BANK AND COTTON FACTORY.
Interesting Speech Before the
Ceorgia Bankers.
During the session of the late
bankers’ convent’ •• at Warm
(Springs, an addr> was delivered
’.■ y Vice President H. H. Walker, of
the Bank of Monroe.
The address, which follows, will
be found to be replete with sugges¬
tions n.dl worthy of attention.
Corning from a man who is himself
engaged in the various lines of busi¬
ness of which he speaks, it has the
benefit of personal experience;
“There are in almost every town
in Uearjfia merchants who fmne and
fret every time a new merchant lo¬
cates in their town; doctors who
criticise and slander the new pill-
roller fresh from the medical college
with his new crisp diploma, pre¬
pared, as he thinks, to heal all the
diseases to which humanity is sub¬
ject; lawyers who pounce upon the
new limb of the law, and in a sneer¬
ing manner advertise his mistakes in
his first eases and predict his failure
in places likely to do him harm;
hankers w ho groan in disgust every
time they see that Mr. Witbam has
opened a new bank. There arc cot¬
ton mill men in this state now roll¬
ing in anguish, fretting their lives
away because they see now and then
a new cotton mill projected in some
Georgia town, and, if by chance
they are appealed to for advice by
those intending to build a mill they
tell the parties to keep their money
out of cotton mills, that there are
already too many in the country,
that those now running do not pay
and often-times they defeat the
building of the mill.
“I am thankful that I do not be¬
long to this class of croakers. I am
one of those who believe every bale
of cotton produced in Georgia should
be spun in Georgia. There is no
such thing as too many mills in
Georgia, or in the south, so long as
a single bale of cotton is shipped to
New England or across the water.
I am tired seeing our farmers sell
their cotton for $25 per bale to for¬
eign manufacturers and buy it back
in its manufactured state at from $00
to $75, the difference between the
price received and the price paid
having gone to pay freight, to en¬
rich foreign manufacturers and to
feed and clothe the poor of other
countries, while our worthy poor
people are left to spend their lives
in misery and want. A noble old
Georgian who has made a large for¬
tune by manufacturing cotton said a
few days ago as several hundred of
his operatives we passing out of his
mill: ‘I enjoy feeding and clothing
these poor people more than I enjoy
all the money I have made.’
“If by what I shall say here today
I can arouse one dead, sleepy town
to action; if I can cause one honest
Georgia widow, with her helpless
children to leave the cotton field
where they are not making their ex¬
penses and move to a new cotton
mill to be built in her country town
—to move from the old dilapidated
cabin in the country to the new
white cottage in the mill village near
by, where they will make more clear
money in one month than they made
in twelve months on the cotton farm
I will be delighted, and will wel¬
come the slurs and abuse of those
narrow-minded men, who, because
they own a few shares in some cot¬
ton mill, or peril a] is hold an office in
one, will shower upon my head their
harshest epithets.
“I am almost prepared to say
wherever there is a bank in a Geor¬
gia town and no cotton mill the
bank has not done its duty. I will
say most emphatically the bank has
neglected a most important oppor¬
tunity of increasing i.ts own business
and the business of every individual
in the community from the largest
merchant to the most insignificant
washerwoman or woodehopper.
“For the truth of this assertion
I have but to refer you to my own
town Monroe, to Harmony "Grove,
to Jackson, to Toecoa and to Elber-
ton, in each of which places pros¬
perous, dividend-paying eotton mills
have been built under the supervis¬
ion of the officers of the local bank
and are uow being operated most
successfully to the great good of the
banks and for the benefit of every
man, woman and child in those towns.
l>o not understand me to say that
tlte banks are iri partnership with the
mill. This is not true and would
not. be advisable. Hut the mills are
under the fostering earn of the hanks,
an officer of the bank being an offi-
cer of the mill.
“The mills need money to buy
their supply of cotton in the fall
and winter, just w hen the banks are
full of money. They use the bank’s
money from, say November till May,
and pay it back in time for the farm¬
ers to use it in making their crops.
The cotton is fully insured and is
held and owned by the bank, and is
paid for before it is spun by the
mill. It is stored right at home,
not all in one large warehouse, sub¬
ject to one tire, but to several ware¬
houses holding from one to three
hundred bales, and perhaps in sheds
on the mill yards, under the protec¬
tion of excellent w aterworks. There
is no better paper or better collater¬
al. There is not a banker within
my bearing who has in bis vault a
better paper than the note of either
of the cotton mills I have mentioned
with a warehouse receipt attached
to it. A country bank wjth a cot¬
ton mill under its care need never
have an idle dollar. Not so with a
bank without a mill in its vicinity;
it sends its money in October and
November to its city depository,
where it remains without interest
till the spring of the year.
