ALBANY COAL & WOOD CO,
SPEECH OF HON. J. S.
Hr
Hon. J. S. Davis, cashier of the First National Bank of Albany, was
among the speakers at the banquet telven by the bankers of Atlanta to
the visiting bankers during the recent convention of the bankers of
Georgia and Florida, held in Atlanta, and several requests having been
made for copies of his speech, he has furnished It to The Herald for pub
lication. The speech follows:
Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen:
Breathes .there a man with soul so
dead,
Who to himself hath never said,
This Is my own, my native land!
If such there be," ho Is not to be found
among the banker? of Georgia or
Florida.
I count myself fortunate in that I
am privileged tonight, in this pres
ence, to exploit my knowledge of a
subject which has been an ever-present
thought through many mouths. For
every banker In the South has been,
either a willing of unwilling, assistant
to the Hon. Harvie Jordan, without
having his name on the payroll.
■ In his effort to ably second the Cot>
ton Growers Association, in Its laud
able undertaking to get a quid pro quo
for the cotton product of this sunny
clime, the average banker has worked
overtime. In furnishing for the grow
ing crops and financing the holders
of the marketable staple, the banker
has presented an appearance strongly
suggestive of the strenuous attitude
ofthat doughty, fabled hero, Atlas, as
he is pictured laboring under his pon
derous load, upholding the earth.
I do not by any means wish to con
vey the idea that the hankers -want
the earth, for lately they are very like
the little boy who, being very fond of
cakes, partook so largely that on be
ing asked by the waiter If he wanted
more said, “No, I don’t want them I Is
got." An intimate association with
King Cotton does not impress the idea
that he is altogether like 'olid ;Klng
Cole, for he is not always a merry old
soul. And I am violating no confi
dence when I tell you that the course
of the cotton market Is like that of
true love, in that it never runs smooth!
4 The banker, however, In pursuit of
that altruism that characterizes the
profession, ddes what he may to help
others, recognizing the obligations im
posed by the reciprocal relations sus
tained by banks and the public. Po
litical economy must be rewritten and
due recognition given the fact that’
banks.are not parasites but producers.
If he who makes two bladfcB of grass
grow where only one grew before is
a benefactor, surely the banker that
provides the easy, gradual and profit
able, marketing, preventing congestion
or atrophy, should share in the credit
of the benefaction. In a spirit of pa
triotism the banker rises to meet the
commercial crisis, protecting values
to the end of saving his country, and
he “who saves his country, saves all
things and all things saved bless him.”
The beneficence of co-operation was
never more clearly demonstrated than
ill the hffly alliance between planter
and banker to protect the silver fleece
of the South from the rapacity of the
commercial Jasons. Knight errantry
furnished champions who sought to
right the wrong, but modern chivalry
expresses itself In a determination to
see that none shall wrong the l-tght.
So, in every department of life, but
especially In the bankers’ guild, It is
our Interest to safeguard principal ps
well as our principle to regard the in
terest. .
This Southland of ours—the fairest
of ten thousand and altogether love
ly— a land of sentiment and sense,
whose past history is an epic, In which
are Imbedded lyric gems, holding the
soft suggestion of soil and sky. A
land In which Nature's form and face
are fair, friendly and full of grace. In
no other spot doth the heavens so
luminously declare the glory of God,
or the firmament so delightfully show-
eth His handiwork. In the hieroglph-
lcs of winding stream and embossed
characters of mountain ranges, God
has here written In Nature His mes
sage of love and mercy to man, to the
Interpretation of which the Rosetta
stone of a grateful. heart must be
brought.
In confirmation of history, this
land of song and story Illustrates the
fact that the best types of civiliza
tion the earth has enjoyed have al
ways been expressed In the lives of
agricultural people, supporting such
industries and commerce as hre agri
culture’s natural concomitants.
No greater boon to the people of this
Southland could a beneficent Creator
have given than a practical monopoly
In the production of cotton. To tills
we owe the fact that this Is ‘a “Land
of Cotton,” and through the warp and
woof of its history, this silver thread
shines with Increasing lustre. Its
present position among the Important
products of the world Is only a proph
esy of the future wenllh and greatness
of our section.'
As our Inimitable Grady poetically
said: “Cotton is a royal plant. The
whole world attends with Interest
upon Its birth; and the music of fall
ing rain drops on its leaves Is hoard
around the world.” It. Is both food
and raiment, and has elevated the
South to tho lucrative position of be
ing clothier to tho world. In fact, as
soon as tho missionaries shall com
plete tlielr servtce to humanity and
the benighted heathen shall wake up
to a knowledge of their hideous naked
ness, it will require 20,000,000 bales of
American cotton annually to meet tho
demands of consumption. Then will
there be something doing In the South
sure. Every field will bo liorticultu-
ratedj and tho music of humming spin
dles and scuffling looms will bo heard
in the InnS, and prove as sweet as the
song of the mocking-bird that makes
melodious the moonlit air,
In 1870 I was privileged to listen to
an able address by the South's greatest
post-bellum orator, Hon. Benjamin H.
Hill. With that prescience that char
acterizes one Inspired by genius, after
picturing the desolation of the ruined
South, lie sketched most graphically
her glorious future. He said: '
“Though Priam Is dead and Troy has
been sacked, yet there are more than
a thousand Aeneases, and on as many
Tlbers so many Romes shall rise."
The work of rehabilitation and res
toration, begun under such dire diffi
culties, but under no shadow of doubt,
has slowly progressed and the temple
of the South’s prosperity Is being
grandly erected, Incorporating frag
ments of the broken arches, and col
umns of her past glory. As It rises
Its magnificence fascinates the eye
that Its magnitude attracts.
The South occupies the' va.utage
ground, the strategic position of all,
in the competition for those things
that make for contentment and
wealth. In fact, every physical con
dition that could minister to health
and happiness obtains, and our people
are proving equal to the demands of
the situation, agriculturally and In
dustrially. See the awakened giant,
girding himself to meet the emergen
cies of a day whose bright mom Is
flooding the earth with its radiance.
Of course, our mineral deposits are
of vast importance; our timber re
sources are furalBhlng a large and
satisfactory increment to our Increas
ing wealth, but In our agricultural
possibilities lie the Btrength and'hope
that make the future so alluring.
Mineral resources have their limita
tions and sure exhaustion, hut agricul
tural possibilities grow brighter
through the years of their utilization.
The same soil tliqt fed the teeming
millions in time of Pharaoh is still
producing an annual harvest, true to
tho generous nature with which God
endowed it. So, when forests and
mines shall have yielded up their
present, stores of wealth to man’s In
satiable cajoling, tho fallow fields of
this section shall have renewed their
youth under Intelligent system of cul
tivation, and prove to be an expression
of nature’s exhaustless bounty.
Our cotton crop, with all of its by
products, averages now $700,000,000
annually; more value than the output
of all tho gold mines of tho world. A
foundation broad and sure upon which
this people may rear a prosperity built
after the similitude of the palace of
Aladln, for we have an Aladin’s lamp,
more potont than that of the Imagina
tion, a composition of gold and enter
prise that shall till this “land of cot
ton” with enchantment and make it a
country of peace, plenty and wealth.

writes: “This is to certify that I have
used Orino Laxative Fruit, Syrup for
chronic constipation, and it has prov
en, without a doubt, to be a thorough,
practical remedy for this trouble, and
it is with ploasure I offer my con
scientious reference.” Hilsman-Salp
