word of truth in il and that he could
state positively that Mayor Gaynor had

he had ever known Cummins or had ever
been in the offices of the Carnegie Trust

Mr. Hutchins also told the grand jury,

PLEASANT LANE NEWS.
Large Attendance at Gilgal
Sunday. Marriage of Mr..
Robert Logan and Miss
Leila Smith.

The writer has never witnessed
such throng of people as assem-
bled at dear old Gilgal church On
Sunday last. 1t seemed as if we
were attending an association or
convention instead Of protracted
meeting. We were glad indeed to
see so many faces we had not seen
in many years. Rev. P. P. Blalock
preached able sermons both morn
ing and afternoon which were great
ly enjoyed by all. Mr.. S. A. Brun-
son of Edgefeld, made splendid
talk in the afternoon telling of his
boyhood dsys-how he enjoyed go
ing to Gilgal to Sunday school, that
he was also converted at this church
which makes Gilgal near and dear
to his heart today.
Just before the preaching hour
Sunday morning, Miss Leila Smith,
of the Meeting Street section, and
Mr.. R. A. Logan of this place, were
happily married, the Rev. P. P.
Blalock officiating. A beautiful
march was played by Miss Helen
Strom as the young coupled tripped
gracefully up the isle. These
young people have many warm
friends who extend their heartiest
congratulations.

The Building and Loan Asso-
citation.
(Contributed)

In the more or less distant, but
we'll remembered past, Edgefeld
was extensively land grievously ex-
plotted by some foreign concerns
that operated more or less upon the
plan of the Building and Loan As
sociation, but which were in fact
swindling institutions. These were
the old Interstate and National As
sociations operated at Columbus,
Ga, Atlanta, Ca, Knoxville, Tenn,
and many other points. Who ever
got tangled up with one of these
institutions rarely got untangled
without serious loss. 1t transpires
that an institution organized on the
Building and Loan plan cannot
safely be administered over a wide
territory. 1t equally transpires that
a Building and Loan which confines
itself to the immediate neighbor-
hood of its headquarters, and what
might be called local building and
loan association, may be made as
safe and prosperous as the old Ma
tionsl concerns were unsafe and in
furious to the community. A local
Building and Loan Association
means one whose dictatorship is
wholly local, and one which loans
its money on real estate in the town
or township where everybody knows
the values. This sort of local organ
ization may we'll be called a home
institution, wholly controlled and
directed by home people. The mon
ey is loaned, and never away from
home. The promises are carried out,
or else the directors can't live in
town. These local, or home institu-
tions have been found to be easily
workable, are benefcent in their
operations, and infinitely advanta-
geous to the people. Most of the
buildings put up in the last eight or
ten years in Edgefeld have been
through the instrumentality of the
local Building and Loan associa-
tion.
