At least fifty of the leading bankers, professional and business men who are members of other churches went to the Second Baptist Sunday to hear the sermou. the subject of which had been announced In The Georglau on Saturday. I)r. White, who is not only a preacher of eloquence and power but ft man of broad views -and. a wide .knowledge of the prob lems which face the public today, had made n deep study of bis subject. Ills discourse wns n strong nfiscal to the sound Judgment of the public, and exhortation for confidence In their country, for faith In the prosperity of their city and state, and an assurance that the flnnnce* of America are npon a foundation too solid to be disturbed by rumors from speculators. py,. white took his text from Isnlnb, vil. 4: "Take heed and be quiet; fear not, neither lie faint-hearted about the two tails of these smoking firebrands . The sermon In full follows: . . Thus an ancient preacher-patriot exhorted a king and his council. An unreasonable fear bad-seised them, a .singularly foolish fright, because not only did King Ansa have with him his powerful Assyrian ally but bis.enemies, were nlready practically anni hilated. The war wns really over. "Resin and RemeUah's ion," who had threatened Jerusalem, were. In the language of Isaiah, to be - Considered aa •"two smoking fire brands." and only the "tails" or stump-ends of firebrands at that. . ... The prophet therefore addresses to the panicky king and his council Just what should be said to the j>eople In this country and more particularly In the South, who are talking "panic" and hard times "Take unto you." he said, "the shield of fnltb, you have lost your heads. Take n sensible view of the facts. Bate your enmles st their proper value. But for all this you must believe in Hod. Faith In Him is the essential condition of n calm mind and a rational appreciation or affairs.

TILLER, Washington, Nov. 18.—With tho somber scene within the coujt room where a woman Is being tried for her life, In thorough accord with the dreary downpour without, the trial of Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, charged with the murder of Senator Brown, whom she admits she loved yet slew, was re sumed this morning, the defense begin, nlng the Introduction of testimony. Two witnesses in particular offered evidence today upon which the defense will begin to build Its plea of Insanity. These were Dr. E. W. Whitney, Mrs. Bradley's physician, and Louts A.

The morning was consumed In the examination of a number of newspaper men, 8ergeant Lohman and Dr. Whit ney. From some of them the attor neys ’for the defense were able to ob tain statements that they believed Mrs. Bradley to be Irresponsible at the time of the tragedy. Others described her condition as nervous and unnatural, but would not commit themselves to the insanity belief. Dr. E. W. Whitney was permitted to testify only to such incidents connect ed with his long treatment of Mrs. Bradley as would show her physical condition and was not allowed to go Into detail concerning the character or the causes for the treatment necessary, Ic Is alleged, on account of some one having performed criminal operations upon her. Portions of Dr. Whitney’s testimony were technical, while large portions of It is unprintable and of such a nature that many women In the court room hung their heads during Its recital. Despite this, however, there were per* haps a hundred women spectators In the room, none of whom, with few ex ceptions, left during the half hour Dr. Whitney was upon the stand. Improper Operations. The testimony of Dr. Whitney Is In troduced, evidently, for the purpose of corroborating the story which Mrs. Bradley only can tell, not only to the effect that she Is rearing two children, who, she says, owe their parentage to the man she slew, but that upon three •ther occasions became a near mother. f ine prevented therefrom only through *nproper means.

When seen by a representative of The Georgian Mr. Harris stated that he would be unable to discuss his visit at any length because of the fact that he had been unable to And a single piece of real corn bread since his arrival here. "Without m> corn bread," said Mr. Harris, "I feel entirely lost. I will say, however, that any reports that the president has asked me to «1in« with him that he may have the opportunity to score me for nature faking in my stories of "Brer Rabbit" are untrue. "When Mr. Roosevelt first began his crusade against nature fakers I con fess I was a little worried for fear 1 would come dn for "some of the criti* clam, but since all this time has passed without any action having been taken I feel sure that nothing will be done at thla late date."

During her delirium she attempted to do many things as persons will In this condition, such as getting out of bed. Mrs. Brad ley again had blood poisoning, her de lirium being caused by tlu; blood pois oning nnd consequent fever. "Impure blood has the same effect on the brain M the other tissues.

