Letter to (be Daily New?, That TT??re I? ? Vm( D4f foresee in Deed Mr. Small Pint Gavn Sim ud One He Finally Mr. Editor: I wish to nr that the article In yesterday's News headed Hathaway Small Suit Is Settled," was not (air to me, sls 4 brought cult under an option written and delivered by John H. Small. In every manner I complied with this option and Mr. Small tendered me a deed, dated December 30, 1918. Upon my complaint Mr. Small told me, "It Is the only dred I will Sire." As It was not a good deed, reeerving to Mr. Small many val uable points, I brought suit, Now ilV Mr. Small wants public vindication, he should publish The option and hi? deed of December 80, 1913, and the deod my suit a gainst him brought to me. and thus let the public decide whether or not they are "substantially the same" as the article impliee. Nothing pre vents him from putting forward his claims according to hI? testimony before the Jury and otherwise. Mr. Small is able to -pay for the publi cation of all this matter and If he has won such a complete victory he should accept my request and pub lish tho matter. Mr. Small dare? not. Mr. Small is a lawyer of St years esparlance. He has be** Qjygwmmim on? etates aan for 18 yeats. He-knows wheth er or no! the inference in the arti cle of yesterday Is Just to me and I ask him to state facts or publish1 the papers. It Is apparent that this publication of yesterday was made at the in srtance of Mr. Small for the purpose of making the impression that he practically won his case or that his position in his case had not been overthrown and defeated. He is In public life and is naturally Jealous and eensative about this. If any body wants to find out the truth about it let them read my deed from Mr. Small which by now should be registered and the one he tried to make me take. The latter is not registered but Mr. Small and I both have a copy of it. The reader will then know whose position has been sustained and who was right in the beginning. A. C. HATHAWAY.

Daily News to Report World Series T North Carolina Ilank* Anionu Tli ose j That t'luu-ge Twelve 1'crcent ami More. (By H. E. C. Bryant) (Washington Staff Correepondent to the News and Observer) Washington, Oct. 7.?North Car olina was one of the States named today by John Skeltoa Williams, Comptroller of the Currency, as hav ing bank? charging IS per cent or I ?more Interest on loans. Three bank* ?f that Slate charge this amount and 1,203 In the United States charge this amount, according to the statement of Comptroller Wil liams. He was speaking before the an nual convention of the Kcmtucky j Bankers' Association, at Frankfort, Ky., today, and assailed such instl-J tutlons as violating the trust given to them by the government. He quoted from the report of a national bank In a certain " State some instances of interest charges. One was a loan of <109 to a woman for 30 days for "<10 interest or 120 per cent. Another was $380 for 90 days for $30 Interest or 3 per cent Others were $133 for 40 for $10 interest or 75 per cent; $140 for 80 days for $20 interest, or 70 per cent; $30 for one month for an in terest of 350 per cent. Another national bank went the limit when It reported a loan ;>( $3.50 to a woman for six days for $1, which figures out about 2,400 per cent per annum. "As somebody said of druggists' profits on powder ed chalk," the Comptroller declared "It get? out^of tho range of percen tage Into larceny from the person." He said the Federal Reserve Sys tem had hr-lped much to minimise such evlla and that the greater num ber of banks conduct their business on a high and honorable plane. He declared that the government Is not antagonistic to them, but Is only trying to correct evlla. NKW SK.lt IAI j llK<;i.NS.

It often doubles the | yield of a following corn crop. Soils that lie bare In winter, wash away and have their soluble plant fool taken out by the leaching rain?. "To grow crimson clovcr. you w>ll need lime, inoculation, and a good seed bed. Lime is cheap and Inoc ulation Is free.
