MORE ON THIS REGIONAL BANK
BUSINESS,

DCEoAN11Oos
Editor Jeffersonian.
The public press reports from
Washington that the Southern farm
ers need not expect any legislation
from the present Congress and Ad-
ministration, to aid in handling the
cotton crop of this year. The excuse
is given that the regional banks will
be organized in a few weeks and
they will grant the needed relief.
The regional banks will be permitted
under the law to lend to their men,
Der banks money on cotton receipts.
1t therefore appears the banks may
borrow money on farmers cotton
in the warehouse to lend to the far
mer, yet the same farmer can't bor-
row dollar from the regional bank
on the same cotton. Is this right.
Why shouldn't the farmer be al
lowed to borrow money from the
Government at three per cent on his
cotton, the same as bank? Why
should the Government lend this
money to the banks on cotton re-
ceipts at three per cent for the
money to be re-lent to the farmer at
from eight to twelve per cent? These
are some questions the present Con-
gress will have to answer.
The Government through the Pos
tai Savings banks could lend this
money direct to the farmer at three
per cent per annum as easily as it
could lend it to the national banks,
and would therebys erVe the people
direct. Does this Government exist
to serve the national banks, or was
it created to serve the people?
If the Government as. at present
administered is determined not to
help the farmers in the present cri-
sis, the Congress ought to have the
decency to repeal the ten per cent
tax on State issues of money and
then the State of Georgia could issue
money either direct from the State
treasury or use the State banks as
an instrument to get the needed cur
rency into circulation.
Respectfully,
Ga. O. M. DUKE.

fundamental principles, and should

1t follows from this statement
that when America is made Catholic
there will be a union of Church and
State.
He denounces the law which
makes marriage a civil contract and
allows divorces, and recognizes as
lawful only marriages by the priests,
or by authority of the Church. When
America is made Catholic there will
be no marriages except by Romish
authority, and all children of parents
not SO married will be illegitimate.
When America is made Catholic
the public schools of our States and
municipalities, the pride of our coun-
try, will be abolished and all children
Will be educated in schools where
they are taught from infancy to be-
come Catholics The confessional
will be set up, and children will be
gathered together in the Church or
parOchial schools, where, under the
private and benignant smiles of a
Catholic father or sister, they will
be taught with their catechism to
make awkward efforts at crossine
their little hearts, and count their
beads in blind, hopeless superstition
and abject submission to their
mother superiors and others in au-
thority.
He invokes "the heavier penalties
used by the Church against the
guilty who are enrolled in the So
ciety of Freemasonry, and all these
penalties are to be visited upon the
guilty and those deemed guilty by
the Church, when America is made
Catholic.
The Order has grown everywhere

rolled in the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite. This grand army of
our Republic, together with the uni
ted membership of every Protestant
church, and all patriotic Americans
without regard to creed or society,
are by common consent firmly and
resolutely arrayed, as one band of
brothers against the avowed pur-
poses of the Hierarchy of Rome to
make America Catholic, and in resis-
lance to the declaration of the
Pope in his efforts to enforce
what he says is the duty of
all Catholics, that is, to bend every
energy, public, social and POLITICAL .

LONDON. Aug. Eth a. m. 1.-THE mill
tary position at Liege, Belgium. also along
the Franco-German frontier where the
opposing outposts are in touch, and in
Alsace, where severe engagements be-
tween a French invading force and the
German defenders recently were fought,
is explained in dispatch from the French
foreign minister received here this morn
ing. He says:
"Rumors regarding the loss Of the forts
at Liege by the Belgian troops are en-
tirely false. Only small groups of Ger
man soldiers entered the town itself under
cover of the darkness. All the encircling
forts. twelve in number, are intact.
Small, unimportant engagements have
occurred along the whole line where the
French and German armies are facing
each other, from Belfort, opposite the
southernmost part Of Alsace. to Liege in
Belgium In these encounters the French
cavalry has always maintained Its super
iority over the German mounted troops,
while our artillery has been splendidly
served.
Our troops have kept the crests and
passes of the Nosges mountains and they
dominate the heights of Alsace.
"A line between Thanh 0wenty-two

LONDON. Aug. 11.-(3:S0 a. M
Two salient points emerge from
the latest news of the great war.
The first and most striking is what
is described here as the silent vic
tory
This applies to the fact that the
North Sea, over which absolute 81
lenee has brooded so long, is now
open to shipping without serious
danger, The steamship services
from Denmark to London and from
Newcastle to Norway are being re-
suIned. while the steamship services
between the Hook of Holland and
Harwich have suffered no interrupt
ton.
These facts. in the opinion OF the
authorities here, imply that the Ger
man fleet for the time being Is safely
held in check.
The second point is that the
French have been obliged to evacu-
ate Muelhausen and occupy new po-
sitions outside the town,
French Are Checked.
According to German reports this
was the first important battle Of the
campaign aud the French. who had
$1,000 men, suffered serious check.
In Belgium. the position shows lits
tie change. A great battle Is ex-
pected somewhere on the line be-
tween Thionville and Liege between
the Germans. the French and Bel
gians. and It is thought probable II
will occur within a few days.
The Germans have occupied Ton
gres and are reported TO have cap
tured a railway station twenty-four
miles from Liege. Outpost affairs
OF no great importance are reported
at different points OF the many ma
tons engaged in the war. but, except
IN Belgium. no great battle is likely
for some time to come. as the respec-
tive armies are still engaged behind
these covering actions in the work
OF concentration on the frontiers.
On the national sphere there is nc
news except report that the elusive
German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
Tau have reached the Dardanelles
where, according 20 international
law. they will he dismantled and in
termed until the war Is ended. Should
this news be confirmed II win be a
great step towards the safety oil

Mediterranean.
