| More than 1.500 persons, it is feared, sank to death early yesterday, 'when within four hours after she crashed into an iceberg, the mammoth 'White Star Line steamer Titantic, bound from Liverpool to New York, on her maiden voyage, went to the bottom off the New Foundland banks. Of the approximately 2200 persons on board the giganic steamer, some of world-wide prominence, only 675 are known to have been saved. The 'White Star Line offices in New York, while keeping up hope to the last, were free to admit there there had been "horrible loss of life. Accepting the early estimates of the fatality list as accurate, the disaster is the greatest in the marine history of the world. Nearest ap approaching - proaching approaching it in magnitude were the disasters to the Atlantic in 1873, when 575 lives were lost, and to the La Bourgogne in 1898, with a fataliy list of 571. , Should it prove that other liners, notably the Allen Liner's Par Parisian - isian Parisian and Virginia, known to have been i the vicinity of the Titanic early yesterday, had picked up other of her passengers, the extent of the calamity would be greatly reduced. This hope still remains.

Yesterday a traveling man sold some something - thing something to a person in Fitzgerald, 'and took his $50.00 note in settlement. He then offered the note to us for $40.00. The note. was good and would have been paid. but If we had bought it, the money would have gone to anothsr state. A man from down about Waycross ap applied - plied applied to us today for a loan, and we could have gotten a stiff rate of interest, but the money would have gone entirely beyond vur territory. We declined both of these propc: sitions for the reason that we believe in the conservation of our funds. We endeavor to save money to lend in the territory from which we get our deposits, and thereby we know that we are a very useful institution. Our strongest dasire is to be an exceed exceedingly - ingly exceedingly strong bank and very useful. THE EXCHANGE NA TIONAL BANK Capital Stock Strength, $200.000.00 Deposits, . . . . $400,000.00
