Washington, Jane 20. Comptroller
of the Cnrreney William estimate
that about 9500,000,000 in national
banks throughout th United States
is available for farm mortgage loans
under the provision of the Federal
Reeervs set making it possible for
national banking associations to lenl
money on improved farm lands.
Scores of inquiries concerning this
provision "reach tbe Treasury De
partment daily, and there does not
seem to be a general understanding
that the farm loan clause of the act
if now in force, and makes it possible
for national banks to make farm
loans before the normal organization
of the Federal Reserve Board.

No word baa been received from
Marshal Webb concerning the ap

A mistaken diagnosis of a case of
sickness in the Brown Summit sec

small size epidemic of small pox.
One member of a large family was
taken sick, but the case was not sup
posed to be small pox, therefore, no
precautions were taken. In a few
days it was seen it was smallpox
and Dr. Jones, the county physician,
who up to this time knew nothing
about the matter, was summoned. He
saw at once what it was, but it was
too late to resort to vaccination and
in two days or a little more the whole

Do a Hen Sit or Set?
Atlanta, Ga., June 20. A near-
fight, a bet of a $5 hat, and an in
terminable discussion grew up this
morning at Five Points over the old
question of whether a hen "sets" orl
"sits."
One of the Atlanta papers printed
a story about a hen which the paper
called a "sitting hen." "Funny
that the paper should have made
such a stupid mistake," said a man
at the cigar stand.
"I'm not so sure it was a mis
take," said another.
And then the argument, with the
bet of the $5 hat began.
A dictionary was produced to set
tle it.
The first man turned triumphant
ly to-'Set."H e read, "Set-to sit,
as a hen on eggs."
That would have settled things

A Lawyer on the Torrens System.
I have noted with considerable in
terest your several articles on the
Torrrens System of land titles regis
tration. I am glad that you have
been able to get the law on the State
books of North Carolina. I trust
that Georgia will soon have such s
law.
The land banks that are now pro
posed by the Federal Government
will be f little use to those States
where land titles are in such chaotic
condition as they are in all the states
here this system is not in vogue.
With this law on the book, making
a certainty of titles, the land owner
ought to be able to get money at 6
t( 0 per cent interest instead of at
the figures at which it is now got
ten something twice that high.
With you advocating it in other
States and with Tom Watson advo
cating it in Georgia all of the south
ern section of the United States
Should soon have such a law.
I congratulate you on the excel
lence of your paper. You might be
interested to know that I eubscribo
and pay for a copy of your paper to
be sent to each of my white tenants.
I consider it money well invested.- .
