New York etoc exchange flfm of .A.' 0. Brown A Ctf, is said to have been heavy advances made the big PltUburg firm of Whit ney. Stephenson St Co. and Mr. George L Whitney ' personally. The ad vances made Mr. Whitney both pre ceded and followed the Whitney com pany's fiv million, dollar ' failure. These statements come from. Mr. Whitney himself in a published let ter. His heartfelt gratitude he ex presses as follows: "Perhans no one person had as much to do with the troubles, recently made public of th firm of A. O. Brown & Co. as the writer.. When my business difficulties became urgent last winter I went to them In my distress, and instead of finding marble hearts they one and all gave me not only their sympathy but like wise their support, both moral and sub stantial. ., "On the very eve of our failure they made large advancea to me on collaterals which then could have been of no pos sible use to them, which advance aerved to discharge liabilities which, it not so discharged, would have placed us in peril of the law. Later on they still unswerv ingly maintained their cordial and aym- narliilr attitude. 'E. F. Buchanan, especially, treated me like a brother, and when I had no place to turn not only did he give me the means to live, but to an extent I scarcely dare mention save me moneys to distribute to persons I owed, where the loss would have occasioned acute distress. In other directions wherein we were mutually lia ble he not only shouldered ills own Dur den but In countless Instances assumed and paid my share when I verily believe that neither morally nor legally could he have been compelled to do so. "These many obligations, now amount ing to hundreds of thousands of dollars, he treated an loans, to be repaid, if ever, only at the convenience of the debtor. . . . "Nor am I the only beneficiary of his bountv. His charity is broader than Ms big shoulders and as enduring as the kindly light from his steadfast eyes." If the fn-nsled performance by A. O. Brown & Co. terminating In the firm's collpase was undertaken as the only chance to avoid a failure risked through such loyalty and honor,, the condemnation given It should be tem pered with great charity.

The Star of I n. cilornl. I Of this city ST.ARVIXti THE TYPHOID BCOS. An expert of the London water board has satisfied himself by experi ment that stored London city water will purify itself of typhoid 'fever germs In five w.'eks. The deadly lit tle micro-beasts simply perish for lack of nourishment and leave no chance to multiply. In the samples of water Inoculated by this experi menter all but a few of the germs were dead within three weeks. The conclusion reached Is that storage ranks quite -qual in importance with nitration as a method of safeguarding city water supplies, l.'nstored or "ruw" water cannot be safely put through the filter beds at anywhere near the rate suincient for the stored. The storage system of purification, though long re.ognlzed as valuable, has not her. tofore been given Its full dues as an efficient afjent In the elimination of bacteria. These conclusions have, an obvious Interest. They should not be over looked by those rnont directly respon sible for the water of any pipe-sup-plled community. tants? Then a whole lot of our North Car olina mate Danics cannot become na tlonal, since we have one hundred and thirteen State banks located in towns of less than 1.000, and one hundred and ninety-eight have less than 125.000 calptal. The last trou bio might be remedied by Increas Ing capital stock, but what about he first? Now, the framers of the plank may nave nafl a plan to cover all these objections, and It may be that I am ignorant, but all the same, I want to know. These small banks in our amaller towns have contributed more than aJI other agencies combined to build irp the sections around them.

Please tell us how the proposed guarantee of bank deposits will ef fect these small banks. Yours truly. A BORROWER Two plans for the State banks have been proposed. One that pre ferred by Mr. Bryan and the Demo cratic national platform would make their participation in the Federal ar rangement optional; the other looks to wholly separate systems. em-A State's banks constituting one. No coercion of the States In the mat ter by the national government has ever been proposed. As for the small er State banks, they would as al ready In Oklahoma share t-xactly like the largr State banks, retaining, with deposit Insurance added, the privilege of lending money on land and otner privileges denied national banks but Important or even essential to them Any apprehension for this class on our correspondent's part Is more than groundless. Aside from a growing fear that the bank guaranty or co-insurance issue will eject Mr. Bryan, the Interests actively lighting It have as their strongest motive the avowed objection that It would un fairly benefit small banks at large banks' expense by making all banks equally strong.

