The personnel of the large list of
stockholders, who come from
every walk of life, guarantees
success. For this reason the citi-
zens of Nashville have supported
the institution, bearing it up by
their patronage, leaving it, as it
were, in a class by itself among
other institutions, some that
have been in existence eight or
ten years longer than this one.
The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1911-12-15

There is an institution in
Nashville which lays claim
to having handled success
fully and very accurately
nearly one and a half million
dollars, belonging entirely to
members Of the race. The
story of the One-Cent Saw
ingS Bank makes interesting
reading matter. This bank
was established in Nashville
in face of the fact that scores
and scores Of people had de-
clared openly that a Negro
Bank for Nashville was a
matter of imposSibility. This
of course was idle gossip, for
when strong, conservative
business men, who had I'M
der discussion this contem-
plated organization, thought
of it, they were not counting
without their host. They
put their business eXper-
fences and years Of actual
contact together, and this
was the guaranty that the
venture would be a success.
The bank has continued to
thrive and there has not been
one year since the organi-
cation of the institution and
opening of it's doors but that
it has surpassed its previous
years in business. Aside from
this, the net earnings OF the
institution have been steady
and constantly increasing.
This institution has paid
in cash each year as high a
dividend as the law to the
State of Tennessee would
permit, that is a 6 per cent
annual dividend has been de-
clared in January OF each
year since 1905. In other
words, 80 per cent OF the
original capital stock sub
scribed and paid in by the
stockholders has been re-
turned to them, e. 6. the in
dividual, who took out one
share of stock to the amount
of $500 has been given in
actual cash $3.50 on stock,
and yet the $500 paid in is
worth S6.25.

thOrized when the charter was issued
was $25,OOO.00 divided into shares Of
$500 each. Close investigation re-
veals the fact that on its Board Of Di-
rectOrs and among its stockholders
appear the most cosmopolitan and rep
resentative men and women that could
be gotten together for the good Of the
people. The minister, the layman, the
professional man, labOrer, and artisan
in fact, every avOcatiOn among the peO-
pie Of the city of Nashville is represent
ted in the stockholders or on the Board
Of Directors of the institution. A
glance at the directorate will remove
any chance for an argument or doubt
along any lines.
The officers of the Institution have
individually succeeded, each having
splendid records Of achievements in
the business world. Both the presi-
dent and cashier stand out prominently
as two of the most noted Negro char
acters in the United States. The
president has built, aside from the
bank, the most mammoth, religious bus

by members Of the race, an institut-
ion backed up by constituency of two
and half million Negroes. The
cashier by his courage and thrift has
worked his way up into the political
arena until he was recognized by the
president of the United States and
hOnOred with the position Of Registrar
Of the United States Treasury. This
has put the stock Of the One-Cent Saw
ines Bank among the NEST coveted Of
any financial concern Of the race.
Notwithstanding this, the stockholders,
the Board Of Directors and the officials
stand with open arms and glad hands
to sell to those who desire stock or to
put their pennies into the savings de-
partment, or who desire to open az
counts with an institution whose checks
are recognized on two continents. The
bank will open an account with any
individual for as small an amount as
One-cent, hence its name the One Gent
Savings Bank. Money invested in
stock in this institution is a perpetual
income to you and your pOsterity.

been under civilized rule, but in re-
cent times no more interesting char
acter has appeared than Tsi An, who
has been called Bismarck in pet
ticoats." For many years before Tsi
An died ip 1908, she was virtual ruler
of China.
Pu-Yi would not be emperor of
China if he had not been chosen by
Isl An. This woman is an example
of the possibilities in the political
system in that land. When Hen Feng
assembled the throne in 1851 Isl An
was one of his concubines of the fifth
class. The real empress had no son,
and when Tsi An gave birth to son
in 1856 she was raised to the rank
of empress. Hen Feng died in 1861.
Isl An practically ruled until her
death, although there had been nom
inal emperors-Tung Chi and Kwang
Su. The last named died almost at
the same time as Isl An. He was
childless and Isl An is said to have
chosen his infant nephew, Pu-4l, as
his successor. Prince Chun, father OF
the baby, was appointed regent.
Prince Chun is twenty-nine years DID,
and has exercised much influence at
court since he was sent on mission
to Germany in 1901.
When Pu-Yi was proclaimed en-
peror he was declared the adopted
son of the emperor, Tung Chi in or
der to maintain an imperial tradition
that had been violated by Isl An
when the late emperor came to the
throne.
