unel. Sam Want. Martha, viii.

y
State Senator r. e. Thornton has an
nounced that, acting at the request of
officers of the Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution. he would ask the vir-
ginia legislature to authorize the at
torney general Of the state to sue in the
United States supreme court to recover
the will of Martha Washington, now
in the private collection Of ]. p. Nor
gan at New York.
The will was stolen from tho Fair
fax court house near the Bull Run
battlefield during the civil war,
Mrs. John 8. Barbour. Of Falls
Church. Va. regent Of the d. Afr.
has placed in Senator Thornton's hands
a copy of letter she received from
Belle Da Costa Green, librarian for Mr..
Morgan. declining to return the will
to the archives Of the courthouse, but
Offering to send photographs Of the
document.
Citizens Of Virginia who had been
searching for, the will nearly fifty years
accidentally learned a few years ago
that it was in Mr.. Morgan's collection.
1t is said that senior Morgan ignored
letters written in behalf Of Fairfax
county, and that it was learned indi-
rectly that he claimed the right to
keep the will because 1t was war loot.
The matter was then dropped. After
the death of the elder Morgan the Fair
fax people became interested in the
will again. The Daughters Of the Amer
lean Revolution undertook to get It.
They had read In the paper Of in
stances where Mr.. Morgan, Jr., was re-
turning to France and other foreign
countries certain valuable papers that

TREASURY BOOKS TANGLED.
Accounts Several Months Behind and
Opportunity For Theft.


Washington, Jan. "a perilous
condition Of affairs has been revealed
In the office of the treasurer Of the
United States. probably the greatest fl
nancial clearing house in the world. 1t
was disclosed as result Of an investi-
cation Just ended.
The confusion which prevails is such
as to retard the work of the auditing
or1cers of the government. to impair
the efficiency Of the force harding the
accounts. to make evident the inabil-
ity of the office to fptnish the infor-
nation desired by government debtors
and creditors, and even to jeopardize
the safety of the public funds
The investigation was made by Har-
Vey S. Chase & Co., certified public
accountants Of Boston, who were en-.
ployed by the secretary of the treasury.
The finding OF this concern have
aroused Congressman Good of Iowa,
who is insisting that in the legislative.
executive, and judicial Dill a provision
be inserted requiring the affairs of the
treasurers office to be investigated i'm
medlately 1t is expected there will be
changes in the personnel of the treas
urer's office, the chief of which is for
mer Gov. John Burke of North Dakota.
Here, in brief, are the findings re-
ported:
l There prevails a lack of accurate
knowledge regarding the condition and
correctness of national bank accounts.
2. Opportunities exist for gross ir-
Irregularities which would enable the
mulcting of the government of huge
sums of money and the easy escape Of
the thieves.
3. The present method of examining
and clearing checks has produced con-
gestion. with the result that the daily
amount of uncleared checks has not
been below s40.000,000 in months
4. No bank could cont'n nue. in bust
ness were 1t to hold checks for a week
before charging them to the customers
accounts.
5. Disbursing officers are unable to
secure statements of their accounts
earlier than from one to four months;
which, in the case of a private deposit
tor, would cause him to change his
bank Immediately.
During the year ending June 80, 1912,
the total of the entries passing thru the
books of the treasurer's office was close
to $4,000 100000.
The Office maintains accounts in L.
500 national banks. It furnishes the
funds and keeps the accounts of nearly
5000 government disbursing officers. 1t
acts as agent for $500 banks in the re-
demption of their bank note circula-
ton. and it handles for the postof1ce
department the deposits Of surplus
'''o-ev order funds from $4,000 post
masters.
/, receives every business day from
$4,000 to 10000 checks. and it must keep
the continually changing records of
nearly $2.000,o00.O00 Of paper currency
secured by gold and silver in its vaults.
In the performance Of these and other
highly responsible duties. the services
of over $40 people are required in the
Washington Office alone.

Wise Prseaution.

There was sudden change in the
wind and the pastor Of the Mount
Zion chapel saw that some Of his par
ishioners drew their wraps about their
shoulders. He paused in his sermon.
"Brudder Wilding," he said. raising
his voice and waking the old sexton
from peaceful slumberS in the rear
pew. "Brudder Wilding, be kind
enough to close all de winders on de
cas- side OBJ de church. De wind had
come round an we can't afford to lose
a single lamb from dis fold by careless
ness, wild an outstanding debt on this
chapel, an two families moved out OBJ
town."

