COST OF RECOVERY
IS DECLARED Low
Debt Up $50 Per Capita and
Income $3.50, Douglas
Tells Institute.
By the Associated Press.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July II.
William o. Douglas, member of the
Securities and Exchange Commission,
declared here tonight that the United
States had obtained recovery at a
surprisingly low cost.
Holding there was no reason for
treating borrowings of a nation diff
ferently from borrowings of an indi-
vidual, he told the University of Vir-
ginia Institute of Public Affairs that
I'VE must look at the balance sheet
of the profit and loss account of the
Nation as whole"
Against the increase in the national
debt, Douglas said, must be set the
increase in the total marketable
wealth of the Nation. The annual
national income, he continued, in
creased two and a half times the net
increase of the public debt during
the last four years, or while the pub
lie debt rose $50 per capita, the ma
tional income climbed $3.50 per capita
Increase in Debt.
The gross increase in the public
debt from February, 1888, to June
30, 1896, was about $4,000, ,000, 900,
but allowing for "high-grade" tangible
assets, large 'realizable assets" and
other offsets the net increase may be
no more and probably less than half
OF the gross total, or about $780,
600, ,000," he said.
"As against this increase in the
national debt there is, of course"
he said, first, the immense apprecia-
ton in the total marketable wealth
Of the Nation.
"It may be interesting to compare
that increase in debt with the in
crease in the annual national income.
The 1882 national income was less
than $4,000, 100000. The national
income at present is at a rate of
probably over 100000, ,0O0, 900 a year,
an increase of $40, 900 ,000, 900.
Only few segments" of the prob
lem Of Federal regulation Of the Sc
curities market have been attacked,
and until an approach Is gained from
the viewpoint of national economy
rather than the viewpoint of brokers
and dealers bent" on increasing their
income, q satisfactory solution will
never be reached, Douglas said.
What is frequently forgotten,
Douglas said. Is that the cost of

Douglas said that so-called in

"All speculative theories agree that

Rapid turnovers mean increased
brokerage commissions. But from a
broad, national point Of view. there
is little economic significance In
whether the turnovers are high or

There are several places along the coast

city. One of the tales that is told is
that when the sea is rough, you can see
the tips of the spires of the churches in
the hollow OF the waves and that during
calm you can hear the music of the
bells ringing out hymns appropriate to
the day. / like to feel that / have at
the bottom of my heart a city of Is, with
bells calling me to worship in the sane

After all. the church is the appointed
meeting place of God and His people.
You can worship in the privacy of your
home in your closet or in Gods great
out-Of-doorS; but how many really do it?
Most people who worship at all, worship
in the church.
When the Israelites and Amalekites
were in battle, Aaron and Hur held up
the hands of Moses. AS long as they
held up his hands, Israel was victorious !;
but when they let them drop the enemy
prevailed. Moses was d type of the min
istry, Aaron and Hur type of the
church. AS long as the church holds up
the hands of her ministers, by regular
attendance, by prayer and cooperation,
the forces of evil will be defeated.

By Req. III. A. Fespermon

The lack of regular church attendance
today among Christian people is grow
ing black mark against the church as an
institution, and against the spiritual life
OF the individual. There is nothing so
discouraging to minister as empty pews
and the habitual staying away from the
church by the members. The excuses
that people make are usually flimsy and
will not bear close inspection.

as a child, they searched diligently for

Art Bush, colored. wanted in the
shooting of Pat Hicks. Albert Hicks
and Forney Martin. was quoted by
Chief Deputy Sheriff N. L. Summers
as admitting he fired into a group
which came to his house near here
Monday night.
Pat Hicks and Martin are in critical
condition in hospital. Albert Hicks
was not seriously wounded.
Last night was one of apprehension
through the Annison district. which
has seen troops called out five times
since July l3. when Mrs. Joel Hill,
farm wife. was attacked.
Feared Hanging Threat.
Bush's wife told authorities she
had been threatened with hanging
unless she told an armed group the
names of other Negroes thought by
her questioners to have been in her
house Monday night.
She said she was afraid her house
would be burned with me and my
children in it." The Bush barn burned
yesterday. She and her five children
were placed in Annison Jail.
Weary from more than "a hours
of marching. armed posses which
roamed the countryside yesterday and
last night had virtually dispersed early
today, but officials feared they would
reassemble within few hours.
Bush was captured by State patrol
men and hurried away from the trou-
BILE zone before civilian possemen were
aware of the arrest Details Of the
capture were withheld.
Judge r. B. Carr, who presides over
the circuit, which includes Admission,
said armed men are running around
all over the country" Col. John T.
Moore. commanding State troops,
watched through the night.
Kidnap Attempt Reported.
The shooting at Bush's cabin fol-
lowed a report that an unidentified
colored man had attempted to kidnap
the 2-month- old child of Mrs. Geneva
Williamson.
Mrs. Williamson said she frightened
the man and he dropped the child,
who was not injured.
Posses quickly formed. One group
went to the Bush house. The shoot
ing followed.
Aroused by the wounding of the
three possemen. the countryside
turned out.
Gov. Bibb Graves, informed of the
situation by telephone, concentrated
81 State highway patrolmen in the
area, and ordered Bush taken to
