NEW YORK. August 4.-Conditions in
the financial district settled down to
further calm and quiet today. Measures
taken yesterday to safeguard the general
situation, including the Issuance of

ever possible. although the ruling of the
governors freed them from that obliga-
ton.

required to file the sixty-day notices
agreed upon by all savings banks In the
state.
Most Of the depositors Of the bank are
Germans and Slavs. The run was start
ed. it was said, by the spreading Of q
rumor that the bank purposed to assist

vancing funds.

Plan of Action.

First. they want government assist
ance to southern banks that will per-
nit the cotton growers to store their
cotton owing to the loss Of European
demand on account of the general war

would need loans to carry them over
until there shall be good market.
Second, in case market does develop
transportation facilities must be ar
ranged.

Scandinavian merchant ships soon

The Port Gibson reveille., 1914-07-09


Mr.. T. R. Trim, who has charge
of the county prisoners, is out in
a spicy letter in today's Reveille,
in which he takes the grand jury
investigating committee to task for
its recent criticisms of conditions
which it charged exist at the farm
prison. Mr.. Trim does not mince
words: he hits direct from the
shoulder, aud if the committee is
guilty as charged his blows will
tell. The Reveille took accession,
on the assumption that the jury
reported correctly, to urge the
board of supervisors to right ex-
isting wrongs; but it Mr.. Trim
can substantiate bis charges, (which
he claims to be able to do, there
seems to have been much ado
about nothing-a hallucination, or,
possibly, brain storm.

The board of supervisors wa

The board of supervisors was
wise 10 its decision not to let the
road contracts at a price beyond
the ability of the counry to pay.
This was the reason given for re-
jecting all bids. The expenses of
the county have grown to be con-
siderably larger than the income.
This condition cannot continue
indefinitely. Retrenchment must
begin somewhere, and the sooner
the better. We do not want poor
er roads, but we must have cheaper
roads. The Reveille is convinced
that we spend too much on road
machines, when even better re-
suits could be Obtained by the use
of the drag. The value of the
drag has been thoroughly demon
strated in Port Gibson. It hard
ems the surface of the road, it
forces the standing water to the
bitches by filling the ruts and
other depressions, and at the same
time drags the dirt to the center.
The board would do a wise thing
by at least working one or two
links with the drag and keep a
record of comparative cost and
condition with the machine worked
roads.

The ministers of Vicksburg
visited the meeting of mayor and
city commissioners of that place
Monday and asked that the gro-
Gerry stores be closed on Sunday,
and this was the reply, accor ding
to the Herald:
"Mayor Hayes replied, saying
that be would look into the mat
ter, and see what could be done.
He thought that.the custom, how
ever, had been allowed, as there
are in some instances persons who
find it almost a necessity to get
into the groceries Sunday morning.
And when a start is made in this
respect, it might result IL working
q hardship in many ways. and
might even bring about "blue
laws" for Vicksburg.
Mayor Hayes uncOnsciously
dropped into humor. The Wild
est flight OF the imagination could
scarcely place Vicksburg IN the
"blue laws" class. 1t is the gen.
eraI impression Throughout the
state that the Sabbath In that city
is a day Of reveIry, every man be-
