In addition to the surplus accumulated, IT,

The One Hundred Whitman
Banks Stand By The Farmer

This country, progressive and originals it is,
has not furnished business development more
successful and interesting or of greater practca-
value to the people and territory affected than the
Witham System of Banks
The Whitman Banks have been of incalculable
benefit to the rural districts of Georgia, and have
accomplished more in the way of substantial and
permanent Improvements than any other agency
ten times the amount of capital they employ.
They have created means for the concentration and
economical handling of scattered funds. OppOr
tnities for profitable Investment have encouraged
development and improvement and have placed the
country towns and communities on the same basis
as the populous cities for marshaling their capital
and developing their resources.
They have assisted in erecting school houses,
putting in water works and electric lights, have
Encouraged immigration, agriculture, and have
encouraged the building of brick stores instead of
wooden shacks; thus increasing the population,
building cotton warehouses. enabling the farmers
to hold their cotton for better prices, and many
other enterprises of profit and convenience.
1t is said in many instances six months after
Witham Bank is organized in small town the
prosperity increases in value over 80 per cent.
The farmer is the backbone yes, the mud-sill
of the prosperity of the Southern Commonwealth,
and it has been to HIM that these ONE HUMID
RED WITHAM BANKS have given PREFER
ENCE especially is this true during panics and
hard times Mr.. William S. Witham, the father
of the Witham Banks, went so far in order to pro-
tect the farmer to pledge his own private secur
tiles during panic for funds which he distributed
among the farmers to enable them to make their
crop, to the exclusion of other borrowers.
About twenty years ago the first Witham Bank
was organized at Jackson, Ca, with capital of i

Thursday the house of represent atives by a

amend the general tax act by putting an income

Speculative Politics.
The following bit of political gossip we find in

"a gentleman who has been over the third
Congressional district says that there is pretty
considerable talk of running Col Will Dodson of
Americas for Congress next time: this rather

be a hard man to beat.

connection; he is also strong man and would run

writing of Judge Griggs' contest with Judge Rod

''By al lmeans let him return to Washington

vocate it before the committee to which it will
be referred while his discussion of the measure
before the house itself will pack the galleries

Indeed it would be a treat for the gods and for
the devils imps to hear Jim Griggs advocate pro
hibition, the galleries would be packed to suffoca-
ton, but the breath of the> assembled hoodlums
would be Intoxicating instead of suffocating. We
would like to see the crowd that would pack the
galleries to hear Jim GSiggs talk prohibition.

tIOf course you cannot lose Mr. Jim Griggs
