Committee Appointed to Draft Meas
ure for Protection of
Business Men.
Excursion to Be Held This Year. But
Time and Route Are as Yet
Undecided.

Following IA spirited debate Of more
ve-tn two hours duration. the Washing
rtn Chamber of Commerce at meeting
eNr night authorized the appointment of
: -s.nmittee to draft bill by which
business men will he enabled to take ac-
ton against persons passing checks with
out sufficient funds N bank TO cover
them. provided the check is passed with
fraudulent intent The chamber at a
previous meeting decided not TO indorse
a bill TO this effect introduced III con
gress by Representative AVIS
Last nights debate was on the motion
IT, reconsider the bill. which was de-
clared by many members to be 100 dras-
tc and far-reaching IN its effect The
motion was finally lost. the chamber
holding to its original decision. On mo
ton ri Ralph Lee. President William r.
Gude was authorized TO appoint COM
mfttee to draft bill that would meet
the requirements OF the situation and yet
not be too drastic,
The bill over which the discussion arose
provides that "A person who draws a check
o. draft on any bank with no funds or
insufficient funds shall be guilty OF a
misd.rueanoT il the amount OF such
cheek or draft be under so. and shall be
guilty of a felony if the amount be for
more than SO. provided that the person
who makes such a check shall not be
prosecuted II he pay the amount within
twenty days after receiving notice OF
protest. The proposed legislation also
fixes the punishment for these onenses,
Would Injure Innocent Persons.
Those who did not favor the bill de-
clared many innocent persons would be
injured by its passage. saying that many
citizens daily passed checks when they
had insufficient funds i'll bank. hut that
as soon as they were so informed de-
posted enough money to cover the de-
fciency. Several of the lawyers VINO OPP
posed the mea sure declared that II Woulu
place too much power in the hands OF
those receiving such checks and that IL
was in reality failing for debt.
Many of those on the other side spoke
of the large number of checks which
were passed with the intent to defraud
and declared that under the present
statutes it is nearly impossible to OBJ
tain convictions They also declared that
such legislation as that proposed would
not embarrass the honest man
All were apparently agreed that some
legislation was necessary 10 cover inns
phase. and those who opposed the recon
side, alton Of the bill did so because they
considered the bill under discussion was
not adapted TO the situation. some be-
lieved the bill would affect only the hon
est man or woman and that the crook
would find means to defraud Just the
same.

COUNTY COMMENCEMENT.

The educational workers of Hender-
son county have been giving increased
consideration to the subject of coun-
ty commencement next spring since 1t
was editorially discussed in the Dem
ocrat on July 2, and as result of the
cal eful thought given this progressive
educational movement which is sweep
ing over North Carolina, the teacheIf
will discuss this phase of school work
at their meeting next Saturday.
In the news columns of the Demo
Crat will be found an interesting ar
t:Cle on this subject. We trust that
the teachers and others interested will
carefully consider this. important un-
certaking. The benefits are are too
numerous to be elaborated on here.
The county commencement has q
unifying effect, bringing school COM
n:itteemen, teachers, officers, children
and patrons in closer touch with each
other, tending to solidify the work of
the remotest districts with that Of
county and State. 1t has a tendency
to remove the feeling of isolation
which cripples the work of some of
the smaller districts in the more OBJ
scure communities, thus giving equal
opportunities for the public expression
Of the talents and ambitions of the
boys and girls.
There are numerous valuable fea-
lures of the work and the Democrat
trusts that the county commencement
movement may be given sufficient en-
Lhasis by the teachers Saturday to re-
suit in one of the most inspiring ed
vocational days here next spring ever
known in the history of Henderson
county.

something like four years ago and has
since been living in exile beyond the
Atlantic Francisco Madero, who had
successfully led the revolution
against the Diaz dynasty, succeeded to
the presidency, only to become the
victim of assassins when Huerta gain
cd the ascendency and became the die
tator year or two ago.
The friends of Madero determined to
avenge his death, after an extended
struggle, fearful loss of life and de-
struotion of property, have succeeded
in putting Huerta to fight and are
soon to be in full control of affairs at
Mexico City. But the country has
been left in a destitute condition by
the despot Huerta, whom, it is charg-
co, robbed the people of 100000,
when he sought refuge far away to
escape the punishment he richly de-
served for the murder of his prede-
cessor. The United States is exercis-
ing it's good offices in an earnest effort
to restore genuine peace, it is said,
and with some prospects of success.
Leaders of the contending armies have
expressed a willingness to cooperate
and peaceful government there may
yet be established without interven.-
ton by the armies of Uncle Sam. IL
such a conclusion shall be reached.
the "watchful waiting policy of Pres
ident Wilson will have been fully JUS
titled. Maybe he has been right al!
the time. Let us hope so.

THE EUROPEAN CALAMITY.

The attempt of Austria Hungary to
take unto herself the little Serviar
monarch on mere pretext, has
provoked comment the world over
and speculation is rife concerning tile
probable outcome. Being related by
faith and blood to the Slav people
which inhabit Servia, Russia declared,
with little hesitancy, that she could
not regard their fate with indifference
and proceeded to put her army and
navy on war footing. Germany i'm
mediately took up the gauntlet in de-
fence or her ally Austria-Hungary
and simultaneously an old quarrel
with France was renewed. England
announced waiting policy at first
but later entered the lists against
Germany. Italy declared neutrality;
Romania expressed sympathy with
Servia and thus the greatest conflict
in history threatens to deluge Europe
with blood
AAO 4C4dI4NS OI Lie con-
tending armies and navies should all
of them become involved, is variously
estimated. The triple alliance-Ger-
many, Italy, and Austria-Hungary-is
reported to have total of COS ships,
with a fighting force of 117,00O men;
the Tripe Entente-England, Franco
and Russia-1,2OS ships. with 100000
p>en. Says the Utica Saturday Globe:
"On land, the Triple Entente has the
largest fighting force, numerically
considered, the preponderance of SOL
diers, however, being Russians.

