TO insure the plans for the organization
OF the bank going through"
MIR. Derby, whose stock farm is In
Sumter county, Alabama, stated that not
enough progress had been made to an
nounce any details. He was in confer
enee again last night, however, with
prominent cattlemen of the south and
with several southern bankers. He stated
that in all probability some details OF
the new bank would be ready for an
nouncement within the next few days.
As president of the Southern Cattle
mems association. which has Just closed
big and successful convention in this
city. Mr.. Derby endeavored, above all
things, to do all he could to get rid of
the cattle tick and to place the associa-
ton of which he was president on what
he termed a sound business basis.
To do this he advocated and secured
the Endorsement of the convention for the
employment of high class attorney and
n paid secretary and for the organiza-
tion of southern cattlemen's bank which
would be the seat of a system of fnanc-
ing southern cattlemen This has been
one Of the chief problems of the south
is said He has been unable to secure
proper financial backing while his stock
is maturing for the markets.
The purpose of the proposed bank Is
to fill this need. system will be es-
tablished by which cattlemen's herds
can be given ms security for loans, and
the eattlemen's operations financed
through the year. It is understood the
bank will be located In Birmingham. but
as yet none of the details are to be
learned.

The people OF Birmingham will be glad
to know that the vestry of st. Andrews
church received a letter yesterday even-
ing from tho Rev. Willis @. Clark at Per-
dido Beach, stating that he had declined
call recently extended him by Trinity
parish, Asheville, N. C.
Trinity is larger and weather. parish
and much handsomer church than st.
Andrews and the. offer to Mr.. Clark was
of a considerably larger salary than that
paid him by st. Andrews. but his love
for his people here and his keen apprecla-
ton OF their needs and his consciousness
that mis- work In Birmingham was not yet
finished made him decide to remain where
he is, even at a great sacrifice from q
worldly and human standpoint

1--WE have not completed the organiza-
ton, of course. as that will take some
time, but we have gone far enough to
make the statement that the bank will
be organized, and that Just as soon as
possible"
YES, sir, we are going to organize as
big a bank with as big capital and just
as soon as we possibly can do it," stated
w. r. Iensley, president of the National
Live Stock Commission company, Ma
tional Stock Yards. Ill. Mr.. Hensiey,
Mr. Cobb. Mr.. Derby, r. L. Scale of
Livingston, and other large cattle breed
ers of the south have been in confer
ence at the Tutwler hotel for the past
two days over the new bank. In answer
as to where the bank might be located,
Mr. Hensley stated that he favored Bir-
mngham, and was of the opinion that
such would be the decision of the or
ganizers.
There are several points under con-
sideration for the location Of the bank,
among them is one of the things We have
yet to decide. SO far the people of Bir-
mingham do not appear to be interested
In whether or not the institution is located
here.
I'VE have not yet raised as much money
as we want or as much as we are going
to get, but you can make the positive
announcement that we have raised enough

I'm the course of the debate in

FALSELY LABELED MEDICINES
Vergennea Concern Pleads Guilty and
Is Fined 500

Washington, Sept. 17-More than
half hundred legal actions have
been terminated successfully under
the Sherley amendment to the Food
and Drugs act, which prohibits false
and fraudulent claims to the curat-
i've or the rapeutic effects of drugs or
medicines. Criminal prosecutions
against the manufacturers were
brought in % cases, but in 81 instanc-
es the falsely and fraudulcntly label
ed medicines were seized while in in
terstate commerce. Claims made by
the manufacturers for the curative
powers of these preparations ranged
from tuberculosis, smallpox and dipth
eria to coughs, colds and scalp dis
eases. A number of other criminal
prosecutions and seizures are pending
the various federal courts throughout
the United States because of alleged
violations of the Sherley amendment
similar to those which have already
been tried. The officials charged
with the enforcement of the Food
and Drug act are of the opinion that
the evils of the patent medicine bus
mess can be stopped only by the most
drastic action.
1t is pointed out that traffic in med
icines for which false and fraudulent
claims are made Is not only an econ
omic fraud of the worst kind in that
worthless preparation that costs
but q few cents is frequently sold for
4 dollar or more a bottle, but that
health, and even life. is endangered
by failure to secure the service OF a
physician in such serious diseases as
tuberculosis, diptheria. pneumonia
and scarlet fever, until too late, be-
cause reliance may have been placed
in the curative powers OF some
worthless preparation which is claim
ed to be a never-failing remedy. The
deluded victim may not realize his
danger until the victim has reached a
stage too far advanced for even the
ablest physicians to cope with it. Ef
fectiye treatment depends in most
cases on applying IL during the early
stages of the disease.
