The affairs, condition of the and association^pe its prospects •u better are brighter than, ever before in its history. Interest in the Uncle Remus Memorial movement da stronger and wider spread than ever.

Tickets for the Roosevelt address have been on sale at the Cable Plano Company ever since Saturday morn¬ ing and will be on .sale there every day until the eve of the lecture.

Mon¬ day the sale continued with every indication that the hall will be filled tc its capacity. Several large blocks of seats have been reserved for the students of various leading local educational in¬ stitutions, including Agnes Scott col¬ lege, the Georgia School of Technol¬ ogy, Cox College, the Marist College, the Woodberry School, Mrs. Cunning¬ ham’s school and the Washington Seminary.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27th.—Tyrus Raymond Cobb of Royston, Ga., probably the leading batter of the American League this year; and Na¬ poleon Rucker, of (Jrabapple, Ga., doubtless the best left hander in the National League, will meet this fall on the Atlanta Automobile Associa¬ tion’s speedwmy, in a match race for Speedway Championship of the big leagues. Cobb is battling bravely now for possession of the Chalmer’s automo¬ bile, offered for the big leagues’ best batter this year and stands a good show of winning it. If he does he may drive that machine against Ruck¬ er’s own car, a speed Buick. If the men do not drive their own machines they will use cars selected from the array that will be on hand for the fall races. Cobb has long been an automobile bug of the most pronounced type. Last fall he drove a machine in the Journal-Herald, New York-to-Atlan¬ ta run and was one of the warmest fans at the Speedway meet. Rucker is an antoist of several years standing. One day a few years back, he walked into the local Buick ageucy, said he wanted to look at an automobile, found one that suit¬ ed his fancy and nearly knocked the salesman cold, by peeling the coin off a monumental roll of bills and driving away in the machine. It was not until months later that the salesman knew that he had disposed of a car to one of baseball’s most famous south side hurlers. It has not been decided in just what sort of a race the two famous Cracker ball players will meet, but it will probably be in a ten mile affair. May Become An Evangelist. Rev. A. C. Shuler former pastor of the Western Heights Baptist church, this city, and now pastor of the Bap¬ tist Tabernacle in Newborn N. C. will probably give up his pastorate ahortly and enter the evangelistic field in Georgia. Mr. Shuler, who started a two weeks’ revival meeting Sunday morn¬ ing at the Capitol View Baptist church has been urged by a number of influ¬ ential churchmen to become an evan¬ gelist and has taken the matter under advisement. He has not given a de¬ cision as yet, but is expected his to make a definite announcement of plans within the next few weeks. During the meeting at the Capitol View church, Mr. Shuler will conduct services every afternoon at 3 o’clock and night at 7:30 o’clock.—Atlanta Georgian. Notice, Odd Fellows. Regular meetings held every second and fourth Thursday night of each month. All members in good stand¬ ing cordially Invited to meet with us. J. J. CORLEY, N. G. J. W. PEEK, Sect’y.—1 yr. THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1910. PLENTY OF MONEY SAYS GOVERNMENT. TREASURY DEPARTMENT PRE¬ DICTS THERE WILL BE NO FINANCIAL STRINGENCY. Washington, Sept. 25—It is un¬ likely that there will be any shortage of money this fall anywhere in the United States. This is not to be con¬ strued as a promise to any particular individual but is the large impersonal view of the treasury department, whose hand is on the pulse of the na¬ tion’s financial and business life, and represents the opinion of officials who constantly watch for symtoms of stringency. In their opinion, the danger mark, if there has been one during several months past, has been left astern. They give these raasons for their prediction of plentiful mon¬ ey. Shortage Was Feared. Primarily the banks saw what look¬ ed like a money shortage doming sev¬ eral months ago. They^ knew they could expect no help from the United States treasury such as .they got in 1908 and prepared themselves. They have piled up gold, built up reserves and cut down risky loans and bonds and other securities which might not be turned into fhioney. New loans have been closely scrutinized. The banks have thus fortified them selves against an emergency. How well they did it was. seen last week when $10,000,000 was moved out of New York to other banks and done very easily. Panics foreseen never come, financiers say. Money is plentiful in England and on the continent. That is always said to be a good sign in making a prediction for this country. Nearly every crop in this court try this year is reported to be a hamper one. Corn will set a new 7 record, JFour-fifths of the crop has been gath¬ ered to the chances from frost are small. The oat crop is the greatest in years. Cotton Crop Will Be Brg. j ^ The cotton crop will be 1,000,000 bal¬ es greater than it was last year. The other crops are reported very large. Next month it is estimated that inves¬ tors over the country will received $170,000,000 in dividend checks from industrial, railroad and other corpora¬ tions. That will add to the money generally in circulation. The record crops are one argument against a money shortage because by this means the United States will have a great amount of food and manufacturing materials to sell to Europe, Europe in the meantime will be sell¬ ing material to America but undoubt¬ edly not to the extent it did last year and herefore will owe America money. This will be paid in gold which comes across the ocean in bars. The Banks will take it to the United States mints or sub-treasuries to be stored away in the vaults and gold certificates will be issued to represent it. Thus several more millions of dollars will come in¬ to circulation for business. This is what financiers call “the bal¬ ance in trade,” and in such an instance it would be in our favor. Little Money in Treasury. The question may be asked why the treasury department could not help the banks now as it did in 1958. Be¬ cause it has not the money. The ex¬ pense of digging the Panama canal is from $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 per month, and is a drain an the nation’s ready cash. It was the intention to build the eanaJ with borrowed money from the sales of Panama canal bonds, hut for many reasons bonds could not be sold on favorable term? and Uncle Sam has bej.i pay rtg his cans! work¬ ers out of Ins cash drawer anti! now the canal owes the treasury $125, 000 , 000 . One of the best reasons why trea ury officials believe there will be no money stringency is that the national banks are preparing themselves to is sue $500,000 extra currency as the emergency currency law provides—if they have to. Secretary MacVeagh believes the common knowledge that such an immense reserve is avaiible, will atop any general move to take money out of the banks to hoard it in stockings. A Sin of Omission.
