"OPPOSiNG FORCES"

The all wise Power VINO credIeu IAo
universe and projected its varied &C.
tiyities into being, established certain
laws for the government OF the wnole.
In their last analysis, these laws may
be defined, as. that intimate ana IN
variable connection which exists be-
tween natural causes and effects.
A knowledge of these wonderful
laws man has acquired, from time to
time, by observing the effects OF the
forces of nature. In other words, from
a study of natural phenomena.
Philosophers have long ago demon
strated to a mathematical certainty
that everything created, from the TIN
lest atom to the larges.. of the heaven"
" bodies is eternally in motion; that
this motion is always performed with
in or along certain paths or limits
called orbits" and that since time
began every sun, planet and star, mas
moved along it's respective orbit with
unceasing regularity.
The idea of cause and effect inherent
in every human mind, and to which
we give the name of 'causation,' con-
strained men to inquire into the
causes by which this increasing reg
ularity' of motion was produced and
maintained In other words, what
~ 10 ich 10 that
were back of the phenomena? How
are the suns, planets and stars, etern-
ally kept within their proper orbits?
The question has long ago been
answered by scientific men. 1t Is
through the operation of Opposing
forces" to which the schools have
given such names, as, attraction, re-
pulsion, gravitation, centrifugal and
centripital forces, etc.
Were it not for the directing, regu'
lating and restraining power OF these
forces working in harmony, chaos
would obtain in the universe, suns,
planets and stars would run riot, and
not stay in their orbits a moment OF
time-disasters inconceivable would be
universal.
Observation, experience and indeed
the very instincts of our nature, teach
us that everything that is, has it's orbit
or sphere of activity, and that man
himself is no exception to the rule, and
that the principle of 'opposing forces"
Through the names of these forces
are different as to him) is as applica-
BILE to man as to the material universe
The visionary folks who contend that
there is no evil only in the seeming"
ought to be consistent enough to rele-
gate to the "seeming' the adjective
good" instead Of illogically exalting
it into a god We use the small e."
But, we must not degrees, as we
have in mind lessons of a more prac-
tical nature, to be drawn from this
universal law of opposing forces"
in it's applicability to individuals and
nations, and more particularly to cer-
tain Of the present political phases of
our own nation. Naturally we must
begin at the head of the government.

marks, viz. The vital and inseparahls
connection between tho needle and the
bayonet and the respective parts which
they play in the great drama of war. In
noticing this interesting, but not very
profoundly exciting relationship. we have
few words TO say about the services
which have been rendered by tho noble
army of southern women who have. sine.
the commencement Of hostilities, contrib
uted by their patriotic and indefatigabls
labors TO the work of clothing our troops
Never was a country in its hours OF
trouble and peril more Indebted to the
energies OF lts daughters than ours has
been In this dark and terrible struggle
Never did female industry and self-sac-
rihce merit higher admiration and an
probation than in the present case The
needle In. their hands has been incessant-
~ employed in promoting In its way tho
bodily comfort of thSsoldler-and without
this devotion Of theirs to our sacred
cause, what would have been the condl-
ton Of he army? Would II have been
able to meet the invaders of our soil as
1t has done and win the glory 1t has COW
cred Itself with but for the needlework
which has been turned out by the ladies'
aid associations and the thousands of in
dividuals Of the sex besides, who have
toiled by day and by night In making
How many of the latter would have
peiished or been disabled for service by
the piercing blasts and the numbing
troats and SHOWS of winter II the women
had not interposed as they iove done for
their protection and rellcf? How many
bnyonets would have beol useless but

south, then. do the government and army
owe debt of gratitude that can never be
forgotten. II Is only to express briefly
and impcrfectly oar sense Of the ines
timable value of their contributions to
the cause Of southern Independence in the
assistance they have voluntarily and
freely rendered to our arms that we
write this article. In the history OF the
war none Of its pages will be brighter

laurels as green and as unfading as any

PEOPLES BANK AND TRUST CO.,
Selma, Ala, Copied From Feb. No. Of
The Southern Banker, Atlanta, Ga.

There is a/human attraction and fas-
cination about the growth of a CONNER
cial enterprise, and particularly when 1t
is financial one which appeals to all
classes and conditions of men.
The Peoples being the only savings
bank in the city. 1t may be considered,
more than anything else, a true baro-
meter of the prosperity of this commun-
ity. 1t reflects the prosperity of the In
dividuals as we'll as the business enter
prises. On the opening day, August 6,
1902, its books showed resources of s25,-
000 On December 81, 1902, a different
story was told in the change of figures
to s5l,S67. which is more than double the
original amount. And SO tho increase has
been continuous, as indicated In the fol-
lowing figures: Resources, June 80, 1903,
s110,19S; January II, 1904, first call from
state treasurer, s19s,955; March 20, 1905,
s212,Sos! October Z, 1906. s2Ss,S5e; October
13, 1906, 1904, 713. This is growth which
comes of enterprise, energy and earnest
effort. The abiding faith in the re-
sources of the Black Belt, of which Sci.
ma Is the center, and the absolute conf
dence felt by the stockholders that such
bank would meet public need has
been verified by the results shown in
the figures above. During the four years
| increased three times to meet the ever
increasing business offered. From $500
capital, originally invested, 1t has grown
/ 10 100000 and the stockholders are pre-
pared to increase the capital stock still
further when the needs of the business
/ demand 1t. Plans are being made for the
remodeling of their three-story building
! at the corner of Broad and Water streets,
and it is their purpose to spare no ex-
pense in fitting up Its new quarters with
| every modern convenience.
C. NJ Howard, president, Is business
| man of tried and proven ability. Prior to
| the organization of this bank he was for
many years president of a successful
. hardware company and largely interested
in other local enterprises, all of which
were successful. To the perfect conf
dence he enjoys throughout the business
, world his well-known energy and abll-
ity and his untiring efforts In all he I'M
dertakes Is largely due the phenomenal
| success of this institution.
The other officers are 8. A. Fowlkes, ].
/ H. Rogers, vice presidents, and Fl. A.
Vaughan, assistant cashier. At the stock
| holders meeting held in January the
number of directors was increased from
| six to nine and the following young bust
! ness men of Selma now compose the d.
| rectorate: Richard X. Coe, M. j. Elkan
| S, A. Fowlkes. c. NJ. Howard, A. l.. Nc
! f.eod Chas. A. Patterson, Albert Thai
| heimer, ]. II. Rogers. ]. e. Wilkinson.
! On December 81 1906, this bank had total
resources of s315,1l.
