Bill
; Jut Esactfar Farcers.
The Act provides for the crea
tion of twelve Federal Land
Banks and permits the establish
ment of any number of joint
stock lapd banks for the purpose
of making loans at a reasonable
rate of interest, for long periods
of time, on farm lands.
A Federal Farm Loan Board
has complete control over these
banks.
Twelve Federal Land Banks
are provided, one in each of
twelve districts into which the
country will be divided. These
banks are empowered to lend on
first mortgages on farm lands in
amount of $100 lo $10,000 for ap
proved purposes. The loans are
tube made through farm loan
associations and agents. No
loan may be made for more than
50 per cent of the value of the
land mortgaged and 20 per cent
of the value of the permanent
insured improvements upon it.
National Farm Loan Associa
tions,! local organizations . com
posed exclusively of borrowers,
are authorized. These associa
tions must be stockholders in
the land banks in proportion to
the amount their members wish
to borrow. v Eventually all stock
in the Federal Land Banks will
i
be owned exclusively by these
associations.
A reasonable interest rate is
established . The act prohibits
the Federal Land Banks from
charging more than six per cent
on any mortgage, or requirng
fees not approved by the Farm
Loan Board.
The borrowers will share in
the net profits of the bank be
cause they are stockholders. It
is contemplated that ultimately
the borrowers .will be the only
stockholders.
Long termloans are provided
by authorizing mortgages for
periods of from five up lo 40
years.
Small annual or semi-annual
payments ou the principal are
made a required feature of all
mortgages.
Joint-stock land banks are
authorized. They are corpora
tions for carrying ot the busi
. ness of lending on farm mort
gage security and issuing farm
loan bonds. They are to be un
der the supervision of the Farm
Loan Board, but the Govern
ment, will not invest in them.
Subject to geogrophical limita
tions and subject to the 50 per
cent and 20 per cent limitation,
these banks can lend to an indi
vidual any amount they wish,
and for any purpose They can
not charge an interest rate ex
ceeding six per cent and such
rate must not exceed by more
than one per " cent the interest
they have pati on their last is
sue of bonds. Their mortgages,
however, must provide for
amortization payments These
banks are prohibited from charg
ing, under any pretext, fees or
commissions other than those
authorized by the act

went down with the Belmont
bridge Sunday afternoon, July
16, or of the five colored laborers
who met their death in the ragsJ
ing waters of the Catawba at the
same time leads those who have
charge of the rescue work to
have grave j doubts whether
their bodies will ever be recover
ed. The water was so high and
so swift and . cut so many new
channels and deposited so. much
mud and silt and other debris
that the men washed down the
stream were probably burried
under a great weight, of earth.
The continued rainfall and rising
waters of the stream have added
other difficulties and while the
patrol .work has been conducted
with exceptional vigilance and
persistance, there has. not been
a trace discovered for the past
two days and nights. The body
of C S Bar bee, section foreman,
which was found Friday, was
entirely covered with the excep
tion of a part of one hand that
was projecting. But for the
alert watch maintained," he might
never have been found. While
grave fears are entertained by
those in charge as to the recov
ery of the six bodies' in the river,
the search will be . continued
until all doubts nave been re
moved. The five colored labor
ers missiner are Andrew Scott
and Will Ferguson of ' Charlotte,
Tom Davis and Daniel Heath of
Juneau and Tom Ashwodd of

It was announced in this city

AFTERDATE 6F FLOODS.
Floods and Heavy Rains Endasiar Walls and
tynilgS 800 Bay 5flt21 Wtm.
j "The after effects of floods and
. heavy rains are freauentlv Tnore
disastrous to lives and - health
j than the direct effects," says the
State Board of Health in a recent
, bulletin just issued for the benefit
j of flood sufferers. According to
: this bulletin one of the greatest
dangers from floods is the serious
pollution of wells and springs
which have either been flooded or
had surface washings deposited
in them. Such material is very
likely to cause typhoid dysentery
or diarrhoeal diseases. The im
mediate steps to be taken are,
6rst of all, to boil all drinking
water, begin immediately the
anti-typhoid treatment and have
the well tor spring thoroughly
cleaned out.
Anti-typhoid vaccine will be
furnished free of charge to every
physician in the State, but to
secure the maximum results the
counties affected or at least tht
various cities-, towns, hamlets and
communities affected should es
tablish free anti-typhoid dispen
saries and inaugurate a vigorous
anti-typhoid campaign.
Flooded wells and springs
should be emptied at least twice
and the sides rinsed with a solu-1
tion of about two or three pounds
of chloride of lime, procurable at
any drug . store, (or ordinary
bleaching powder from a laundry)
and diluted with five to ten gal
Ions of water and again pumped
out the following day until the
odor of the disinfectant is remov-i
ed.
In a great many places isolated
ponds of water are more than
likely to breed mosquitoes by the
myriads. Srich places should if
possible be drained at the earliest
possible date. - . .
. Wet filth and debris will in
many places furnish, breeding
places for flies. By all means
screens should be placed at every
door and window at once. This
will also serve as a further safe
guard against mosquitoes. Re
member that under such circum
stances flies are especially numer
ous and especially dangerous.
Keep them away from babies.
Finally, be especially careful
about eating or drinking any
thing that has in any way come
into contact with or been affected
by the waters of the flood unless
it has been thoroughly washed or
cooked.
