actually produce nothing, but live by


manipulating the products Of others.
The report of the comptroller of the
currency shows that four or five times
as much money was loaned to nation
al banks in New York and Chicago, in
proportion to their resources, on bills
payable and rediscounts, as to all of
| the country banks in proportion to
their resources.
most just and scientific plan Of finance
yet devised by human thought, but in
it's administration the most rapacious
and autocratic with which our people
Beck was talking about ''the rebellion
against all constituted authorities" he
seems blind to the cruel and fragrant
violation of the spirit of this law, by
those so highly placed as to be above
law and immune to punishment.
The banks where there was no dis
tress were lavishly supplied with
money and credit, while the country
banks were ham strung.
The products of their customers were
forced en- bloc on a declining market
Our cotton fell from 43 to s cents,
rendering the collateral worthless to
protect advances by the country
banks.
Mr. John Shelton Williams, ex-
Comptroller Of the currency deserves
the thanks Of all good citizens for his
splendid courage in exposing this in
justice and holding its authors up to
public reprobation. In his testimony
before the congressional committee, he
said -four or five large banks in New
York and Chicago were borrowing
from the Federal Reserve as much as
four or five thousand banks in west
ern and southern sections embracing
q great agricultural states. In rep.y-
ing to Mr.. Williams the chairman of
the board, beclouded the issue by
stating that in October, 1920, the board
did grant s712,OOO,00O of discounts,
600 600 Of this was dispersed through
those same New York and Chicago
banks. In addition to this the official
figures will show that four banks in
New York, were loaned twice as much
as the maximum amount loaned at any
one time on agricultural products in
the whole United States in 1920.
Mr. williams also states that the
banks were carrying two
billion more paper than New York,
Chicago and st. Louis combined. What
sinister purpose could have inspired
piling up practically all Of the money
Of the country in these. large cities,
except to force defiation at the expense
Of Agricultural,
Your state is purely agricultural
and your banks and farmers were hit
with the balance Of US. Your political
opponents are taking advantage of
general condition to attack your state
bank and other institutions, instead Of
supporting them. l believe your peo-
pie are too intelligent to be deceived by
such rot. l do not think l know
man in public life, in whose honesty
and patriotism I have more confidence
than Gov. Frasier.
With kindest regards and sincere
wishes for your success.
Yours truly,
Jno. Lowndes McLaurin.

EGYPTIAN LIFE IN ESAU'S DAY
Excavators Made a Great "Find" il
March, 1920.

Visitors to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum in New York will find in the
/ Egyptian department a rare collec-
tion Of objects taken from one of the
Theban tombs in March, 1920. The
Egyptian expedition of the museum
was about to end Il rather fruitless
year when workmen who were remov-
| ing debris from the tomb of Mchenk-
wetrc, a steward of the royal house
hold at Thebes in the eleventh dy-
rasty, uncovered crack opening in
to a secret chamber that for four
thousand years has escaped the sharp
eyes of archaeologists. When they
opened the chamber they found that
it was crammed with myriads Of
little statuettes of meH and of animals,
sawed from wood and brightly paint
ed. They represented the spirits at
tendant on the spirit of Mehenkwetre,
whose image is conspicuous among
those of his servants.
In Mehenkwetre' time it was the
custom when anyone died to place in
such q chamber n statute of the dead
man and beside it a few figures OF SER
wants at their daily t;.sks, eternally
preparing food and drink for the dead
owner of the tomb. Thee had been
small finds of that kind before, but
none so interesting. Mencnkwetre
was a man Of great wealth and power,
and in order to duplicate the bounti-
full existence he had led he had during
his lifetime supplied himself with the
largest collection OF models that has
yet been found.
The models depict minutely the
daily life of the Egyptians who lived
when Jacob and Esau were playing
at their mothers knee. Among the
objects are little images of stall-fed
oxen and model of a slaughter
house with the cattle trusscd and
thrown on the ground and the head
butcher and his assistants standing
by. There is n sran2ry in which
clerks with their paprus rolls and
tablets are keeping the accounts while
two men scrape up the wheat In
measures and load it into sacks and
carry it upstairs 10 dump into capa-
ciuus bins. There is also u ca:"en-
ter shop in which men are working
on beams and planks
Among the most interesting OF the
models are those of OK boats and their
passengers and crews as they moved
I'D and down the Nile in that distant
day, two thousand years before Christ
was born. TIE boats arc about four
feet long, and the statuettes are eight
or nine inches high. The boats are
manned by from twelve to eighteen
sailors besides the helmsman, bow
man and captain. In each boat Me-
Eenkwetre is at his ease, in some
cases smelling n lotus bud, with MS
son on one side and on the other
singer. who is patting his mouth with
hi: hand to give his voice warbling
sound. A spirit of humorous fidelity
inspired the man who made the boats.
In the cabin of one sits n stcward be-
side bunk, under which ere tucked
two little rourd-toppcd travelling
trunks much like those in use gen.
Grafton ago.
The carving of the little figures is
scarcely on a high arctic plane, but
the maker has shown observation, and
with the brlliancy of the color there
is a liveliness and cheerfulncss about
them that much of the more formal
Egyptian work lacks. BY Egyptian
law one half of the find remains at
Carlo.

