THE CLEARING-HOUSE SYSTEM
There seems to be considerable
misnrderdtandiog as to the exact
functions of a clearing-house. In
quiries arc frequently made as to
the work it performs, and there is
confessedly a general ignorance con
cerning the system outside of banks
ing and limited business circles.
The New York clearing house is the
model on which all others are based
It has sixty-four members, and there
are in the city and its neighborhood
eighty-three other banks and trust
companies which clear through mem
bers of the association. The busi
ness of each of these is handled by
its clearing agent. Each member in
making his settlements daily deals
directly with the clearing house.
The Clerk of Bank A, for instance,
goes to the clearing house in the
morning with packagesof checks for
perhaps every other bank in the
eociation. He may find the /clerks
of all the other banks waiting with
packages for him. There is a grand
exchange, and each clerk receives
the checks for vh'rh the bank is re-
si onsible.
So bank A, which perhaps has de
livered sixty-three packages
checks and received as many in re
tain, finds that is called upon to pay
out, aay, $5,500,000 while it is en-
till d to receive $5,500,000 that is,
it is a debtor to the extent of $100,
000, and.by paying np that sum to
the clearing-house it “squares” its
accounts fbrthe day.
By 1 :S0 p. m. it makes its pay-
pent. The other debtor banks have
done the same and the clearing house
proceeds to pay off the creditor banks.
It disburses just what it receives.
If any bank finds that in the morn
ing’s it h£8 received bad checks it
sends them back before 3 o’clock to
the banks Com which they came.
So well does the clearing system
work that the cash balances average
only about 5 per cent, of the total
clearings.

CLEVELAND ON STATE BANKS-
If reports be trne, Mr. Cleveland I
favors the repeal of the prohibitory
ten per cent tax on state banks, and
thoe the outlook for the passage of
a law to that effect brightens. Mr.
Cleveland as a democrat could not
do less in the way of canying ont
the platform plei’^e, as the party
stands squarely committed to that
issue, and as a financier bis head is
level on that subject, if each be his
views. The establishment of snch a
system of banks nnder proper re
strictions and backed np by the gov
ernment wonld give the country a

WHAT THEY BAY.
Captain James White,of the National
bank, was of the opinion that the cot
ton crop will be moved if the farmers
will sell right along. He did not thiDk
the money situation would warrant the
holding of cotton. Ho could not state
with positiveness the developments of
the future, but believed that the banks
would be able to meet the demands of
the situation in regard to the moving of
the ootton crop.
M •- A. L. Hull, cashier of the Uni
versity bank, was of a like opinion
He believed that if the shippers would
start off tho moving rf the crop by the
sale of a thousand bales and drawing
against the purohase, it would be an
easy matter f r r the banks to keep mat'
ters in good shape after that. The
point of difficulty was getting tne
movement started. After it was
once started there wou
be practically no more
trouble. He saw no reason for appre
hension in this regard.
Mr. G, A. Hell, cashier of the Sav
ings Bank, said that the money market
was getting easier day by day and that
he saw no reason why the banks
Athens couldn’t do as they have always
done in legard to securing money with
which to move the crop. He was firm
in the belief that the crop could be
moved but not held.
President J. J. C. McMahan, of the
Exchange Bank, believed everything to
be brightening and that the cotton crop
would b • moved bo far as Athens is con
cerned, He, too, did not believe that
money could be commanded to hold
the crop.
Thus from the interviews with the
bankers two things seem to be pretty
well settled: 1st, that money will
secured with which to move the crop
2od, that it will be impossible to fur
nish money with which to hold it.
Hence tbe logical conclusion to
raached is that the best thing to
done by the farmer is to sell cotton
right along.
Wednesda y morning at eight o’clock.
2W r. Reuben T. Comer died at the resi-
deuco or hit- sun, Mr. James T. Comer,
m Msy&ville, Ga , after a lorg illness,
in the seventy-sixth year of his age.
Mr. Comer wss well-known in Ath
ens, as the greater part of bis nsefnl
life was spent in this city. Far back
in the forties he came to Athens, and
for a time followed his trade, that of a
carpenter, and was engaged in work on
tbe block of buildings known as gran
ite row. Mr. T. Bishop formed his ac-
quaiutaacb and, admiring his charsc
ter, had Mr. Comer in his employ for
many years, in the store-rot m, on the
corner now occupied by Miobael Bros
His upright character was such that h*
won the respect of all who knew him
Unswerviog integrity was a ch >r*cter-
iatic cf the mar, and he was one that
could hold the scales of justice wit*
unshaken hand, even th.ugh his own
interests were at ctake.
From early manhood be was a mem
berof the Methodist church, and h
was one of those happy, joyoiu Oh: is
tians that always earned ru ishine
and joy with him. We supp »e
might bo e&id of him th&t he bad daily
the witness of the spirit that he was a
child of Gcd. There was nothing
ostentatious about him, but in an u
obsir^sive way be let tbe light of hit
Christian profession shine out, ar.d all
that knew him were satisfied that bis
religion was real.
For many years he was an exhorter,
and in the days of his prime he magni
fied h ? 8 offico. Some of bis ci’courset
were delivered with great power and
unction, and were instrumen
tal in doing great good. His educa
tional advantages weie limited, but he
made up for this in fervor and zeal
His language was always good, and
sometimes under the Spirit’s p >wer was
really eloquent. One peculiarity about
Mr. Comer was that he was always
ready for religious work, and at almost
a moment’s warning could deliver one
of his warm exhortations that wonld
fire a congregation. He loved the
church and the people of God, and was
always ready to do what he could for
the cause of the Master.
For three or four years past Mr.
Comer has been in very feeble health
He suffered from a sun-stroke and be
gan to decline and has been very feeble
for mnch of the time In addition
bodiiy infirmities his mind was also
much affected, and this rendered him
g’moat helpless He has been living
with his son, Mr. Jas. T. Comer, at
Mayesville, for these years, and bis
aged companion and ohildren have
ministered affectionately to him in his
weakness and helplessness. He leaves
an aged companion acd five sons and
number c-f grandchildren, and many
friends to mourn his death.

Drug Store,
Washington, D. C., September 6 —
Wm. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky
has by bis attorney, filed his demurrer
to the declaration of Madeline Y Pol
lard, filed in the Supreme court of the
District of Columbia August 12,1893.
charging him with breaoh of promise
of marriage and askiDg damages in the
sum of $50,000. This was the last day,
under rules of the court, in which an
swer could be filed to save a judgment
being entered by default, and it was
within 15 minutes of 4 o’clock—the
hour of closing the doors of the court
—that the demurrer was handed to the
clerk. The demuirer is exceptionally
brief and avers that the declaration of
the piaintifi was bad in substance. The
demurrer is based on the three follow
ing points of law, which will be argued
in its support:
1st. Tne said declaration consists of
three sepirate counts which improper
ly allege three separate contracts of
marriage and allege that said contracts
to marry were subsisting at one and
tYe same time.
2d. Not more than one contract to
marry can subsist at the same time be
tween two persons.
3d. The third count of said declara
tion is bad because it alleges matters
and things which cannot be in law sub
stantial facts necessary to constitute a
cause of action, thereby violating rule
20 of the common law rules cf the court.