Atlanta hanks will bid for the new government Panama bonjs and certlfl- cates. The Lowry National Bank will probably bid for 1300,000 Panama bonds and the Fourth National Bank will ask for 2200,000 In these bonds. Other local banka probubly will take the same step. The decision of the government to Issue $60,000,000 of Panama bonds and 1100.000. 000 of certificates bearing 3 per cent Interest will relieve all the tension and stringency In the money market In this country, restore confidence and en able the South to move It* cotton with out trouble. „ . . This Is the opinion of the bankers of Atlanta, who are enthusiastic over the timely action of the government, and the feasible plan taken by the secretary of the treasury and the president for thla purpoae. "While the sale of these bond* and certificate* mean* much.” stated Asa O. Candler, president of the Central Bank and Trust Corporation, "thl* will do no more good than the statement of the president that all the bank* ara solvent. "During these stringent time* all the bank* of the country, state and na tional, have been subjected to the most exacting scrutiny by state and national official*. These official* state positively that the banks were never in better condition. The president state* that all the banka are solvent. “The plan adopted by the government to Increase the circulation 1* a splen did and a perfectly feasible one.” It la the opinion of the bankers that this step will aid the South particular ly. The plan, as explained to a repre sentative of The Oeorgtan. I* this: The government lasue* 150,000.000 of Panama canal bonds, which are a* good aa treasury notes. The national banks will bid for and buy these bonds. To do ao. they must give the government 260,000,000 of gold, If they aell at par. and more If they sell above par. The bRnka then, with these bonds as security, may Issue about 260,000.000 of bank notes. This 260.000.000 of bank notes thus put into circulation Is about the same amount a* that paid the government for the bond*. The government, on the other hand, upon receiving the 260.000. 000 for the bonds, redepoalt* this money In the banks. What will help the Houth particular ly Is that this money will be redeposlted In the sections of the country where It Is necessary to move the crop*, and there sections, as the president states, are the South and West. In addition to th* Panama bonds, the government proposes to Issue 2100,000.- 000 of one-year 3 per cent bearing cer tificate*. A person may buy these certificate* from the gurcrnni' nt, and lie will be paid 3 per cent Interest on them, anil they will be payable within one year. The government will then deposit the proceed* In the banks throughout the country, particularly the South and We*t, nnd thus lncr,ea*o the circula tion where It Is most needed to move the crops. Colonel It. J. Lowry, president of the Lowry National Bank, stated that he would probably advise the board of directors of his bank at a meeting to morrow to increase the circulation of the bank from 2600,000 to 2800,000 by buylug 2300,000 of the Panama bonds. ’’It Is a splendid arrangemant.” stat ed Colonel Lowry, "and will do every thing that was needed to restore ab solute confidence In the situation." Captain J. W. English, president of the Fourth National Bank, stated that he had not had time to study the plan of the government fully. "If, as It appears," he ntoted, government proposes to Increase the circulation throughout the country, and the banks can break even at tt. I think It Is a splendid one, nnd this bank may bid for 2200,000 of th* Panama bonds." Joseph A. McCord, of the Third Na tional Bank, thinks the plan a splendid me. •It will relieve the situation won derfully.” he stated. “It will increase circulation, restore confidence, nnd It puts the government solidly behind the banks. In addition to adding the gov ernment Indorsement to the banks. The plan Is feasible and I look for no more trouble.” T. J. Peeples, cashier of the Maddox. Rucker Banking Company, points out the fact that the timely assistance of the government has already steadied the stock market, and that cotton has gone up 21 a bale on the strength ot the government's action. George B. Donovan, of the First Na tional Bank, states that his bank has Just increased It* circulation 2100,000. “The plan of the government," he stated, “I* a good one, and It has al ready helped the situation wonderfully." $25,000,000 WILL GO TO THE,SOUTH AND WEST Washington, D. C., Nov, 18,—Ot the Ifsue of treasury certlllcte* In d*numl- nutton* of 250 each, bearing 2 per cent Interest, It I* predicted a large share will go to the south and west. It was sold today by a high treasury official that 226,000.000 Increased circulation In these sections would prove a great lever toward the moving of the crop* and It was added, this Is one of the prise considerations In the minds nt tht president and Secretary Cortelyou In framing the relief measure. Washington, D. C„ Nov. 18.—Ther# Is something Inspiring In the sohem* for relieving the financial stringency which, as the result of three days of conferences culminated late last night In the announcement made by Secreta. ry Cortelyou, coupled with an appeal to the American people by President Roosevelt. A double-bRrreled plan for restoring public confidence In which the Federal government takes the lead. Involving tho Issuance of treasury certificates amounting to 3100,000.000 and the of fering of Panama canal bonds amount ing to 160,000,000 wns made public by the secretary of the treasury last night. With the announcement went word to the country .from the president that everything Is all right, that It Is th* duty of everyone to get over hi* fear anil resume business and that no man who Is a patriot will longer hoard his resources. The public Is expected to Invest In the treasury certificates. ' which run a year and bear 3. par cent | Interest. Money Deposited in Banka. This money when It reacnes the treasury can bo deposited In the banka arid then the government and not tho hanks will be responslble to those mak ing the loans. In this way an object lesson tn confl. dence tn the financial Institutions of the j country Is given by Mr. Cortelyou. If the public does not want all the tieaa- ury certificates they can be taken by the banks and used ns reserve. The banks,aro expected to buy the ronama canal bonds.
