CONYERS, GA„ WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1893.
A default of $65,000 in interest is
charged.
At a meeting of the directors of the
savings banks in New York city, Fri¬
day night, it was decided that all the
savings institutions should take ad¬
vantage of the sixty days’ notification
clause by depositors. This movement
will in no way affect Wall street. It
will only affect the small depositors
and will in no way touch the market
or national banks. The steady drain
by small depositors has undoubtedly
caused the officials of the different in¬
stitutions to take this action.
The employes of the immence works
of the Clark O. N. T. Thread compa¬
ny at Newark, N. J., were surprised
Thursday on reading the following
notice posted on the gates: “The em¬
ployes of this company* are hereby
notified that until further notice the
company*’s employes of the mill will
work from 7 o’clock a. m. to 4 o’clock
p. m., Saturdays excepted.” The
company has on their pay list over
1,600 and the action in reducing the
hours of labor will be severely felt,
especially in Harrison and Kearney.

There was nothing in its condition to
warrant this run or to occasion suspi
cion as to its solvency. It seems to have
been prudently managed and its re¬
sources are unusually free from items
of questionable value, there being no
bad debts. The bank is solvent and
should be permitted to resume. The
depositors very generally express a
desire to have the bank resume and
promise every assistance in their pow¬
er. The available assets of the bank
amount to $964,283.95: its liabilities
to$708 228 .25. The remainder of.itsre
consist of cash and itemsreadily
convertcil into cash.” The idea of the
comptroller in making this statement
pubue is to show the fallacy of the
theory that everything is going to
rack and ruin because banks are clos
ing here and there. If the people who
have money on deposit were, not panic
stricken and did not join in wild and
unjustifiable runs many banks which
are now closed would have remained
open and done a healthy business,

ANGRY SEMINOLES.
A Pale Face Slaps the Chief’s Son and
Trouble May Result.
A Jacksonville special of Saturday
says: There is fear that the Seminole
Indians in south Florida may again
go on the warpath after over forty
years of peace. “Little Tiger,” a
chief of that portion of the scattered
tribes which has its villages on the
edge of the Everglades, not far west of
Biseayne bay, is now on his way to
Tallaliasseo to seek an official inter¬
view with Governor Mitchell upon a
matter which ho and his tribe consider
a serious insult to the Seminoles.
“Little Tiger” has a young son who
lias been taught the use of the bow and
arrow, and the rifle, and is an expert
shot afield as well as an excellent
marksman, This summer the tribo
has moved its habitation eastward
somewhat in order to he nearer tho
bay and ocean, where it is cooler, as
well as to fish. This has brought them
quite close to the white villages which
border on the bay Bascayne, and “Lit¬
tle Tiger’s” boy has been hunting, it
appears, too near tho settlements. Ho
