80TH DIVISION'S HKI NloS-/
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6.—After a
day feautred by the election of of
ficers and adoption of resolutions, the
Thirtieth Divsion reunion dosed Inst
night with social events, the chief of
which wus a military Kull at tlie Belle
Meaae golf and country club.
The Old Hickory Veterans agreed
to leave the niatter of a -meeting
place next year up to. the new execu
tive committee, thus making it pos
sible that the city hosecn will not l»e
announced for ,several weeks.
Besides the resolutions concerning
Senator Watson's. charges that Amer
ican soldiers were hanged in France
without trial or court-martial, one ex
pressing "the. earnest hope" that the
ocnference on limitation of armaments
would "tend towartT* a permanent
peace," was adopted by these veterans
who took a prominent part in break
ing the HindenbuiK line.
The annual reunion of the Old Hic
kory Veterans is an important, bit of
history for it is conceded to be the
division that did most toward break
ing the Hindenburg line by tin' whole
United States and for that reason will
always play an important part in hi.
tor.v. It is regretted that none of the
Martin County boys rouW atfcmo foi
some of our very own played great
parts during those few immortal day*
some of them ad for life
that we run into contact with daily.
Others are sleeping beneath their na
tive heath after leaving the ponpy
covered fields of France where they
slept for many months.

RIVER CLOGGED Willi I/EKHIS
AS RESULT OF HIGH WATER
Last week the bridge construction
was held up for two days on account
of derhis coming down with the high
waters from above VV'illiamstoi uiid
■getting jammed against some piles
and logs that were being, used used
about the bridge. There was a plan
about a liundred yards square covered
with brush, sticks and even good sized
logs along with the other derhis that
high waters gather along the wa;.
The only available way to remove
the obstruction after all manner of
prodding' had been tried, was to use
great amounts of dynamite .aid blow
it out,. j"ii/»is was administered Ifi
Messrs. Halla'd and Youirt and most
everybody in town witnessed _iin ex
plosions. At first they only rsed i».V
sticks of dynamite, at a shot, b\it the
progress made was*so slow that th«>\
finally used 150 sticks at one tir.i". (t
'was very, fortunate that none of the
spectators weie hurt for from ui e ex
plosion a log, about *2 inches in diam

about two hundred feet or so from
the river and went through the top
of the blacksmith yfjop and st'icl: up
in the ground. One of the • black

BETTER PROSPECTS
FOR LOAN BANKS
The following is a letter from Keua
ro:;entativo 11. S. Want to Vol. J(
Bryan Crime:,. It will be of great
to rest tu those fanners contemplat
ing getting a loan from—Uwr-t'inks.
My Dear Colonel:
Vour letter of a few days ago on
this subject, was forwarded to Mi.
Leaver, anl he did me the honor as n
itvsponse to it, to call at my office and
I have just had with him a very uleas
ant and instructive chat. 1 must cur
dense the information a sfollows:
Because of the strong preso've on
all the 12 banks, their Presidents were
called together in Erec
tions given that they Their
applications to the quota of fund
then available, by directing the loco l
branches to hold back application."
The resources of the banks were then
less than $40,000,000. Thi sordev was
obeyed by all of them except our bank
at Columbia, which failed to obeervc
the rule ami permitted' applications to
go in far in excess of the available
funds. Since then an issuance of 00
million dollars has been floated ,ani
the Columbia bnnk is "doing business,
at the old stand" with "II possible
activity. There will be approximate
ly f> milion dollars for lending in the
Columbia district, of which North
Carolina may expect, one million, two
hundred, and fifty thousand anil this
will be dished out, I ha\e reason to
Tljese activities are intricate, trouble
some anii slow. Not only must thi
title be examined carefully, but «
classification must be made with groat
caw to ascertain whether the appli
cant is eligible. For instance, from
40 to 60 per cent of . tln'iu represent
men who ire not primarily nor prin
cipally farmers, Lawyers, doctors anil
meracnhts who run farm* as side is
sues for, health, fun, speculation and
other-secondary purposes, are not eli
gible to approach to this bunk. A
merchant has a little faua, and R> it
behind in his mercantile business an"
wants a loan on his farm to pay ot
[his mercantile debts; he is not eli
gible. A lawyer or doctor living b\
his practice, buys a'farm for specula
tion, puts a tenant on it to keep dowi
the weeds unti Ihe can sell for a prof
it, wants a loan on the farm to hold
it off the market until his profit gets
fat enouKh to satisfy him-; lie is not
eligible. These loans are not withii
the scope of the benefits intended t'
be given by this bank.
After tfiis~conversation, I am sat
isfied that every eligible application
in my district will be reached durini
the coin in gwinter, and that when
[ I oral branches have been held up, tln-j
will lie in a few months diiected
move on.
There was loaned in North Caro
lina in May, $38,000; in June SHK,OOO;
in July $240,000; in August, $3K7,-
000; in September $4(11,000; HI Or
tol>er, $240,000.
The suggestion that thi bank itu.
ceased activities is erroneous. It will
soon reach Pitt county, exact'y when
I cannot tell, but to the farmers win.
live by farming primarily and want
to enlarge or improve their fans* and
appliances, it is for the future in a
larger measure than in the past. "The
hope of Zion and the consolation of
Israel."
Sincerely yours,
H. S. WARD.
