Tha wonderful piopr" "of the Saulh is in no way better illustrated than by the enormous growth of its banking facilities. In lSbO there were 200 national banliS in the entire South, ; from Maryland to Texas, . but now there are 1.2ai- In 1880 the nation ai banklnqr capital in thls-ser,tlon;was only ,$45,698,000, now It Is tl26.0ST. and while twenty-flve years ago the surplus of the South' national banks was only J9,00O,OOO and a few thous and over, it la now M,257,0O0, Na tional bank deposits' in the' South have grown from .$64,729,000' to over $469,032,000 within the same period.' But is. toy .comparison with 'the growth of the national 1 banking sys tem in the" entire country ..that 1 the establishment of national banks in the South . displays . Its conspictiqua gains.-,?The number of national banks In the entire country 'in 1880. was 2, 090, now -it Is ,757, an increase of .75.45 per cent, but .the growth in 'the South from 220 '..to-1.221 national banks is an increaae of 448 per cent' Furth ermoret. while- the." national. banking capital In , the whole country ad vane pa aunns;''- those ?. tweutyflve yoers from $457,653,985 to $799,870,229, an -Increase of 74.7$ per cent, the South's growth from over $4MW)Q0 to more than $126,000,000 ; jiattonal - banking capital- In the same time Is. a gain of 17140 per cent, also the '" national banking surplus In the whole coun try rose from over $126,0000,000 to near $4U,00O.OO. an -increase at 246.63 ,per cent.;, Jtmt the natlnal banking sur plus In the South by going from $9 000,000 to- over $50,000,000, displays an Increase -,o(,,. 457.73 ' per cent. '.-This shows i the ranidltv Of Southern , ad TOncementlHHatr;lklgr mannert- Not the least interesting feature er these' statistics Is In the grain dis played by ' sme States in . the (lum ber of national bank therein,, - Mis sissippi, for instance, had no national banks in jsuaitnougn tmrteen yearn previously she , had two bnt In' 1908 she aa twenty-five. The. great Btate ot -Texas had .thirteen national banks ' , quarter o fa century, ago, now she has 440; , Florida had only two theniut now 34'; Virginia had, 17. i now 85; .West ,Virgtnla had 17, but : now: 79; 'Georgia- ad is, now 63; Ala bama had 8, now, 67.' Both Maryland and Kentucky had each a comparative ly large number of national banks 1n 1880, the former possessing 35, and to-day 89, , while the .latter then-had 49, but now 4, '- s But '-most of the large gains in .the number of national banks are clearly results of -the act of March 14, 1900, authorising-, the' establishment of the national banks with less than $50,000 ; capital.1 Fori instance, in 1900, Texas had 123 national banks, now she has 440,; as ; heretofore ; stated; Alabama had, 28, How 7: Georgia 27. now ?8; Wast Virginia 40, now 79; Virginia 43, now 85; leKntucky 81, now 124; Arkan sas had. now 28 Louisiana 21, how 5f j. s! r . National banking capital In the South rose from a total of about $5, 506,000 In 1880 to nearly $92,500,000 .In 1890, yet during the last five years it has .risen from that comparatively low -figure to over $126,000,000. But there-has never : been any halt in the gain of -Southern banking surplus. Prom $9,000,000 In 1880 ft rose to $244. 000,000 In 1890, and to $30,000,000 in 190, and $50,000,000 in 1905. Undivided profits have gone up. from below $4, 000,000 In 1 1880 to nearly $12,000,000 In 1890, : to more than $15,000,000 in 1900, and to nearly $27,000 in 1905. Could any record Of accomplishment be more impressive than this. Yet It must be' remembered tbat In this quarter of a century deposits in Southern national banks . have in creased from a total- of $64,793 to a total of $469,032,328, which Is a gain of very nearly 625 per cent. And It must be furthermore not be forgotten j that these statistics do not : include the numerous v v private and State banks .in the - South, which r number i many more than - the national banks therein, - nor the trust Companies which also engage in banking, all of which classes of financial institutions i are constantly . grrowlng . la number and strength, - ,. ; - , . ; .

Mon day morning the mayor's; court was crowded with offenders, drunk "'' and disorderly conduct, ' due 1 to 'the 'Over Indulgence 1 In dtapensary liquors ' by the maddened crowd, On. Friday and Saturday before Christmas ' last year the streets were thronged, and on Sat urday Jhe streets were t. a . mass t of living, ' moving - human being,, yet there was less ; money : spent-for nlct gifts and something good to eat than for -whiskey. r ' ' a " ' The.

While ' Jt is , -true that "for 'several days before Christmas a large quantity of whla key came- to. this place through thf express office addressed to. many peo ple, vet there was not a man drunk on the streets Christmas day, and It was Monday. We must conclude that those who go.', whiskey h took it home and drank - it more moderately, : and the whiskey was of ; a -better quality than the dispensary liquor and had a ' better effect, ' because, ort Tuesday, the' day after'. -Christmas, the mayor had no cases of drunk and disorderly conduct to: try. . - Everybody seemed to be in good humor, peacabte and pleas ant, bent, upon pleasure and not riot We do not remember a- more quitet, , delightful Christmas, 4wlth absolutely no serious' calamities' or crimes to mar jthe joys or tne -occasion. ' ' A Woman's Excuse. New ,Ttork World. A new defense fil the divorce case is that of the wife who claims that she wrote love letters to "exercise her vo cabulary". She tried to see how many different forms of expression she could use and how long she. eould continue the correspondence without repeating herself. An extensive vocabulary Is desirable, but the accurate use of words is pre ferable. Better a fed tools and the knowledge to use them than an arsenal of rusty weapons. , Few people have : a vocabulary of over a thousand words, and love let ter gives as-good opportunity for the use of synonyms as any other form of correspondence! Still the lady would be In a better position if she had torn the letters up instead of letting the other man get them. : ,v Rich on Stork -Money.