If a cat sticks his nose through that hedge Winky Boy will see it, and no cat In the neghborhood can stand before nlm. The first thing he did on arriving here was to declare him self from the back steps snd tne felines of Morganton trembled with fear at his note of warning. I havo never heard such a weird voice as Winky gave utterance to that night We all took fright at It." Where did this marvelous cat come from?" I Inquired. "England," said a eherus of women tongues. "England ?" "Yes. the old country." T looked Winky Boy over again. taking more notice of the details: knowing that anything that comes from "over the river" or "beyond the sea" is considered of iust a lit tle better clay than the home pro duct. I became Interested. "fco "Winky Boy has royal blood In his veins?" said I. 'Yes. he is a pedigreed cat," de clared the ladies, all talking at once. 'Winky Bov Is a personage ln this community." How come Winky Boy In .Morgan- ton? How come? He was brought to this country fourteen years ago by an Engllsn woman. "Fourteen years ago"' "Yes. that is what they say." A FEI-JXE OF FINE PARTS. I became enthused over Winky Boy. for he is as fine looking a cat as one would find In a day's Journey. His back Is grayish brown and his breast and belly -white. He looks like a well-dressed gentleman In dark suit and white shirt. His legs are long and stout and his feet large and firm. At his ripe age ne is gentle In dealing with over-attentive chil dren: If he tires of their embraces and caresses he does not bite or scratch them, but runs away and ihldes. He is bbstrie toward all American cats. He keeps a sharp claw and a pointed tooth for his kind.

Anther. being a cat without a family tree, or special accomplishments, and having ordinary feline desires, stole out second-story window, let himself to the grounds and disappeared. Winky Boy. a lifelong pet and too old to learn new tricks, stuck to the hos pital, nosing here and there, causing trouble in certain quarters where old maids became Jealous over him. Miss Huckleberry, the snow-white hen. would have nothing to do with com mon chickens and. becoming lone some and homesick, pined and died. This left the patients and Winky Boy, whose full name is Padarewski, to demand the attention of the hospital authorities. Buffering from ennui Padarewski began to make trouble in the ward and wd removed to the main hall of the building and given the run of the place. But, the old cat. not willing to stay away from his mistresses, climbed out a nan win dow, scaled the wall and planted himself near the room of his friends and made the night hideous with 'his calls. He cried so boisterously that the doctors had to tole him In and quiet his nerves. This sort of per formance continued night after night vntll Winky Boy was given to Mrs. Murphy to keen. The large, grass- covered lawn, the boiled Irish pota toes and the affectionate people at lonepine charmed Winky. and there he stays, fat and contented. WINKY BOY A HERO OXCE. Many wonderful tales are told on Winky Boy. His owner, who Is a highly cultured woman, with rare gifts and education, lived ln New York for many years and was a mem ber of the choir of Trinity church. One night while she and her husband, who is now dead, lived ln the me tropolis the gas was left turned on. Winky Boy. who became uncomfort able, jumped upon the bed and pujled at his mistress until she awaked and smelt the escaping gas and aroused her husband. That Is all that saved the lives of the three. For this heroic act Winky Boy will be cared for until he dies. His picture, it Is said, is In one or more famous art galleries ln New York. Winky Boy belongs to "trie Bengal cat' family. He is a beautiful fel low. His fondness tor Irish potatoes speaks against his breeding, but it Is believed by his friends that he takes to the famous North Carolina food because of faulty teeth. He cannot digest meats. Winky Boy's owner is one of the most interesting patients in the Western State Hospital. She claims to have been born in a balloon on Its way from England to America. She bought a turkey for Thanks giving, petted it and refused to kill It when tha day came. The fowl died after a long whilo and President Roosevelt was telegraphed for a mili tary escort for the funeral procession. This is a true story.
