that has occurred within the last year
and in his opinion would go a long
way towards re-establishimg foreign
demand for the South's principal pro-
duct-cotton.
Many bankers present expressed the
opinion that the arbitrary action of
Mr., Houston, late Secretary of the
Treasury, in disseminating the opera
tiol of the War Finance Corporation
resulted in the loss of many millions
of dollars to the cotton farmers Of
the South. The sustaining influence
of the War Finance Corporation was
much needed just at the time it was
discontinued, to break, ia large meas
ure, the force of the tremendous de-
cline in cotton. Had it been permit
ted to function many bankers seemed
to feel that the decline would not have
been so rapid.
Bankers from all parts of the State
were unanimous In their praise of the
cooperation that has existed recent
ly between the bankers and their pat
rons. 1t is generally thought by the
bankers that their clients appreciate
the tremendous burdens the banks
have been carrying and that those
clients feel that the banker is serving
to the utmost of his ability.
In conclusion permit me to say that
| was deeply impressed with the idea
that We here in Columbus and Lown-
DIES county enjoy conditions far above
the average and this condition to my
mind is brought about because of the
of our business men.
Columbus is looked upon as con-
sentative city and so long as remain
IN the banking business / trust she |
will live up to that reputation, for in
the long run, it is the only policy that
will consistently win out.

Ray of Hope for Better Conditions
Comes from Bankers State Convention
Club Tells Signs Hope
as by Bankers.

That there is a rift in the clouds
Of depression of adversely which are
lowering over this country, is attesteC
by the note Of optimism which was
sounded at the bankers convention
in Vicksburg the past week.
In an address before the Rotary
Club at the weekly luncheon meeting
Wednesday Mr.. Parker Reeves gave
some interesting side-lights On the
Vicksburg convention. He said:
A great change has come ever the
I"Free State of Warren" The Island
once so widely known and patronized
by Missssippians now holds no
charm for the visitors TO Vicksburg.
Truly the old order changeth.
The recent convention of M.ssissip-
pi Bankers, while not so largely at
tended as usual proved a source of
much pleasure and profit to those
present
On the whole a decided spirit of
courage, cheerfulness and optimism
prevailed. OF course we had many
discouraged bankers present, some Of
whom found it exceedingly hard to
hide their disappointment and pessi-
mism,
The general idea that l gathered
from bankers representing financial
institutions in the large financial
centors was that We of the South have,
perhaps. seen the worst Of ,he finan-
Cial storm that has been sweeping
over the country for the past twelve
months, and while l found not a sin
gle banker who would predict a rapid
recovery they al seemed to feel that
At least conditions will bet no worse
and that by early fall we should see

pal raw products of the South have

South was up in arms against the
coal producers who had limited their
output, thereby obtaining unheard of
and unjust prizes for their coal caus-
ing much suffering and distress esq
pecially among the poor of our cities.
He seemed to find no justification for
the farmer as against the coal pro-
Queer. This banker very wisely adj
vocated the raising of all food and
feed crops needed on the farm and aft
ter that all the cotton possible. His
position was so well set out and his
talk so logical that the delta Growth
did not press the matter further be
fore the convention. After the acer-
age reduction matter had been passed
over one banker very aptly remarked
that he thought the Good Lord had
himself attended to the reduction in
acreage this year without help from
the bakers.
Crop prospects en- route to Vicks-
burg seem to me to be just about as
bad as it is possible for them to be.
Stands of both coln and cotton are
poor to bad and with the continued
rains and cool weather the young
plant are not doing well.
In past years nearly all of the
large banks in most financial centers
had their representatives at cur con-
vcntions soliciting business and usu-
ally those representatives were high
officers; this year it was painfully
noticeable how very few city banks
were represented, and those represent
cd sent some minor official-one not
vested with authority to promise
loans. 1t seems to be the policy of the
city banks to take care of the urgent
needs Of their old patrons, but they
very frankly state that they are seek
ing no new accounts. In this con-
nection | wish to state that in my
humble judgment the South should
always bless the Democratic Party if
for no other reason than the estab-
lishmcnt of the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, without which the South would
be now. as N 1907 in the hands and at
the mercy of the Banks of Wall Street

AMERICANS LICENSE TROUBLES.
EASY COMPARED WITH ABROAD
French Inspectors Make Applicants Take
Practical Examination on Highways.

We sometimes rave and fume at
the red tape and seeming troubles
We have in order to procure a driv-
er's license in some OF our States;
but in reality, our troubles are few
and far between and relatively
simple when contrasted with the
rigamarole which some drivers
abroad must indulge in before they
can sit behind the steering wheel
and listen to the rythmatic tick OF
a we'll tuned motor.
Take France, for instance, and the
applicant begins by paying a 20
franc tax. makes a formal applica-
ton on stamped paper, and has to
submit to a practical examination.
This may consist of an hours drive
through dense Paris traffic or a ten
minute run over deserted national
highway. in accordance with the
within of the Inspector.
Once obtained, the license is good
forever. unless withdrawn for some
serious fault. But the inspector
has the right to limit the power and
the type of vehicles which the appli-
cant Is qualified to drive, and may
even limit him to a single make, II
he feels that the applicant is not
adept enough to drive any and
every machine that is likely to be
met with.
In Japan, the first license the ap-
plicant gets permits him to drive
forward. but not to reverse: II is
not until he has demonstrated fully
his prowess that his final license Is
obtained which permits him to use
his reverse gear. In the meantime.
