At this critical juncture in the af
fairs of our farmers, when nearly every
man is doin', his own thinking and try
ing to see his way clear for the future,
we present some of the views of Mr. W.
E. H. Searcy, a well-known allianceroan
of Gridin, bearing on the subject:
Alllancemen generally want all the
profits in dividends, but that is wrong.
It is the accumulation of capital that
makes all enterprises successful. The
banks always pass something to a sur
plus account, and so do all the stores,
and ail co-operative companies of every
nature. Hence they all grow, while al
liance institutions stand still and arc
bled to death. Let it be the general
a lTtlll flail Q rule, then, in all other business matters,
illW I Ml ■ that we pass one half the profits to cap
ital and distribute the other half.
Farmers must build for their children,
and not be like summer butteriiies,
sucking all the sweets and leaving noth
ing for the future needs of their busi
ness.
We started out with an oil mill, guano
factory, ginnery and warehouse, which
was too much to begin with. The cir
cumstances were such, howover, that
we had toseizo upon the opportunity to
inaugurate all the business at once or
give it up to others. The citizens of
Gridin began to build these enterprises,
but made an offer to the alliance to sell
to them if they desired to buy. The al
liance accepted their proposition, and I
raised the money necessary to secure
the property. Undertaking so much
has been a lead to carry; bnt we have
carried it to success at last. We have
done well all along, but the burden
foil heavily upon some. We have now,
howover, organized the Farmers' Bank
ing Company upon a very strong and
satisfactory basis, which will not only
sustain our bnsincss, but will be of great
benefit to the farmers of this section.
The Banking Company owns and will
control all our property here. It has a
largo subscription of over 600 bales of
cotton, recontly subscribed, and is con
stantly growing to dnancial success.
Some of our stockholders have not yet
subscribed cotton, but I believe all will
do so. Our design is to take up a cot
ton subscription every year, and grow
larger and more powerful as the years
come and go. The truth 1s, if the farm
ers will continue to take hold as they
have been doing we will soon distance
all competition, and be the most power
ful financial organization In this section.
We will have now a full lino of suc
cessful business; a bank, a guano fac
tory, an oil mill, a ginnery and a ware
house.
Remember, that all this business is
owned exclusively by the alliance. Tho p
brethren, with few exceptions, are ail in *'
line, and we have but little friction in
our business.
When wo started, tho prediction was
that farmors could not run any business
successfully; that they would fall out
and fuss and show their selfishness and
joalousies and want of confidence and
petty spites; but we have had but little
of this. It was a slander on tho farm-
Tho great heart of tho alliance is
true, and they are all marching abreast
to success.
Many do not understand the advan
tages of a bank. Lot mo explain. A
co-operative oil mill or other business
Bimply makes money upon what one in
vests In it. On *25,000 it would proba
bly mako $5,000 or more. A bank with
$25,000 capital, however', can procure,
under the rules of hanks, probably $75,-
000 from tho money centers for its
patrons. It not only makos on its capital
as a co-opcratlvo business, but brings in
additional money. At Griffin a combi
nation of both kinds of business under
one charter is going to ho a grand sue-

And truly, “t’is a tale of woe,” of one
who had Catarrh in the Head, for many
years, and who really had been “rot
ting,” from hour to hour, until Dr.
Sage’s Catarrh Remedy came to his
notice. He used It at first with slight
signs of relief, but he persisted until a
permanent cure was effected, and the
world was again pleasant to live In.
From his awful suffering he was set free
by the expenditure of a few dollars In
that incomparable remedy.
