Notwithstanding the fact that the
people of North Carolina invested
more than $110.SOO,000 lin Liberty
Bonds of the first four issues and gave
tremendous sums outright to the vari-
GUS forms of war work and war relief,
deposits in North Carolina banks in.
creased fifty-seven per cent during the
two years of January /, 1917, to Jan.
uary l, 1919.
These record breaking deposits have
been reported by the banks of North
Carolina to the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond, the amount of money in
current, or circulating, accounts and
in saving deposits being far in excess
of anything ever before experienced in
the history of banking in the state.
Comparative figures just completed,
show. that from January l, 1917, to
January /, 1919, the total volume Of
the deposits in the North Carolina
banks increased more than $72,040,-
900.
One OF the features of the reports
filed by the banks is the remarkable
increase shown in saving deposits.
This is not by any means confined to
North Carolina but is true of the
banks throughout the Fifth Federal
Reserve District and, indeed. all over
the United States. In North Carolina
the amount of money to the credit Of
savings accounts increased more than
$14,703.000 within the period given
above, or 1885 per cent. There are
537 banks in the Old North State.

Overthrow of Government.

New York, Dec. 11.-Radical agita-
ton in this country with its resultant
social unrest is not due to economic
conditions, but to an organized, artifi-
cially stimulated movement under the
inspiration of the Russian soviet gov
eminent.
This opinion will be submitted TO
the New York legislature in an exhaus-
tive report by the joint legislative
committee, which has been investigat-
ing activities here since its %Organiza-
ton last May, 1t was learned.
Three big groups of the radical ele-
ment have been supplying the forces
for wholesale dissemination Of bolshe-
visit propaganda throughout the length
and breadth Of the land, the report
will assert. The anarchist group, In
Guiding the Union Of Russian Workers
and other organizations; the %syndical-
list group, the main body Of which are
the Industrial Workers of the World,
and the communist group, including
the Communist Party of America and
the Communist Labor party.
In each Of these groups the over
throw of government by illegal means,
including violence, Is the weapon
urged upon the masses, the report will
state.
New York city Is one of the big
headquarters for the organized move
ment, according to the report, with
Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and virtu-
ally every industrial center from the
Atlantic to the Pacific harboring q
headquarters for the radical cam
paign.
In the six months of the committees

tically every nook and Granny in

try had it's nest. Hundreds Of arrests
have been made on information fur

indictments for criminal anarchy have
been returned on data procured and

STATE TO ACT TO GET RID OF THE
 WELL KNOWN MULES

PHOENIX, April 17.-The Com mission of state institutions announc- ed today 1t had sent A. A. Johns, of Prescott, a letter and resolution of the commission resembling a con tract entered into for the purchase of mules and road equipment from the Aubrey Investment Company of which Johns was secretary-treasurer The commissions letter calls on the company to name place where it will receive the property and re- serves the right to take further ac- ton on account of money paid, food furnished and other possible exper. ses.
 The total purchase price is said to be in excess of $22,000 and the mules were valued at $400 per span. A claim for a second payment of Sl0.367 was recently rejected. The first claim of $3000 was paid last De cember when the contract was made.
