Shylocking Banks.
IN. Y. Worldly

1t is a sharp reply that Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency Williams makes
to the national bankers who chal-
lenged his recent report on usury.
They accused him of doing an injus-
tice to the great majority of bankers"
and asserted that "the practices COM
planned of are confined to some sec
tons and are not general"
Mr.. Williams disposcs of this de-
Tense first by showing that in forty
one of the forty-eight states certain
natioanl banks admit on oath that
they charge ~ per cent or more on
some of their loans, the rate being
legally usurious in twenty-seven of
the states; secondly, that certain ma
tional banks in twenty-five states
admit on oath that they charge 10
per cent or more on loans, and third
ly, that these figures apply to more
than onethird of the national banks.
In the matter of details the Comp
troller of the currency refers to PIG
national banks whose sworn returns
prove that they have been charging
all the way from Is to 100 per cent
interest at a time when the Fed
eral reserve banks were Offering mon
cy to them freely at from 3 1-2 to 5
per cent. The States in which usury
has not appeared in the reports are
Connecticut. Delaware, Mississippi,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Wisconsin. Nine New York
banks confess to the offcnsc.
When one bank in every three is
shylarking, Nh. Williams does no in
justice to the majority of the banks
in asking attention to it. They will
be doing themselves and the people an
injustice if they do not vigorously
support the Comptroller in his eff
orts to end ineXcusable cxtortion.

AN EXPERT DUCK HUNTER

The following was told about a GER

porter, the other day:
Jack and his friend were out hunt
ing. Jack is quite a sportsman now,
but there was once a time when he
didn't know so much about ducks and
things, and on his first shoot thew
carried him down to Codo, Alabama.
His friend noticed that Jack aimed his
gun several times, but did not shoot,

time? The whole flock were right in

A DEMONSTRATORS IN RELIGION.

Last week this paper made few
remarks as to the needs of experts
in the realm of religion and church
management, the same as we now
have in agriculture and other depart
ments - demonstrators whose bust
ness it is to show us and teach us how
to get the best results from labor
and money expended. Now comes n
statement of the Federal Council of
Churches of America, with headauar-
ters at Columbus, Ohio, which con-
firms us in the position taken in our
editorial that there is q crying need
of new moves in new directions. to
save the country churches and town
churches, too, from death and EXITING
ton. This council shows that nine
churches out of every one hundred
disbanded, and became extinct last
year, and many others are going the
same road. AS to the last remedy
proposed all of us will not agree with
this council or accept its recommends
tons. The Virginian, in n well con-
ceived editorial, goes to the root of
the matter, which is published in
another column. Readt it. In it our
own views are expressed better than
we can express them.

THE TWO BLADES.

Who was it that first made that now
famous remark about growing two
blades of grass where only one grew
before? Whoever he was, he said
something. But, how about making
two or n dozen blades grow where
none grew before? Where one blade
grew it is comparatively easy to make
two grow, only little care and a lit
tie more fertilizer and there YOU are.
But to take land too poor or not
adapted, and make grass grow is
something worth while. This is being
done to an extent in Tazewell. and all
over Virginia literally. a few years
ago that Queen of the Clovers, alfal-
Ia, was almost entirely unknown in
many counties of the State. From
small experiment patches there great
heids OF 1t grow now. The acreage in
virginia runs into the thousands
Wherever tried with any thing like
reasonable care, it has succeeded. The
acreage will increase in Tazewcll.
This rich limestone soil is n vcrito.
BILE home of alfalfa. And so. there
are men growing luxuriant grass
where none grew before. These are
oenefactors of the race-pionecrs in
the establishing of new prosne,ity
for the farmer.
