great trouble has been that deposi

j dence to l« resorted to the extent'
f that all money formerly on deposit *
would be again with the banks. With !

provided with a basis of circulation,
and can Issue bauk notes nearly up
to the face value of the bonds. The
money obtained by the Government
in both transactions will be distribu
ted among banks for the relief ol
congestion.
Coupled with the news of the pro
posed issues' is the statement that
the banks of the South and West
are to be favored with the deposits to
aid in moving the cotton and wheat
crops.
" Heretofore, relief—or rather alleg
ed relief—lias been extended through
New York banks. It would be n
great calamity if any part of the
proceeds were to be deposited with
New York banks. That would mean
a locking up of the money as the
banks there have done against all
other sections, avhich is the very
thing sought to be remedied on the
part of the Individual depusltors. New
York is a great money center—far
itself.
The real relief for the money situa
tion is In sending abroad cotton and
wheat and bringing back gold in
exchange. The course of the New
York banks in tying up money and
making It more difficult to sell these
products stands squarely in the way
of the relief named. Wall street
started the panic and does all In Its
power to prevent the South and West
from breaking It. The New York
money mart Is sowing to the wind.

Rev. J. p. Wardlaw, pastor of the
First Methodist churoh, was treated
to a genuine surprise at the close of
the prayer meeting service Wednesday
night, when he was presented with a
handsome fiat silver service by mem

The night was the last prayer
meeting service which Dr. Wardlaw
will attend as pastor of the church

connection with the Americus church
will be severed, though with extreme
reluctance by the congregation.
In presenting the sliver service
last night, Mr. Culpepper said, In

"Fate decrees that farewell words
must be spoken and faithfuls loyal
friends and co-laborers must separate

different fields.
‘Tonight as we draw so near to

Dr. Wardlaw was much affected by
