MOST VALUABLE ASSET.

The most valuable asset of any state
and nation is its people. The wisest
financiering is that which will save the
people from drunkenness, poverty and
crime and all the natural products
of the liquor traffic. A state or nation
can make no mistake even from
monetary standpoint in dissociating It,
self from such usiness.-Lillian M

EVERYONE PLEASED WITH THE MINISTRIES

Practically the entire town turned out to hear the Gate-City Minstrels last Friday night in spite of the extremely bad weather, and every one was delighted with the show. The entertainment was excellent from first to last and credit to those participating and to the town.
 All of the solos took we'll and the chorus work was particularly good. The overture by the Barnes Orchestra set high standard that was kept turnout. The artistic accompaniments by the Orchestra had much to do with the success of the event.
 The End men and the Interlocu- tor filled their parts particularly we'll. The, jokes were fresh and their acting and impersonation of the colored men were worthy of professionals.
 Mrs. Lees solo delighted the audience and the music and danc- ing by the Street Singers main tained the high standard of the entertainment. The Gate City quartette was there with the har- mony, too.
 The movie comedy poss essed the usual humor of these but did not outshine the Minstrels.
 As for the colored contingent in the gallery with their "a ucious applause and their mammoth bouquets and favors showered upon the minstrels, nothing could have added more to the evenings scream.
 It is additionally gratifying to know that the entertainment was a decided financial success. The public has no regrets over there being g deficit in the lyceum course funds, Since they have this deficit to thank for the Gate City enter tainm ent.

SUIT AGAINST THE
 TREASURY DEPARTMENT

The Riggs National Bank of Washington D. C., has created a sensation by filing suit against the Secretary of the Treasury, the Assistant secretary, and the Con- troller of the Currency. The Trea- sury department has the right by law, and does exercise a strict Gu- pervision over affairs of the nation al bank. The Riggs National Bank fatly refused to furnish in- formation called for by the Treas ury Department and that depart ment notified them of the imposi- ton of fine of one hundred doll ars per day, until the information is furnished This brought on the suit. The Treasury Department is entitled information concerning all the affairs and transactions of Ma tional Banks. They have found that the directors and president and vice-president have been in- dulging in questionable transac- tions with the deposit money of the bank. While this bank is a very strong one, and Is overwhelm- ingly solvent the practice, com- plained of would lead to its insol-
 vency if permitted to go on un- checked by the Treasury Depart
 ment. The Riggs National Bank of Washington, D. C., is directly connected with the National City Bank of New York, which is no doubt partly at least if not wholly ipstigated by the Standard Oil Co.,, and they evidently want to show that they are, more powerful than the Federal Government. When the Republicans were in power the Riggs National Bank had one of their own clerks seated right in the Office of the treasury Dep artment where he obtained exclusive infor- nation at first hand for the benefit of the Standard Oil interests. The first thing that Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, did when he en- tered the Office was to order the Riggs, clerks out of the Treasury Department, and this was really the beginning of the fight between tbe Treasury Department and the Oil Co.,. and incidently the Riggs National Bank.

CREAT0RE AND BAND
 0F FIFTY PIECES

An event in the musical world of this city will be the appearance of Sig. Creatore and his band. If Creatore could describe the force which emanates from him when he takes the baton he might be able to answer the question: What is genius? No one can tell what it is, but everyone feels that Creatore has it. The spirit of it travels over the house, electri6es every member of the band and makes people in the audience shout with pleasure and tremble with appreciation. The Asheville Citizen last February said: "Wizard of the Baton is Great Creatore. Musical triumph last night atthe auditorium. Peer less leader proves claim that he has the finest band in the world. Proving beyond all question his claim to superiority the great Crea- tore delighted two large audiences at the Auditorium yesterday after noon and evening. It is no ex- aggeration to state that no band artist who has ever visited Ashe- vile created such~a lasting and favorable impression as did this magnificent leader of a matchless organization. While Creatore has mannerisms decidely individual, he is magnetic and passionate and his fervent spirit communicated itself to his players and to his audience. His band rendered musical pro- gram of the highest excellence and of wide range. Grasses and reeds v1ed with each other in rare phras- ing and delicate expression, and the audience was at times carried away by the emotions of the music which mounted to the dome of the big Auditorium"

IN MEMORIAL


 befallen the village of Williams than the death of William F. Der mont which occurred last Tuesday morning. The limited time afford ed does not permit me to give any adequate summary of his life or es-. innate of his character.
 He was born in Detroit, Mich igan May 26th, 1851. His first business experience was obtained in the general merchandise busi- ness and later years were spent among the lumber camps and mills of lower Michigan where he learned every department of the lumber business to the great est degree of thoroughness. In August of 1900 he became gen. eral manager of the local lurn- Der company, then a struggling business and was later made President. During the fifteen years of his, residence here he has developed the local plant un- til it now stands as one of the largest and best equipped in the Southwest. In September of 1912 he became vice president, and a director of the newly or ganized Williams State Bank and has done much to increase the. efficiency of that organization.
 He gave his time and enc rgy to his business to very unusual degree and has really occupied a position that could hardly be filled by any other one man. He knew the lumber business from the stump to the market. His capacity for hard work was astonishing. As a tired man welcomes the night of rest and the promise of a glad morning, so came the end of a busy day.
 Yet business was not the total of his life. No one was a more. affectionate husband and father. No one loved the flowers and the children than he. No one was a truer friend. In fact it was the bigness of his life and character that impressed us all. There was no place for petty things. The writer remembers so many times going into that private office with worried mind and coming out with light heart because of sane council and a bigger outlook on life. The same quality of his character made him always thoroughly honest. There could be no sham.
 With all the work that crowd ed on his desk, his actions were characterized by deliberateness hat gave one a feeling of abso- ute safety. He always had lime to advise with his employees ,n matters which did not per ain to business and his advice vas always wholesome. He was 70 well informed on such a va 'iety of matters; his reading must have been prodigious.
 A number of his men had been n his employ for almost a quar- CT of a century and it was the mutual confidence felt and ex-. 'ressed on both sides that made he machinery of the business nove without the loss that comes rom friction.
 The life of the little village yill go on but we will miss a indly smile on the streets, a enial laugh in our social gath rings,,a "a devout and regular ,orshiper at the church and a. enerous giver in times of need, ut we still have noble exam, le, controlling force. life nmOrtal.
