The despatch said at the hearing of the Senate committee on territories it developed al the out set that the Departments of Treasury and Commerce are willing to give their support to any sound plan even if it does take away their authority and jurisdiction.

Resolutions on the Death Of
Mr.. Fl. M. Dibble.

A special meeting of the Directors
of the Bank of Western Carolina was
held at Aiken on last Friday, July
18th, which was largely attended.
Resolutions upon the death of Mr..
H. M. Dibble were adopted, and the
matter of selecting his successor was
considered. AS arrangements had
been made for conducting the affairs
of the bank during the next few
months when Mr.. Dibble was expect
ed to be away on vacation, it was
decided not to elect president at
this time, but to postpone action until
September 18th, and in the meantime
Mr.. P. M. Buckingham was elected to
serve as president pro tenn. The res
olution as adopted is as follows.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the
President of the Bank of Western
Carolina has departed this life, and
it is not deemed eXpedient at this
time to fill the vacancy in the presi-
dency caused by his death, because
it is thought advisable that not only
the Directors but the Stockholders
of the bank, and its patrons should
consider well who should be appoint
ed to; this imp portant position:
- shisrsfore;t siie goard
will not now act upon said matter,
but continue the same for future con-
sideration, and that there be a meet
ing of the Board of Directors to con-
slider said matter on the 18th of Sep
tember, next, at 11:30 o'clock, at
this place and that in the meantime,
the efficient Vice-President of the
Bank in whom we have confidence,
Mr.. P. M. Buckingham, do assume
and exercise as President pro TEN the
duties of the office of President, and
that he and the Directors, and the va
rious committees of the Directors,
and other officers of the Bank con-
duct the business of the Bank as
usual.

Government Considers Offer
of Henry Ford.

Washington, July 15.-The gov
ernment is giving earnest considera'
tion to the offer of Henry Ford tc
purchase the great Muscle Shoals nj
trate plant on the Warrior River
Alabama.
The Ford proposal was brought ur
at the cabinet meeting today and re.
ferred to Secretary of War. Weeks
Secretary of Labor Davis, who al.
ready have begun study of the fed.
eral waterpower commission later
The Detroit millionaire automobile
manufacturer has offered to pay S.,
100000 cash for the plant and to
take a 1O0-year lease on the dams
and equipment.
Secretary Weeks stated today that
no decision will be reached until a
careful study of the offer has been
made. Ford will be asked to come to
Washington later on Tor confer
ence with Secretaries Weeks and
Hoover, it was learned today.
: There is every indication that the
is favorably disposed to
the Ford proposal, since it would
provide completion of the Muscle
Shoals project and would include al
most immediate conversion of the big
plant to the making of explosives in
the event of war. Mr.. Ford's pro-
posal to use the plant for the manu-
facture of cheap fertilizers for the
farmer also meets with the entire ap-
proval of the government.
