The President says nothing as 10
whether such an Investigation would be
open 10 the public or behind closed doors.
Mr.. Wilson'S statement was interpreted
here as merely an efroN to avoid meeting
the ISSUE squarely and AN attempt tn
appease public sentiment by Offering a
harmless and ineffective substitute. Mr..
Gardner quickly characterized the Presi-
dents statement as an EFFORT to 'chIuro-
form the resolution.
While President Wilson and Mr.. Gard
ner were engaging In skirmish OF words
resolutions and bills We're being offered
on the floors Of both houses which at
test the grea' interest that has been
aroused by the national defence agita-
ton.

several bills Of u similar character were
introduced. among them being measures

T1c National Bank OF NeWberry has

reserve djstric; located at Ricn-

Ger TO hold their CHARTERS must be-
come stockholders in these regional
banks at the amount OF six per cent. o.
t0eir capital and surplus. The
Newberry National Bank took
$500 of the STICK. In order
10 do this tie bank will pass
Up the semi-annual dividend a, his
Tine. The capital stock is 100000
and the surplus was something over
>3J 800 and after taking the stock re-
CURED the surplus and undivided pro-
fits remain about $4,000.
The Nat,inal is getting on nicely
and is in better condition than it has
been for several years, due to con-
seryative and wise management, and
the deposits at this time are some
$4,000 in excess of what taey were
year ago, and the amount OF money
borrowed is $4,000 less than at the
same time year ago.
The advantage, or it might be said,
one OF the advantages of membership
in the regional bank is that the Natio-
nal Bank may now loan money direct
on farm lands and on five years time,
thus enabling any farmer to take up
pressing mortgages that he might have
on his farm and give him five years
in which to pay it.
