There' seems to be necessity for Increased capital In the banks al ready operating, rather than the or. ganlxation of new Institutions. . This statement Is porn out In the figures exhibited In the olTlclsl statements made by our' banks April 0, lfOI, At that time-the banks .of North -Carolina, - were borrowing, through notes and rediscounts, S2.SSS. 246. tl. Qf this sum fl.S24,S7:,S7 was borrowed by the Suta. banka savings banks. loan and trust compsnies, and II,. 11S,I7$,74 by the national banka Sixty-nine of .the Bute banks were borrowers, the percentage of amount being IS per cent, to theiretaoletee borrowed being ti per cent, to their capital stork. Statistics are not avail, able showing the number of national banks borrowing at that time, hut the oercentaa-o-' borrowed tn eanlfal of all was 10 per canf. Putting them together the percentage borrowed to total capital stock of all banks was If per cent The extant to which some of the smaller banks, borrow Seems Incompatible with sound, dis cretion. Four of these, at the last statement, with aggregate capital of 119,000, were borrowing f 11,000 two were borrowing a sum . equal ' to double their capital, while seventeen others, r with ' aggregate . capital , of. only ft? 5,(00 were borrowers to the extent of $414, 0tS.lt. or fllt.ftt.lf In excess of their paid-in capital. When consideration Is given the fact that In tlmea .of financial stress the banks may be required to retire this paper. It would seem to be the duty of our bank directors to establish a more coneertlve limit. Another' ar gument for greater capital lies In the fact that some of our smaller In stltutlons, In their eagerness to car. ry large accoupts, are lending one concern, corporation or Individual equal to. and in some cases amounts In excess of. the capital stock of the bank. In other words, a total loss of such a loan would deprive the bank of Its entire capital.

' He was Seen by sn Observer rspreeentatlye and asked what he thought was the cause for the removal of Collector 11 8. Harktns from the office of collec tor for the western district, and the appointment of George H. Brown, of Statesvllle. "It means simply a recognition f Mr. Blackburn aa the only Republl can congressman from the State." ho said. "1 might also aay that objrc tionable practices on the part of the 'organisation' crowd, such as accept ing fees for the use of their 'Influ ence figure In the matter. Tho powers thst be have come to realise that the Butler faotlon are Interested solely In the spoils of office, In lobby ing and scheming. It means thst Blackburn will In future have full recognition and support ' "I see no reason for believing that the collector's office will be moved from Ashevllle. Certainly I shall do whatever I can do to preevnt Its re moval." ' ' - "What do you think about the change In the collectorshlp T" Mr. Harris was asked. "My feelings toward Mr.' Harklns are ,and have always been, of the kindest," he replied. "Against him personally I have nothing, whatever to say. My opposition to third-term appointments Is well-known, and Is In line with the expressed will of the rank and file of the party." In es sence, thst expression covers Mr. Harklns' esse. 1 think he has hsd the office long enough." ' "What about your candidacy for State chairman T" . "I wish a change made.'

If the party Is to make progress. - 1 hsve lived In western North Carolina I IT years, and have done what 1 could ror this section, i pave seen a ou slstent Republican, striving for the psrty's success.

BHTAN'S PLANS. Lincoln Friend Declares He Will Make a Dignified, Yet Determined and Ilesolute Campaign Won't Make Train Canvass Will Humor Hearst and Ignore Tarty and Will Not Attack tho Great Corporations. Lincoln, Neb Dispatch, ltth. Here are the plana of William Jen nings Bryan, as outlined by a close friend and stalwart sapporter. "Mr. Bryan." the friend said, "is a genius endowed with the passion for hard work. He has outlined plans for a presidential campaign, the moat determined, resolute and. at the samo time, the most dignified tn the history of the nation. He has no doubt of his nomination. "At his home at Falrvlew, Mr. Bry an will receive delegations from all parta of the country. Speeches will bo made, but they will be quiet, dig nified addresses. "In tha Ufa of Mr. Bryan nothing haa come by chance. When he planned to charm a convention with hla oratory he worked on his effort for a year in advance. When he planned to capture the following Democratic nomination by acclama tion ha went about It In the same manner. After his Bt. Louis conven tion episode he participated In the campaign enough to show his good will. Then he outlined a globe trot ting tour which attracted the atten tion of tha world. "Soon- after Mr. Bryan'a return Falrvlew will be remodelled and a large porch will be added. Land. scape. gardens will transform the roll ing lawn Into a garden, where ten thousand persons may hear a politi cal speech. " "Mr. Brvsn will not rush around the country In special trains. He will make but two trips. He will deliver one masterpiece, an oration which will be carefully prepared and will contain some matchless Bryannlo paragraphs. As for the remainder of the speeches, they will be full of dignity. Just before the campaign closes Mr. Bryan will make another supreme appeal. "Mr. Bryan will not Join In the hue and cry against corporations. His speeches will bs opposed to extreme snd radical Ideas like those of Mr. LaFollett, and he will be moderate In his expressions, as tompared with Mr. Roosevelt. Instead of scaring capital he will reassure. Trusts, he will urge., should be curbed; but curbed with no Injustice to capitalist or Investor. "Mr. Bryan will not Interfere with the sentiments of his party. He will act In an .indifferent manner towurd Indorsements and urge the claims of any one who should aspire to the nomination. At the asms time the Indorsements wilt come with such frequency that It will be extremely discouraging for the opposing can didates. "Mr. Hearst will be humored and Mr. Parker Ignored. During the months sfter his return to Lincoln Mr. Bryan will make public his Idoa on the political systems of foreign countrlea All the while he will be directing the views of the national Democratic organisation In a safe and sane channel. "In this his own Stale It will take all Bryan's diplomacy to prevent a factional breach. These hostile fac tions must be placated after Mr. Bry an returns, and he will do his best to organise the Btate' for a Democratic victory In ltOt. Mayor Dahlman Is s loyal partisan of Bryan, and his election In Omaha means much to the Falfvlew- statesman. Another piece of good luck was the election of May. or Brown, a staunch Democrat in Lincoln." 1IIGHK8' SIIOItTAGn $50,000.
