The Copsty Savings Bank clos
ed tbs doors at noon today. The
Bank falls the first victim of the
"deflation" which is sweeping the
country. The Bank is amply SOL
vent; that is, it has assets suf-
hcient to pay all its debts, but in
ability to realize on its papers,
causes it to be unable to meet the
demands on it as they mature.
Being a new bank it is without
established credit and the officers
of the bank at meeting this
morning decided to close the
doors of the institution and turn
the Bank over to the Bank Ex-
aminer for such action as may be
advisable. Whether the Bank will
go into the hands of a receiver,
or whether it may be rehabilita-
ted and enabled to go on cannot
yet be told.
The County Savings Bank was
organized last fall. The capital
stock is about $4,000. 1t owns
the beautiful bank building in
which it has been engaged in bus
mess since its opening. The Of
fcers of the Bank are DR.. c. A.

MILL HEADS SEE
WAGE REDUCTION
TEXTILE MANUFACTURERS REP
REsENTING IS PER CENT OF
THE COTTON AND WOOLEN
INDUSTRY OF NEW ENGLAND
AND NEW YORK STATE, AN
NOUNCE THAT THE TIME HAS
COME TO REDUCE

Boston, Dec. "a wage reductlon
of 22 1-2 per cent in textile mills IN
New England and New York state
was forecast today in statement is
sued after a conference of textile
manufacturers Approximately rs per
cent of the industry in this section
representing makers Of both cotton
and woolen products, was represented
at the conference. The industry en-
ploys 100000 persons.
Such a reduction, according to the
statement, weuld bring the wage
schedules back apace to the tlgures
that existed year ago and would
leave the wage standards generally
more than double those of 1915.
The present stagnant condition OF
the extile industry made considera-
tion of a wage reduction necessary
it was stated. After explaining that
all sections of New England, as wei!
as New York state, were represented
bv the manufacturers who took part
in the conference, the statement said
"It is evident from what has trans
pired in the past few months that
there has been an insistent and COM
pelling demand on the part OF the
public that the cost of living should
be lessened by readjustment OF the
prices of commodities entering into
the expense of daily life. This de-
mand has been, and B, countrywide,
and it becomes the duty of all those
interested in industries which affect
Immediately the cost of living to give
serious consideration to this subject.
Manufacturers have been reluct-
ant to make any radical changes IN
wages because of its effect at time
when there has seemed to be so lit
tie willingness on the part OF the re-
taller to do business on a lower basis
of price.
"But conditions have recently come
about whereby this situation has been
materially affected and prices OF ar
ticles entering into the cost OF living
have been reduced to considerably
extent. Now that the process, OF re-
adjustment hsa operated in the wage
earner's favor, and living costs are
still further to be lessened as the pre-
sent low prices of raw materials are
reflected in retail costs, the manufac-
turer can properly take some action
to lessen the labor cost involved in
production.
'The refusal Of buyers to purchase
goods for the past four or five months
ON a high basis of cost has led to q
stagnation of the markets upon which
the manufacturers depend so that at
the present time many of the textile
mills in New England have been OBJ
liged to shut down; many more are
working on short time and unless
something is done to remedy these
conditions unemployment will be in
creased and continue.

Washington, Dec. 9-Rear Admiral
Samuel J. MCGOWAN has resigned as
paymaster general and chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts OF
the navy and has retired from active
duty, it was learned today. His res
ignation has been accepted by Pres
ldent Wilson to take effect December
81. The admiral retired under the
20 year clause affecting bureau chiefs
passed by congress last year.
Admiral MCGOWAN has been pay
master general of the navy since
July /, 1914, a period of service as
chief of the bureau of supplies and
accounts only exceeded twice in the
history of the service. He was charg-
ed during the war with the task of
providing the navy with supplies OF
all descriptions and since the war
the great surplus of stocks has been
disposed of under his direction.
Admiral MCGOWAN entered the navy
in 1894 from South Carolina and at
tanned the rank of rear admiral in
1916 He will probably be succeeded
oy Rear Admiral C. j. Peoples, who
will act as chief of the bureau prob
ably until March 4.

ADMIRAL MCGOWAN
WILL RETIRE SOON
In Recognition of Service During
War-Resigns as Chief of Bu-
resu Of Supplies and Ac-
counts, Effective De-
cember 81.

Washington, Dec. 9.-In recogni-
ton of his signal services during the
European war, President Wilson and
Secretary Daniels have consented to
the request of Rear Admiral Samuel
MCGOWAN that he be permitted to re.
tire.
The admiral, who is one of the
most prominent and popular South
Carolinians in Washington, has also
resigned as chief of the bureau of
supplies and accounts, his resigna-
ton being effective December 81,
1920.
During the 7s years this bureau
has existed, only two officers have
served longer as it's chief than Ad-
miral MCGOWAN. One of these served
during and after the Confederate
war and the other before, during and
after the Spanish-American war.
Admiral MCGOWAN established a
during the European war
which was recognized even in Eu-
rope. He was decorated by several
foreign countries for his faithfulness
and great ability in discharging the
duties of his office. AS chief of the
bureau of supplies and accounts he
instituted many innovations which
increased the efficiency Of the depart
ment and reduced its expenses
With the secretary of the navy,
it is said that no other officer is more
popular than Admiral MCGOWAN, and
that he permitted the retirement only
because of the fact that in following
the request of the admiral, he could
prove his appreciation of service and
merit.
It is understood that several lucra-
tive positions will be open to Admi-
raj MCGOWAN when his resignation is
effective.
Admiral MCGOWAN is a native OF
Laurens and is an alumnus of the
University of South Carolina.

NEW YORK RING
CAUSED SLUMP,
WILLIAMS SAYS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-"Uunjus-
tifable interest exacted on demand
loans" by New York city banks has
been an active contributing cause
Of the huge shrinkage" in all secur-
ity values during the past years,
Comptroller of the Currency Will
liams declared tonight in a formal
statement He charged that call mon
ey rates in New York were the high
est in the world and that 'renewaP'
rates fixed daily by small "coter1e"
Of stock exchange brokers governed
"the interest charged on brokers'
loans in nearly all New York banks
"The raising or lowering of the re-
newal rates on the exchange" said
Mr.. Williams, sis frequently accom-
panied by upward or downward move
ments in stocks and securities. and
those responsible for the fixing Of
the rate, therefore, have the oppor-
tunity, whether exercised or not, Of
profiting largely by operations on the
stock market. which is so often and
directly affected by the call money
situation. I do not, of course, I'M
dertake to say that this formal mon
ey committee does take improper adj
vantage Of their foreknowledge but
there are critics who severely CEN
sure the existing arrangements.
Grip on Heart Of Commerce
Power to fix money rates for all
or nearly all, of the banks in New
York city, and to change them daily
is a grip on the heart of our COM
merce. 1t permits such interferences
as fallible human judgment, whtm
or interest may direct with the nat
ural and orderly movements of mon
ey, the life blood of business. The
matter Of arbitrary fixing money
rates at the money center, possibly
reversing the natural and healthy
flow and affecting, directly or tndi-
rectly, billions Of dollars of security
values and other property, is left to
small and varying number Of pr1-
vate citizens without official respon-
sibility, deciding in a moment and
in secret.

Lang, with several other fisher

escaped.
