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.

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.
