BANKS GET STAMPS; BUSINESS CONTINUES

Today the local banks had a plentiful supply of special United States revenue stamps while there was a steady demand for them. The First National received stamps from three of its corresponding banks. As yet, however, the federal authorities have sent no revenue stamps to Richmond and had the local banks not made arrangements to secure them from banks in the larger cities many lines of business in this city would have been paralyzed yesterday and today. The incompetent methods employed by the revenue officers in this matter was a subject for much adverse criticism on the part of local business men.

CANDIDATES HURRY TO FILE EXPENSES

About fifteen last-minute expense accounts of candidates at the November general election were filed today. All of these were from candidates for minor offices who spent nothing in their campaign, and did not know until recently that the lawr requires an accounting whether money is expended or not. Prosecuting Attorney Reller filed his account yesterday, reporting that he spent $53. Claude Keever, candidate for clerk, also filed his account yesterday. He said the campaign cost 1. n $134. There is some question as to whether today or tomorrow is the last day for filing the accounts. This depends on whether the law is construed to mean "thirty days after the election," or "within thirty days." No candidates have been prosecuted in this county for failing to comply with the law.
