WHERE 4 BANKING Law OUGHT TO
Be RIGID.
tvicksburg Herald)

AAbout every recent bank failure
in this state and Louisiana has re-
fected on bank directors; not on
their integrity, but on their custom
airy inattention to bank affairs, or of
\ taking for granted that they are all
right on the word of the officials
Immediately in charge. How bank
directors should interpret their func-
tons, or what the public thinks
about it, is exemplified in the petit
ton of q hundred depositors of the
defunct Mercantile Bank of Men,
phis, asking the judge and the pros
ecuting attOrneyto have the grand
jury Investigate testimony that
might lead TO the prosecuting of all
directors of the bank, for the fail
ure, involving more than sl,1OO,-
OOO."
The depositors' position only al
leges that which was in the mind of
every one who read the story of the
wreck of this million dollar treasure
ship. That from the circumstances
and notorious facts, the directors
must have had knowledge of Raine's
cotton speculations and also of the
condition Of the bank" 1t asserts
that If the directors did not know
the banks books had not been aud
tied for two years they were guilty
Of criminal negligence" The press
account of this petition recites an
other circumstance, somewhat SIM
liar to a report incident to the fail
ure Of the Natchez bank, that calls
for investigation. This is a rumor
that certain favored depositors re-
oeived advance information of the
condition of the bank, and were able
to withdraw their funds before the
crash came.
The lesson of this, and Of so many
other recent failures, is that the du-
ties and the responsibilities of direc-
tors should be so clearly defined that
they must be taken seriously. The |
invariable incident of the broken
bank, Of the neglect and carelessness
of directors, which 80 embitter the
depositon, should be prevented 80 far
Is possible. In this Memphis case,
the violation Of trust and confidence
in retaining at the head of the bank
, notorious and reckless cotton fu-
lures gambler. seems without justifi-
,ation or excuse. 1t has been 60 flag
ant a. to shake the sense of security

Planting.

There are many satisfactory corn plant
ers on the market, but any one ueed
should be regulated before taking to the
field for use to insure proper spacing snd
regularity Of planting the types Of kerr
nels you have. The proper depth to plant
will depend on texture Of the soil, moist
ure and temperature. II conditions are
favorable 3 inches deep is good. Deeper
than 4 inches will weaken the plants.
Where land is well drained corn may be
planted in burrows so that after cultiva-
ton the roots will be 6 inches below the
surface. In loose sandy soils it may be
planted deeper than in clay soils, ss the
soils allow better circulation Of air,
which is essential for root growth.

Continue what you are and where you
are and you are what and where you will
always be. The world of wage-earners is
a world of hopers, wishers and LEGISLATORS
held down by foolish doubts and empty
fears. Endless thousands OF bright, fine
fellows whose wish bone is where their
back bone ought to be, are excusably
afraid, hating, timid, clinging with the
drowning man grasp to their slender sal
aries, because they think business is a
mystery and they can never learn to
transact it.
You must be more, have more and do
more in this life or you will always be
seeing other men that are better dressed
getting more out of life, more of this
worlds enjoyments and comforts than
you. We can point you to hundreds Of
young men and women no smarter than
you that are now successfully and happily
engaged in business Of their own, he
cause they attended our institution, took a
course of book keeping and shorthand or
business administration and finance, and
prepared themselves to go into the bust
ness office and work along with trained
men and become masters of the art of
doing business.
Business is not happy-go-lucky, hap
hazard sort Of thing. If you understand
it thoroughly, you are sure to succeed. II
you have never been trained, it is all left
to luck and guess work.

the unsolicited testimonials from many of
our former students who are today dem

a deep burning, intense iron resolve of
his Utmost being. Read our catalog care
fully, then investigate its contents. We

GOOD TIMES AuEAD.

