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 cents, at Dr. G. H. Macon & Oo.’s Drug Store.

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.” OCILLA LODGE NO. 374 F. & A. M.
