CHARTERS WILL BE ISSUED
FOR COOP. NATIONAL BANK

A statement issued recently by D.
K. Crissinger, comptroller of the cur
rency, was misunderstood. Under a
decision rendered by him it was con-
cluded that no more cooperative banks
would be chartered, there being no
provisions under the banking laws for
the payment of dividends to depositors
The comptroller now says that, not
withstanding this, the bylaws may Ie-
gally and properly provide for the pay
ment of dividends to depositors, and
that this need not prevent the issu-
ance of charter in the event that the
law is otherwise complied with.

WHY DOESN'T HE
DO so HIMSELF? =?

Roger Babson, statistician, speaking
before the Worlds c. E. Convention in
New York upon the topic Christian
Endeavor in Business, said:
IF the majority of the people in
the world should suddenly turn about
and live the way Christ taught us to
live, we would never have spasms OF
hard times and boom times. Business
would develop steadily, evenly, and,
in the long run, far more rapidly than
it does now
The causes of our business depres-
sion are spiritual and the only means
by which they can be remedied and
prevented are spiritual means.
Only short time ago this very same
man boasted that big business owned
the politicians, press, and pulpit, and,
through propaganda. knew how to
bamboozle the people and exploit
them to the limit. Jesus said: "What
you do to the most Insignificant hui
man being, you do unto me"
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-08-11

The one infallible remedy for the
pellagra plague in the South is cessa-
ton of exploitation. This is the one
objectionable crime against the holy
spirit of human solidarity that has ban
ished peace and good will from among
the race. The tree of the knowledge
of good and evil, mentioned in Cen
esis,the first book of the Bible, sym
bolizes man. and everyone was for
bidden to eat from that tree, i.e., ben
eft himself at the expense and to the
loss of any other human fellow being.
This is the wrong-doing that has re-
moved and kept mankind out of har-
monious economic and social condi-
tons. called paradise. Mutual help
and mutual consideration will restore
this felicity. Abolish exploitation.
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-08-11

Upon every reader rests the respon-

If our purpose in life is money-mak-

with the big prizes for the few and
unceasing toll and poverty for the ma

tenn Of private profiteering and mon
opolistic exploitation. But if our pur-
pose is the common human good, then
we must have cooperation.

A7 Sg Y4kS15 made a pro-

A9S5 y like manner
the territory
extending from Virginia to Flor
ida was granted by Charles II
in 1863 to eight gentlemen as
reward for their efforts in his
behalf. The name Carolina
comes from the Latin, Carolus,
meaning Charles. 1t was not
really named after Charles II,
but originally in honor of Charles
TX, king of France, by Hugue-
nots who built a fort near Beau
fort in 1862.
The fact that the Carolinas
became later two distinct colo
MES was due to chance. It hap
pened that the earliest settle
ments located at points far re-
moved from each other. The
first permanent settlements in
South Carolina were about
Charleston, while those in North
Carolina were around Albemarle
sound. The life in the two Sec
tions also was quite different.
South Carolina was largely de-
voted to the cultivation of rice
and indigo and the planters soon
grew very rich with their large
estates on which the labor was
performed by slaves. In fact,
just before the Revolution the
population showed twice as many
blacks as whites. Z
In 1929 the government of the
CarOlinas was turned back by :
the lord proprietors to the king !
and there was then formed the
two separate provinces.
South Carolina was the eighth
state to adopt the Constitution, :
the vote of ratification being
passed in May, 1888. The Pal :
mettO state, as South Carolina :
is sometimes called, extends over :
3O9S9 square miles, and it par
ticipates in the presidential cleo
ton to the extent of nine elec- :
tors.

STORKS PERCH ON
EVERY HOUSETOP
In TURK CAPITAL

Apgora, Angora Sept. 12-The stork
is the most conspicuous object in this
city, the capital of Nationalist Tur-
key. There are storks perched on
every housetop. One solemn, huge
pair has it's nest built en- the stately
column erected long age under the
Romans, 70 honor the Emepror Au-
rustus. Others have their nests on
the roof of the Parliament building.
Several huge pairs inhabit the roof of
the Hotel Hriet liberty. Small Boys
do not threw stones at them, nor DO
the men shoot them.
The storks are supposed to make
the trips TO Arabia to Medina and the
holy city of Mecca. The Turkish sup
srstitfcn about the stork is that il
seen carrying red weeds or grass in
it's flight, this is a sign of death to
the beholder and of long life if the
grass is green.
Anatolia is a paradise for birds. The
Turks never shoot them nor DESTROY
their nests. The little boy with his
slingshot is spanked if found doing
them mischief. Hence they flourish in
abundance with their only enemies
the. eagle and the maybe.

