DEPOSITORS WAIT TO LEAVE MONEY Run on Bank in Anderson Pleases Officers Anderson. June 27.?It la be!itr\ ed that an unprecedented thing happened in this city today when the People's bank was opened for business, after being closed three days on account of the death by ' suicide of its president Lee G. j Holleman. There were a stream of ! people waiting with their deposits I in their hands when the doors open ed to show that they believed i.i the bank, and were going to help it in every way. By noon today there had been de posited* $?">7,550.46, and withdrawals i of $2,538.87 i he amount of with drawals being the accumulation of checks cashed .by other banks while this bank was closed. Only $1.062. 46 was actually paid out in with drawals One man said he had to wait in line until ten others got out of the way before he could make ! his deposit, and then he put every j cent he had in the bank. The fol j lowing statement was given out this morning by the bank. "The People's Bank opened for j business at the usual hour this j morning1, and its affairs are run j ning with the utmost smoothness j and ease. Not a sign of panic has \appeared; the checks cashed are j only those usual in the ordinary 1 course of a day's business. On the i contrary the deposits have been i unusually heavy. The people seem ! to desire to show Mr. E. P. Van. I diver, newly elected president, and ! his co-workers the confidence which i they have in them and the bank. ! The cooperation of the papers, the j other banks and the people with j officers and directors of the bank i has been loyal and prompt and this I fine spirit has triumphed over a j trying situation and has retained I for Anderson a valuable institution ! which has contributed much in the 1 past to the growth and welfare of ; the city and county, and which j will be an invaluable asset in the I solution of the grave problem still j confronting- the country."

EDUCATORS TO REBUILD LOUVAIN Many Notable Educators Interested in Rebuild ing Belgian Univer sity Ww York. June 2f>?Tin- cor nerstone of the new Lou vain uni versity library which is being conctnicted upon plans by Whit ney Warren, a New York archi tect will be laid by an American. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi dent of Columba unversity some time late in July The rebuilding of the famous library burned and sacked by the German army in 1914, is being linn need at a cost of $000,000 by popular American contributions, ; through a committee which in cludes. President Butler, Presi i dents Lowell of Harvard and Hib j bon of Princeton university, J. P. i Morgan. Bishop Wllara f. Man | ning, Elihu Root, Charles W. El j iot and many other prominent Am I ericans. The committee has not ! yet obtained all the funds needed \ to complete the work. The ceremonies of the laying of the cornerstone will be attended i by Cardinal Mercier, and men fa ; mous in the field of philosophy. ; science and letters, as well as r*e j presentatives of the committee of I I twenty-nine nationalities which j j undertook a short time after their i j destruction, to restore the magni- j , ficant univers / buildings, j The new Horary will occupy a different site from the original' ' structure and will not be a copy j j of the splendid Flemish building j i that was destroyed. Such a re- i I storation. comtmattee members I said, would have involved too large an expenditure of money ? end effort in the copying of the . delicate archelogieal details of the j library that was sacked. Of the plans. Cardinal Mercier j wrote to Dr. Butler, that '"They j j were wonderfully appropriate*. | ; beautiful, ample, not too elaborate ; and in perfect keeping with the j national and historic spot where I America's memorial is to be erec i ted." ! -?-*-^ AUSTRALIAN DIS LIKES SPELLING j Sydney, X. S. W., June 2(j?Sir i Ad-rain Knox, chief Justice of the I high court of Australia, (toes not J approve of the modern metliod of spelling a number of words. ' Last month an affidavit was i presented in the high court, con ', taming an extract from a letter j written in Ajaierca, in which the ; English word '?programme" was i i Americanized to "program."* i His honor said he would like j Americans to know that Australia I j was not a dependency of the Uni- 1 ted States. The spelling of Eng i lish words should be done in the ! proper way. The High Court, he : said, was quite content to adhere j to the good old style of English : spelling. Having pointed to the I spelling of "centre" as "'center" I ms "honor hoped that this method i of orthography was not taught in {the schools. "'This is an Ameri I canism 1 abhor." he added. Referring to the incident Mr. : W. F. Gates, inspector of schools I in Victoria, declared that the I chief justice had placed himself in J . antagonism to the Philological So i ceties of Great Britain and Ameri [ ca and to Murray, the recognized modern lexicographer. The vic : torian education department had i adopted a small number of simpli i fications of spelling such as "pro-. I gramme." '"center, ' and '"plow." j lit had also adopted the ending,1 [ "izc" instead *ot "ise." The diph- i i "ae" had been dropped too. I too. ! "-nut." declared Mr. Gates, "for! every simplification there is the! 1 highest English authority and it ; is therefore not correct for Sir J Adrian to refer tq "program"' and : "center"' as American spelling just ! because these words are so spelt ! in the United States publications." \ -? ? +? : Germans say Dempsey will win; but their fight forecasts are in disrepute. ; There are no bigger fish in the [sea th;j.r those that nibbled and I swa*> a way.

AMERICANS TO REBUILD BELLEAU Memorial to Commemo rate Americans Who Fell in That Battle Washington, June 25,?Belleau, the little French village on the edge of the foothills of Belleau Wood, is to be rebuilt by Ameri cans a memorial to the American dead in that historic battle. There were only about eighty five houses in the little place and they were destroyed in the fierce fighting which ranged from Cha teau Thierry to Belleau Wood when the American troops turned the tide of the last German drive in the summer of J.91S. Near the village, on a hillside, white crosses mark the graves of the heroes who fell in that bat tle, and as a lasting memorial to them, the American committee which includes many notables is setting out to rebuild the place. The name of every American who joins in the project will be in scribed in a book to be deposited in the city hall in the new village of .Belleau by the Belleau Wood Memorial Asociation of which Mrs. James Carroll Fraser of this city is charman. President Harding. General Pershing. Secretary Weeks and va rious others have endorsed and supported the movement. The late Chief Justice White endorsed it before he died.

'?That the church must take its part in solving social unrest and acute industrial questions by ex presing Christs' spirit of broth erhood and confidence." Two billion pages of Sunday School literature, in addition to Bibles printed are sent to 16 for eign lands, were among t n e Society's work for the year. Dr. Brink reported. "Religious education is gaining rapidly, the report says, ''nearly every state in tne Northern Bap tist Convention is training worK ers in summer assemblies and in stitutes. Through correspondence courses, too. efficiency ol all types of church workers has been raised and this will be extended. "In 1920 there were 150 Vaca tion Bible Schools in Northern cit ies, the enrollment being lU.Ouu. Chicago alone had 62. with l.n.'lS teachers and 10.i>00 children en rolled. "Week day religious education is being undertaken in 50 cities; and more trained workers and fi nancial support are urged for bap tists to keep pace wit!) the move ment. Prediction is made that another decade w? . see this step vastly more important. ''Among foreign born Ameri cans, leaders have been developed and 36 foreign speaking groups reached, methods standardized and much progress made."
