banking idea well in hand and within
the next two or three years what now
looks like a mushroom growth, will
prove to be a bulwark of financial in
stitutions backed by a paid up capital
that will be a credit 10 the race.
The encouraging feature of the Ne
gro as the organizer and promoter of
Negro banks, the one feature that
guarantees much for him in the flu
ture, is the small number of failures
noticeable among them, Not since
the disastrous failure of the Freed
mems Bank at Washington, d. c., has
there been a complete failing of one
of those organized and operated by
members of the ace. Indeed, it has
been often stated that not many de-
p~ositors have suffered from the failing
of a Negro bank in the United States.
Thus this first failure right in the
door of the nations capital has served
to strengthen the confidence as well
as to educate the Negro in the finan-
cial world.
Another reason for success in this
new and untried field is the co-opera-
tive plan upon which the banks are
organized and operated and the easy
terms upon which the stock is dis
posed of. For instance, in one city a
bank was opened and the stock was
placed upon the market at $1.00 per
share. Within the space of two
months 100000 O worth of stock had
been subscribed and paid in. On the
other hand, there are banks now in
operation by Negroes whose capital
stock is as high as $4,000 per share,
much Of the stock being disposed OF
at this fancy price. The concerns
are doing a very creditable business,
There is much that is unknown
about the origin of Negro banks. In
fact, few people would realize thai
as far back as 1882 there was a Negro
bank in existence in the United
States. The Dime Bank at Kinston
was organized and operated in the
state OF North Carolina in 1882. 1t is
said that this was thirteen years be
fore any white bank was operated il
the same city. After this proved tC
be a success, came the establishment
of the True Reformer's Bank of Rich
mond, Virginia, which comes seconC
and which is to-day regarded as the
leading bank among Negroes in the
United States in point of paid up cap
ital and surplus. The third in age
can truly be given to the Alabama
Penny Savings Bank, or Birmingham
Alabama. Thus it will be seen tina
the pioneer banking concern is TIL,
Dime Savings Bank at Kinston, H. E

Cashier, respectively; the next, TIL,

Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Tex
as and Oklahoma. 1t is impossible to
correctly state the total of the clear
of these Negro banks for the year
1909, but a conservative estimate
places it at $20,0O0,OOO. 90. Indeed. it
is with much difficulty that the capt
tai stock can even be learned as most
OF the concerns have acquired the
habit of non-communication.
In speaking of the cities that are
supporting two or more banks, it
would be unfair not to say that the
new state of Oklahoma presents one
and comes in for a goodly share of
recognition. In Boley, a distinctly
Negro town, will be found two thirty
ing banks, namely; The Farmers and
Merchants Bank and the Boley Bank
and Trust Company. There will also
be found two Negro banks in Vicks-
burg and Jackson Mississippi \two in
Memphis; two in Nashville, Tennes-
see; three in Jacksonville, Florida;
two in Newbern, two in Kingston,
North Carolina; and four in Rich
mond, Virginia.
The authorized capital stock of Ne
gro banks in the United States is
$4,000, 100000, which of itself rep
resents the growing confidence of the
people in these United States. In or
der that it might be seer just how
and where these are located / will
give them in their alphabetical or
der: Alabama, seven; Florida, four;
Georgia, six; Illinois, me-; Maryland.
one; Mississippi, eleven; North Caro-
lima, six; Oklahoma, three; Pennsyl
vania, one; Tennessee, four; Texas
four; Virginia, thirteen; South Caro-
lima, one. The estimated dividend
that would be declared annually Oh
this $4,000, 900, if as small a dividend
as 6 per cent was paid, would amount
to $120,000.0 90 annually. Great inter
est is being manifested in what the
banks are doing, one for the other
and especially what influence they
are welding in the several states, cit
les and communities, where they are
located. The prediction is made, anC
can be reasonably adhered to, that il

banks will be opened. Already there
has been sufficient information pick
ed up to point out fifteen that have
recently been organized. Most o
them have applied for charters. The
launching of these great enterprise
means that thousands of dollars from
scores of secret society organization
will be brought and deposited il
Negro banks. If this is done, i
would make the clearance over $50,
000,000.0 90 annually, instead of $40.

SUNSHINE NOTES.

