WithaIn Bankers Association
Meet at Warm Springs.

Atlanta, July g. Representative
bankers from five southern states
have been in attendance OIL the
Witham Bankers Association
meeting just closed at Warm
Springs.
The program was not confined
entirely to technical banking SUBJ
jects, but included an address ON
the boil weevil by State Entmolo-
gist Lee Worsham. The Hon.
Sligo Myers, President of the Nation
al Bank of Savannah. delivered an
interesting address on World
Peace.
The Witham system is not a
branch system of banking as each
bank has it's own charter, its own
capital it's own local board of direc-
tors its own officers, and is a Sepa-
rate and distinct institution. The
first Witham Bank had but $25, 900
capital and began business q
years ago. At present the banks
have paid capital of over ST.
100000 net profit in excess of
$8C0,0O0, deposits of over $10,OOO,-
600 and now have over $3,00O,OOO
available cash.
Banks are located in Georgia,
South Carolina Florida, New JeT-
sey and New York state.
The officers elected at Warm
Springs were as follows: President.
L. r. Farmer, cashier bank of Louis
vile; list vice president, Tom Per-
sons, president Peoples Bank Tai
bottom; End vice president, H. M.
Wealth, president bank of Adairs-
vile; Secretary and Treasurer.
W. E. Henslee, cashier Conner Bank
Conner. More than 1875 bankers
representing 100 banks were in

The First National Bank
Declares Dividend.

On June Both the Directors of the
First National Bank declared divi-
dend number sixteen, a quarterly
dividend of three per cent.
The First National has made a
great record as a dividend payer, at
the same time it has put a large
amount, into the surplus fund, there
by almost doubling the capital of
that banking institution.
The report of the officers of the
bank at the close of this half years
business shows a marked increase
over last years business, and the
First National is probably as pros
porous as at any time in its marvel
Gus history, which is as good as the
best i'll this rapidly developing Sec
ton of the country.
Ihe capital and surplus OF the
First National is now more than
Two Hundred Thousand Dollars,
and its total resources three-quarters
of a million.
The ambition of its officers is to
make it million dollar hank in the
next few months, and they are bend
ing every energy to accomplish that
end.
The management of the First Ma
tional is in the active charge of the

A Sane Fourth

So far as Fitzgerald is concerned
the Fourth was indeed sane and
sober.
One insignificant case in the
Mayors court yesterday morning
was the sum total of all the irregu<'
Iarities and indiscretions of the day
before.
We had a town full of visitors
and a good time was enjoyed by
everybody, but they managed to
keep sober.