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Horse market at
Chicago was a trifle more active than
any time this week. but prices We're
steady. Commission men who were
willing to let the eastern buyers set
the prices for the animals did some
business, and at that the prices looked
about all they could afford to pay,
without going into the hole. With both
sides crying they are losing money, the
market is draggy, despite the fact the
season when the demand for horses
will be good is but short distance off.
A glance at the files of the Farm
ers' and Drovers' Journal shows the
market this time last year about the
same, but toward the spring blowing
season the market was more active
and prices better Farm chunks oc-
cupied the attention of the buyers most
Of the day. The supply OF horses.
which is large. is mostly composed Of

Medium and common horses are be-
ing almost willed upon prospective

stock when the trades brisk. Big
drafty wagon horses received little call.
Retail trade was fairly good.

DON'T HUNT FOR
SIGHTS OR INSULTS.

The man is to be pitied who is al
ways spying around for Sights and in
suits, for in doing so he makes him.
self most miserable. He conjures up a
bugaboo and insists said bugabOO has
picked him out as his particular vic
tim. Now, the basis of such dispo-
sition is an inordinate amount of self
esteem. If he did not possess such
a trait he would rise above a seeming
slight But no; he must insist on the
other fellow being unhappy by being
unhappy himself. He must feel a
sting in order to sting the other man.
The better way the more Christian
way, is to try to conStUe everything
said or done from a friendly stand
point, and if that seems impossible
to drop the matter by raising above it.
That is the thoughtful, large minded
way. If there is a slight, it disarms
it and makes it seem pitiful; if the
slight was not intended the resent
ment is unjust and mean. So, any
way this matter is taken, it is man
lv thing to let the slight swelter with
the slighter, and thus save oneself
from an Insignificant and senseless in
trusion. Let us imagine how we
would remember such a slight up
there in the land of eternal life.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1914-06-02
THE BETTER RULE.

"The better rule is that business
knows no friendships and has no pre-
sumptions that any man is honest
that is when it is ones business to
protect the interests of others.
LET a man do what he will with
his own, but when he takes a chair
at directors table, where the well
fare of other men and other women,
be they rich or poor, helpless wild
ows or dependent orphans, prosper
Gus business men, or what not
when responsibility of safeguarding
such trust as this confronts a man,
should he not forget that George is
good fellow and remember his
own oath and make him prove that
he is an honest fellow, and that the
papers which he lays down for exam
ination are neither forged nor fcti-
tiOuS?
IF the directors of, the wrecked
bank at Paris had done this there
would have been a different story to
tell.
Further there were at least a
few losers by this disaster which
these directors should repay if it
took every penny of their own to do
so."-fLexington Leader.

NOTES FROM THE
TOBACCO PLANT BEDS

No tobcco has yet been planted in
Trimble County, KY, except by ma
chinery.
Davless County (Ky) growers have
been delayed in getting out their
plants because of a lack of season.
Tennessee growers are also get
ting anxious for good season, as
most of the land has been prepared
and plants are getting too large.
Mercer County (Ky) farmers are
only awaiting season to transplant
their tobacco. The plants are in a
thrifty condition and plentiful.
Plants in Anderson County (Ky)
were never so plentiful as this year,
and growers expect that nine-tenths
of the acreage will be under cultiva-
ton at the close Of May.
Although the ground is dry and no
season is in sight, tobacco men have
used the plant setter and thousands
of acres were set in Montgomery
County, KY, in the past ten days.
Farmers of Harrison County, KY,
have been compelled to water their
tobacco plant beds to keep them from
firing. Should not relief come soon
conditions may become serious.

drouth has prevailed in Kentucky and
plants are getting too large as there
has been no season, and, except IN
those sections where the plant set
ting machines have been used, very
little tobacco has been set.
North Carolina growers have also
experienced dry weather, which has
prevented planting. A good per cent.
of that which was watered and plant
ed has died. Cut worms have been
bad, owing to a cool spring. Some
sections of this State report a search
ty of plants.
A big sale of tobacco setting ma
chimes is reported by local dealers
as a result of the continued dry
weather and the Impotence of the
tobacco growers who have plants
ready but no season. If the dry
weather continues much longer it is
sure that a large acreage will be
fransplanted with machines. Plants
are reported suffering in the beds and
the growers have begun hauling wa
ter and watering them to keep them
from perishing.
