H. Searcy Makes a Little Talk to Alllancemen on How to He Successful in the Battle of Life-Wise Men Improve All Tlielr Time and Ilnild as They Go. OLOK AT YOtTR SHOES I -THE- Great American l agle' SHOE STORE, 119 Forsyth St. Has just what you want.

If you want to know what we mean by a SWEEPING Reduc tion, como to this 30 Clean Sweep 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.
