Talks on Banking
To the averago: person a bank is
bank—“a placo to put money;”
and for all ordinary purposes this
h enough to know, provided, of
lourse, the bank is sound and
worthy of confidence. It is well,
however, to understand that there
are different kinds of banks and to
know the distiuquishing character
istics of each.
We have in this country four
kink of banking institutions: (a)
National bank; (b) State banks;
(c) Trust Companies; (d) Savings
blinks. All the foregoing receive
money on deposit and pay it hack
again, as a rule, on demund; but
the rules under which deposits are
received differ. All the foregoing
hut the savings hunks have capital
stock and are owned Und controlled
by stockholders. Savings banks
are of two kinds—stock savings
banks and mutual savings banks
The difference between these will
be noted'later, the present talk
will treat of national bunks only.
National banks arc under the
direct supervision of the Comp
troller of the Currency and are not
subject to slate laws oxcept in the
matter of taxes. In country dis
tricts they cannot organise with a
capital of less tliun $25,000, while
in larger places the capital require
ments arc greater. National banks
do a general banking business,
which consists of receiving depos
its, paying checks and making
loans. The one feature whicli dis
tinguishes national banks from all
others is the issue of national bank
notes, which form a large part of
the circulating currency of the
country. These notes are secured
by government bonds deposited
with the Treasurer at Washington,
and every national bank note is in
rcnlity part of a government bond,
cut up into small denominations
for convenience. Under the Fed
eral Reserve Act these will ulti
mately be retired and the Federal
Bank Notes will take their place*
but it will be some years before
this is accomplished.
The national banks were institu-
cd after the Civil War as agencies
of the government, and were in
reality organized under a plan
which made a market for the gov
ernment bonds. They are requir
ed to report to the Comptroller'of
the Currency five times a year
without notice, the report dating
back a few days for obvious rea
sons. They are also required to be
examined twice each year by the
directors, and arc visited by the
national bank examiners also twice
each year without notice. The ex|
aminers go carefully into nil the
various details, particularly into the
loans, and arc as conversant with
the larger borrowers as the direc
tors.
The national banking system has
proven sound in its principles, ef
ficient in its management, and satis
factory in all its operations. Un-
der the Federal Reserve Act mem
ber banks may take promissory
notes of a certain type and turn
them into money in the course of
a few hours, by rediscounting them
at the Federal Reserve Bank, which
is a valuable feature. This is not
to say, however, that a national
band is better than any other type
of institutions, but they have en
joyed long years of prosperity and
able management, with little loss
to their depositors.

“Kingdom of Grief"
By Gray Gorham
Asheville, N. C., July 19, 191
A campaign to secure a millii n
yards of cloth for the relief of the
sufferers in the ‘‘Kingdoms of
Grief,” Belgium and Northern
France, wus launched here today
by the North Carolina Commission
for Relief iu Belgium. According
to the announcement from the
State Headquarters here, the Com
mission will call it the “million
Yards of Cloth” campaign, and
special appeals will be made to the
cloth manufacturers of the South
and to the citizens of North Caro
lina. It is desired that cotton cloth
of any kind (ginghams, calicoes,
etc.) be given in -the Ifearflpaign.
Cloth in any length, style, color or
quality will he acceptable during
this campaign.
Owing to the strict war regula
tions against sending second-hand
articles of clothing into the coun
tries which receive help through
the commission, it is absolutely
necessary that all cloth be new.
It is especially desired by the
Commission that cloth which has
not been made into wearing ap
peal'd be sent, owing to the fact
that the cloth shipped to the scene
of the sufferers can be made into
clothing by them, thereby giving
employment to thousands of idle
people who, due to the conditions
of their countries, cannot find work
to do. According to the statistics
gathered by the Commission, there
are 3,000,000 human beings in Bel
gium and Northern France in need
of clothing, and these poor unfor
tunates have become wholly de
pendent upon the generosity of the
good peoplo of the United States.
The situation is said to be so ser
ious that, even though the school
are open and runnin, the children
have to take turns in attending,
owing to the scarcity of clothing to
cover their bodies.
To those who might ask if the
situation in Belgium has not been
relieved by the gifts of American
people, the Commission states that
while great and untold good has
been accomplished by the gener
osity of the people of this country,
the situation in these countries,
where food and clothing are being
sent, is growing worse day by day;
and this is due to the fact that the
resources of the people who since
the war started have helped them
selves, have now been exhausted
and these people, too, have turned
to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium Government has requist-
ioned ail Belgum ships and placed
them at the disposal of the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium.
The “Million Yards of Cloth”
campaign will be conducted in such
a manner that the smallest gift,
even one yard of cloth from any
individual, will be-received, or the
largest from the most generous-
herated Southern manufacturer.
The Commission for Relief in Bel
gium ia the only organization that
can guarantee the safe delivery to
any point in Belgium or Northern
France of goods given by Ameri
cans for the benefit of the millions
of suffering women, children and
babies of the “Kingdoms of Grief.”
The operating expenses of the
Commission have been so system
atized, it is stated, that it expends
less than three-fourths of. one per
cent of the value of the goods
handled; its officers serve without
pay; it has no money of its own;
it acts for steward for the benevol
ence of others. The Commission
so worked out the care of the peo
pie of the stricken sections that
seven cents a day will feed a wom-\
an, child or baby, and $1.50 will
clothe a baby and $3.00 will clothe
an adult.
The general receiving station for
freight and express is the Commis
sion for Relief i n Belgium at
Charleston, S. C., and all mail,
packages or letters should be ad
dressed to the Commission for re
lief in Belgium, Asheville, N. C.
