REPORT SHOW BANKS
SAFE AND PROSPEROUS

Washington, d, c. Some idea
Of the stability of the national
banking system during the past
six years is gathered from a
series of charts recently sent to
the banks of the country by the
Comptroller Of the Currency.
These charts show the growth
in resources, deposits and capl-
tai, Of the more than seven
thousand banks of the country;
their increased stability and ap-
parent immunity from failure,
and an increase in their net an
nual earnings to approximately
3340, 900, 900 per annum.
In the period from 1874 to
1900 the highest net earnings
for all the national banks of the
country was approximately So
100000, in the last mentioned
year. In the period between
1900 and 1915 their earnings had
reached $4,000, 900, the pre-
vious high marks being Sl69,-
600, 900 in 1906; $l60, 600, 900 in
1911; and $l65. 1000, 900 in 1913.
The net annual earnings rose
from $3.50, 100000 in 1915 to
Sl6O, 900, 200 in 1916; Sl95, ,OOO,-
600 in 1917; 5000, 600 in 1918
and attained the high water
mark with $24O, 366, 900 on July
|, 1919.
The resources of national
banks inardase approximately
ten billion in the forty-year per-
iod between February, 1874,
and:January 1914. rising from
sI,8OS. sol 60 $II, 296. S55 on the
latter date. In the period from
January. 1914 to June 80, 1913
they rose to 500, ,799, 800. 600.
Over the same periods the capt.
tai surplus of national banks in.
creased from approximately $500
100000 in 1874 to 1926. "55, l3s
in 1914. and from then to date
they have grown to SIS. 924, 1865,
900. Deposits have risen tC
S2,363, 478,000 since 1900.
In the period from 1874 tt
1893 bank failures were l7.6 o.
the banks each year. Between
1894 and 1918 the hank failures
averaged sixteen each year, al
average of one failure every z
days over the entire double per
iod of forty years. In l9l'
there were eight failures; onl,
five in 1916: but three for eacI
year in 1916 and 1917 and onl
one in all of 1918 and eleve
months of 1919.
Remember democrat cor
gress enacted the banking law
under which it is impossible TO
Wall street to cause a panic.

THREE GUBERNAT0RIAL
CANDIDATES IN OFFERING
Humphreys, Rodgers and Casteel Are
Mentioned.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 1.-THE re-
suit of the recent congressional cleo
ton which is taken to be the index
to the trend of political events in
Mississippi, is already bearing fruit,
according to the various interperta-
tons thereof. Three very likely can
didates for governor are already
spoken of: Hon. B. G. Humphreys of
Washington, DR.. S. l.. Rodgers of
Holmes and Hon. II. H. Casteel of
Holmes. Mr.. Humphreys has been for
a number of years congressman from
the Third or Delta District. DIR.
Rogers is the present state treasurer
and Mr., Casteel is lieutenant COVER
nor Mr.. Humphreys has a strong
record to back him. Mr..
Casteel has a legislative record and
the prestige of his position as lieuten-
ant governor. DR.. Rogers is well
known as a member Of the medical
profession, Of the class known as "the
country doctor"
The result Of che congressional cleo
tons is variously interpreted accord
ing to the political viewpoint Of the
interpreter. Generally speaking, the
elections are construed as a break
ing up of fractional lines and are hail
ed as indicating the dawn Of new
era in politics in this state.

TRIBUTE TO THE LATE
s. NJ. GODBEE

It seems appropriate That mere
than a passing notice should be given
Of the departure Of this exemplary
citizen and we'll known Christian gen
tleman.
At the early age Of zixtcsa yeara
he volunteered for military service in
Co. H, 9Th Miss. Regt. Of Cavalry and
served to the end, being paroled at
Gainesville, Ala, May -, 1865.
1t has been said that the test Of
ones patriotism is applied when in the
active participation Of war, with its
varying conditions Of safety and
danger, victory and defeat. Judged
BY that standard, COmrade Goddess
record IS worthy Of high commenda-
ton; for whether on the march,
through heat or cold, in the security
Of camp or on the battlefield, he was
the same calm, confident soldier. Then
IN the trying days Immediately fol-
lowing the war he was relied upon to
discharge any duty required of a pat
riot in that momentous period when
the very foundation of our Southern
civilization was in danger.
Also in the peaceful walks Of life he
was alike conspicuous as friend and
ever willing to help by word
Or deed in every work looking to the
oetterment Of society and the adj
sancement of the cause of religion.
And when, after long life Of gentle
usefulness, the final summons come,
i found him ready, and in that trium-
Dhant faith which characterizes the
Christians departure as one of peace,
ne passed to the other side and to an
into higher joys than earth
IAN bestow.

leaving with his family today for Col
umbus, Miss, where he will make his
home in the future. Mr.. Raworth and
his associates sometime ago acquired
a controlling interest in the Tombig-
bee Cotton Mill at Columbus. Mr..
Raworth will be president and treas
urer of the mill and will actively
supervise ard manage the corpora
ton. Mr.. Raworth and his associates
have also obtained an option on an
other mill near Columbus which they
expect to exercise in the near future.
"For the past fourteen years Mr..
Raworth has been president Of the
Sibley Mfg. Co. He became connect
ed with this corporation in 1881 as
paymaster and was with the company
continuously until recently. As presi-
dent of the Sibley mill Mr.. Raworth
organized women operatives to at
tend to their work without being wor-
ried over the welfare of their chill
dren. Every year the children Of the
mill operatives were Mr.. Raworth's
guests at Christmas tree.
Few people have attained greater
prominence than Mr.. Raworth in the
commercial, social, and political life
of Augusta. In addition to his cop
nection at the Sibley Mill he, for years
conducted successfully a mercantile
business in West End and for years
was president and treasurer of the
