New York, Nov. 24.-Jack Britton

soon as Mickey Walker is willing
to give him a return battle he will
make the big effort This decision
was reached by Jack and his ad-
visers up in small town in New
York state today and was due 10
the fine condition in which the ex-
champion has found himself
Those who have been naming
Mickey Walkers future opponents,
beginning with Jimmy Kelly and
winding UP with Dave Shade, have
not included Britton in the rech-
oning. But they will have to from
now on It would be a fine thing
to say that Jack was filed with a
vast ambition to regain his lost
honors merely for the sake of the
,honOrs. But dope of that sort is
nix in the case of the keen. alert,
young business men who make up
the prize fighting profession these
days.
What Britton is after is coin. and
he figures that so long as he is able
to strut about the ring and keep
his face clean through fine defen-
sive tactics, he has as much license
as anyone else to, gather in the
shekels. There is talk that hewill
start through the west shortly
meeting ambitious young fighters Of
his class and that in good time he
will begin to poster Walker for d
return match.

BANK DEPOSITS
GAIN $276,453.72
OVER YEAR AGO
Splendid Improvement In Condi-
tions Revealed By Summary
Of Statements

Sumter county has come back"
Her banks prove it. Their state
ments, published this week as requir-
cd by law, show a aurp; isingly i'm
proved financial condition of the
community. Loans have been de-
creased somewhat, deposits have in
creased, and resources have grown.
Every bank in Sumter county has
improved its condition over the con-
dition shown on the same date a year
ago.
believing it to be matter of ex-
treme interest TO its readers, and of
real value to the community, the
Times-Recorder prepared a composite
summary of conditions, which ap-
pears in an adjoining column. It
shows that in the last year loans of
all 'tinds have beer reduced in the
county by more than $4,000, and
that deposits have increased by the
,osup Total o. SZlb,4o3Tz, and
this in the face of the t;ghtest twelve
months the section has known in
many years, over a poor crop period,
with low prices for farm products,
and preceding the now crop period.
Total deposits in the county have
passed the two million mark.
That banks are in a substantially
stronger position is shown by the
change in combined capital, surplus
and undivided profits, which have in
creased in the year from $531 ,341.03
to $718,141,58, an increase Of $780,
80O.55.
The total resources Of the banks
of Americas have increased from
$2,370,249.32 to $2,519,907.27 and
for the county as whole from $3,-
054,307.17 to $3,130,030.55, net
gain Of $75,723.39.
Advances on cotton in Sumter
county have been reduced from a
total of $178,901.29 to S154,114.O1.
Some Of the credit for the splendid
showing of the banks of the county
goes to the new Empire Bank of
Americus, launched three months
ago by Col. G. r. Ellis and associates.
1t made its first statement, and
showed deposits of more than $780,
900, regarded as very creditablc
showing for an infant institution, and
one which its officials say is better
than they had reason to expect.
An important factor in the large
increase in capital and resources was
the Planters Bank of Americas,
which in the year doubled its capital
stock of $4,000 and raised its sur
plus from $150,000 to 100000. At
the same time it reduced its undivid-
ed profits from $97,213.52 to $685.
636.52. The Empire banks $780,
900 capital was a net addition to this
county total The Plains bank added
another $4,000 when it doubled its
surplus of $4,000 during the year.
The showings are regarded as re-
markable, general conditions consid-'
cred, reflecting a splendid, sound,
banking service for the entire coun-
ty, extensive service to the public,
and a renewed thrift on the part Of
the public, which all agree is a good
sign.
