Minute Men Angered
By Attack On Work
At Dickerson Wreck

Upper county members of the
Maryland Minute Men have raised
a storm of protest against critic
ism of their activities ut the recent
Dickerson train wreck. The attack
on the Minute Men first was pub
blished on October 5 by a political
journal which has been distributed
through the county for the past
several weeks.
Typical of the sentiments of the
Minute Men are those expressed
in the following letter from an
officer of one of the militia units
'This is in answer to the article
which appeared under the heading
Uncle Joe Says which was cap
toned Were You There Charlie 2
Evidently, Uncle joe is lacking in
understanding of the operation of
the Maryland Minute men.
"This is a military organization
and operates as such; not as an I'M
organized mob. Uncle joe also
was greatly mistaken in his COM
ment on the time at which the
Minute Men arrived at the train
wreck. One of the first persons
arriving at the scene was an officer
of the 705th Company, MINI.
(This company is composed of men
from Dickerson, Beallsville Barnes
vile, Poolesville and Darnestown)
He at once notified his superior
officer. The latter had orders not
to move into the section until s p.
M, when the company was to re-
lieve the police and State Guards
men already on duty there. In
other words, the 705th Company
was held in reserve.
Uncle joe said we delayed for
half day because the Minute Men
had to don their 'resplendent uni
FORMS The 'resplendent uniform
he refers to actually consists only
of a suit of coveralls. They are
anything but flashy. In fact, the
job the Minute Men are trained for
does not call for flashy uniform.
Further, the Minute Men moved
into the scene at the appointed
time to relieve men who had been
on duty all day. We stayed at
these posts until the small hours
of the next morning. when we were
discharged by our superior officers
with the words: We'll done, on
your first assignment
"Please bear in mind, Uncle
joe that these men from all walks
of life (even editors) sacrifice
much to obtain training as volun-
teer reserve militiamen. We do not

Farmers Bank
Paying Off Last
OF Deposit Loans
DepOsitOrs, Stockholders To
Be Paid In Full Next Sat-
urday; Funds Advanced For
1888 Reorganization

Final payments to several hun
bred depositors of the Farmers
Banking and Trust Company who
loaned portion of their savings to
the institution in 1888, will be
made by the bank on October "a.
it was announced this week by
President Richard F. Green.
The final payment will wipe out
the banks Indebtedness incurred
by it's reorganization after the Ma
tional Banking Holiday of little
over nine years ago. According to
Mr.. Green, it will bring the total
of the payments on this debt to
$127,851.64, the face amount of the
loans received during the reorga-
nizatfon, with $21, 699.39 in interest
thereon.
Thus will close the story of one
of the most unique bank reorga-
nizations brought about by the last
depression. Following President
Roosevelt's order closing the ma
tons banks-a time when bank
failures and runors of failures
swept the entire countryside de-
positors and stockholders of the
Farmers Bank at Rockville and its
branch at Kensington gathered in
open meetings, approved a plan of
reorganization for the institution
and put up the cash to carry it
through.
The cash-raising plan, in brief,
called for voluntary loans from
each depositor to the amount of
fifteen per cent of his deposits,
with the stockholders contributing
an amount equal TO half the par
value of their stock. In turn, the
bank contracted to repay these
loans over a period of ten to twen-
ty years with interest at three per
cent. No dividends were to be paid
during this period, the entire earn
ings of the institution being de-
voted to paying off the loans.
This proposal. which had been
approved by State Banking Com
missioner John J. Gingber, met
practically unanimous support
from depositors and stockholders,
and a few days later the reorga-
nization was completed. Mr.. Green,
who was then chairman of the
Board of Directors and cashier at
the Kensington branch, was named
president to replace State Senator
Robert G. Hilton, whose health was
failing. The board of directors,
then composed of Senator Hilton,
Mr.. Green, Albert M. Bouic,
Thomas w. Perry, E. Brooke Lee,
Thomas D. Darby. Richard E. OAR
by, and DR.. Dexter M. Billiard, also
was expanded. The new directors
joining this group included Louis
D. Bell, G. Eddington Bell, Edwin
w. Broome, Charles C. Jones,
George F. Pollock, w. Reuben
Humphrey and Edgar Reed. More
recently F. Bache Albert, Henry F.
Gibbs, Winship I. Green and John
A. Jones have filled vacancies on
the board.
