Protection Does Not Protect

The deluded workmen for the steel
trust are between the devil and the deep
blue sea. They are supposed to he pre-
tected by the same Tariff that protects
the trusts, but as trust high prices and
the republican policy of protection has
produced u panic and consequently
business depression more than half of
the trust workmen have found them
selves unemployed so far this year. If
i'll order so induce buyers, the trust re-
duces the price of its products, it is pref
ty sure to reduce wages also, which
would be an acknowledgement that pro
lection does not protect the working
man. But idle workmen will surely
come to believe that the boosted repub-
ican prosperity is a fraud when they do
not participate.

Average Length of Life

The man who lives till he is more than

infancy are alike included in the law of
averages. They balance each others

AT 30 years of age, the average man
may take it that he has under 35 years
to live; at 40, under % years; at 80, I'M
der 81 years; at 60 under IA years.

lives will determine whether he will

that institution can be carried on
by this bank as q department just
the same as it is carried on at that
bank at present, and All annual
savings of 100000 in expenses
can be made by the uniting of the
two institutions.
Second. ], as, President of the
Home Savings Bank have always
had upon me the responsibility OF
making its loans and discounts,
and by uniting the two institu-
tions feel that | can better give
my attention to that important
feature of the banks business. /.
Third. Mr.. j. +. Turner who
has shown himself to be a well
equipped and valuable bank man,
Judging from the success he has
made of the Home Savings Bank j,
we need here and by bringing his
energies and ability into closer
touch with this institution, we
feel that the combined efforts of
this bank will bring better results
for the united institution than as
heretofore.
I will further suggest that in
the matter of tax there will be a
material saving, and the number
of banks in Fitzgerald will be de
creased to 4, it being obvious that
a town Of Fitzgeralds size is not
sufficient to creditably foster five
separate banking institution. \
In conclusion / would say that
l have very recently gone through
and inspected each and every as
set OF the Home Savings Bank
and | find them to be in mostiex-
cellent condition, and should my
suggestions be adopted can faith
fully say that it's business will be
q valuable addition to the resourc,

Another year has passed and we
find ourselves assembled in annual
meeting, for the purpose Of going
over the doings and events of this
period in our history. Seven and
one half years ago the Merchants
and Planters Bank, of which the
First national Bank is q successor,
opened it's doors for business and
during that y years our history
has been one of progress and
achievement.
Commencing with a capitaliza
ton of $50, 100000 in July of 1900
through a process of evolution, we
have come until now we have the
distinction of being one Of the
strongest and most progressive
country banks in Georgia.
Of the seven and one half years
of our business history none has
been more eventful and strange to
say more profitable than has 1907.
1907 will go down in the history
Of American Finance as year OF
most phenomenal events. Panics
may come and panics may go, but
the panic of 1907 for it's suddenCss
s~velity and brevity will be
always known as q Star- Performer.
At the. beginning Of 1907 the
Officers and Directors of this instl-
tuition felt that We were entering
upon year in which prudence
and conservatism should be a con
trolling factor in our policy. we
felt and knew that the business OF
the country was being conducted
upon such liberal and free scale
that an adjustment of some nature
hal to come and was due. We set
about to be prepared for that emer-