“Another great advantage to a
country bank in having a cotton mill
in its care is the fact that the stock
owned by the citizens of the town or
by farmers near by affords such ex¬
cellent collateral upon which to lend
money. Cotton mill stock worth
par on the market is as good collat¬
eral as a government bond. If there
is in Georgia a village cotton mill
which is under proper management
and which has been kept up-to-date
in all modern improvements, whose
t
stock is not worth par, I do not
know it. Not so, however, with
some of the mills in cities, where
high salaries, high taxes, labor un¬
ions and tramp labor have ruined
their profits. When these advan¬
tages which the villages have over
the cities in the manufacture of cot-
ton become fully known and appre¬
ciated, the new mills will all he lo¬
cated in the villages, and the coun¬
try banks will prosper as never be¬
fore.
“But it is in the construction of
the mill that the banker can do most
good for his community, aud at the
same time reap a rich harvest for
himself. What can be better for a
country bank, with one of its officers
president of an incipient cotton mill,
than to have in its assets several
thousand dollars of subscription
notes for stock in the mill upon
which one-half or one-third of the
amount has been paid? IIow nobly
the bank can assist the struggling
mill by advancing the eash or solv¬
ent subscription notes. With the
aid of the local bank a mill can be
easily built in many a Georgia town,
when, without such aid, a mill will
be an impossibility.
- “To those present who are inter¬
ested in upholding their tbwns, I
will say select the very best man in
your community and authorize him
to say to your people that the bank
will advance the money at a low rate
of interest on their subscription
notes to a mill after one-third has
been paid. You will be surprised
to see how nobly they will respond.
“Not many weeks ago a banker in
a Georgia town suddenly awoke to
the fact that the manufacturing
towns around him were outstripping
his town, and he determined to build
a cotton mill. He appealed in vain
to the only wealthy man in the town
to subscribe. After exhausting ev¬
ery argument and failing to move
him to action, he finally proposed
that they go to Monroe to see the
new mill. They came; the doubting
Thomas was convinced; he sub¬
scribed $15,000 to the new mill;
others followed in quick succession,
the amount needed was soon raised,
the mill is now organized, and the
man referred to is now its enthusi¬
astic vice president. If you find
such a character in your town, try
that remedy on him.
“If you are charitably inclined
and would mingle philanthropy with
your business investments how bet¬
ter could you act than by gathering
several hundred of the worthy poor
•of your county into a new cotton
lion of cotton, why not show you,
fulfil by your works, and take, from
the fields several hundred
mil put them in manufacturing in-
stead of producing cotton?
< t A cotton mill with 100 hands
will spin 1,000 bales cotton annually,
worth at present prices $25,000 in
its raw state, and say $50,000 when
it is spun. This force will consist
of, say, fifteen men, twenty-five wo¬
men and sixty children. In the
fields this force will not produce
more than 300 bales cotton worth
$7,500, while in the mill the value
of their labor will amount pi $25,-
000 . This is why New England is
rich and the south is poor. Will
you not think of this and aet? Do
not hesitate because coal is high and
you have no convenient water power.
Georgia pine wood at $1.25 per cord
beats coal at $2 per ton. With the
new improvements for economical
fuel, a steam plant on a railroad is
better than a water power four or
five miles from a shipping point.
“All throughout the Piedmont re¬
gion of theCarolinaathelmm of the
spindle and the smoke ©f the fur¬
nace is heard and seen on almost ev¬
ery hilltop, but after crossing the
Savannah river into our own .state
the noise of the cotton mill is no
longer heard, but in its stead the
stillness of death prevails. The
wave of industrial prosperity which
has caused the Carolinas to reach far
ahead of Georgia has passed over
Georgia and is now finding a hearty
welcome in the state of Alabama.
“1 will not say the bankers of
Georgia are to blame for this state
of affairs, but I will say that it is
within your power to change it if
you would. Will you not try?”
Brave Men Fall
Victims to stomach, liver and kid¬
ney troubles as well as women, aind
all feel the results iu loss of appe¬
tite, poisons in the blood, backache,
nervousness, headache and tired,
listless, run-down feeling. But
there’s no need to feel like that.
Listen to J. AV. Gardner, Idaville,
Ind. He says: “Electric Bitters
are just the thing for a man when
he is all run down, and. don’t care
whether he lives or dies. It did
more to give me new strength and
good appetite than anything I could
take. I can now eat anything and
have a new lease on life.” Only 50

teed.
The Blakely Reporter stabs the
loafers’ club in Blakely in this
unique way; “This scribe often
hears the fathers of to-day telling
of the valuable lessons learned when
hoys while on the farm, etc., and
we are constrained to wonder what
sort of stories their grandchildren
will hoar related by their fathers.
Perhaps they will hear their fathers
try to enumerate the number of
consecutive days they spent idling
on the streets of Blakely.”