The sunshine of our home was
greatly enhanced last week by the
presence of Misses Joanna Greenlee,
H. K. Patrick, M. j. Gibson and Sis
ter j. P. Moore. On Friday from .
to 5 p. m. there was a reunion of
former secretaries. Among the guest
were Prof. and Mrs. f. e. Dawson,
Mrs. Louella Battle and Miss M. j.
Mcintosh. From 8 p. m. to IL M. an
informal reception was given in their
honor. A large number of friends
and acquaintance were present and a
pleasant and profitable evening was
enjoyed by all. Sister Moore in her
usual impressive manner gave some
practical instructions which were 9
benediction to all present.
Misses Gibson, Patrick and Greenlee
left a few days after the reunion for
other points.
Miss Tayma Chez left Tuesday
night to accept a position at Knox
Vile,
Miss Constance Moore left Monday
for Centerville, where she will attend
a teachers institute.
Miss Grace Eaton, assistant to Sis
ter Moore, arrived in this city from
Chicago Tuesday and will spend some
time with us.

Penny Savings Bank, at Birmingham,
Ala, w. R. Pettiford, President. The
Oldest president of a Negro bank, in
point of service, is w. r. Pettiford,
who is serving his nineteenth
consecutive year as president of the
Alabama Penny Savings Bank, of
Birmingham, Alabama.
The forward movement has not
been confined to the men alone in this
banking epoch the race has now en-
tered upon, for women are becoming
potent factors as ~financiers. The
st. Luke Savings Bank, of Richmond,
Virginia, has as its president, Mrs.
Maggie Walker, who has proven by
her wise manipulations In the money
markets to be equal to any and every
emergency that should or could arise.
There is still another of the fair sex
to be reckoned with in the person OF
Miss Mabel q. Mollison, who is the
cashier and moving spirit in the Lin
coin Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, of Vicksburg, Mississippi.
There is another encouraging fea-
ture which lends a brighter future to
the outlook of these financial institu-
tions, that is, they weathered the fl
nancial storm of 1907 in such a way
as to reflect credit, not only upon
themselves, but upon the business
side of the city in which they we're
located. In looking up the Negro
banks it will be seen that the major
ity of them is confined to the South
or to the Southern states. Whether
this is ,caused by the fact that a vast
number of Negroes reside in the
South is not known; nevertheless it
is true, as only two banks are located
north of the Mason and Dixon line.
They are the Peoples Savings Bank
Of Philadelphia, Pa, and the Jesse
Binga Bank, of Chicago, Illinois. II
we were to look at a particular sec
ton Of the United States, we would
again state that there is not a great
number in existence west of the Mis-
sissippi River. The majority of then
will be found south of the Ohio anC
Potomac and east of the Mississippi
in that section of the United States
where, at least, two-thirds of the en-
tire Negro population Is to be found
Two states west of the Mississippi
namely, Oklahoma and Texas, are sup
porting banks. At one time Arkansas
was a factor, but both the banks onc'
operated in that state have suspended

its depositors. Only two states il

NEGRO BANKS
AND BANKERS
WHAT THE AMERICAN NEGRO

(By Henry A. Boyd in Christian Re-

What are the Negroes doing for the
race as bankers, is a question that
has been asked and one which | ven
ture to answer. When one stops to
consider the enormous amount of bus
mess transacted by Negroes of the
United States annually he would nat
urally suppose that the Negro had
gone into the banking industry in ear
nest, or at least, the array of banks
now in operation by members of the
race confirms this belief. | gave in
the February Is issue Of The Nash
vile Globe the most complete list of
banks, their location, the names of the
officers, and the capital stock of each
that has ever been given in print to
the public. This tabulated statement
of banks was conservative, because il
did not mention institutions that had
suspended operation nor did it men
ton those already organized and
chartered in various states that had

rapid growth of the Negro banks can
be attributed solely to the advance,
ment of the Negro along commercial
and business lines. His operation Of
large insurance concerns, mail order
houses, publishing plants, CONNER
cial organizations and other pursuits
of industry that support banks has
created a demand for them, hence il
is not hard to understand when
viewed in this way. In looking over
the vast number OF such institutions
under the direct control of the race
you will find that the majority Of
these banks is to be found in the
South. Virginia leads the Union witt
a fairly safe margin. There is an ex

Colored Metbodists Meet

Athens, November 16-(Special.) )-The eighteenth annual session of the North Alabama conference of the c. M. E. church in America convened in the col ored Methodist church here this morning at o'clock, Bishop G. w. Stewart of Birmingham, one of the newly elected bishops, presiding. There was large at tendance at the opening session of both preachers and laymen. Bishop Stewart is holding his first round of conferences and is giving general satisfaction. He is recognized as one of the ablest men in the denomination and seems to be de- termined to make his church stand for higher things His opening address to the conference was full of religious thought, sound advice and good sense. He is strong on the ministry being re- lig!ous, honest, true to the church and the high calling. The personnel of the preachers in attendance is far above the average gathering of colored men in per sonal and intellectual appearance, and shows that the negro is progressing. The conference will continue for four days. There are about 60 charges in this work, with four presiding elders.
