BANKS Of u UA8Il
SURPASS ALL RECORDS
TOTAL LARGER THAN EVER BE.
FORE IN THE HISTORY OF
THE CITY.
STATEMENTS ARE GRATIFYING
Combined Resources Amount to Near.
y Three Millions Of OoiIars With
the Deposits Reaching a Million and
Three Quarters.

Columbia's two national banks on
"Wednesday published the best state
ments that they have ever made.
Their resources are larger than ever
before and NO such deposits ever
were recorded as are contained in
these statements. For the first time
In its long and honorable history the
Aaury National Bank attained and
passed the mark of its ambition. one
million dollars OF deposits. Its re-
sources likewise lowered beyond the
million and half mark.
The Phoenix National Bank chron-
icles resources of more than a million
and hundred thousand. likewise a
new record for that more youth in
sutution. It's deposits are two thirds
of a million of dollars. 1t has now
huilded its surplus to a point where
within the year 1t will attain a place
on the roll of honor, that is surplus
equal to capital.
These banks will compare with any
In the land for progress and for solid
strength. Their statements show too
that they have been doing their duty
by the country in its crisis.
The combined resources Of these
two national banks reach to almost
100000. Their combined deposits
are more than million and three
quarters of dollars. This is more than
the deposits Of all the banks in Maury
sounty few short years ago.

HILARY COMES BACK

II there were those in Nashville,
who after the defeat Of Hilary for
mayor, fancied that Howse and his
old gang were eliminated from the
Eaolitics OF the capital city they have
agnother thought coming to them. The
result of the recent primary was a
decided triumph for the slate of the
willy ex-mayor. In practically every
contest his choice was the victor.
Davidson county and Nashville
have occasional spasms of reform but
sthAy do not last long. The people, or
La majority OF them there have pro-
hibition purely under compulsion.
They do not like the law and they
have no affection for the custer law.
They have made that plain because
they have entrusted the execution Of
these laws to those who have moth
ting but loathing and contempt for
them. They have chosen for sheriff
n man under custer sentence for
Failure to do his sworn duty. They
defeated brave and courageous
Judge who dared to apply the custer
law remerselessly.
The so-called liberal element, the
professionals in the politics of the
large cities, are always busy. They
keep constantly on the job. For
them there is no rest. Neither wars
nor rumors Of war affect their activ-
tiles. 1t is constant effort with
them to obtain the offices. On the
eather hand the average citizen, 10
Inc wakes up at all, does so only about
ten days in every two years, to the
1sct that government Is just what a
majority Of the people desire. He
does not concern himself very much
about the offices or the character Of
men who hold them. When he goes
ito battle with the professional he has
about the same chance that a mob
would have with company Of Per-
ashing's trained regulars.
There is one consolation, II the
people of Davidson county can stand |
It surely those of the other counties |
Of the state can do SO. They have |
deliberately made their bed. Now |
let them lie on it. The surprising |
feature of the Nashville campaign |
was the support that erstwhile cham
pions OF law and decency gave to the
forces Of Hilary.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July %
German papers freely comment on
the kaiser's conferences with parlia
mentary leaders and are treated by
them generally as an earnest of his
new determination to cultivate and
maintain closer relations with parlia
ment. At the meeting which was
held Saturday, according to the Voss
iche Zeitung, the kaiser described the
submarine campaign as working be
lions and bringing nearer England'i
early destruction while at the same
time making almost hamless the
attempted entrance of the United
States into the war. Complete de
struction of England as a world power
he told them was sure.

war and peace council is to be ere
ated which it is proposed to have com

sentatiFes of the, imperial govern
meant and of the federated states"
This is reported to have been the
first time that the kaiser had met
