BANK RESOURCES TRIPLE IN A DECADE. , Resources of State banks and trust companies have tripled during the past ten years according to the quarterly report of the State banking depart ment of the Corporation Commission which has just been made public. The aggregate resources at the close of business on June 30. 1925. were $287.- 470,807.06 while in 1016 the total re sources were only $06,245,596. The resources as of June 30 of this year passed the peak established in 1920 when resources were $284,888,- 910.85. After 1020 the resources dropped to $242,374,573.88 in 1921 but have gradually increased each year since that time. , ' Resources iu national banks uere $102,410,000 making the totul of all North Carolina banks $470,895,807. Checking accounts with State banks on June 30 totalled $100,712,212.58. | or a per capita average of around S4O. Savings deposits were $00,007,218.77, or around $36 per capita. The paid in capital stock totalled $22,881,461.50: surplus fund. $12.- 048,080.04: and undivided profits, $4,523,775.07. Loans and discounts, other than demand loans, amounted to $207,322,493.04, and demand loans were $7,311,121.46. Bonds held by the banks were $8,154,570.94 in Uni ted States and Liberty bonds; $1,809,- 706.08 in North Carolina bonds; and $1,630,931.28 in other bonds, stocks and mortgages. Investment in the furniture and fixtures of banking houses totaled $3,311,586.04 while realty holdings were valued at $6,174,734.54. The growth in the resources of the State banks during the past ten years Is shown by the following figures: For 1916, $06,245,506; for 1017, $110,709,413.58: for 1918, $150,413.- (j 03.33; for 1919; $190,488,831.88; for 1920. $284,888,019.84; for 1921. $242,374,573.38; for 1922, $243,565,- 805,04; for 1023, $269,676,676.78; for 1924, $280,618,841.46; and for 1325, $287,476,807.06. The total resources for June 30 were $7,000,000 below the total re sources us of April 1 of this year but the drop is attributed to usual sum ber business dullness. There are 507 State batiks ami trust companies, including sixty-six brancli • es. THE “AVERAGE” INCOME. The “average"' iucouie of the people of America, the National Bureau of Economic Research estimates, in creased from $791 in 1909 to $1,537 In 1920. This sounds like a b'g iu credae of wealth for everybody in the country. Yet' the Bureau goes on to explain that.:considered in terms enhg price the income has mcreqsed only from 'sß23 to SBB7, £ But f alL indications are that we must be better off than that. How can We'explain the wide purchase of fliv vers, the acknowledged higher stand -fijttdi: of living everywhere, the gener m*- . »- l ■ - .. * . ST ‘ ally broader and more expensive life of tbo average family? Commerce and FHnanme' says it can be explain ed “only by the feet that the average family, instead of having but one wage earner, now has several. Not only father, but the boys and fre quently mother and the girls are in ‘gainful occupations’.” This surmise is uot borne out by the census figures, however. The number of gainfully employed persons, in proportion to population, has shown little or no increase in America in the last thirty years. In 1920. 50.3 per cent, of the population of ten years and qver were gainfully employ ed. In 1910 the percentage wbu 53 per cent.; in 1900, 50 per cent., and in 1890, 492? per cent. WAS TO HAVE BEEN EXPECTED Postal department officials have asked for the arrest of several Chica go men on charges of using the mails to defraud as the result of a lot sell ing campaign the men conducted. The real sold is located in Florida, but the mails were used as means of advertising the property such as does uot exist, according to the contention of the government. Fraud was to have been expected in connection with the real estate boom in Florida. Hundreds of per sons in all parts of the country have heard of great fortunes made there: they were willing therefore to invest their savings in the hope of getting rich on one deal, and as a result they have nothing but some lnnlfr Some of the land, advertised as a suburb of Orlando, situated on a modern highway with gas, water and electricity available, has been found to be inundated part of each year. Some other lots advertised as perfect ly located are said to be in swamps. While it is true that some persons have been fortunate enough to get good buys without going to Florida, it is the part of wisdom for the aver age man to look over the land before turning loose his money. strikers v in hiBH spirits Enthusiasm Marks the Formal Read ing of Suspension Order. . Philadelphia. August 30. En- , thuejias-jp marked the finai reading at union meetings over the week end of the order calling for suspen sion of furtfitacito mining operations tomorrow at midnight. The two orders, the second arrang ing for retention of about 8.000 maintenance men in the pits to pre vent flooding, cave-ins and general deterioration during the idleness, were issued in time to reach all the 525 locals in districts 1.7 ami 9 by yesterday. All collie ies were soon lasted I with notice* for the special meetings' called for iu union procedure. The attendance, according to reiiorts filt ering in tonight, was the heaviest some of the locals had ever known save at district election time. All the miners were, of course, in formed in advance through local newspapers of the eonteuts of the two orders. Nevertheless the actual reading in the droning voice of the union secretary became the signal for marked expressions of solidarity and outbursts, punctuated with excited shouts, pledging a finish fight until all wage and working demands were won. The demands, which the men made conditional to renewal of the working contract with the operators which expires tomorrow night, were formu lated at the tri-district convention at Scranton last June. A ten per I cent wage increase for 45.000 to 50,- 000 contract miners, $1 a day addi tional for day workers, the check off, by which the company paymas ters would take out union dues from the men’s pay. equalization rates (for which the miners have striven for yearv) and a two-year contract were the principal features in a long list.

