BANK OF LESLIE,

Local banks not only afford ac-
cOmmo0atlOns that outside institu-
lions could not possibly extend to
the average business man, about
whose responsibility the latter have
no means of familiariZing themselves,
but also foster and nOurish local en-
terprises, in the success of which out
side banks may not possibly have the
interest necessary to tide them over
many threatened crisis. Recog-
niZing the necessity for a safe, sound
and conservative financial institu-
ton, such as could safely serve the
interest of every worthy person or
enterprise with which the develop
ment of the Leslie section might be
or become affected, the people in
1902 organized the Bank of Leslie.
they at once entered into contract
with the National Bank of Com
merce, new York, which has a cap.
ital of $50, 900, 900, whereby every
cent deposited in the local bank
would be fully projected under the
terms of the contract specified in the
depositors' guarantee fund. This
guarantee, together with the we'll
known integrity and responsibility of
the men composing the board of di-
rectors inspired confidence at once
and the bank has made money from
the date of organization. Besides pay
ing quite creditable dividends annual
| ly, it has set aside a valuable surplus
and undivided profits. It's capital is
$4,000 paid in. 1t is in it's own
| building, a soIucture OF fine imported
pressed brick, and is equipped with
all moLern conveniences, the fixtures
being both costly and of the most
serviceaUIe design.
The officers of the institution are
as follows: E. l.. Wilson, president;
T. ]. Wade, vice-president; ]. L. AM
ason, cashier; Arthur Digby, assist
ant cashier. The directors include
| the above officers, with the exception
of the cashier and his assistant, and

men E. b. Wallace, J. F. Frazier,

LESLIE HARDWARE AND FURNI-
TURE COMPANY.

A town can i'll afford to do with
out hardware or furniture store.
Leslie has one of the most up-to-
date and best the writer ever saw
in a small town.
The line carried is of the very
finest quality and can only be COM
pared with the best grades of hard
ware and furniture quoted at higher
prices. 1t is from the best factories
IN this country, with a record for
turning out the best goods at the
lowest margin of profit, and hence,
Leslie can offer farmers the best
goods at the lowest cost. The stock
embraces everything in the furniture
line from a Accents dining chair up
to a $50 wardrobe; everything in the
hardware line from a 10-penny nail
up to saw mill. The company also
carries full line of collins, caskets,
burial ouLits, etc.
The company, of which Mr. T. J.
Wade is president, and Jno. o.
Suggs secretary and treasurer, is I'M
der the economical and successful
management of Mr.. Lucius Harvey,
one of the countys most prominent
and popular young business men
Since coming with the company as
it's manager he has won many friends
for himself anu lis store, which, al
though established only short while
ago, is now regarded as one of the
leading businesses of Leslie

GRIFFIN & WALLACE.

Cotton raising, which yields no re-
turns as turpentine or lumber by the
week or month, but boards up a
mans labor for nearly twelve months
and pays it out to him all in a lump
at the end of the year, makes it nee
essary for those engaged in this oc-
cupation to open longtime accounts
for supplies and pay their bills after
their crop has been harvested and
sold in the market 1t requires a
great deal of capital and expert bust
ness judgment, combined with good
common sense, which insures fair
treatment and honest methods to car
ry on the business of advancing this
class of our industrial people. A
firm who has made this feature of
merchandising a success in Leslie is
Griffin & Wallace, than whom no
business concern in Sumter county
stand higher for integrity, character
and liberaliUy. Their customers COM
prise a large number of the most
successful farmers in the eastern
portion of the county. 1t is con-
Quoted on a high but economical
plane, with ample capital to carry
on all its aims and purposes, which
embrace Service to the people at an
honest, legitimate profit Fair treat
ment to all is fully guaranteed
The firm deals in fertilizers, gem
eral merchandise and cotton. The
members also do a commission and
iobbing business, the growth of
which has been quite satisfactory
and most encouraging.

r, j. HOOKS.