French Grand Prix Winner
in Race at Uniontown

Special Despatch TO THE New York HERALD.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, Sept. 3.-"Jimmy
Murphy shall not win" eeems to be the
slogan of the fourteen other drivers en-
tered in the Uniontown Speedway 225
mile Labor Day race. The daring
youngster who showed the rear of his
car to the European speed kings in the
French Grand Prix classic over the Le-
mans circuit three weeks ago may be a
great favorite with the public. but he is
not popular with the daredevil pilots
who did not go to France for the great
est of all foreign events.
The cold brutal truth, IL 1t must be
told. is that the other star pilots are
heart broken over the outcome of the
race and their failure to go over and
take the sporting chance that Murphy
embraced. But neither Milton. Sarles
Hearne, Mulford nor the other stars
thought that an American had chance
in the great race. And yet Jimmy Muir
ply romped home twenty minutes ahead
of the next competitor.

PERFECT DlME+NOVEL HERO
Thomas StukeIy Peer of Any of the
Adventures Who FIourished
Under Good Queen Bess.

A career so lurid and impregnated
With dime novel atmosphere has
scarcely ever been seen outside the
covers of the penny dreadfuls as fell
to the lot of Thomas Stukely as it ran
the gamut from matrimOny to piracy,
fnterSpersed with dashing, gallant and
fearless bravery which has caused his
name to be remembered when many a
better man has sunk to oblivion. Stuke-
ly was an adventurer by nature. His
mother was Irish and of a very
good family, and it is said that he
could claim as his father Henry VIII
of England. Stukely acquired a
great fortune by marrying lady of
wealth and proceeded Immediately to
spend It with the greatest dispatch.
Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruff
fed it with Raleigh and the best( of
them at the court of Queen Eliza
beth. His first chimerical scheme was
to found a kingdom for himself in
Florida. Then he went to Ireland and
gained considerable influence over
Shane O'Neill, the most powerful of
the native chieftains, helping him to
gain decisive battle. Stukely never
gave up his career as merchant and
still retained ships which, under the
suise of peaceful traders, committed in
famous piracies. On being discov-
cred he went to Spain as a grapdee
and thence to Rome. At the great
raval battle of Lepantc he commanded
one of the papal ships.-Chicago

FRANCE E. WILLARD MUSEUM
Little SchooIhouse Near GAINESVILLE,
Wis, Dedicated to Memory of
Great Temperance Leader.

Log cabins and marble palaces,
courthouses and round towers are now
and again turned into museums in the
memory of some historic person. More
rarely the building is a schoolhouse,
but such is the case with the new
Frances e. Willard museum. The lit
tie country schoolhouse near James
vile, Wis, has recently been dedicated
by followers of the American temper
ance leader, among them former pu-
pills of Miss Wizards in Wesleyan
seminary and at Northwestern univer-
sity, and national officers of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union. The
schoolhouse is far from imposing. Miss
Willard referred to it once as "a sort
of big ground-nut," but it symbolizes
the progress of a child who came into
a wilderness with her pioneer family,
and through her good work gained a
place for herself in the Hall of Fame
at Washington, the only woman SO
honored.

so far as the printers were concerned,
mere hack work and anti-climax.
And as they later declared, under

more than three words in five of her

it. Besides, what did it matter if a
little bit was left out at the end of
one or two of the lines? They couldn't
be expected to run the lines out over
their margin, could they? And they
never knew anything crazier than
maxim all this fuss because: What
if some of it wasn't printed just ex-
actly right, who in the world was goin'
to notice it, and what was the diff
ference of just few words different
in her ole. poem, anyhow?