SYNOPSIS Caroline Dal* was noalhing horn* in lie afternoon nohen eke sent i a Jog {rawing a tart in which rode little Bob toocler, race upon tie railroad t raeki after a eat. Tie cart-wheels became fastened in tie rails just as a freight engine bore down upon the improvised vehicle and its occupant. Caroline and Jim, Bob’s father, rushed toward the youngster. They would have been too late to save him but danger passed when tie engine swerved to a switch. In his gratifica tion Jim hugs the girl. CHAPTER Vll—Controlled “I had just stopped into the cigar store for a moment, thinking the youngster would be safe enough outside—but you can never tell. We were on the way down to meet you, Caroline—■” Caroline looked and Jim smilingly enlightened her. “ —you see, today is Bobby’s birthday and we’re going to have a party. Bob will' be home in time for it, and I want you to come,” he said with a personal inflection that Caroline did not notice in her glad interest to be able to do something for Bobby. She said enthusiastical ly: “Os course, I’ll come—and I’ll bake a cake if you want me to, Jim!” Jim and Bobby were equally de lighted with this offer. “Lordy, that will be wonderful,” enthused Jim. ‘‘Bob went out very early this morning on a special call Caroline’s face brightened percep tibly at this intelligence, but unno ticed by Jim, who went on, # “ —but I had penned a note for him before I turned in, telling him lo get home as early as he could and to bring highest girl.” “Jim said you were going to bring your best girl.” Caroline was about to say, “I sup pose Bob will ask me as soon as he gets home,” but a sudden and warn ing instinct that tightened around her heart like a glacial hand caus ed the words to be stillborn, and a moment later she heard, “Say, what do you know about that sly old rogue!” Jim was saying, in a voice that sounded small arid far off to Caroline's ears. “Held out on us. And he must have known this girl for a long time, too—for they’re on very familiar terms. I saw him holding her in his arms and kissing her, out on the Eagle Pass siding when I passed him the other night—” Jim stopped short in his grinning description to Caroline of what he thought a lover?' tryst, and quick concern filled his voice as he look ed into Caroline’s face. “Why, what’s the matter—you’ve grown pale? Arc you ill?” Jim took hold of Caroline's arm, to steady her. She had closed her eyes, and was swaying a little, while the torn cards of her romance rain ed down about her ears. “Just the reaction—of Bobby's, danger—l guess. It’s nothing,” she •aid in a very low, very tired voice. CHAPTER VIII All that day Bob Wilson wrestled with spectres while his eyes and hands mechanically guided his great engine through the irregular pattern of a workday freight run. He had been glad that when the emergency call, routing him out of bed at four o’clock, made it impos sible for him to meet Caroline in the accustomed way for in his as yet undeterminate and unsolidified men tal state he would have been at a loss for words although h* desired Farmer Drops DM While Feeding Stock- t; Charlotte, Aug- 29.—Henry Arm strong, prominent Mecklenburg far n^anjcfr^suddenly ble, from which"' he-’lnpl liuffered for some time , was the cause" of death.

