section of the county. Gentle, kind,
patient, brave and true, she was the
highest type of the true Christian wo-
man. She was never heard to COM
plain. She had the finest sense of
Justice; was always fair and frank.
For more than half century she was
a devout, consecrated member of the
Methodist church and that organiza-
ton never had on it's rolls one who
tried more faithfully or more Loyalty
to do her duty all the time than Mrs.
Taylor. She was woman of convic-
tions, but she accorded to other the
right which she claimed for herself.
OF strong character, unbending when
ever questin of right or wrong was
involved, she nevertheless avoided all
controversy and her sweet spirit was
ever benediction to those who came
in contact with her. She died in the
faith and expressed in her last hours
her perfect readiness to meet her
"Pilot face to face" Her death will
be mourned by all who had the privi-
lege of her friendship.

MRS. C. TAYLOR
PASSES away
END COMES TO NOBLE CHRIS
TIAN WOMAN OF THE GUILE
Okla COMMUNITY.
For More Than Fifty Years She Had
Been a Devout and Consecrated
Methodist.

Mrs. Claiborne Taylor, one Of the
most beloved and widely known wo-
men of the Culleoka section, died at
her home at 2:15 o'clock Saturday
after a protracted illness Of sew
eral weeks.
Mrs. Tayler was born in the Cor
nersville section of Marshall county
seventy-six years ago, and until few
months since enjoyed good health.
However, short time ago she began
to decline in health, and for several
days the end has been apparent. She
died surrounded by her entire family.
Mrs. Taylor was twice married, first
to Mr.. Fowler, of Marshall county,
and two of the sons of that marriage,
DR.. Walter Fowler, of Oklahoma, and
Rev. Clint Fowler, of the Oklahoma
Methodist conference, survive her.
She was later married to the late
Claiborne Taylor, one of the most
prominent farmers of the Culleoka
section, and is survived by two chill
dren of that marriage, Mrs. John P.
Graham, with whom she made her
home for the past fourteen years, and
Earl Taylor of Nashville. She is
also survived by a step-son, Marion
Taylor, of Culleoka, and two STEP
grand daughters, Mrs. Erwin and Miss
Georgia Taylor, Of Nashville.
Mrs. Taylor was universally esteem
ed by all who knew her. She was

am delighted with the work the ex-
aminers are doing. They are splen-
didly adapted to the work and through
their wide experience unquestionably
made their visits of great value to the
banks. They report cordial recep-
ton wherever they go and say the
banks are taking deep interest in
what is being DONE"
One provision of the new law is
that all failed banks must be liquidat-
ed through the department. This is
Ia splendid feature, since it insures
the creditors of such institutions
against the usual dissipation of what
assets remain. Two banks are, at
this time, in the hands of Superintend-
emit Hutton to be wound up, The Van
Buren, Bank at Spencer, and the
Farmers & Merchants Bank at Deca-
turville. These banks closed early in
January and their assets are now be-
ing collected as promptly as posi-
BILE for distribution.
1.-The possibilities of the new banking
department are unlimited and it is
doing untold benefit to the state
more than can ever be realized, since
it's operations are of such nature
that to large extent they must re-
main untold When Superintendent
Hutton was asked if he thought he
had gone far enough to date to give
an opinion on the condition of Tennes-
see state banks, he said the he I'M
doubtedly had, and added:
1.-THE general condition of the state
banks in Tennessee is very high
tribute to the personnel of the bank
managers. Operating practically with
out law, as they have been, failures
have been relatively few. They have
given faithful serice because they
preferred to and not because they
were obliged to. OF course we have
found some instances where a help
ing hand was imperative, but the gen.
eral condition is highly satisfactory"
Since the first of the year several
new banks have opened for business
and a few have made changes in their
capital stock, all of which is done
through the department There are
now four hundred and ten state banks
in Tennessee, including five branch
banks.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1914-02-06

