BANK ASSETS OF
COUNTY DOUBLE
THOSE or 9I|4
DEPOSITS ARE ALSO TWICE
WHAT THEY WERE IN FORMER
PERIOD OF DEPRESSION.
NO REASON FOR ANY PESSIMISM
Financial Situation Is In Every Re.
spect Markedly Better Than It Was
at the Time OF the Former Low
Prices for Cotton.

That Maury county is not only alb
solutely sound financially, but that il
has assets much larger than ever be
fore IS proven by comparison of the
bank statements of the banks of Co,
lumbia made recently and those made
by them in the fall of 1914.
This is the first financial stringency
or business depression that the county
has known since the beginning of
the European war in the fall of 1914,
The cotton market was Just as badly
demoralized then as it is now. The
staple sold as low as five cents a
pound and there was no demand for
Maury county mules. Other products
were similarly depressed.
But in 1874 the banks of Columbia
had combined assets of only $2,3334-
1l0.S7. According to statements pub
lished as of November 10, last they
had combined assets of $4.0777,SJ9.49
or a gain of million and three-quar.
ters of dollars.
In the fall of 1914 the combined de-
posits of the banks of Columbia were
only $1,2S6,322. 80. BY their last state,
ments this had more than doubled
and the aggregate deposits of the
banks were $2,692, ,739.O7.
The exact figures for the four coun-
try banks. those of Santa Fe, Culleoka.
Spring Hill and Hampshire and the
two banks at Mt Pleasant are not
available for the two periods covered,
but it is known that their combined
assets and combined deposits have
made the same rate Of growth record
ed by the banks of Columbia so that
the banking capital and deposits of
the county have doubled in the past
six years.
During the period between 1914 and
1920 there was a decrease in the pop.
ulation of the county, but assuming
that it was the same in both periods
30, 1000. the wealth of the county as
measured in bank assets has doubled
per capita. The aggregate bank as
sets of the county are around five and
a half million dollars as compared
with less than three millions six years
ago
These figures show that there is alb,
solutely no justification for the people
here taking a gloomy view of the stu.
alton. There will be some losses by
reason of readjustment of the value
of the dollar. AS its purchasing pow
er increases of course values will de-
cline and there will be losses. but the
fact remains that the banking re-
sources of the county are Just twice
what they were six years ago and that
there will be double the number of dol
lars for Ilse in business that there
were in, the former period of business
depression. .....

MANY AT NEW YORK MILLS.


The Midsummer celebration at
New York Mills, Mimi. has attracted
large number of range residents
for the festivities which began on
June 26th and ended on June 10Th.
Thousands of people from the north
west were there to attend the annual
celebration of the Finnish people of
this country. The custom of cele-
brating midsummer has been handed
down from many countries of Europe
and affords the people of several
lands chance to get together and
enjoy a few days with celebrations
and festivities.

didate for endorsement of Minnesota
for the nomination for governor, j.
A. o. Preus and Henrik Shipstead,
both recently candidates for the
| Republican nomination for governor
were all on the program for addresses
during the celebration. Picnic
lunches, vocal music, races, parades
dances and other features of amuse.
ments contributed to the pleasures
of the occasion. 1t was calculated
to be one of the biggest gatherings
with the greatest program that these
people have ever arranged in thi!
country. Those who went were

same state. This spasm was caused
by the lynching of the three negroes
at Duluth. For the benefit of Sorg
we will state that the trains are still
running out of Minnesota and that
he can go to-----for all we care.
Coming as it does from Minneapolis,
where an unchecked saturnalia of
crime has held sway for years and
where women and young girls are
murdered weekly; where banks and
stores are daily held up and robbed;
where the police and whiskey toters
are in league and where thousands
and one other crimes are committed
far more heineus that the lynching of
a trio of black rapists and where no
one has ever been caught, the squawk
is good one.

Now that the Democratic press and
Independent Ia gum-shoe name for
straddle bug) press of the country
has finished telling what a weak
candidate the Republican convention
nominated in Harding, they can turn
their attention to their own party,
and fill their sheets with glowing
tributes to the candidate to be
named at San Francisco. One thing
is strangely noticeable in the actions
of the press aforementioned. Not
single line of the praise given the
nominee by the prominent men of the
United States has been printed in
these papers but every knock by the
politician who failed to land in the
middle has been played up to the
limit.
