ton was ]. J. Emery, we'll known citi
zen of Jacksonville, who is one OF
the pioneer representative of the
company, and the first man to intro.
duce the Sessions systematic saving
plan in Florida. Mr.. Emery inter
estingly related his early experiences
in introducing this plan of saving
and he stated that Florida was a
splendid field for implanting the prac-
tice of systematic savings, through
the medium of the Sessions accumu-
lative mortgage bonds.
Judge Sessions remarked, in the
course of an interview, that the rea-
son Florida land values have not in
creased in the ratio as lands in the
surrounding states was because the
farmers of the state have not been
able to get sufficient money to finance
themselves; that Northern capital was
somewhat shy of mortgage invest
ments in certain part of the state.
He said further that the impress
sion gained in the North that Florida
security was not as good as that in
other sections is being proved to be
erroneous, and the Sessions Loan and
Trust Company has entered this state
by state authority for the purpose
of making conservative loans at rea-
sonable rates of interest, in accord
ance with it's long established policy
in Georgia and other farming dis
tricts.
Judge Sessions also stated that all
money received from Florida in the
systematic bond savings plan would
be invested entirely in the state OF
Florida in mortgage loans, in addl-
ton to the funds received from insur-
ance companies and savings banks
in the North and East. The syste-
matte savings plan is in force IN
many parts of the country and the
proceeds are invested in farm and
city mortgages wholly in this sec
ton of the country.
This was Judge Sessions first visit
to Jacksonville in many years and he
was much surprised at the wonderful
progress made in the growth and de-
velopment of Jacksonville. He was
quite enthusiastic over the appear
ance of the city, the modern down
town buildings and especially with
the beauties of Riverside and the out
lying districts.
Mr.. Farley, one of the prominent
figures of the conference, has many
friends in Jacksonville, particularly
among bank officials, several of whom
are friends of his of many years
standing. Mr.. Farley was first pres
ident of the Alabama Bankers Asso-
citation and former president of the
Farley National Bank of Montgome-
nv. He spoke enthusiastically about
the evident signs of progress in Jack
sonville and it's growing Importance
as a seaport and big factor in the
commerce of the Southeast and the
commerce of the world. He eX-
pressed surprise at its great impor-
lance as a ship building center and
said that Jacksonville will grow to
be one of the biggest factors in the
economic life of the country.

APPEALS FOR SUPPORT

This is incorrect. The proposed build
ing would be a historic museum for
south Carolina, and its location, while
on grounds held by the University
trustees, would not in any way him
der it's use by the general public. 1t
would not be in theory or in fact,
merely a part of the University, but
both in theory and fact, a State me-
mortal. There also has been an effort
to have the type of memorial changed
toia hospital, but the soldiers, through
the American Legion have spoken de-
cidedly against this proposition.
We appeal to the various counties
that have not yet raised their quotas
to expedite the campaign. No COM
munity can have it said that when the
State was seeking to perpetuate the
memory of her noble sons and daugh-
ters, that it was Indifferent. A per-
