if ' X . START NEW iiYSS ? . MOW 11AN KINtl I.AW IlKKINS WITH $100,000,000. FINAL STATEMENT MADE Nnlional Hanks of County Arc in Kim* Condition to Moot Demands of \o\\ Law?Actual Working Capita! of Federal Deserve System May be Only llalf of Authorized Total. The new federal reservo banking system will start business with a total authorized capital of about $100,000,000 for all reserve banks, no matter how many institutions the organization committee decides to set up. This became apparent Wednesday night when figures were made public, from all national banks resnondlllfr lo the last call of thn enmn. troller of the currency, made March 4. The statement issued giving these figures will he the last of the kind before formal launching of the now system, unless the organization committee changes its present purpose and delays announcement of reserve districts and citiss for the location of regional banks. The total capital and surplus of the 7,4 94 national banks reporting was given at about $1,7 80,000,000. Under the reserve act each national bank must sub./ scribe 6 per cent, of its capital and surplus to the capital of tlie reserve bank in its district, and G per cent, of this total would be about $107,000,000. There were only 7.455 national hanks who signified their intention to enter tho system, so that the total would be somewhat reduced, but tho entrance into the system of state banks and trust companies will tend to offset tliis, and it. is possible that with those institutions included the capital of all reserve banks will be near $ 1 10,000,000. The actual working capital of tlie reserve banks may reach only half tli is amount, for the act provides mandatory subscriptions of only three-sixths of tho total G per cent. Tho reserve board the machine which will direct the system, is authorized, however, to demand payment of tho other three-sixths. Tho statement shows national banks in excellent condition to meet <l<n .. .1.. O u r iii (in vi r* vii UK' nu? law.

Subscribing banks must begin pay ments for their reserve bank stout thirty days after announcement o tlio districts and reserve cities, am it was believed in some quarters tha Wednesday's announcement mlgli show a decrease in loans and (Vis counts because of this impending an nouncemont. The loan and discoun increase, t.aken together with tin fact that individual deposits increas od in the same period by more thai $30,000,000, was said to be tho bes indication tnat tno national nana arc in shape to moot the demands o the new system. According to the statement, the rc sources and liabilities of the nations banks wore $11,564,4 97,2 60; tliei capital stock $1,056,4 82,120 an their Individual deposits $6,1 1 1,828 4 57.

HKlii:ASHI) CHXVKT MAKKS ATTK.MI'T ON VilTTLK Gilt!,. + l*uls l'p Drunkenness as Main Defense, Saying Hi' Knows Nothing of tlie Crime. Dodged behind the bars of tho Charleston police station is Clarence Davis, a young white man of that city, who was arrested Wednesday morning, charged with attempting a crime for which the punishment is electrocution. His victim is alleged to have been the four-year-old daughter of a Charleston citizen. The screams of tho little girl, it is reported, saved her. Davis a the young man who was either paroled or pardoned by Gov. Hlcase several months ago, after serving part of a sentence for forgery on a King street clothier. Since his return to Charleston, however, he had been in trouble .before this latest exhibition of devilment. On February 8, 1013, in the police court ho was sentenced to $f>0 or thirty days i wii 1111* i iiiiui gang ny necorner jorvey, for assaulting a young woman in the Market, lie served his time. The story of the attempted assault is shocking. It is claimed that Tuesday afternoon Davis met the little girl on Vanderhorst street, while she was going to a storo for her mother, and enticed her to his home by giving her five cents. There, it is alleged, the ugly crime was attempted. The screams of the child brought Davis' wife and others, several of whom appeared at the investigation. At the preliminary held Thursday before Magistrate Cleorge Lunz Davis was held for trial in the court of general sessions. Three witnesses testified as to the attempt, telling of how he enticed his victim, who is but four years old, to his residence and of how her screams saved her. Davis pleaded, in a statement made to the magistrate, that he was drunk and denied any knowledge of the alleged assault, lie. was not represented by counsel. Members of the police force arrested Davis on the charge of attempted criminal assault Wednesday morning, after they had been informed of It to aidmo tvhlnU w. 4 ~ 1? .? ? aim \ i >> 1111 11 ir? ill ir^ru iu iui\f occurred Tuesday evening. According to the witnesses who appeared before Magistrate Lunz Wednesday Davis met the child Tuesday evening on Vandorhorst street, while she was on an errand for her mother and enticed her to his home by giving her live cents. There, it is alleged, the crime was attempted, but the screams of the little girl brought the wife of Davis and others to the L scene before she came to any harm.