The movement of the Rev. Sidney.
Love for Recorders court in Hender-
son county is worthy of the considera-
ton of all good citizens who wish to
see conditions among the law-breaking
element bettered A Recorders court
would mean prompter disposal OF
many cases in which magistrates do
rot have jurisdiction, thereby obViat-
Ing the necessity of putting the COUNT
to the expense of supporting prisoners
for several weeks and most especially
to make it possible for the removal OF
a young defendant not hardened in the
ways of law-breaking from the prison
by prompt trial rather than keep him
locked up for weeks awaiting the GRIM
inal term of Superior court. The Re.
ccrders courts in other sections are
working to satisfaction and it is un-
derstood that the one in the neighbor-
ing county of Pennsylvania is self-sup>
porting in the way of fines and the saw
ing of expenses to the county by the
early disposition of small cases IN
which magistrates have no jurisdiction.
Why shouldn't this movement culmi-
nate in a Recorders court at the COM
ing session of the General Assembly?

FARMERS AND THE BANKS.

Henderson county farmers, garden
ers and fruit growers are now reap
ing the reward of their years labor
and the Democrat knows no better
time to admonish them and no bet
ter advice to give them than to ac-
quire the banking habit.
Viewing with more or less unwar-
rGnted distrust sound business bank
ing principles, many farmers are
disposed to cram their wallets down
in their jeans or hide it in some chest
rather than deposit it in bank.
The distrust with which many peo-
pie look upon banks is not well found
Cd but is due to lack of information
regarding banking methods. Just be-
cause there has been some bank fail
ures, the non-banker should not look
upon banking institutions with mis-
s~Ist for they are governed by State
or Federal laws and their failures are
rot recorded as frequent as are the
4C00OS vi bAO0O WIZ 4C4u0C " w
banking business but often make a
futile effort to secure their belongings
from loss or thieves Every day or SO
We read of heavy losses by those who
place their money in stockings, boxes,
chimney corners and elsewhere
through lack of confidence in banks.
The Democrat advises those of it's
readers who do not have a bank &C
count to call on a local banker, and
if you are not familiar with banking
rules he will be glad to explain the
matter to your satisfaction. The
banking habit will educate you AMI
your family in business habits. If
you have a bank account and are bus
tcIess like in your transactions, you
will establish a reputation as bus
mess man as we'll as a farmer; then.
when you want to borrow money to
purchase fertilizers or to. make i'm
movements, or to buy stock, you can
60 to the banker, tell him of your
proposed transactions and with the
necessary security get the money
that you need.
Henderson county has four good
banks and the Democrat urges those
who have not acquired the banking
tabit to open an account and enjoy
some of the many advantages resulting
therefrom. You have, had good grain
and fruit crops and have sold good
ly portion of your vegetables. so be-
fore your money is spent or lost why
not make it secure with banker in
2 burglar-proof vault?

POOR DEFENSELESS MEXICO.

Mexico has long been a blot upon
civilization. 1t has been swept with
one resolution after another for many
generations and there appears to be
little prospects there of a government
of the people, for the people, by the
people" until the Powers intervene as
they did in the case of China some
years ago. General Diaz governed
Mexico wisely and we'll for a time,
but his adherents became unfaithful
End betrayed the old man into the
hands of his enemies, forcing him to
flee the country to save his head. He
was escorted to ship of refuge by
General Huerta, a faithful supporter,

MOVING PICTURES INVADE
THE MISSIONARY FIELD

The moving picture as a means Of
missionary, education is brand-new.
but is soon to be put at the disposal
Of the millions of the United States
Il would seem that the south is to be =
pioneer in this field Bishop Lalo-
buth, in his recent journey to the heart
OF Africa, where he established the
nission for the Methodist EpiscopaI
church, south, took a moving picture
machine and brought back wonder
full collection of interesting views
Perhaps no more striking and touch
ing missionary picture has been ex
kibited than that of the great Batete-
IL chief, Wenbo Mama, grim-visaged
and savage, just few months out Of
cannibalism, holding the year-old
baby of Doctor Mumpower, while I'M
accustomed tears of tenderness spring
to his eyes.
Bishop Lambuth's picture were ex-
!ribited to great and deeply interested
throngs at the recent general confer
erce in Oklahoma City, and are being
shown at other points.
The Southern Presbyterian church
will soon put on throughout the south
series of magnificent moving pic
lures of mission work in China, Japan,
and Korea. Mr.. G.. A. Rowland of
Athens, Ga, and Mr.. J. P. McCallie of
Chattanooga, Tenn, two prominent
laymen of that church. are now tour
ing the orient on journey Of mis-.
sjonary investigation. They took with
them an expert moving picture man,
and are taking as they go character
istic views illustrating the life of
these interesting people and particu-
larly the many phases of missionary
activity that are being carried on so
successfully Within few months it
Will be possible to sit down in the
r=idst of even the small towns and
villages in the south, graphic sketches
OF life on the other side OF the Worlu,
and man without leaving his home
town may gain first-hand knowledge
from actual observation of eVangelis-
tic, medical, educational. and industri-
al missions as they are found on the
other side of the world. Messrs
Rowland and McCallie have been COM
missioned by some of the other mis-
sionary boards to get series of rep
resentative pictures of their own de-
nominational work, so that the field Of
missions in the orient will be very
fairly covered. Millions of people
will look forward with great interest
to the opportunity Of having this work
brought thus to their doors.
