CRISP BILLLDON
RESERVE SYSTEM
Proposes Limitation OF
interest Rate To 5
Per Cent

Congressman Chas. r. Crisp, of
this district, has introduced in con-
gress a bill limiting the rate of in
terest to be charged by federal re-
serve banks to 5 per cent. This is
subject which has been widely dis
cussed, it having been argued last
fall ana spring that the arbitrary in
creaSlng of interest rate by the re
serve board compelled the tremen-
dous liquidation which has been so
disastrous first to farmers and next
to all business. The text of the bill,
which is unusually short, follows:
"A bill to limit rate of interest
chargeable to federal reserve banks
to per centum per annum.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and
house of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con
gress assembled, That after the pas
sage of this Act the maximum. rate
of interest which the twelve reserve
banks of the Federal Reserve Board
System is authorized to charge menu
Der banks in any contract, agreement,
or any other financial transaction
had with them shall be per centum
per annum.
"Sec. 2. That it shall be unlaw-
full for any of said Federal reserve
banks to charge member banks in any
transaction had with them a greater
rate per annum than per centum.
Sec. 3. That the penalty for a
violation of this Act shall be a for
feiture of not only the interest on
the transaction involved but also the
principal thereof.
Sec. 4. That all laws and parts
of laws in conflict with this Act be,
and the same are hereby, repealed"

HEIRS HERESUE
TOSHAREESTATE
Mathews Brothers Seek
Part OF Taylor Farm
Worth 500, 900

Attorneys Dan Chapel and J. +.
Sheppard, of Ameucus, have filed
suit at ,Butl@ in Taylor Superior
court as representatives of a number
of heirs of the late Freeman Ma
thews, of that county, for possession
and sale of between roo and 500
acres of land owned by him pre-
viously to his death in 1908. Among
the heirs who are parties to the suit
are Lemucl S. and Rufus L. Mathews
Of Americas, brothers, employees at
the Scaborad shops. The land is val
ued at about 100000.
The whole suit, it is understood,
hinges on a death record in a hos
pital in AshevilIe, N. c., and its sub
sanitation Mr.. Mathews died leav-
ing life interest in the land to two
granddaughter with the proviso
that if he should die without issue
the surviviro should go into posses
sion of the whole, and if she, in turn,
should die without issue, the proper
ty then should revert to his estate
One of the granddaughter died
before the owner of the land. The
other, who was Mrs. Tom Hart, died

childbirth the next day after the
death of her baby.
The husband. Tom Hart, who had
already long been in possession of
the property through his wife under
the WILL retained possession and still
holds it. Under the law, it is said,
the fact that Mrs. Harris baby died
before she succumbed constitutes
| death without issue, which brings
! about the condition mentioned in the
will under which the land was to re-
vert to the estate.
The administrator of the estate
