RURAL CREDITS
EDITORIAL IN KEowEE COURIER.

THE Courier is glad to note that the
- citizens of the Oakway section of
Oconee have taken hold Of the National
Rural Credits association work in earnest
and with success. These citizens are
going to get in line for the securing of
funds at low rates of interest and for
long terms, and they want The citizens
of other sections of the county to be in
line with them and to have the same
advantages that they will have. For
this purpose meeting has been called
for next Saturday at Oakway at o'clock
p. m The call will be found elsewhere
in this issue. :,
Recently the Oconee branch, National
Rural Credits association, was organ
lied at Oakway, with $50, 900 capital
pledged, and in very short while after
the meeting $50, 900 additional was sub
scribed, with additional capital to come
forward If needed. This shows interest
and it shows confidence. But confidence
is not an essential feature in this finan-
cial undertaking, for the government of
the United States is back of the great
new plan, known as the national rural
credits law, and there is no man foolish
enough to be lacking in confidence in
in our government or in the success OF
any financial efforts that our govern.
ment may make. All that is needed is
an understanding of the great new sys
tenn of financing agricultural landowners
at low interest rates and for long loar
periods, with the lands of the borrowe,
or purchaser pledged as security for the
loan.
The Oconee branch has elected officer,
as follows: President, Henry l.. Werner
