Phone 89 NEW BANK ORGANIZED. . 1 — • J The Farmers & Mechanics Bank of Cedartown About to Open Doors—Full Capital Stock Quickly Subscribed. The Farmers ft Mechanics Hank, of Cedartown, Is the name of a strong new banking Institution about to be launchtd In the business world. • Its capital stock of $25,000 Is all subscrlb- ed, paid In, and on deposit In the Farmers ft Tradeis Hank In Atlanta; and as soon an the charter can be se- curcd (the application for which ap pears elimwhere In this paper,) and a building fitted up for IU occupancy, the new bank will lx gin business' It Ih hoped that it can throw open Us doors to depositors by Nov. 1st. Mr. J. A. Sasser, a prominent bank er who Is the secretary and treasurer of the Hankers Financing Co. of At lanta, was here last week In consul tation with a number ^>f our represen tative basinets men, farmers and me chanics, and It was decided that the time is ripe for this Important step In Codartown’s behalf. The capital stock was promptly subscribed, and Immediate action was decided upon. Mr. Win. J. Harris, who hnH Just or ganised The Georgia Fire Insurance Co., Is president of the now Insti tution. The plan Which he haa de vised for that company and his suc cess In organizing this mammoth en terprise,stamp him as one of the lead ing young financiers of the South. The organization of the bank is a natural corollary of the big Insurance com pany, and President Harris Ib to be doubly congratulated on his success. The Vico President will bo Mr. It. H.

Russell, for the past eigh teen and a half years the president of the Standard Publishing Co. and one of tho Editors of this paper, has been elected as Cashier. Hon. W. C. llunn, one of Cedartown’a most einin- it lawyers, is the attorney for the >w bank. The stockholders ✓were fortunate in t’.ielr choice of a name The Farmers ft Mechanics Hunk and a number of best farmres and artisans are ac quiring an Interest In the new enter prise. The Bankers Financing Co. of which Hon. Ast G. Candler of Atlanta,presi dent of the Candler Hank and the wealthiest man In Georgia, Is presi dent and Messrs. Wm. 8. VVltham and W- D. Manley the financial agents,will furnish the Farmers & Mechanics Hank with strong connections in all parts of the country. A special fea ture on which the so-called “Witham banks" lay stress Is the fact that they have an arrangement by which their depositors and stockholders are Insur ed against loss One of these bauks may burn up or fall, but the depost tors have an absolute protection, and the stockholders are insured against liability. The Farmers ft Mechanics Hank will make a sp«'clal feature of their Sav ings Department. Savings banks have been of Incalculable value in the North and West, and there Is no geod reason why the South should not also be helped to prosper through their ag ency, especially when tho depositor Insurance feature Is borne in mtnd- Cedartown’s rapid growth and con tlnually brightening prdspects Justify this addition to our banking facilities We already have In the Commercial Hank and the Hank of Cedartown two of the best banking houses in this sec tion.but there is abundant room and warm welcome for this future addition to our business Interests. There is less capital Invested In banks in C« dartown than any city of its size in Georgia. The following extract from the At Junta Constitution as to Mr. Wit hum and his famous banking enterprise will be rend with intefcstiin this eon nection:— This country, progressive and origi mil as It Is. has not furnished a busi ness 'development more suoc»“sful and interesting or of greater practical value to the people and territory af fected. Is thd judgment of a well in- of third year the combined capital of the Witham banks was $76,000—now the combined capital of the Witham hanks amounts to $1,272,800, with a surplus of over $500,000, which Is over 14 per cent of the entire capital em ployed by the state banks In Georgia at the beginning of the year 1905. Tho deposits In the Witham banks also a- mount to one-eight of the entire de posits of the state banks In Georgia. In .addition to the surplus accumulat ed, the dividends to stockholders will average 20 i»er cent per annum, thus showing that the stockholders have, on the average doubled their Invest ment every five years. The Atlanta office of the wUham banks, which Is headquarters, handles over $5,000,000 per annum, and Is conducted by W. 8. WltWam, president and financial ag ent, and a large corps of able and experienced assistants. The Witham bajiks are not a chain of banks, as each one has Its own cap ital stock, surplus, stockholders, and board of directors; they have no con nection one with the other. Many at tempts have been made In the ynlted States to conduct a system of branch banks or chain of banks, and com munity of interest banks, but they all failed of their purpose and now are following tho Witham plan, which is remarkable