Roosevelt Realizes Position.
“Since the panic. President Roose
velt lias awakened to a realization tlwit
if he leaves his policies half-way es
tablished he will, ns he should, go Into
history as an unworthy bungler.
"President Roosevelt now realizes
that if. at the coming elections, the
system's tools are placed in the white
house, the people, when they realize it,
will do something, and President
Roosevelt realizes that that something
will be something momentous.
"1 say President Roosevelt realizes
this because he Is not a fool, and If he
Is not a fool he must realize it.
Roosevelt Surrounded.
"When the crisis was on President
Roosevelt was suddenly and with dia
bolical Ingenuity surrounded—com
pletely surrounded.
"He was compelled to allow moves
and to make the move himself, which
made it possible for the system to know
now that the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates will be satisfactory
to it.
1 personally know the system will be
satisfied with the nomination made
by either party that it will willingly
finance either or both parties thru the
campaign to any extent necessary, re
gardless of who the candidates may be,
provided Theodore Roosevelt is not one
of them.
I personally know the system will
furnish willingly all money and other
backing to elect William Jennings Bry
an. or his opponent, whoever he may
be. provided he Is not Theodore Roose
velt, and the money thus willingly,
eagerly furnished, will be the money of
the same men who furnished $5,000,000
In 1896 to steal the presidency from Mr.
Bryan.
"I personally know that the system
knows William J. Bryan to be what we
all know him to be—a clean, honest,
unpurchasable, Godfearing, country-
loving American, In other words, they
know him to be a white man. Never
theless. they are satisfied to put him In
the white house because they believe
that they can discredit him at the very
beginning by showing the world his
helplessness.
Contemplate Trickery,
‘With this knowledge, and with full
inside knowledge of the plan of the
system, with full knowledge of the
contemptible trickery begun with the
panic. President Roosevelt is so sur
rounded by circumstances and by the
system's trickery that he can hot, In
Justice to the people and to his own
manhood, move head or hand, directly
°r indirectly, to secure for himself an
other term.'
"If Theodore Roosevelt Is not given
another term, there will come to the
people soon after the Inauguration ot
his successor such dissatisfaction with
his successor’s work, such ang*r at the
realization that they are harnesed by
the system for another four years that

FEROCIOUS ’POSSUM
IS CAUGHT IN CITY
Has Brer 'Possum turned burglar?
This is a question which is agitating
Policeman 'Roberts, who caught a big
’possum Tuesday morning about
o’clock acting suspiciously in Viaduct
place. Brer 'Possum was captured only
a few feet from the barber shop of J.
Ed Walker, which was burglarized Sun
day night.
No information could be obtained
concerning tho 'possum, and It Is being
held on suspicion.
Officer Roberts was walking along
Viaduct place when he noticed the
'possum some distance ahead of him, In
the vicinity of tho barber shop. At
sight of the policeman, the 'possum
sneaked In a dark corner and attempt
ed to hide. Roberts had his eye on
the animal, however, and, slipping
noiselessly into the corner, seized it.
The ’possum, like a real burglar, show
ed resistance, but was quickly subdued.
It was then sent to the police station.
POLICEMEN’S GOAT
CENTRAL ATTRACTION
An Angora goat, with a propensity
ror scrapping witn policemen, is tne
main attraction at the police station
Just now.
This goat, which seems to be an
oucast with no friends, was captured
a few day* ago in Decatur-st. by Call
Officers Gallaher and Anderson, after
a fierce fight. The goat resisted arrest
with the viclousness of the most stub
born prisoner, and butted the officers
like a live battering rant.
They flnnlly succeeded In getting It
to the police station, however, and
placed it in the stable. Two or three
nights ago the goat attacked one of
the negro -hostlers in the stable and
came near killing him. The negro was
rescued by other employees of the sta
ble. after the goat had knocked him
down and waf delivering blow after
blow with his head.
Following this stunt, the pugilistic
goat escaped front the stable and ran
Into Decatur-st. rail Officer Bentley
gave chare and the goat turned on'
him. Standing on its hind legs, the
goat would charge the officer. The agfie
officer, however, proved good on his
legs and dodged the well-aimed blows.
Call Officer Maddox finally came to
the assistance of Bentley and the two
managed to get the goat back to the
stable.
Since then several officers have gone
back to the stable to look at the light
ing goat, and it promptly showed an
inclination to scrap. The goat Is now
closely confined Jn a »B*ll and Is fas
tened with a heavy chain. It will
probably be sold at the next “ole boss’
sale of the police department.
Any person who doesn’t object to
continually fighting may get a bar
gain.

