RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED FAVOR
oRiNG RIVERS AND HARBORs
BILL.

The following resolutions werd IN
snimously adopted by the Greenwood
Business League on the 18th day oil
JiIy. 1914:
Whereas we note from the public
prints, that there is a possibility tina,
the Senate Of the United States may
fail to pass the bill known as "the
Rivers and Harbors bili' for the i'm
provement Of our National Water
Ways and Harbors. and.
Whereas we view with alarm such q
contingency and look upon a failure to
pass the bill now before the Senate,
with as little delay AZ possible, as a nat
ional disaster; with insufficient funds
in hands Of the Mississippi River Com
mission to build, equip and maintain
the Levees, there is imminent danger of
devastation and ruin from o~yerfows,
70 millions OF acres Of the garden spot
Of the nation the Delta Of the Miss
issippi River and its tributaries-as
well rs loss Of millions of money inves-
ted in improvements in cities. towns,
villages, railroads and manufactures,
together with possible loss of life and
pauperizing Of thousands of others,
and,
Whereas the failure to pass the pen
ding bill making necessary appropria-
tons for continuance Of work upon
more than 300 Water Way projects
now in course OF construction, will re-
suit in delay Of at least a year, causing
great loss to the Government, by allow.
ing costly machinery to rust in idleness;
disorganizing efficient working forces,
built up during the last four years; re-
sulting in i~ncalculable damage to, or
more probable complete destruction of
uncompleted work; the movement well
under way for the restoration OF nav
igation on our inland water way be SER
iously crippled; the deepening of u
ocean harbors will be delayed, thus
with. holding from our commercial in
terests the full fruition and benefits Of
the Panama Canal and delaying the
early completion Of a national system
Of connected and dependable water
ways and harbors, therefore,
Be it resolved, by the Board of
Directors Of the Greenwood Business
League, that our Senators in the Con-
gress of the United States be and they
are hereby earnestly requested to use
every possible legitimate means that
they a devise or command, for the
purpose of securing the passage Of the
pending measure herein referred to, at
the present session of Congress, to pre-
vent the possible destruction of the
property and lives of of our people,
already burdened with enormous state
taxation in their efforts to maintain
levees, to prevent destruction caused
by the overflow Of the Waters of the
Nation, poured down upon them from
the hills and valleys Of Pennsylvania
on the East and the plains of the
Dakotas in the Northwest including
all the intervening territory between
the smoky hills of the Blue Ridge and
the snow-clad peaks Of the Rocky
Mountains.
Be it further resolved, that copies Of
these resolutions be mailed to the Sen
ators and to Commercial Organizations
in the State, and that all newspapers
friendly to u u be requested to
use their influence to secure
favorable action by the Senate on
the passage of the Rivers and Harbors
bill at the present session of Congress.

Immediately inearcerated in the count,
Jail, charged with ~defaIcations to tn,
amount Of arousd $4,000.
The Greenwood State Bank was or
gained in June, 1912, with a capita
stock Of 1886, 600, and was opened unde,
promising auspices, and was under
stood to be in splendid shape. How
ever, when State Bank Examiner s. 6.
Harris Of Tupelo. paid the bank a visit
on July II. for nm inspection, he recon-
mended an investigation by the banks
directors Of the overdrafts and short
age in the cashiers account. A com.
mIttee selected from the directorate
Immediately began an investigation
and reported that Cashier Green was
from SIS, 200 to $l0.0 900 short in the
cashiers account and had committed
other ~defalcations. using the secretive
method of "kiting," which had not
been discovered untildhe inspection of
the state bank examiner.
Mr.. Green had about Sc. 900 stock In
the bank and has been cashier since Its
organization. over two years ago. He
came to Greenwood from his home In
Franklin. Tenn, nssistingi In the organi-
cation of the new bank. He made
many friends, vas a deacon In the

President Kitchell says the dcpositors

as yet to say what the stockholders
will receive.
President Kitchell has assigned over
his home and machine works to the
bank to cover a 500 600 indebtedness
which he had indorsed with Cashier
Green in their purchase Of some land
in Holmes county. The securities
which the bank holds for its loans are
declared to all be Of worth, and that
the liquidation by the state bank ex-
aminer will give full relief to the de-
p0sitors and creditors, and some to the
stockholders. il the opinion Of the
other officers Of the bank.
Cashier Green stated that he did
not care to make any statement at
time.
At a preliminary hearing given MI.

examination and was allowed bail in
the sum of $40, 900 by Justice H. w.
which was made this morning
and Mr.. Green released from custody.
We hope everything will soon be ar.
ranged to satisfy all concerned in this
unfortunate bank trouble.