The following item of news from the
Chattanooga (Tenn.) Times is of special
interest to this section where realty values
have lowered 80 much i'm the past several
years. The same was said 10 be true of
the East Tennessee country some years
ago when crop failures became prevalent
almost all over that section of Tennessee,
but the cycle of bad years seem to have
passed and good times have come again
to that country, which is now RAPIDLY re-
covering its own by an influx of sturdy
farmers from Virginia, who bring with
them the progressive spirit of their ances-
try.
What is true of East Tennessee applies
with equal force to Tensas parish. The
hand OF adversely has been laid upon us
the past few years and we have suffered
the awful visitation, We won't say without
complaint, but certainly with a brave
spirit, and have stood, as it were, with
our faces to the rain, looking longingly
for the silver lining to appear on the no.
rizon of the future.
We believe it is now Enthusiastically dis
tinct to all who will earnestly look for it.,
and we are confirmed in our belief that
the lean years have passed into history
and prosperity awaits all who will dill
gently seek it.
We believe in the Tensas people, their
genius, their brain and their Drawn. We
believe in their honesty, their integrity
and dependability. We believe that moth
ing can stand in the way of their COM
mercial advancement and prosperity.
We believe that what are termed "times
OF business depression" are but periods
OF preparation for greater and more pro-
nounced commercial successes.
The following is the clipping referred
to:
Bristol, Tenn.-The Interstate Land
Co., Of Bristol, which has in recent
months sold many valuable farms in East
Tennessee, has succeeded in locating
number OF thrifty Virginia farmers in the
Sweetwater valley. Deals closed by this

Is. U. NEWS LETTER.

Declaring that the solution of the trans.
portatiOn problem lies not in government
ownership of railroads but rather in more
powerful national and state commissions

Pennsylvania Railway system made q
strong address to the students of the Uni
versity Friday on Government Owner
ship"
Mr.. Lee stated that there is an increas-
ing tendency on the part of legislatures
to pass restrictive and destructive regu-
lations which are met by transportation
companies with considerable difficulty,
and thatff railroads are to continue in
an Efficient way such legislation should be
abandoned.
Regarding the proposed government
ownership he spoke at some length on the
financial difficulties which would arise
under such condition and pointed ont
how this plan had resulted in loss to the
counties where it had been attempted.
He stated that government ownership
had proven unsatisfactory to the laborer,
to the shipper and to the taxpayer.

PLANTING CORN.

The Texas Farm and Ranch gives N.
following good suggestions about nI.,.
Ing corn which we reproduce for inform.
alton OF the interested:
Time of Planting.
No definite rule can be given for tim.
OF planting. A safe guide is to plant a.
the average time OF the old settlers Of the
community. The earlier the better. n
conditions are favorable, but extra earlv
planting is sure to weaken the sted he
laying in the cold ground so long, Then
there is always the danger of frost. Fiftv.
live degrees is the ideal temperature Of
the soil. As soil temperature is affected
largely by cultivation, it is better to plant
few days late than to plant on poorlv
prepared ground
Thickness of Planting.
Thickness of planting varies ACCORDING
I'D variety, (2) soil and CD climate
and rainfall. The so-called prolific and
some Of the Northern varieties of corn
have smaller stalks than the large cared
native varieties, and should be planted
from l-2 to 2 times as thick.
Dry seasons demand thin planting. Ex.
perlments show that the highest Yields
are made when the hills are planted an
equal distance each way. For instance.
II 3 square feet is needed for a hill il Il
better to plant rows feet apart and hills
3 feet apart in row rather than in rows
1 feet apart and hills 2-I-2 feet in row.
Of course, narrow rows make more work
in cultivation so that beyond certain
limits the profits would not justify equal
distant rows and hills.
Possible Yields.
A yield of l53 bushels per acre is re.
ported in Iowa on good soil without spec
ial fertilizing by planting one kernel 10
inches each way. making total of 20, ess
stalks per acre.
In South Carolina 239 bushels per acre
was secured by special fertilization and
planting the rows alternately 8 and 6 feet
apart with or kernels dropped every
IL inches in row.
In North Carolina 226 bushels per acre
were grown by special fertilization and
planting the rows Al inches apart with
; kernels every inches in the rows,
making 1900 stalks per acre.
II corn is planted ; l2 feet by 3l-2
i,et there will be 1856 hills per acre.
With ONT one stalk per hill with one
small 10 1-2 ounce ear, this would yield
81 bushels per acre. The present average
yield in Texas is below 25 bushels per
acre.
If corn is drilled in l-2 foot rows,
with stalks IA inches apart in row, there
would be 1867 stalks per acre.
