Thd unexpected run on the bank occuried between five and six o’clock Saturday afternoon. It was confined entirely so far -as can be learned, to ofififeTrS and men from Fort Bragg. Appatefttly it started from irrespon- rtble rumors which cannot ba traced to tlw>ir origin. One of toe^ re^rts was tort officers of the military post had received orders from Washington to vritlriraw official deposit from the Lal^ayerte bank.

The Lafayette bank has coimec- tions in New York which would Imve enabled it to obtain funds sufficient to tide it over toe emerg^y had there been time to arrange this as sistance^ it was said today. Persons close to toe bank’s afiPairs say that the officers and directors did xiU that could be done in a. critical and en tirely unexpected situation. This is especially 'true, they say of P^ident Tolar, who stood manfully by the bank which he and his father, the elder John R. Tolar, established H years ago and which had shown a flattering success. The bank’s statement for the first of the year, which -was to have been published today, exhibited no signs oi an ailing condition. T'he capital stock of $60,000 was supplemented by surplus and undivided profits of $18,245, with total resources of $603,870. The d.eposits aggregated a little more than half a million dollars in cluding $26,000 of secured deposits. Loans and discounts were $429,924 and cash and due from banks, $62,- 000. It is underrtood that aU official funds from Fort Bragp on deposit are secured by depository bonds. State deposits, $5,704.33, are also se cured. It was said tonight that directors of the bank are making efforts to ward a reopening of thi^'lnstitu^tion, and it is believed that a satisfactory arrangement to this end can be made. It was announced today that the Caledonian Savings and Trust Com pany will start business tomorrow morning as a copimercial bank. The Caledonian was founded two years ago as a savings bank.

A 10 per cent reduction in society and a number of the chinrii members in ' the^’Metiia^st' tonxto. ' After this meetmg all piresemt were invited to the personage to a reception, which wag much enjoyed. that acreage with the l^o parsonage was decorated for tiie- woud return a cro(p d 'lb,75G,0(y0 bales; with average-yields 13,500,000 bales; and with the lowestyyield in the past seven, years, about 11,260,- 000 bales. Lar^ cotton crops sell for less than small ones. .Tea mV lion bales in 1923 sold for $1,6CL,- 000,000. Eighteen million ortW in 1926 sold for less than $1,000,000,- OOO; toat is, the farmers picked and ginned 8 million bales of cotton in exon 1926, and gave them to the- world free of charge and, in effect, pmd $600,000,000 for the privilege. That is not good businass for farmers. Some cotton farmers think that because the Federal Farm Board has been lending to cooperatives at an average of 16. cents a pound on nirt- dling 7-8 inch staple of the 1927 crop, the Board meang. to see to it with mmts. that toe price will be at least that much for -the crop of 1630. This is not so. The Federal Farm Board cannot protect farmers when they deliberately over-plant. What the Board will do to help in market ing next year’s crop 'will depend upon what the farmers do at plant ing time. If Southern farmers should raise their own food and feed and, in addition to that, should raise the food that Southern city people eat so far as the climate and soil will let them, there would be small danger of any cotton surplus or of an unprofitable price. The Federal Farm Board recom mends that Southern farmers plant no cotton next spring until they have first provided acres enough for a reasonable supply of home-raised food and feed. The board further recommends that no land be planted to cotton which has not produced at least one-third of a bale per acre on the average of tKe last five years. These recommendations, if carried out by Southern farmers, would ma terially reduce the cotton acreage and help to remove the possibility of a cotton surplus. occasion, toe dining room was e»- pedally beautiful, the dining taMe with lace cloth and silver candlesticks wito tall white tapers, and a large bowl of pink roses, fern and tuUe, made a most attradive appearance.
