NEW FARM LOAN BANK

we are glad to announce that The
First Carolinas Joint Stock Land
BANK, with former Congressman
Lever, until recently member of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, as Presi
dent, and with Offices at Columbia. s
G., is to do business in this County.
This fact became known when it was
learned that DuRant & Ellerbe, Esus,.
had become connected with this in
stltution as. abstract attorneys, and
as Its local representative in the
county. When asked for a state
ment as to methods of operation and
terms rms OF loan Mr.. DuRant, said:
Ihe. First Carolinas Joint Stock
Land Bank is chartered under the
Federal Farm Loan Act and is op
Grated under the same Federal s,,pcr-
ylslo nof the Federal Farm Loan
Board. The present paid in capitnl
stock is $250,000 and $4,000 sur
plus. The Bank operates very much
along the same lines as does the Fed
eral Land Bank of Columbia and ur-
DER the same supervision. 1t makes
loans only on improved agricultural
Lands; it does not loan on city pro-
perty.. The proceeds of these loans
must be applied for general apricul-
tural purposes. The loans arc made
direct to the borrower, and the bor
rover is forbidden to take stock in
the Bank. Any person is eligible for
a loan through this institution if in
addition to his other work he is at the

seml-annually, to which is added one
per cent to amortiZc or kill off the
debt over a period Of 33 years. In
other words, for seven per cent in

EARLY TRIAL IS LIKELY

White Plains, N. Y, June 90
Walter S. Ward, wealthy bakers
son, probably will go to trial for
the murder of Clarence Peters, ex-
sailor, on July II, it was learned
from a reliable source late TODAY.
This information, coming close on
the heels of conferences held by
Isaac N. Mills, former appellate di-
vision justice, and the newest ac-
cession to Wards legal talent, gave
rise to reports that an agreement
had been reached whereby District
Attorney Weeks would ask an carly
trial provided George S. Ward, the
slayer's father, would return from
his tour of the Middle West and
give deputy sheriff a chance to
serve on him a grand jury sub
pocnae they have been carrying
around for nearly two weeks. This

&c. C. ORDER TO
RAILROADS APPROVED
Missouri Train Horror is Cited in
Argument Calling for Automatic
Control

Washington, Aug. 20.-When the
Interstate Commerce Commission or
derde the leading railroads of the
United States to equip their lines
with automatic train control there was
an immediate protest from chief en-
gineers and officials of many COM
panies, who contended that automatic
stops and other controlling devices
were not yet perfected to the point
where their universal adoption was
practical.
The recent horror in Missouri, in
which an engineer and thirty-five
Others lost lives because of the engi-
neer's failure to see or heed a red
light block signal has renewed the
public applause which followed the
far-reaching order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Speaking of this, the inventor OF
one system of train control said: "The
claim that the systems of control in
existence have not been perfected is
no argument against their adoption.
The air brake is not yet perfected.
The steam engine, which hauls the
train, is not yet perfected. The con-
struction of tracks and cars is not yet
perfected. All these fundamental
pieces of equipment>of railroad trains
have been used and improved as they
were used. To say we must wait for
automatic train control until it is per-
fected is merely an euphemistic way
of saying don't let's spend the money
until we have to-. It will cost much
money to equip railroads with good
systems of automatic control. So did
it cost money to straighten tracks,
build fine stations, install block sys-
TENS, and use heavy steel rails. What
ever it costs, it is worth it; if the In
terstate Commerse Commission will
stick by its order, the railroads must
comply, and the whole country will
benefit, even if the expenditure should
which it won't temporarily
decrease railroad dividends"

CONDITIONS IMPROVING
A. C. L. Company Issues Statement
to the Public.

The following statement was issued
from the general offices Of the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Co., at Will
mington, N. c., Monday:
General conditions over the entire
system Improving. In the last eight
DAYS six hundred and seventeen new
employees have been taken into the
service at our various shops, a large
proportion of which are skilled men;
most of them left other employment
to secure work with this company at
the prevailing rates of pay which are
those established by the United States
Railroad Labor Board effective July
first nineteen twenty-five. This brings
the total force of men up to sixty-four
per cent. of the force employed in the
shops. on July first when the strike
took place. At more than twenty
points on the system the normal force
is at work. At many other points the
force is from seventy-fve per cent. to
ninety-fve per cent. normal
Inspection and repairs to locomo-
tives and cars are being well main
tanned by the force now at WORK
which is amply sufficient ia take care
of the situation, although the volume
of freight traffic being handled is
about fifteen per cent. heavier than
last year.
During the month of July ninety
three per cent. of the passenger trains
maintained their schedules. The en-
tire movement of perishable freight
consisting of more than four thousand
cars mostly of which originated on
the lines of this company, was deliver
ed on time at destination. All other
freight was handled promptly. There
is no accumulation at any terminal
or on the line of road.