Mexico City, Stpt 12.-Disquieting
reports of 'anarchistic" conditions in
the state of Yucatan continue to ar
rive here and further sanguinary
clashes between radicals and conser-
natives are feared.
A secsnd committee of Yucatan
journalists has arrived here to pre-
sent a memorial to President Oregon
asking that guarantees be given and
that federal forces be augmented i'm
mediately in order to prevent stu
alton which is described as serious
from Lecoming more threatening.
Members of the committee were
quoted in the newspapers here as say
ing that a virtual state of anarchy
prevails in Yucatan and that the only
guarantee of protection is a good re-
volyer and an ability to use it.
The editors Of three conservatiy,
newspapers in Merida, the state CAPT
tai. have been the object of many a.
lacks by the Socialists. So serious
have been the threats that the news
rers offices arefunder constant guard.

D. c. Y. ACCEPTS
INVITATION OF
CHATTANOOGA
For Third Time In History q o :
ganization Confederate Vet
Grams Will Meet There

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 12.-For
the third time in the history of that
organization the United Confederate
Veterans Association has been invit-
ed to bold it's annual reunion in Chat
tanooga and the invitation has been
accepted. The invitation is also ex-
tended, of course, to the Sons of Con-
federate Veterans and allied organiza-
tons that hold their reunions stimuli
caneOusly with the U. c. V. The date
of the reunion has been fixed for Oc-
tober 1927 inclusive. Committees are
already busy making arrangements to
entertain the reunion, and all who at
tend are assured of hearty welcome
in advance of the event to the homes
and hospitality of Chattanooga.
The reunion organization is headed
by an executive committee, of which
w. N. Hudiburg, an active business
man, is chairman. There is also a
general advisory committee headed
by Hon. Alex w. Chambliss, mayor of
Chattanooga. These committees are
composed of many of the best men OF
the community, many of whom were
active in the entertainment of the re-
uhIOH eight yOetlo dSO anu WIN dIe
therefore known to the leaders of the
ex-Confederate organizations through
out the South. JShn E. Lowell is
chairman of the finance committee.
1t should lie understood that this
invitation was issued a. the eleventh
hour, after it appeared that the ex-
CCnfederates would have no reunion
this year because of the absence of an
invitation. No southern city seemed
20 be willing to invite the ex-Confed-
crates, due doubtless to local condi.-
tons. When it appeared that the ex-
Confederates had given over holding
reunion this year, number of live
spirits in Chattanooga threw them
selves into the breach and prevailed
IN the city to issue the invitation. Ii
was accepted the same day of issue
3y Gen. X. NJ. Van Zandt, commander
in-chief of the Veterans Association.
With but few weeks in which to
make arrangements for entertaining
the reunion, the ex-Confederatea
themselves cannot expect The elabor
ate entertainment they received here
in 1913, but they are assured that they
will lie given the best that Chatta-
nooga can provide in the very short
time intervening between now and the
October date.

TO USE
WHISTLE AS CLOCK
STARTSABIC ROW
Novel Proposition Of the
City Council

Gainesville, Sept. IA stiff legis-
lative battle was fought here recently
when a member OF the city council Of
fered an ordinance compelling the city
to blow the water works whistle on
every hour Of the day and night unit!
the clock in the court house tower,
which has refused to run with any
regularity during the past month
should be put in repair by county au
thorities.
The motion met with polite but
firm protest from the city attorney
who pointed out that he lived in the
vicinity of the water works and that
it would never do to have the whistle
blown, anyway. Another council
man objected ON the ground that he
had moved to Gainesville to escape the
shriel1ing of sawmill whistle and to
secure peace and quiet during his
evenings.
When the motion was revised to re-
quire the blowing of the whistle only
between the hours of a. m. and I
p. m, third councilman assailed it
as smacking of class legislation, in
that it permitted the nocturnal slum-
Lers Of the day workers to be undis.
turbed, while his less fortunate fell
low who labored through the Silly
night and sought his hard earned rest
at sunrise would never know a full
hours peace under its cruel and I'M
usual provisions.
Gaping the climax came the fire
chief, who insisted that much confu-
sion would result from using the
whistle both as a fire alarm and an
alarm clock
Tho motion was lost.
