fine one is an incipient drought. Three

One Of the queer features and
breaks Of the times has been the at
tempt at organization OF Ku Klux
Khan in some potions of the South.
There has been distinct absence OF
such efforts at resusitation at the
evils Of q past day, in this state; and
absence which is to be taken as an
evidence Of intelligent comprehension
There was a recent meeting in Win
ston county to consider proposition
Of state organization, by man
from Mobile, which fell flat we are
glad to say. The manner Of the
failure is so we'll told by the Winston

$4,000 to Push Divorce

CHICAGO. July 8.-Peggy Hopkins
Joyce was awarded $3.50 a month all
mony. $27,500 solicitors fees and $12.500
for suit expenses today by Judge Sab
bath on her cross bill for separate main
tenance. filed in reply to the suit Of
James Stanley Joyce for an annulment
Of their marriage.
The alimony granted is temporary, as
Judge Sabbath already had decided that
he would not go into the merits Of the
case itself until it comes up for final
adjudicati ton in September.
Mrs. Joyce in her cross bill for sep
arate maintenance asked temporary all
mony of $4,000 a month and attorneys
fees Of 100000 with which to prosecute
her case.
In her bill she alleged that Joyce was
worth at least SIC, 1000, 900, but her hus-
band in his statement to the court main-
tained that his fortune was not more
than 100000.
Attorneys representing Joyce had
tried to prevent payment of any ali
mony to Peggy on the grounds that
she had been married to Joyce in con-
currence with conspiracy with other
persons to rob Joyce Of his millions
of inherited wealth.
Judge Sabbath ruled that the fact
that marital relations had existed be-
tween Joyce and his wife warranted
the court granting temporary ali
mony.
Attorneys for Joyce filed an appeal
bond of $4,000 to take Judge Sab
baths ruling to a higher court.

who sought mandatory injunction to
compel the removal of the new screen
on the plea that it was erected in vio-
lation of the building regulation and
that 1t caused him the loss OF light and
air to his property.
The club management denied ehat the
screen is meant for a dividing fence
between the properties to which only the
building regulation applies and asserted

revenue alleged to have been obtained
by him from selling seats on his porch
and roof for the ball games. The club

Great Decrease of Notes in

Period of DefIation.

| Federal reserve bank operations
during the past year have resulted in
an increase of its gold holdings by
$483. 900. a decrease in its notes in
circulation Of $4S0,O0O,00O, and an in

"The spring months of 1921 would

ness and of preparation for recovery
from depressed conditions that had
developed"
Increase Of Membership.
Total resources Of the reserve sys-
tenn. amounting to ,242.OoO,000 June
20, 1921. were decreased 1871 per cent
from the total June 25. 1920. Of
$6.074, 1000, 900. The capital of federal
reserve banks. however. increased
$94.500.000 to $102.1S4.0OO during the
same period, due to the fact that the
system has steadily increased in
membership and strength" during the
year. This. the board remarked. was
in striking contrast with the decline
in total resources"
Government obligations continued
to work out Of the banking system of
the country, and into hands of private
or corporate investors, it was re-
marked. because reserve loans on
Treasury bonds and certificates of in

Discussing the gold movements. the
board pointed out that the metal
flowed out OF the United States in
1919 in considerable quantities. but
began returning in even greater
volume in 1920, the import for the
setting imports against exports since
the armistice and to June 10, the
country's gold stock showed a net
increase of $120,000,0O0 and was still
bound upward
The great shipments Of gold to the
United States have been the result of
the slackening and disorganization of
trade and the disturbance Of financial
relationship" the board said How
