While the body of Benedict XV j lies in stale in the throne room ai the vatican, with a constant proces sion of princes of the church, papal emissaries, archbishops, priests and other high dignitaries passing In si lent tribute to the dead pontiff, the Italian State, for the first time tn the history of federated Italy, has oill clally recognized a period of mourn ing for the Pope. In view of the long struggle be tween the 'State and the vatican, and the noteworthy attempts of Benedict XV to bring about an understanding between the church and the govern ment-as successfully instanced In the resumption of relations between France and the Pope-the action of tho Italian government ls considered significant in ecclesiastical and civil quarters. Cardinal Merry Del Val, who acted as cardinal chamberlain during tho last few days of the Pope's Illness, has been replaced by Cardinal Gas parri, papal secretary of state. The cardinal chamberlain ls vested with all tho papal authority In the Interim between tho Pope's death and tho election of his successor, lie issues no hulls or pnpal edicts, however, for Benedict's seals have been 'broken In order that no further acts may go out under his name.

It is lo be regretted that pressur? of withdrawals this week have caused the bank to "be closed, for $175,000 of war finance corporation funds I would have been available to the I bank: before tho end of the week. Ap plication had been approved, and when final arrangements were com pleted the application was signed by the directors and ready to be sent off. When this was completed the bank officials hoped to aveit closing tho bank, but unfortunately talk of tho weakened condition of tho bnnk be came so widely circulated that Mon-j day and Tuesday showed steady and continued withdrawals of deposits at the bank. So great was this pressure of withdrawals that, despite the loyal I assistance of other banks, officers of the People's Bank realized that night that they could not stand another day such as had just been passed, and it was then that It was seen that the bank could not be opened again. The effect of the closing of t|el People's Bank has shown tho true Anderson spirit during the day. The three other banks of the city are In strong financial condition, and a few nervous persons asked for their de posits, but In practically every caso | when they were told that they could get their money they did not want it ns badly as they though1.

Columbia, Jan. 20, 1922. .Editor Keowee Courier: As you have been so nico to me by sending me your paper while in Co lumbia, I desire to express my appre ciation of your kindness by furnish ing you with some legislativo mat ters. Nothing of special interest has as yet passed the Senate. Several bills have passed tho House. They are lax revenue bills-a bill to tax gasoline two cents per gallon; a bill for tax ing moving picture shows; also a bill calling for an inheritance tax, grad uated, w'th certain exemptions. The great question seems to be "How can we take care of the educa tional Interests of the State at large and at the same time lower taxes to say nothing of the good roads movement? In my opinion, this can not bo done. If any one of my con stituents can see how lt can be done 1 wish he, she or they would let mo know. It will be information appre ciated by the General Assembly. I will bo glad to hear from any ono In regard to their views on this mat ter. Do any want their home school crippled or their roads to go un workod? If we ever do decide to pass any legislation worth while at this session, I will write you again and let you know. In my opinion, lt is a bad time to change legislation, as everything else Deems tc be bad enough without do ing anything to make it worse. Wo might legislate in haste and repent at leisure. I think 1 will try to kill bills at this session instead of Intro ducing any bills. From what I can learn, wo have more commissions and commissioned salaried people than we have money to pay them with. Everybody wants moro pay and loss work. We had with us this week John F. Craig, cashier of the West Union Hank. He was attending a meeting of tho Railroad Commission in tho interest of getting a depot at West Union. The Oconee delegation feels honored by his presence.
