JOS. FRANK SAYS
CHARGES ARE TRUE
DECLARES THAT STAHLMAN DID
ASSIST IN PREPARING BILL
TO HIT PROHIBITION.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 15.-Jos.
Frank, mentioned by Senator Lea as
one of those with whom Maj Stahl-
man conferred with reference to the
preparation of a bill for the partial
repeal of the prohibition laws during
the last legislative session, today
made this statement:
What did last winter in trying to
bring order out of deplorable condi-
tions then prevailing in this city l
am not ashamed of and for which
have no apology to make. In my ef-
fort to do my part to better condi-
tions, / thought that the cooperation
of Maj. Stahlman was necessary. He
did cooperate with us in having bill
drawn according to his suggestions,
corrections and advice. He did meet
Mr.. Dudley and myself, not once, but
at least a dozen times on this sub
ject. But the bill as finally submit
ted to him, in our last interview, did
not meet his approval. Jos. Frank" "

RICHARDSON WILL
AGAIN HANDLE THE
WORK HOUSE HANDS
LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE PRES
ENT SUPERINTENDENT WILL
AGAIN BE NAMED.
TO FINISH LAST ROAD CONTRACT
Hereafter the Hands Will Be Put to
Work In That Community That Will
Make the Most Liberal Offer of As
sistance to the County.

Officers of the county work house
will be elected by the county road
commission at the regular meeting
on the fourth Monday of this month.
There is little doubt about the re-
election of Hicks Richardson, for the
past two years superintendent of the
work house. He has made a good re-
cord and has given general satisac-
ton. Two of the members of the
commission have heretofore voted
for him. 1t is not thought likely that
there will be any changes in the per-
sonnet of the guard force at the pris-
on.
1t is expected that before the end
of this year the commission will be
called upon to decide, under the re-
cent road act of the county, where the
work house will be next located.
Good progress is being made on the
Lewisburg road now in the course of
construction and it should be finished
before the end of the present year.
With the completion of this road ends
the last of the contracts confirmed
by the act of the legislature for the
building of roads in the county.
Just where the hands will be placed
after the road now being built is fin
|ished, is not known. However, under
the new law, it is the duty of the
commission to advertise that the
hands will be at the disposal OF the
community that will make the most
attractive offer to the county. In
other words it will be the policy Of
the county, under the new law, to
help that community build roads that
is the most willing to help itself
This is unquestionably sound pub
lie policy; it is carrying into effect
the old adage that "the lord helps
those who help themselves"

THE STATEMENTS
Of COUNTY'S BANKS
RESPONSE TO CALL OF SUPERIN-
TENDENT SHOWS ALL EN-
JoYING PROSPERITY.

Statements of the state banks of
the county and the city are publish
ed in today's issue of The Herald.
These are the Spring Hill Bank, the
Bank of Culleoka, the Hampshire
Bank and the Bank of Santa Fe and
the Columbia Bank & Trust Company
They are statements that show a
prosperous condition in the several
sections of the county; they show
also that all of the banks have had a
fine year in spite of unfavorable
weather for the farmers. Every one
of the banks named has added very
materially to its resources; the de-
posits show a substantial gain since
the last reports and the surplus has
been materially increased. In addi-
tion most of the banks, those that
have been in operation for several
years, have paid good dividends. The
younger banks have adopted that safe
principle of banking and that is for
building up during the early years,
the surplus as rapidly as possible.
The statements made today are as
of January 6, the date of the call
made by state superintendent OF
banks, Jos. L. Hutton, under the re-
cent banking act of Tennessee.
