Expel Klan But Will do it in
Orderly Manner.
(By Associated Press.)
White Sulphur Springs, W Va.
Doc. 16 —The fourteenth annual eon
ference of governors ended today with
a spirited discussion of the Ku Klux
Klan. Many exeeutive s then prepared
to leave for Washington to aci ept
President Harding's invitation to dis
miss prohibition at a luncheon Mon
day. The executives is as fol
lows: Cox, of Massachusetts Hardee,
of Florida: McCray, of Indiana. The
next meeting place is left to the exe
cutive committee.
Kansas will not drive the
Ku Klux Klan from the state by force,
but will expect to do It by refusing to
permit it to do business within the
state's boundaries, Governor Allen de-J
dared today at th P Covernor’s confejJj
ence. V
The writ being sought in the Kgusjß

"In Kansas, we are seeking to ex

the country that some misapprehen

by expelling the order, and the
thought has been expressed that itJ\.

“This is mot a t *U what the action
before the supreme court proposes.
Cnder the tewc of Kansas every or
ganization doing business within the
State must be chartered. The Ku
Klux Klan has a charter under the
laws of Cieorgla, and the action now
pending in the supreme court of the
sttfcfee is for the purpose of secnemg
g writ forbidding the Klan to do
business hereafter in Kansjp
• “The e a senc e of our opposition to
thi s organization is, fn fact, that it
does this under the protection of a
mask and through terroism and vio-
lence.

should have passed through the bap

it into action four years ago, only to

LONDON BELIEVES RUMOR

(By Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 16, —Tile diplomatic
and financial experts of the Loridon
morning newspapers are of the gen
eral opinion that the rumor of an
American or international loan to
Germany runs far ahead the fact.
Reports of possible financial assist|
anc P to the Germans, together wittf
the departure of Ambasador Harvey
to Washington next week and inti
mations that the Harding administra
tion is disposed to exert a helpful
i Influence:tn European affairs, attract,
wide attention here and Washington
and New York .dispatches bearing on
these questions fill th e leading col
umns of the press.
The morning Post financial editor
writes that financial quarters consid
er it unlikely that confidence in Ger
many can be sufficiently restored to
render an internation'l loan to that
| country at all probable for some time
to come, alhough some__day, under
favorable conditions, it "will he pos
sible.
Equally emphatic doubts are ex
pressed by several other newspapers
• -ilthough it is clear that the opinions
of their experts are not neccessarily
based on suspicion of Germany. The
Daily Telegraph’s diplomatic corres
pondent says that one qf the condit
lons iireceedent to any loan to Ger
many must be the sealing down of

Warsaw, Dec. 16.—Gabriel Naruto

a week ago. was assassinated today
while visiting an art exhibition.
K'ote—When Narutowlcz was in
augurated, the occasion was marked
by an all-day riot in front of the diet
building.' Ten were killed and many
wounded. The new President was
pelted with snowballs and curses.
Radicals? No; strange as it may
seem, it was the conservatives who
rioted. They were angry because the
new president did not meet their re
quirements as to beliefs and prac
tices. They call him a radical. S 0
they gave a patriotic riot, killed ten
and wounded many.
Poland is another of those old
world countries, but’ recently freed
from bondage. Rioting at inaugura
tion is just another symptom of the
unrest of a people who do not know,
how to co-ordinate its new liberties.

Merchants and Farmers Bank of
That City Taken Over by

DEAL MEANS MUCH
TO CITY AND SECTION
This Addition Places the Bruns
wick Bank & Trust Cos., in the
Class With Largest Banking
Housese in the State.
An Important financial transaction
of unusual local interest was an
nounced last night by President F.
D. Aiken, of The Brunswick Bank &
Trust Company, upon his return from
Jesup, where he had closed a contract
for the purchase of the Merchants <£
Farmers Rank of Jesup by The Bruns
wick Bank & Trust company.
As is well known, the Merchants
& Farmers Bank was au old estab
lished financial institution of Wayne
county, being for many years oper
ated under the supervision of H. W.
Whaley, who died several years ago.
Those in charge of the bank more re
cently desired to retire from the ac
tive hanking business, and this result
ed in negotiations with The Bruns
wick Bank & Trust Company, which
culminated yesterday in the local
bank absorbing the business of the
Jesup institution.
It will be recalled that The Bruns*
wick Bank & Trust Company estab
lished a branch in Jesup in July, 1921,
and this progressive step on the part
of the Brunswick institution was
heartily appreciated by the people of
that community as was manifested
by the splendid support given it from
its inception, the deposits of that sep
arate branch having grown ,Ifi thii
short time to approximately $160,-
000.00.
The directors of the Jesup branch,
in addition to President Aiken, are
Dr. J, TANARUS, Colvin, M. A. E. Knight and
Mr. H. W. Pearson; Mr. Pearson be
ing also the cashjer of the branchr
bank. Mr. S. R. Pearson is the assist-’
ant cashier. The executive officers
of The Brunswick Bank & Trust com
pany are F. D. Aike/i, L.
11. Hayrn, vice President E.
Twifcty, vice president,. MwUk
in, cashier.
Since the combining of
banks at Jesup, the total
the Jesup branch aggregate approxi
mately $300,000.00, with resources of
nearly $400,000.00. , This gives Jesup
Probably the strongest bank of any
city of like size in Georgia. '
The total de.posits of The Bruns
wick Bank & Trust Company, includ
ing its branches at Arco and Jesup,
now approximate one and one-half
million dollars, whilapthe total re
sources have growl# to exceed two
bod’ one-quarter J®Jion dollars.
As is Well known, in addition to
these large total resources, The
Brunswick Bank & Trust company,
being a member of the Federal Re
serve System, has that added strength
behind not only Its home office but
behind each of its branches as well.
The. announcement of this combina
tion is of particular interest to the
People’ of Brunswick because it shows
the expanding influence of our finan
cial and business institutions in the
adjoining territory. Our ! business
people will all realize the significance
of movements of this character be
cause it means that the people of
Jesup, and Wayne county will be
drawn in closer contact with the bus
iness' interests of Brunswick. This
will result in decided advantage to
both communities.
The News believes that thp people
in this entire section wilt, appreciate
this further manifestation of the pro
gressiveness of The Brunswick Bank
& Trust Company and join with us
in extending to the officers and di
rectors of this strong financial insti
tution hearty good wishes for contin
ued growth and success.
