JONES, I = TO HELP SOUTH AND WES1 TO AID MOVEMENT OF CROPS To Deposit Near $50,000,000 ol , of Government Funds in National Banks. Washington, July 31.?Twentyfive to fifty million dollars of government funds will be deposited in the national banks of the South and "West at once by Secretary McAdoc to facilitate the movement of crops Federal, state and municipal bondi flnH nrl m n onm nj nrol o 1 nonor will Kr accented as security for the money upoi. which the banks will pay twc per cent interest. The motive of Secretary McAdoc lr. establishing this new policy is tc anticipate the money stringency in the late summer and fall, which in variably accompanies the marketing and movement of crops, especiallj when the crops are unusually large as the harvest now beginning forecasts. He intends to take time bj the forelock and prevent or minimize the usual tightness of money. In a statement today the secretarj made the significant answer thai government bonds would be accepted at par as security for the new de posits and that the additional monej would be placed only with bank! which have taken out at least 4( per cent of their authorized circula tlon. HELP -RESTORE PARITY. United Stated two per cent bonds serving as security for most of th< i national bank circulation, have beei depressed recently to new low mar ket records, dropping to 95% dur ing the past few days. The secre tary's willingness to accept thes< bonds at par as security for the 2! to 50 millions of promised depositi and the inducement to the nations banks to increase their circulation ui to the 4 0 per cent limit is expectet tr\ holn in roulnri r? cr thn no riftr nf t Vi i WW UWip MMM IV.OHfl IUfS VUO |/?l IV/ V/? ttt< depressed 2s, by creating a new mar ket fpr them.

ADDITIONAL DEPOSITS. The additional deposts will be ^ f placed with the national banks in the two or three principal cities in each of the states where harvestng now is in progress and where the demand for money for moving the crops most " conveniently can be met. The sec~ retary said it would not be practica. ble to scatter the deposits in view of the character of securities necessary, j The banks will be required to re' i turn the money to the public treas, ury when the crops have been moved. The present suggestion Mr. McAdoo J said, is that 15 per cent be repaid in December, 30 per cent in July, 30 ) per cent in February and 25 per cent t in March next. ( i "Steps are now being taken to carry out the plan," added the sec| retary, "so that the funds may be ] promptly available for the movement of crops." Names of banks to re' i ceive the deposits and other details \ of the arrangement will be announc. ed later. ' j THhis new policy is the antithesis , of that adopted by former Secretary . of the Treasury MacVeagh, who a year ago declined to make govern" ment deposits to relieve teh tight ~ monqy market on the ground that the i moderate surplus of federal funds at , that time should be held as a reserve to be utilized at some possible critical stage.

E. WYLIE, CONFERENCE FOR THE COMMON GOOD l Permanent Movement to Co-Ordh nate the Constructive Forces in &AII*k Onxr.litiQ The following has been sent us or publication. We heartily, em lorse every word of it. The confer snce takes place in Columbia August 5 and 7, 1913: Many a man has at some time in lis life marveled that* in Congress i Republican ever votes for a Demo :ratic measure or a Democrat for c Republican measure. Yet partj ines are not greater than patriot sm. When the United States de dared war against Spain, Congress manimously passed the Cannon bil jutting into the hands of the Presi lent fifty million dollars for nation il defense. On this all were agreed II WUB IUF lilt? rUIIlIIIOIl t>UUU. The nation is called a common vealth; and wealth in common ii lot aimed at as the national purpose ttill the national wealth, or weal, ii ;he common concern of all and In lirectly commonly to all, for all owr ir possess the nation's wealth. Fun iamental, then, is the fact of coin nuallty and also that this forc< atent in groups of men needs ex ^ression. Civilization thus is tin ixpresslng of what is common to al nthis land of the llvng. It is tin ivlng way or the way of the living (n matters of vital concern, there fore, even noisiest political antago lists may agree. Upon matter worth while all may agree. Wha these are for South Carolina, th< Conference for the Common Good meeting in Columbia, August 6-7 will attempt to decide, not by edicts but by the results of what is a sor if a clearing house of opinion ii which all views will have their Jus weight. This way of getting together t< find out a course to follow find many analogies in nature.
