NO BANKING REFORM LEGISLATION NOW Important Changes Needed For More Safety Demanded. It is evident from an Atlanta dispatch which we published yes terday that there is to be no leg islation at this session of the Leg islature reforming the state bank ing system. Few, if any, of the members of the Legislature out side of the members of the com mittee having charge of state banking interests appear to know anything about the bill pending for giving the state an entirely new and safe banking system. Is this because the bankers them selves are indifferent and have neglected to push the bill or is it because legislators don’t bother with questions that require thought and study unless they are urged and pressed to do so, or is there some other reason?* This question of giving the state a better banking system, a safe and sound system, is a high ly important one. The number of banks is increasing all the time, and some of them, if re ports are correct, rest upon rather shaky foundations and are man aged in a slipshod sort of way. Now and then one of them goes to the wall even in this time of peace in the financial world. What would happen to many of them if ripples should roughen the financial waters? And yet in them are the de posits of thousands of people who are depending upon those whom they have chosen to make their laws to protect their interests— to provide a banking system that would insure the safety of the banks in any ordinary financial trouble. The Legislature dosen’t seem to be awake to its responsibili ties. It has been told many times that there is imperative need of reform of the present banking system. The warning apparent ly has made no impression on it. Comparatively unimportant lo cal bills relating to some little office or some minor matter get attention, while the bill in which more than a hundred banks are interested, upon which, in fact, the prosperity of the state in a measure depends is neglected, if, in fact, it isn’t forgotten.—Sa vannah News.

Grapes In Appling. Mr. D. D. Gilmore has three grape vines growing in his front yard which were set in February a year ago. They are the Niaga ra, Concord and Everbearing and each one of the vines are produc ing abundantly this year. This is one thing to which the people of Appling county should give a little more attention. There is nothing like the fruit produced here that there should be. — Bax ley Banner. Isn't Man a Curious Animal? Man drinks whiskey, and that clogs the valves; he drinks beer, and that clogs the wheels, he downs lemonade, ginger ale, but termilk, ice tea, coffee and what not, and then wonders why the boilers do not burn. If you should take an ox and put him through a like performance, he would be dead in a month. The simplest and plainest laws of health are o itraged every day by the aver age man. Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear a corset? Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did the children of Israel make for a beer garden after crossing the Red Sea? Did Rebecca chew gum drops, chocolate bonbons, and ice cream and call for soda water? Adam was the first man and was made perfect from head to heel how long would he remain so after eating pie before going to bed? Suppose he had slept in a bedroom 5x7, with the windows closed down, the doors shut and two dogs under the bed? Sup pose Eve had been laced up in a corset, worn tight shoes with English heels, hobble fig leaves and sat up all hours of the night, eating chicken salad and Welsh rare-bits and trying to keep on four pounds of dead people’s hair! Poor Father! The other day the Duke of Westminster lent Grosvenor House for a meeting of the In valid Children’s Aid Association, and during the meeting one very good story was told, says Pear son’s. A speaker mentioned that one child who had been helped by the society was asked for her father’s name. “Smith,” she said. “And what is his Christian name?” was the next question. “ ’E ain’t got one,” answered the child, obviously not having a ghost of an idea what sort of a thing a Christian name might be. “Oh, he must have one!” per sisted the questioner. “Let me see; what does your mother call him?” “Block’ead!” was the stagger ing reply. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUG. 7, 1013 Bees Yield a Profit Without Cost of Feed. If people knew T what a great ; source of profit is found in the keeping of bees and how interes ting the work, there wouldn’t be an unused square foot of ground on any farm in the Uni ted States. Bees are the only producers known to husbandry that yield a profit without cost of feed. They find their own pasturage. They I multiply so rapidly that they more than pay for the small ini j tial expense of housing them, ! and the first cost of equipment is almost trilling. Bee culture may be made prof itable by the children of the farm, or by the women members of the family. It may be carried on successfully in conjunction with the keeping of poultry or the growing of fruit. In the lattei case, apiculture is found to be a great help toward more fruit and better fruit. Bees are little trouble, and re quire only occasional attention. They are easily handled and readily controlled. Best of all, ! they give a real service in hard cash, and that counts most on the farm. Wesley Foster, Colorado State Bee Inspector. Next to Being an Editor. The preacher has a hard time. If his hair is gray he is old. If he is a young man, he hasn’t had experience. If he has ten chil dren, he has too many. If he has none, he should have, and isn’t setting a good example. If his wife sings in the choir she is presuming. If she don’t she isn’t interested in her husband’s work. If a preacher reads from ! notes he is a bore. If he speaks I extemporaneously, he is not deep enough. If he stays at home in his study, he dosen’t mix with j the people. If he is seen around on the streets, he ought to be at home getting up a good sermon. If he calls on some poor family I he is playing to the grand stand. !If he calls at the home of the ' rich, he is an aristocrat. What ever he does some could have told him how to do better. He has a fine time living off dona tions which never come in, and promises that never mature. Next to being an editor, it is an awful life. —Ex. What Shall He Sow in Cotton for Winter Pasture? A reader asks what is best to sow in cotton along in August in order to make winter pasturage? If late fall and winter pas turage is desired we know of nothing that will give satisfac tory results except some of the ! cereals—barley, wheat, oats or ' rye, writes Tait Butler in the Progressive Farmer. If the land is quite rich, we have stated them in order of merit, and if the soil is poor the order should be re versed. On medium land oats and wheat will probably give best results. It is possibly true that oats or rye will stand rather too early seeding better than bar ley or wheat, but as our reader lives pretty well towards the northern border of the cotton ! belt, it is probable that he may • be able to sow’ any of these dur : ing the latter part of August, | although we would prefer sow ; ing immediately after the first j picking of cotton in September, i In order to obtain more and bet ! ter late winter and early spring 'grazing it might be well to sow ! some vetch or crimson clover seed with these cereals. 1 f these have not been grown on the land, however, they are not like ly to do very much good the first year unless the soil is inoculated. For grazing any of the cereals should be sowed thicker, or more seed used than is customary with these crops when sowed to har vest for seed. Notice to Public.