for Its success and safe guards by which It Is surrounded. A unique and Interesting feature of the Witham bnnks Is the depositors’ guarantee fund, which Insures the de posits against loss. There are no other banks in the world that offer this protection. There is a bill pend ing the present congrses for the adop tion of this plan to secure national banks. This U not only a great compliment to Mr. Wltham’s genius as a financier, but the highest possible Indorsement of his methods of money handling In addition to this the Witham banks have created the cash emergency fund of $200,000, and this, together with their financial backing, gives each bank a direct foreign booking of over $750,000, although the individual capi tal of the banks. In many Instances, does not exceed $25,000. The Witham banks have been of Incalculable benefit to the rural dis tricts of Georgia, and have accomp lished more In the way of ^pbetantial and permanent Improvements than any other agency with ten times the amount of capital they employ. They have created means for the concen tration and economical handling of scattered funds. Opportunities profitable Investment have encour aged development and improvement and have placed the country towns and communities on the same basis as populous ct.es fq* marshaling their capital and developing their re sources. They have.,, assisted in erecting school houses, putting lu water works and electric lights, have encouraged Immigration, agriculture, and have couraged the building of brick stores Instead of wooden shacks; thus In creasing the population, building cot ton warehouses, enabling the farmers to hold their cotton for better prices and many other enterprises of prof and convenience. It Is said that In many Instances six months after a Witham bank Is or ganized in a small town the prop erty Increases in value over 60 per cent. * Selz Shoes. WEAR THE BEST.

After nearly a score of years In the service of our people—eighteen and a half, to be exact—the editors of The Standard are making something of change In their business relations, p. E. B. Russell, the senior editor, has been honored by election as Cashier of the new Farmers & Me chanics Hank; Mr. W. S. Cbleraan, the Junior editor, has likewise been complimented by selection as Secre tary of The Georgia Fire Insurance which will be formally organized here today. It has been with mingled feelings of gratification aud reluctance that these positions of responsibility and trust have been accepted, for it necessarily means a partial severance from the newspaper work which has had our undivided affection and at- tontton for so many years. The sev erance will be ouly partial, however, for we shall still retain direct charge the paper, and as long as our names remain at. the masthead our readers can depend upon It that the present high standard of The Stand ard will be fully maintained. It will lx* necessary, of course, to have much of the work done by others that we heretofore done ourselves, but shall see that these duties are placed In thoroughly competent hands. Miss Maude Sanders, one of our most talented and capable young ladies, has accepted a position as local editor and will be in charge of our business office, and Mr. J. D. Smith, a clever bust- ill also act as a news- gatherer. We also want a good live correspondent In every neighborhood In Folk county. Mr. Chas. Beasley for so many years The Standard’s popular and competent foreman, will be In direct charge of the mechanical department, where he will have the assistance of Messrs. Geo. Burgdorf and Carl Carroll. All stated above, .the present editors will continue to direct the policy of the paper, the constnatly increasing expense of operating a newspaper plant making it desirable to engage' in other lines. The news is what our readers want, and they shall get It in The Standard And it is not necessary for us to add that we are heart and soul in sympa thy with the Farmers’ Union in Its effort to get a. fair price now and al ways for their cotton. Wb believe that the two new insti tutions with which the Standard ed itors are to be connected *111 prove powerful factors in aiding in the de velopment of this section, and we pro pose to work harder than ever before for the upbuilding of Cedartown and Polk county. Nearly a score of years have been spent In this service,; and we have* been at it too long and hav become too dee, ly Interested in it to permit any change of attitude now On the other hand, we shall try to make the Standard better than ever as a newspaper, and to add to its use fulness as an active worker for the best interests of our town and county. deeply appreciate the hearty co operation and cordial support we have received in the past, and shall try to merit and hope to receive continuance of the favor of our friends, patrons and the public generally We are yours for a really Greater Cedartown aud Folk County.
