25 YEARS AGO
On Tuesday July 18 1899, the
Stank of lutFayctte was formally
organized and opened its doors for
business with a capital stock paid
in of *20,000.
Today this institution which has
g:-. ivn with the years and which
has contributed to the growth and
I'velopment of our county, cele
ues its Twenty-Fifth anniversa
ry n the tiles of the Messenger
wofty-five years ago we find this
<.Mianr. it on the opening of the
Bank of 1, a Fayette.
"All will be glad to know that
the Bank of La Fayette opened
its loot’s for business Tuesday
It begins under favorable auspi
ces, well-housed, well-officered,
with plenty of capital and a fine
field of labor before it. It will
be an important factor in the
rusines- world of the county and
should have the hearty support
of all."
riie Bank of L&Fayettc has been
am "important factor in the busi
ness w >r!d of the county," during
the past twenty-five years, and u
an institution of strength of which
the county is justly proud. It has
justified the predictions of its
friends and m this its twenty-fifth
birthday is receiving the warm
congratulations of its host of cus
tomers and friends.
' WITH DAVIS WE’LL
WIN
j With John W. Davis and Charles
W. Bryan to bear aloft the stan
dard of Democracy the Democratic
party will have leaders worthy of
the best traditions and principles
of the party in the coming Presi
dential compaign.
6 Davis is fitted by training, by
® natural endowments, by a high
® character and by experience in
governmental affairs. He and Bry
an, because Bryan has a record of
clean, progressive administration
in the west which commends his
ability as a worthy leader, wi
cement the forces of the Democrat
ic party into a mighty force in
the campaign.
Davis’ statement to the conven
tion impresses one of his outstand
ing ability as a statesman and it
is believed that his leadership will
resemble somewhat that of the lata
President Wilson. Wilson thought
a great deal of Davis and sent hirn
to the highest post, as Ambassa
dor to England, within the gift of
the President. He made good in
London and whereever he has serv
ed the records show that his leader
ship has been unfaltering and his
service of the highest order of a
real statesman.
Committeed to the Democratic
platform, which W. J. Bryan says
is the best the Democrats have ev
er written, Mr. Davis’ first state
ment breathes the true spirit of a
Democrat: "There can be no com
promise with reaction. Liberal
principles must and will preva'l.
Honesty in government, that public
office is a public trust, equal right
to all men ami special privilege to
none, fair and equable taxation,
an open door of opportunity to the
humblest citizen in all the land,
liberty at home and courage and
honor and helpfulness abroad.
These principles are dear to the
heart of the East and the West
and revered by. the North and the
South."
Upon these principles and pro
nouncements, Mr. Davis launches
his campaign, and with this type
of leadership which will draw the
forces of Democracy in a common
cause for good government, coupled
with the record of the Republican
administration of three and one
i half years, we will win in the No
vember election.
The Coosa Baptist Encampment
pitches tent here next Monday for
a week. The assembling of the rep
resentatives of this church for the
avowed purpose of Bible study,
training for efficient leadership,
and the high type of the personnel
of the leaders and speakers, make
the Encampment of significance
not only to the Baptists but to the
entire community, on behalf of
which we extend a cordial welcome
to LaFayette, and may your stay
be most profitable and pleasant.
The illiteracy commission of the
National Education A- ociatiou
states that more than 4,oU0,l)00 il
literates in the U. S. will vote in
the Presidential election in Novem
ber ami for members of Congress.
However illiterate a man may be,
if he is of age and paid his taxes,
his vote counts as much as the
most learned.
Crops will soon be layed by and
then work on the cemeteries can
begin. No cemetery in the county
needs attention more than the one
right here in LaFayette. l.aFayette
has good streets a lovely public
square splendid public buildings
and is installing a white way this
week. Do not neglect the cemetery
longer.
Elsewhere in this issue is the
list of county primary nominees to
whom we are pledged to vote in
the general election in November,
if we voted in the primary last
March.

JAMES MADDOX.
McADOO PLEDGES
ACTIVE SUPPORT
OF PARTY TICKET
Before sailing for Europe W. G.
McAdoo gave out the following state
ment:
“Mr. Davis and I have been friends
for the past twelve years and I had
the pleasure of discussing the political
situation with him yesterday. The
great body of progressive democrats j
who supported me so strongly in the j
convention have been anxious to know
my attitude towards Mr. Davis’ can
didacy. My visit was for the purpose
of learning from Mr. Davis his views
on the important issues before the
country. I am satisfied that he is in
accord with the progressive program
outlined in the democratic platform.
“Mr Davis’ professional connections
and his associations with great bank
ing houses and corporate interests, al
though considered ethical in every
way, have raised doubt in the minds
of many as to his progressivism and
as to his complete sympathy with the
great reforms of the Democratic par- |
ty must execute if it is to serve the j
genuine interests of the people.
No Judge of Vie_ws
“These doubts are not justified be
cause a lawyer’s views on economic,
political and social questions are no
more to be judged by his professional
associations than is a physicians to
be judged by the character of his pa
tients. Mr. Davis should be judged bv
his opinions, not those of his qlients, i
and by the impressions of sincerity j
and ability he creates in the public
discussion of the issues.
“Mr. Davis’ high character, integri
ty and service should satisfy any ap
prehension of this sort. I am confident
that as president he would faithfully
execute the party’s progressive man
date. If I did not believe this I could
no't render aid, because I have always
believed that the interests of the peo
ple should not be subordinated to a
merely slavish partisanship.
“There is deep-seated determination
on the part of the progressive forces
within the democratic party and those j
outside of it desiring to co-operate to I
force prompt and decisive action on
the part of the next administration !
for solution of the pressing problems
of agriculture, transportation, tariff,
taxation and foreign relations which j
have been so horriVy manhandled by j
Must Consolidate Forces
the republican administration.
“The influence and power of these
progressive forces -mist not be dissi
pated by division between variety po
litical movements; tney must rather
be consolidated and used like an ir
resistible battering >f that party
which offers the best instrumentality
for service to the people.
“Clearly there is no promise in the
republican party. Clearly there is
promise in the democratic party if
this progressive influence is wisely
and vigorously used within that polili
cal organization. The home of genuine
reforms and progress is more likely
to be realized at this time through the
democratic party than though any of
its opponents.
“I shall, therefore, give the Davis-
Bryan ticket my cordial support and
shall take part in the campaign on
my return in September.”
Mr McAdoo gave out the statement
as he sailed on the Homeric with his
wife and two daughters for a six j
weeks’ visit in France, Spain and Por-1
tuga!.
Among those who bade him fare-!
well was David L. Rockwell* who man- i
aged his national campaign. When i
recognized by persons on the pier and
aboard the liner, Mr. McAdoo smiled j
and doffed his hat.
