Announcements
, To the Voters of the (Dublin Judicial
Circuit:
I am a candidate for the office of
solicitor general of the Dublin judi
cial circuit, subject to the result of
the primary election to be held in
1912. In event of my election I shall
strive to discharge the duties of the
office rigidly, impartially and faithful
ly.
I believe that a solicitor should pros
ecute the rich and the poor, the high
and low alike. No man’s money, nor
liia social or political standing should
le used to defeat the ends of justice;
that all who violate the law should be
made to endure its penalty.
I am in favor of abolishing the fee
System, placing solicitor generals on
salary, running the courts with dis
patch and economy, strict and due en
forcement of the law, rigid obser
vance of the election law, stamping
out and forever obliterating the use of
liquor and money in elections; a heal
thy sentiment that is the exponent of
the majesty and supremacy of law
and good government.
I respectfully solicit the suffrage
of all the voters of the circuit.
Yours truly,
E. L. STEPHENS.

Reasons Why
YOU SHOULD HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH
The Irwinton Bank
Because
IT HELPS MY CREDIT TO PAY MY BILLS WITH CHECKS ON THE BANK AND CREATES A FAVORA
BLE IMPRESSION AMONG BUSINESS MEN, AS THEY NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH LARGER I COULD
MAKE THE CHECK.
Because
IT SETS MY FAMILY A GOOD EXAMPLE AND SHOWS THEM THAT 1 HAVE THEIR WELFARE AT
HEART. BY TAKING CARE OF MY MEANS.
Because
I DO NOT ENDANGER THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY OR MY OWN BY HAVING THE REPUTATION OF A
MAN WHO KEEPS HIS MONEY IN HIS POCKET OR HIDES IT ABOUT HIS HOME. I BELIEVE FUNDS
ARE SAFER IN THE BANK THAN IN MY POCKET OR AT HOME.
Because
IT WILL HOLD ME UP WHEN I AM SICK OR OUT OF WORK.
Because
A bank account creates a desire and pride to make it as large as possible, and it is wise for all of us to pro
vide for the “RAINY DAY’’ which comes sooner or later.
Because
If I pay my debts by drawing check on the bank, the check must be endorsed before the bank will pay it, and
then it becomes a legal receipt for my money paid. No one can claim 1 did not pay them, as I can show their
endorsement on the check which paid the debt.
Because
If I keep a good account with the bank and meet with some disaster and do not have sufficient money for
my purpose, the bank feels under obligations to loan me money, if I can secure them. The bank will nearly al
ways lend its depositors money when refusing to make loans to other people.
Because
It gives me a standing at home which can come in no other way. I am not regarded as one of “the ne’er
do wells” of the community, not able to have a bank account, or as one of the suspiciously ignorant, who are
opposed to all advanced civilization.
Because x
If I have an account, the officers and directors of the bank appreciate the confidence I place in them, and
they are always willing to give me advice on business matters, in which they are often experts. They are
sometimes well versed in commercial law; and their advice is free to their * customers. It pays me to be
on good terms with a polite, clever, capable banker.
Because
I do not give the wrong change and always have tie right change. lam not tempted to buy things be
cause I have the money in my pocket. It systematizes my affairs and enables me to run try business in
stead of it running me. I see our best and most successful business men with bank accounts. I believe my
home bank is solvent, conservative and courteous and to be e'omposed of honorable and worthy men.

KEEFIitS AT NEW ORLEANS

I Myron T. Herrick Will Launch a
Campaign for Financing Farm De
velopment Under Government Su
pervision—2,soo Bankers At New
Orleans.
More than 2,500 bankers had regie-!
tered for the opening at New Or :
leans, of the thirty-seventh annual
convention of the American Bankers'
asabclatlon.
Monday was devoted to committee
meetings, and the convention proper
opened Tuesday.
j A bitter fight is expected to develop
■ln the convention over a proposed
amendment to the constitution of the
association, designed to prevent the
future possibility of the organization
being controlled by a few members. I
C. H. McNider, president of the First
National bank, of Mason City, lowa,
will offer an amendment to the con
stitution providing that the chairman
of the executive council afid the vice
president of the association shall be
ineligible to election to a higher office
after expiration of their terms of of
fice. .
Selecting Council Head.
! For the first time In the history of
the association It can not be forecast
i ed with any degree of certainty who
I will be elected chairman of the execu- j
five council. Prominent among the ■
candidates for this office are William
George, of Aurora, Ill.; Sol Wexler,
of New Orleans, and Arthur Reynolds,
1 of Des Moines, treasurer of the asso
; ciation.
C. H. Huttig, chairman of the ex
ecutive council, who will be elevated
to the vice-presidency, recently under
went an operation at his home in St. I
Louis and will be unable to attend the j
■convention.
An important resolution submitted
for consideration by Myron T. Her
rick, former governor of Ohio, sug- ■
gosts a plan for financing farm devel
opment under government supervision.
Mr. Horrick favors the organization
of a corporation to operate under gov
ernment supervision, which will make
long tarm loans to land-owning farm
ers at. a small rate of interest and
possibly the adoption of an amortiza
tion plan which would enable the
; farmer to pay the loan through the
addition of small -sums annually to
tho interest rate.

JOINING REBELS. -
Chinese Cities Going Over to New
Government;
Practically the entire southern hall [
of Fo-Kien province has gone over to’l
• the revolutionists. There are disor
ders in the interior.
At Chang-How rival factions are
fighting for control of the local gov
ernment.
Foo Chow reports that provisional
government there is trying to restore
order; people who had fled are re
turning to the city, and the shops ■
are being opened.
Hing-Hwa, a coast city, about 250 :
miles south of Foo Chow, has accept-1
ed the new government quietly, and!
many of the old officials remain at I
their posts.
In Amoy the radical element is or- ’
ganizing the republican government. 1
The moderates who wished to declare
Amoy independent, without commit
ting it to the revolutionary cause, are
not being consulted.
Warning is Sounded.
A dispatch from Ellensboro, Wash., ,
says: Fearing the great storage dam
at Lake Kaches will break any min
ute, men are riding through the Ya
i kima valley warning the people to
i flee. Five hundred governmept em
ployees are working to control the
flood of waters that are gushing over
the storage dam. To save the dam it
j may be necessary at any moment to
, release the flood waters stored back
l of it. If that is done the damage in
Yakima valley will be enormous. An
enormous quantity of water is stored
in Lake Kaches and adjoining lakes.
Savannah Girl Dies- cf Rabies.
J As a result of a dog bite on her
cheeks six weeks ago, little Grace
Cannarella died in the throes of an
authenticated case of rabies at Savan-
| nah. It is the first case on record in
! the health office in Savannah in which
a human being has been the victim.
For twelve hours before death re
lieved her suffering the child, who
was four years old, the daughter cf
j Matthew Cannarella, was in great dis-1
: tress. The physician in attendance '
called in Dr. Yt H. Bassett, city bac
teriologist, who agreed with the diag
nosis of the physicians, pronouncing
it a case of rabies. The child died in
convulsions.
Child Bore Charmed Life.
Helen Bottlescki, aged 8, was
knocked down by a locomotive in
Pittsburg, Pa., and while the engine
passed over her body she escaped
without a scratch. Stone ballasting
is being done where the accident oc
curred and when ' the loco not; ; 3
' passed the child scrambled to her f- I
and ruahed to a group of spectators
who hud seen the accident.