and facilities for conducting a banking
business, Is pointed out by Mr. Bran
nen, who is head of the firm of Brannen
& Anthony. To The Georgian Tues
day Mr. Brannen outlined his views. .
“Let Governor Smith appoint Mr.
Candler trustee to take charge of the
bank.” ho said. '.'Then Mr. Candler
could at once go over the assets, study
the report of the examiners and deter
mine Just what are immediately avail
able. He could then begin immediate
payment to depositors of a share of
their deposits, thereby tiding many
over a stringency which would other
wise be deeply felt.
Could Begin Payment.
The Neal Bank has. In round num
bers, $2,000,000 of deposits. It has
$200,000 in ready cash and currency, ac
cording to the report shown. There is
10 per cent of the amount due deposi
tors already available. Even this 10
>er cent would be of great service to
tundreds of the depositors. Other as
sets may quickly be realized upon,
and as fast ns a substantial sum is
collected could be paid, pro rata. Mr.
Candler has expressed himself favor
ably, and at the meeting of the clear
ing house association, J understand, of
fered to take over the Neal Bank upon
certain terms, which, however, did not
appear feasible to the association.”
it is argued b>” the depositors who
have considered this plan that it would
be far better to place the affairs of the
bank in the hands of a banker than to
appoint u lawyer as trustee. The lat
ter would necessary have to transact
the business thru some bunk. It is be
lieved that Mr. Candler, should he be
made trustee, would advance a large
amount from his own funds upon such
assets of the Neal Bank us were shown
to be absolutely sound and readily
available, and in this way would return
to depositors a large share of the sums
due them without waiting for actual
realizations upon those assets.
It is stated that the depositors in the
savings bank department will have the
last claim upon the proceeds from the
bank under the law. Under ordinary
conditions, a savings bank reserves tho
right to delay payments from deposits
for sixty days, and it Is stated that the
trustee appointed may take the same
time before beginning payment from
the savings bank.
Redeem Certifieetce.
The failure of the Neal Bank iloea not
affect in the least the clearing house cer
tificates Issued by that tank.
The Clearing House Association is pledged
to redeem each und every one'of the cer
tificates.
The Neal Bank hud $200,000 of clearing
house certificates. To secure these, the
lutuks hud to put in the bunds uf the trus
tees $$*>,fl00 of choice collateral—one and
a half dollars for every dollar.
Tho other lunik* of the association, the
fore, will redeem these certificates, nud w
receive their money in return front the
liquidation of this collateral.
If, however, the state hank examiner or
the receiver of the hank decides that it
would best serve the Interests of the de
positors of the Neal Bank to pay the Clear-
ins House Association $200,000 with which to
redeem the certificate* and thus secure the
$3U0,0aii of collateral, the latter course will
be taken.
The Keiil Bank has in actual cash $-*32,000,
It cun, therefore pay the $200,000 for the
certificates, secure Its collateral, and then
realize on this a great excess over $200,000.
It tills la not done und the Clearing
House Association keeps the collateral amt
liquidates it, nil over $200,000 mi ll Bed will

Bunk through the receiver.
Banka Undisturbed.
As nn indication that the temporary un
rest caused by the close of the Neal. Bank
bus almost entirely disappeared, it was
authoritatively reported by bunk officials
Tuesday that new deposits were coming In I
In larger numbers ami that comparatively
few withdrawals were recorded.
A number of sum II depositors who became
alarmed Monday nml drew their money
attorney general, claimed a lien on all
Us assets until the execution in favor of
the state was fuljy satisfied. The re
ceiver was ordered by the judge who
heard the case to disregard the claims
of the state, and tie was further direct
ed to allow parties indebted to said
bank by promissory notes or other evi
dences of Indebtedness, to offset such
indebtedness by whatever sums they
might have to their credit upon the
books of the concern. The state ex
cepted, and the decision of the lower
court was affirmed.
In rendering his decision, Justice
Lumpkin said:
“Where a bank which is a state de
pository becomes insolvent while In
debted to the state, and Its effects are
in the hands of a receiver, depositors
in the bank who are also Indebted to It
by promissory notes have the ri
set off against such notes in the
of the receiver the amounts Justly due
them respectively on their deposits.”
Justice Lumpkin held, however,“that
depositors in a savings bank or in the
savings department of a bank, could
not have their Indebtedness offset by
their deposits, holding that they are
shareholders in the bank, and' as guch
would be compelled to pay off their
Indebtedness to the bank and take
whatever per cen.t the bank was able
to pay upon deposits.
He Fired the Stick!
“I have fired the walking stick I’ve
carried over forty years, on account of
a sore that resisted every kind of treat
ment, until I tried Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve; that has healed the sore and
made me a happy man.” writes John
