every piece OF
silver he bought.
When a curious sales
man inquired the reason
why, the customer re-
piled:
Because my father al
ways taught me to look
for Gorham's Lion, An
Choir and c. when buy
ing silver.
This incident illus
trates the implicit reli-
ance which those who
have known Gorham' S
longest place upon the
Gorham imprint. With
these old friends Of Cor
ham S to question the
quality Of an article
stamped with the Cor
ham trademark is tanta-
mount to questioning tn
value Of a $40 gold piece.
The trademark Of an
establishment like Cor
ham s means something.
Placed on a piece Of sill
yer it is like a signature
on {, gold bond. 1t is the
guarantee of a company
with a record Of nearly
100 years Of honorable
dealing that the article so
stamped is of the highest
workmanship and quail
ity.
The Gorham trade
mark is almost as old as
the company itself. Of
course, its money value Is
tremendous, but the Cor
ham Company treas
ures far more than any
intrinsic value which this
trademark may possess
the trust and confidence
it inspires all over Amer
lea.
The Gorham manage
ment feel that this trade
mark fixes a standard
which every officer I'd
employee Of the Gorham
Company must live up
to. When that mark is
stamped upon an article
it is the contract of the
Corham Company with
the purchaser that that
article is precisely what it
is represented to be.

The argument advanced is that the bill

Senator's constituents are concerned, they
are not affected. unless it may he by max

Thus far, according 10 the stories told

This is particularly true in the boroughs

Admitted Specializing.

Admitted Specializing.
The cashier supposed that Raine sent
the draft TO New York and charged the
New York bank up with that amount
on the books of the Mercantile Bank.
Raine admitted TO his friends and "a
the bank directors and the representa-
tiyes Of the American Exchange Ma
tional Bank, OF New York, when con-
fronted with the shortage that ne had
used the money in specializing In the
cotton market. He said that he never
carried more than 10000 bales on mar
gin at any one time. and that he was
carrying that number OF bales when
the condition OF the bank was discov-
cred.
He is said 10 have bought cotton for
a rise on the New York market, having
dealt recently in the March. May and
July options His dealings are said
TO have been through one or more
Memphis commission houses, and on
some occasions he bought in Liverpool
as well as in New York.
bankers discovered the conditions If
the bank Raine asked them for two
weeks in which TO recover his losses,
I'm the belief that the market would
by that time enable him to do so. The
New York bankers however. refused
and took the matter up az once with
the bank directors, with the result that
the bank vas closed AZ once.
The new banAing act. which became
effective on January |. makes directors
in banking institutions liable for short
age brought about through manipula =
tions OF bank officials. II does not APP
ply. however. 10 banks chartered before
then. Under this Interpretation direc-
tors in the Mercantile Bank are not
liable for losses which Raine asserts re-
suited from his personal manipulations.

He was arrested on "A bench warrant

sometimes with success and sometimes
losing money. After he had lost all

After the Sentinel published

time ago, it's editor conceived
the idea that it would be Il good
stroke, while the figures were
available, to use them against
the present democratic state adj
ministration. 1t consequently
threw together about Il column
of figures and words IN last
weeks issue; and according to
the quantity of language and fig
ures brought into requisition,
it would have all irrefutable case.
After the figures, however. have
all been marshaled, the fact re-
mains that under republican
rule the state debt crept up to
nearly $500 per capita, and that
under democratic guidance 1t
has been cut down nearly one
half.