Superintendent Hutton, of the state
banking department, is saving impair
ed banks; helping the weak to be-
come strong; restoring confidence
among depositors and with the public,
rather than sitting on a throne as a
satrap making every bank in the
state come to a technical compliance
with the law.
The new superintendent is making
a record that not only saves the credit
and preserves the faith of the depos-
itors, but creates confidence in the
banks of the state. Where he finds
a bank with its capital impaired
through some error of business judg-
ment or some failure to exercise that
caution required of prudent business
men, his first effort is to straighten
out the tangles with the view to keep
ing Che bank going and saving not
only the depositors, but in the end the
shareholders from the almost total
loss that would result from arbitra-
ry closing of the bank.
During the month that the new
banking department has been in oper-
alton four failed banks have already
been put n their feet again. The four
banks are small ones located in va
rious parts Of the state, and Col. Hut
ton very properly refused to give
their names for the reason that they
are again on their feet and doing bus
mess at the old stands with the mon
ey of every depositor absolutely safe
guarded through the sagacity and wis
dom of the superintendent.
Mr.. Hutton was enthusiastic in
speaking of the support his depart
ment is receiving from the banks.
Bankers all over the state" he said,
"are cooperating with us in the most
gratifying fashion, toward the end of
securing better banking in Tennes-
see, and thereby adding to the pros
perity of the state. The banks are
not only submitting cheerfully to su-
pervision but they even welcome the
visits of our examiners; suggestions
of the department are being eagerly
adopted, and it is very clear that,
with such a spirit of willing compH-
ance, great results may be expected.

In Tennessee:
For the young man with good
farm, little money and the use Of

no more inviting field for breeding
and developing registered Jersey cat
tie than Tennessee. The variety Of
her climate and soil enable her to
produce all the crops necessary for
the support of both man and beast.
You may quarantine her and confne
her population and their wants to her
own borders, and she will produce all
the necessities and Injuries requisite
for millions of people. All the do
mestic grasses flourish here-clover,
blue grass lin sections), red top, tim
.othy and bermuda. In favorable sea-
sons lespedeza-the legume called
Japan clover" springs up sponta-
neously and covers the field like car
pet An acre of good soil in Tennes-
see well sodded with bermuda will
furnish as much pasture six months
in the year as two acres of blue
grass on its native heath. If the
grass crop runs short any year, cow
peas, soy beans, millet and sorghum
will make an abundant supply OF COW
feed on short notice. In short this
state can grow little of everything,
and enormous crops of most things
produced by the soil.

NEW EXPRESSRATEs
GO Into Effect
ON FEBRUARY |
RANGE ALL THE
WAY FROM 80 PER CENT TO
60 PER CENT.
DUE TO INTERSTATE COMMISSION
Relief Promised Shortly .on .lntra-
State Express Charges by the State
Railroad Commission Through One
of Its Members.
fridays Daily.)

The local representatives of the
Southern Express Company have an
nounced to the public the schedule
of interstate rates that will apply
from Columbia to all points without
the state. These rates will go into ef-
feet ON February /. The reductions
range from 300 to 500 lower than
the old rates.
The decrease in the old rates has
been due to the work of the inter-
state commerce commission of Wash
ington. Steps are now being taken
by the railroad commission of the
state to considerably reduce the rates
on all intrastate shipments. The Her
aid of Thursday printed a letter from
Commissioner Avent to William Bar
.ker, of this city, in which he assured
the latter that If the express compa-
MES doing business in the South did
not come to some satisfactory agree
ment with the railroad commissions
of the Southern states, which are
soon to have a joint meeting in At
lanta upon the question of rates, then
the railroad commission of this state
would take steps to put into effect
Immediately system or rates of their
own making.
There are some remarkable reduc-
tons in the schedule published Thurs
day on interstate shipments. Where
it used to cost 60 cents to ship a five
pound package from here to Chicago
by express, it will cost only 20 cents
after Feb. /. This is reduction of
over so per cent. The old rate on
10 pound package was 80 cents, the
new will be only 81. The cost of
sending 20 pound package from Co
lumbia to Louisville used to be 60
cents, it will be 4S after the new
schedule goes into effect on Feb. /.
The rate to Evansville is somewhat
less than formerly. The pound rate
used to be 40 cents, but under the
new scales this has been cut down to
rs cents.
The Southern Express Company
also announces that the rates on food
products will be even lower. In addi-
ton to these reductions, they also
give free insurance on all property up
to the value Of $50.
The interstate commerce commits.
sion has done valuable service to the
people in the work of these rates. It
has taken much time, labor and the
employment of great number of rate
experts to make over almost wholly
the old system, under which the ex-
press companies charged almost what
they wished to for the carrying of
packages. The new rates will make
1t possible for many things to be
SHIPPED now by that method which
originally had to he sent by freight
on account of the prohibitive rates.
The immediate result of thise almost
wholesale reduction in charges will
probably be large increase in the
amount of stuff to be handled by ex.
press.