He THfi CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE with all his soul to relieve her of i the uncertainty and suffering that 1 hir. confused, silent mood of the af ’ ternoon before had undoubtedly ! caused her. As long as he could 1 remember Bob had found it diffidult 1 to give or share confidences with ’ anyone because he was an emotion • al lone wolf. Today he cursed this ' complex—the inhibitions, the stub ■ bom pride, that had made it impos sible for him to regrain his confes sional mood in the bleak and dis -1 couraging moments after Spike’s malevolent words before Caroline had paradoxally revealed too much, yet not enough; raised implications too sordid and black, yet not as mean as the truth 1 ! He writhed under the knowledge that it had not been fair to leave het in a disquieted mind. He had known her kiss of love, had felt the maid enly flame of her soul revealed I through the passionate touch of her lips in the abandon every good wo man gives to only one man. It was up to Bob to pay a price for that innocent revelation. Why had he not overruled Caro line’s generous objections and rid his breast of its burden? Was it because his pride clung weakly to a shred of hope that perhaps the dead past would keep yts decayed corpses buried, and that he might be spared forever the blood and marrow hurting ordeal of confes sion? Even so, Bob knew in his heart of hearts that his honest and clean love for Caroline—the purest and finest impulse that had ever in fluenced his life—could brook no , secret veil between them. And now ! the dust and bones of the past had resurrected themselves, he was real ly left no choice. *, The note from Jim which he had found pinned to his jumpers that morning would afford Bob an ex- Icuse to go penitently to Caroline and claim her company for the eve ning. Caroline’s whole attitude had I proclaimed her willingness to let the i past be plotted out; perhaps it was not fair to use this lovely and vir ginal creature as a blotter, still—this was the ancient and honorable and eternal sacrifice of pure women, i I Caroline was his “best girl.” Noth j ir,g else mattered—this was the mir aculous truth, and tonight he would let Jim, too, know it; dear, loyal, faithful Jim who would be so ■riad, Bob thought, for his sake. The*. Bob grimly determined that during the evening he would take the first opportunity to re-open with Caro line the matter of the pass. He would spare himself not at all. He would explain candidly the whole sordid mess he had made of things, claim her trust and love to pull him through, vow his own love for her. After that, he hoped, could pledge their troth in a brave and fearless facing of facts and sur mounting of obstacles together. Though it was past Caroline’* hour for quitting when Bob arrived back in Crater City that afternoon 1 he looked into the Depot lunchroom on an eager chance; but the place was a cold Sahara under the con trol of Miss Trisk and Minnie. He stopped at a Main Street store t« pick up some toys he had ordered for Bobby’s birthday, added a bo* of candy for Caroline to his pur chase, and with full arms and heart hurried to Mrs. O'Leary's. “Sure she ain’t here,” the Widow informed him, “but down to your own house with Jim, baaing a cake for Bobby’s birthday party. Jim told me that she was going to be hi» partner tonight at the party, and that you were going to bring you* best girl.” “Why—” Bob stammered, the* paused in bewilderment and into Mrs. O’Leary’s brightly curi ous eyes. “I—l was going to asi Caroline myself—” “Jim took Caroline and said yo* were going to bring your ‘best girl’,” the Widow repeated wit* quizzical insistence. “He told mt as how you'd been keeping the se cret of having a girl from him, but he saw you a-huggin’ and kissin’ her on the Eagle Pass siding t’other night—" job’s buoyant resolutions sudden ly sank back into a sea of despond ency; what in God’s name new com plication was this, when would they cease piling up? Now, if after Spike’s nasty rattling of the skele ton, Caroline had gotten from Jinj an innocently errqpeous but never theless damning description of that unfortunate encounter at the sid ing—? ■ (To be continued) ■ ,B=SS^^l * =C==: 1 is survived by the widow, there children.

Aurunu, Ga.. and Detroit, was <|e-1 scribed as "the greatest ball player of all time,” by Ban Johnson, presi dent of the American League, Connie Mack, manager of the Philadelplia Athletics and other speakers at a 1 great testimonial dinner to Cobb which lasted into the early hours of today. The evtot was described as one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of its kind.' It tin belie.yed to be the first time that a major league ball player has been honored by an official testi monial, sponsored by the municipality I itself. 1 It was a magnificent culmination of twenty vigorous, record-breaking years in the American League for the: "Georgia Peach.” The eulogies of his i exploits poured forth with' - eloquence | and continuity until tiifcc" came | for Cobb himself to speak. He was | so greatly moved by what had been | said that he could only depreciate his own exploits and' express regret that he had not accomplished more. Hundreds of telegrams felicitating Cobb on the completion of twenty years American League service were read. Some were from Tris Speaker, George Sisler,- Miller Huggins, Ring , Lardner, Hendrik W.
