John AdaMs' four years Of ONCE
saw the questions which had dark
ened and perplexed washington's Sec
ond term mature and bear their unpal-
atable fruit
War with England had been avoid
cd. but not war with France.
France had hoped for and expected
tho success of the Jeffersonian DEM
ocrats in tho elections; the French
minister to the United States had
make Q plea in the public prints for
the principles and the party of JEFF
ferson. the friend Of France, had ut
tered thinly yelled threats that the
success OF the Federalists in the prssi-
Dental election would lead France to
regard America as virtually an Eng
Ish dependency and to be treated as If
a. much an enemy as England herself
The cockade OF the French repub-
lie became for the nonce tho emblem
Of the partisans of Mr.. Jefferson.
The struggle for the presidency
looked for a little like q game be-
tween French and English for polit-
ical advantage.
With such things in the air the
success of the Federalists was the
more assured
The country's irritation over Mr..
Jays treaty, it is true. had not cooled.
and the Federalists seemed too mucn
in the English interest to please men
whose patriotism was quick to be
Jealous and take alarm, and the un-
blushing aggrsssions OF the French
and their partisans were for the mo-
ment worse yet, and the Federalists
kept their posts Of authority.
When once the result Of the cleo
ton was known France put away all
pretence of friendship.
Already she had declared herself
released from the treaties Of COM
merce and alliance by which she had
bound herself to the United States
in lHs-released by the mere fact
that Mr.. Jay had negotiated and the
United States had acceTA4d q treaty
with England.
Ever since 1877 she had been seiz-
ing American ships and cargoes on
the high seas as she pleased. a. free

This should be an especially lucky
day, and time in which to push bust
ness, travel, remove, and make plans
for the new year. Neptune, Venus,
Mercury and Uranus are all in bene-
fic aspect, while Saturn alone is faint
" evil in influence.
The lunation of this date denotes
much want and privation everywhere
in the world, for the rising position
of Saturn, inclined to Jupiter, is read
as exceedingly sinister. Neptune is
in place not good for public rev.
enues. Mars is in an aspect unfavor-
able for many departments of COM
merce. Railway and postal affairs
may be troublesome. Agriculture is
subject to fortunate influences.
Primarily this lunation denotes ac-
tivity in naval circles and vast expen-
ditures for battleships.
Congress will meet under a sway
foreshadowing session Of extraordi-
nary character. Violent disputes, Bit
ter factional fights, deadlock, and po-
litical disturbances Of various sorts
are indicated.
The death of a leader in debates is
foretold and the disability of other
members of the upper house is prog
nosticated-
In the National Capital, unusual
social conditions will prevail. Bitter
rivalries, gossip and scandal may dis
turb official circles, the seers declare.
Theatres should have period of
prosperity Immediately after the hol-
idav season.
Motion picture organizations come

ulate speculation. Fraud and dis

While Russia is likely to suffer
many reverses, the stars are read as
presaging a lasting alliance between
that country and England.
Persons whose birthday it is may
expect an active and prosperous year.

0VERDRAFTS HAVE
BEEN KNOCKED OUT
SPLENDID SHOWING MADE IN
STATEMENT ISSUED HY THE
MAuRY NATIONAL.

That the Maury National Bank is
rigidly enforcing the new order of
the comptroller of the currency for
bidding overdrafts is shown in the
statement of that bank made as Of
March and published today. The
last statement on Dec. 81 showed
overdrafts of this bank of $5,807.04.
Not only have no overdrafts been a.
lowed since then but the amount out
standing at the last report has been
reduced to the very Insignificant sum
of $715. And this has been done
without the loss Of any business, the
deposits comparing most favorably
with those Of two months ago. In ev-
cry item the statement issued today
shows q marked improvement over
the statement of Dec. 81. The condi-
tion of the bank Is such as to cause
the officers and directors to view con.
ditions with feeling of perfect con.
fidence and optimism. Not only will
the showing made by this bank com
pare favorably with any bank In the
country but 1t proves that conditions
are much better In Maury county than
in many sections of the South, fact
to which The Herald has repeatedly
called attention.

HEALTHY GROWTH
SHOWN BY PHOENIX
STATEMENT SHOWS GAINS IN
EVERY FEATURE DURING
TWO MONTHS.

Rejecting the improved financial
situation locally is the statement
made today by the Phoenix National
Bank. This bank has made quite a
healty gain in it's deposits since the
last statement little over two
months ago and the earnings also
show. during that period, most graf
flying growth. The policy ordered by
the comptroller of the currency with
reference to overdrafts has been. rig
idly followed by this bank with the
results that overdrafts shown on Dec
81 have been almost entirely elimi-
mated. Had the statement been call
ed for a day later this item, it is
stated, would have entirely dSap-
Peared The bank officials have not
only stopped the practice of permit
ting customers to check in excess of
balances but all overdrafts have been
collected The increase in deposits
shows that the new policy, instead of
being detriment to the business of
the bank, has been a positive help
On the whole the bank makes a state
ment that calls for congratulations
from the entire community. 1t is
striking and irrefutable evidence of
the soundness vi the local financial
situation.

he believed that the directors should
exert still greater efforts in inspiring
the farmers to greater production per
acre, and suggested that an agricul-
tural expert be requested to appear
before the board and make an ad
dress along this line. The secretary
was instructed to write J. NJ. Dean

There was considerable discussion
of the best means to be adopted in