Ii you want something good in the
grocery and fresh meat line hook on
to r. j. Hooks of Leslie You will
also find his stock of dry goods, no
lions, shoes and hats up-tO-date, and
modern in every respect, and the
cheapest for the money that you ever
bought. The reputation of Mr.
Hooks for reliability, fair and courte-
GUS treatment and for doing things
in the proper way and at the right
time, promptly, makes his store one
of the most popular and most pro-
gressive in Leslie. He is in every
respect thoroughly reliable and in
tensely practical, and will sell you
an article of the very best quality ev-
cry time you want it. His success
has been even better than his friends
and he himself anticipated, which
serves to demonstrate the character
of his methods and the quality of his
goods. While he never sells, if he
can help it, without some margin of
profit he anows no man to undersell
him or outbid for country produce
Thus in two ways he is the farmers
friend: he reduces the price of goods
they buy. and puts up the prices OF
goods they sell When in Leslie call
on him; he will be glad to see you.

MRS. j. I'll. WILLIAMS

The millinery and dress goods
store of Mrs. J. H. Williams of Leslie.
winch she established in 1902, is one
OF the leading businesses of that
thriving town.
Before Mrs. Williams opened her
store Americas sold nearly all the
millinery in Leslie, but the grade of
goods and class of work at her place
Tor less money (as good as the best
millinery stores anywhere turn out)
has given to her the entir. home
trade or almost all of it. Her sales
last year exceeded 1,5O0-pretty
good for town OF 1000 population
Mrs. Williams employs only the
best taIent in her dress and skirt de-
partment, and gives as good service
and style in hats as can be found in
Americas or Albany. The success
which she has already achieved is
well deserved, but the future must
have much more in store for bust
ness OF so much merit and enterprise.

and butter producing section in
America

to bear out the truth of this state
ment. In 1900 | bought a mixed
Jersey, medium size and weight,
that had never given over two gal
Ions of milk a day. The price paid
was $1,000. In six months time she
was giving over four gallons daily
and about eight pounds of butter
every week. The only food used was
meal and hulls. l sold her for $50.

What is needed to stimulate the
industry is a greater foreign market
for the product, advance in that di-
rectiOn being fought at every step
by the people of France, the olive
oil industry of that country having
suffered very greatly from the COM
petition which our mills have de-
velOped since the use of cotton seed
oil as a substitute has been accorded
such popular favor.
The farmers of the South and the
mills ought to recognize that the in
terest of the one is the interest of
the other and get together and plan
a great advertising campaign, either
through state or national supervis-
ion, for the promotion of the oil
trade. The defeat of the Brantley
BILL which had for it's object the ex-
tension of our foreign trade, es-
pecially cotton and cotton by-prod-
ucts through the appropriation of
$40, 200 by the national government
for that purpose, might be charged
up to the Indifference of our mill men
and our farmers in this important
matter-important because the very
life of high-priced seed rests entirely
upon the demand for their product,
not only in this country, but in
Europe and the Far East as well.
Does 1t Pay to Sell Seed?
There is possibly no other indus
try having an equal amount of cap
ital invested in which so little book
keeping is done as is the case in
farming. However, the value of fer
tiliZer tests and all other expert
mental work on the farm is largely
lost if accurate and complete records
are not kept of the condition and re-
suits of each experiment
Some farmers, usually those who
have made no experiments at all as
to the value of cotton seed as a fer
tilizer, make the mistake of using
their seed instead of selling them to
the mills and using instead the meal
made from them. This, nOtwith-

THE great business capacity of

PLAINS.

Sumter county can boast of no
more worthy child than Plains. Doc
lie, robust, up-to-date and progress
i've; not only self-sustaining, but able
to contribute large share in the de-
velopment of the whole county, she
deserves more than passing notice.
But space, which forbids, is a sort of
king here, and anyone interested will
more than likely be more impressed
with the town itself than anything,
the writer can say. Right now they
are putting in lights and water, have
a bank, two cotton ginneries and sew
eral modern, progressive mercantile
establishments. In 1904 the town
received over 10000 bales of cotton.
1t has several beautiful homes, a
good school and all the leading
churches. 1t is a goou place to live
in and a good place to thrive in.
None better in the state.