Ion os Behind the (iovornor Arc Making Desperate KfYorts to Capture the County C'onvciitions?Smith's I i lends Arc .Making 10very MIYort to Retain Control. Preparations for the meeting of tlif Democratic clubs throughout the State three weeks from Saturday night are being made by both l'riemls and opponents of the present governor of South Carolina, w ho is a candidate for t lie t'nitcd States Senate to which the incumbent, Senator 10. 1). Smith, will stand for re-election, ruder the constitution and rules of the party tlie clubs will meet on April 2f> to elect delegates to the county convention which meets May 4. , The State convention meets in Columbia on May L'u, the first primary election will he held on August 2f?, and the second primary on September S. Realizing that control of the clubs carries with it control of the county convention and through them domi nation of tho State convention and tlio State executive committoe along with tho election machinery both the Smith and Please forces are on the qui vivo for tho club meetings. With both sides alert it is expected that attendance at every club meeting throughout the State will break all records this year. The 1912 State convention was overwhelmingly against. Clov. P.loase, his friends controlling only about six out of the 41 county conventions. This year the Please faction is straining every nerve to gain control of the State convention and the executive committee and word was sent out long ago to turn ont. and get control of the club meetings. The Smith people are quietly determined to retain control of the election machinery and capture the State convention. Tho result is impossible to forecast with any degree of accuracy. Former Gov. John Gary Evans of Spartanburg is the present State chairman of the Democratic executive commltteo and Mr. Christie lionet of Columbia is secretary. Each county convention elects a member of the State executive committee and iiu- luiiuiuiifr cutis i no Main cnair111 an. Mr. Benet's name lias been brought forward for State chairman and it is believed that ho would make an acceptable chairman to all factions in the Democratic party. He lias not been sounded on the proposition by his friends who want the party to secure his services. While some minor amendments to the rules governing regulations of the primary may be advocated before the convention, it is not believed that any radical restrictions will bo adopted. A plan to prevent enrollment of a voter at but one club and providing for the filing of certitied lists of the club rolls some 10 or 15 days with the clerk of court in every county before the llrst primary will likely he urged on tlio convention. There is practically no likelihood of any such step as the restriction of the primary to registered voters will be adopted. One big light before the convention will possibly bo the move to abolish the county to county canvass of candidates. The suggestion to abolish this plan is being warmly seconded throughout the State and there are {,wlinnil/t.w. 4 1, n t 4 1. ? - t - iniiinuiiwiia liiul iiiu iui)\t3 may DO successful. There is a growing iilea (hat this biennial tour is working more harm than good and that it would bo better for everybody to have it discontinued. If the plan to abolish the county to county canvass is pushed it will stand good chance of being successful. The idea is to let each candidate run his own campaign and speak when and wherever lie pleases and not speak at all if lie doesn't want to is growing through out the State. * ?

FIGHT STILL GOING ON m<:t*OllTS FROM MEXICO TFLIi OF I XCFKT.UX KFSI LT. * Border Town Is Cnder Impression That Something Mas llapiionod Towards the South. A dispatch from Juarez, Mexico, Tuesday says that city was thrown into a state of high excitement lato Tuesday when it was reported that Torroon had fallen, but the report failed of verification or denial. Rebel ofllcials telegraphed to Gomez I alacio asking (Jen. Villa if the news was true. The operator theie replied lie was under orders to transmit no messages of any kind. (Jen. Carranza said lie regretted that he could not confirm the report, and other officials had the same reply. The first report was that Marion 1,etcher, 1'nited States consul at Chihuahua, had transmitted to W. J. Bryah, secretary of state, a report from (Jeorgo Carothers, vice consul, who has been at the front with Villa, that Torreon was captured at 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. On the heels of this some rebel ofilcers telephoned to the offices of the Mexico & Northwestern railroad ?'it. Juarez that the capitulation of tho federals was ofllcially announced. The rumors spread rapidly and in a few moments tho streets loading to the telegraph office were jammed. At tho international bridge there was a stream of interested persons pouring from F'J 1 Paso, and orders were issued that all he searched for weapons. The saloons which were allowed to reopen Monday night were again closed. That something was wrong with the news began to he suspected when rebel officials were observed among the seekers for confirmation. Singly and in groups they returned from (len. Carranza's office, shaking their heads and went to the telegraph office. Here too verification was lacking and finally Frederieo Clonzales Car/,a telegraphed directly to Gen. Villa, only to ho informed by the operator that his message could not bo handled. The whole incident left the impression that something of importance was taking place in the south, and it was hoped that official announcement of victory merely was being delayed f/v.. * i 1 r ? ~ AMI iwi nunnj p u 1 puau ivuwwu uiiijr iw > 11la. A telegram from Villa to Gen. Carranza, given out Tuesday afternoon, felicitated Carranza on his welcome to Juarez and said that Villa hoped to announce the surrender of Torreon in a few hours. Another telegram purporting to come from Villa said he was meeting with desperate resistance in attempting to take the general barracks, tho last position held by tho federals, and was about to dynamite buildings in tho neighborhood so ho could use his artillery. 1JOY KILLS TEACH EK. Pretty Young Woman Murdered by Scholar She Expelled. Tho body of Miss Lydia needier, a high, school teacher of Portland, N. Y., was found Saturday in a clump of bushes on tho outskirts of that town.
