Any man or woman can understand this statement.
The Banks owe to depositors $ 668,360.35 |
This indebtedness must always be held in mind, and the
Banker arranges his assets so as to be able to pay any check
on demand.
The Bank also owes its National Bunks notes in circula

These notes, usually considered as currency by the public,

United States Government, and the Government is protected by

money.

These loans are made for the purpose of carrying on the
business of the community, are made to persons of good stand
ing, secured by collateral, by mortgage on real estate or by
stocks and bonds. Most of these notes can be discounted any
day with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or with our cor
responding city bunks.
Overdrafts

From the store and the offices in the rear, revenue is obtained.

ATLANTA, Nov. 15.—That cotton!
is king again is acknowledged on ev
ery hand among cotton factors, deal-i
ers, growers and agricultural lead
ers generally, who have been in At-;
lanta during the past few days.
At the Candler warehouse, per
haps the largest cotton storage depot!
in the South, covering sixteen acres,
where cotton men from every* part of ‘
the southern states may be seen, it j
is generally conceded that the fleecy 1
staple is shooting upgrade, and by j
the end of the year a will hover around
the 30-cent mark. Frank Inman, At
lanta cotton man and an officer of the j
Cotton Storage Finance Company,’
which leased the Candler warehouse
from the multi-millionaire soft drink
manufacturer, sees nothing but mil
lions for the Southern farmer in thej
»skyrocketing of the cotton market, i
Or.e of the statistical-minded re-,
! porters of the local newspapers has
calculated that the advance of cot-j
ton over last year's prices the enhan-,
j cement in every county in every state
in the South will enable the average ’
grower to leap from his wagon, if he
so desires, into an automobile in the^
most cases paid for in the difference
he will receive for his cotton this!
year over 1921.
1 f the price is sustained business ;
men predict that prosperity will re-;
turn to Georgia, except in those sel-
tions where the boll weevil has let no
cotton be marketed. In many secti-;
ons of the state where there is a
crop—though a short one—the whis
tles. it is pointed out, ought o blow
again in full blast.
Cause of Prosperity’s Delay |
Gentlemeni n Atlanta -who sur- J
round themselves with economic dia-|
grams and business compasses de-J
clare that the failure of prosperity;
to stage a come-back during the last
two years has been on acount of thej
disparity existing between what the
farmer has been getting and what j
other classes of workers have been i
getting. They say that any kind of j
prosperity that begins elsewhere ex-1
cept.on the farm is artificial and in-1
evitably collapses. Hence the nerv-
cus and unstable conditions since
May, 1920. Joel Hunter of Atlanta,!
an unusually clear and economic’
thinker has steadfastly held that the j
South and the rest of the nation!
would not recover from the business i
slump until the farmer’s dollar be-;
came worth as much as anybody else's I
dollar. Now that the farmer's dol-1
lar is coming back into its own again, i
it is time, according to business men
here, to expect business generally to
show a spurt.
Cotton, it is claimed, is the life of
business in maiyy sections of the
state and the South. It makes busi
ness hum in the cotton mills, keeps
the stores running, fills the fair
grounds, populates colleges and pays
doctor bills. Bread is the staff of
life, but cotton buys bread, and many
ether things besides. That it has as
cended to the throne again is cause
for rejoicing, according to agricultu
ral leaders, but they say the growers
should not lose sight of the desira
bility of keeping it there. They de
clare that orderly and sensible mar
keting may not have been wholly re
sponsible for the re-coronation of the
king, but orderly and sensible mar
keting has undoubtedly been of much
HOUSTON. Tex.. Nov. 13.—The
most disastrous fire in the twenty-
one years history of the Gulf coast
oil fields now is raging in the Hum
ble sector, seventeen miles northeast
of Houston. Three-quarters of a
million barrels of oil now are burn
ing and fully two million gallons of
oil nearby are endangered.
During a storm Sunday afternoon
lightning struck tank No. 21 of hte
Gulf Pipe Line Company, transpor
tation subsidiary of the Gulf Oil Cor
poration. A column of flame shot
skyward 200 feet.
Early today tank No. 22 caught on
fire. The flames, fanned by the high
winds, now threaten tanks Nos. 11
and 8, and even the big pump station

can save the Gulf tank farm, with
the further probability that the Sun
Company tanks on the opposite side
of the road will ignite. More than
a million barrels of oil are in stor
age in the Sun company tanks.
The fire s one of the most spectacu
lar ever witnessed in the oil fields,
the flames leaping high into the air
and being planly visible for a dis
tance of more than ten mles away.
Great clouds of smoke hover over
the entire countryside.

“By the help of Tanlac I have over
come a case of nervous indigestion I
had suffered from for ten to twelve
years,** is the emphatic statement of
Norman W. Brown, well-known wall
paper and paint dealer, of 213 North
Cedar St., Charlotte, N. C.
“My stomach was always out of fix
and everything disagreed with me.
I was troubled with heartburn and
dizziness, and at times there was a
pressure of gas around my heart
that almost cut off my breath.
“Since taking Tanlac my digestion
is fine. My appetite is a wonder and
I eat just anything I want. In fact,
my stomach acts and feels just like
a new one and my nerves are as
steady as a die. To put it all in a
few words, I am just the same as a
new man. It’s a pleasure for me to
tell my friends about Tanlac.**
