The South is the fastest growing soction of the United States today. Its cities, its factories, the pro- due's of its farms.Hs telephone lines, is schools, its bank deposits. Its rai roads, its water power and good roads are aU booming. The word "boom" has been asso- cated lor thirty with the West; dur ing tie next twenty years the South will discount every Western bonanza. I. starts wi h a civilization that the West had to build up through pri vation and hard work; it has coal and iron, one half of United States regaining timber; twenty-three thousand miles out of a totajof twen ty-six thousand miles of navigable streams in the United States; a prac tical monopoly in the production of cotton; a soil as rich as the Wests and much more aanshine in the course of a year. lis comfort and cul ture may be a handicap in its devel opment; enthusiasm and energy rare ly thrive in too much contentment. That condition, in itself, however shows the South to have a good deal of money to start with while prac tically every dollar that made the West was borrowed from Eastern banks at rates ranging from eight to twenty per cent, on first mort gages. Edgecombe County will more than double the revenue from its lands as soon as modern methods and ma chinery develop its full production. It landowners will then have money Idit Western coun iea had to send back East the first frui s of their labors in repaying at usurious rates the money borrowed from Eastern Banks. Every banking trick known to the Eastern loan shark was tried on the Western farmer as soon as he began to make money. To such murderous extant did. fake loan and banking in stigations ply their schemes to get his money that for years afterward no Eastern ' banker's private car on its way to California summer resorts ever dared a op a minute in Kansas. The New York Morning Telegraph. of January 30th, 1910, announced the arrival of the convicted Bank Presi dent, John R. Walsh, in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. Walsh operated in the West. He founded a National Bank, next secured control of an Equitable Trust Company and then of a Home Savings Bank. He bought bonds In his other corpora tions with his Bank's deposits and thereby became owner of mines.

NATHAN WILLIAMS, Tonsorlal Artist and Hirsult Dec orator, Tarboro, N. C Two doors from Bank of Tarboro, South, pe haps in Edgecombe, in time to reap the harvest offered when the Southron, development gets into full swing and fanners have the big money that new methods of fann ing will produce. The only difference in the methods employed will be tha' the chain of Southren banks organized will not be in one town but in several towns near together. It Is an easy matter for one man to take $8,000 cash and organize an endless chain of "fully-pald-ln-oapital $15,000" banks all under his control in any series of small towns in any corporations and their use in protect ing him from personal liability, be gins by in-eivstlng one or two bust s' as men of "Town Number One" la a proposed bank ia the town. Tbe "Town X .miber One Banking Compaa is organised: $13,000 is actually paid In; $8 000 by the organizer and $7.- 00 j by the local business men: he has control, a elected President and the busness men whose names will dram deposits, are elee'ed D .rectors. The mm inc me kt is made in glowing co' ors, th-e organisation, the pron.i n ot officals, the good to the farm Ing com nuni y, and a $13,000 pa!d In cj.pitl. In 'Town Nurobpr One, a' first, hs annou-.cement is setali.' true: K is a good sound business proj oal'ion and as su h'nduces the neigh bo ing farmers to make deposits. Whn these deposits amount to $15,000, or more the organiser pro ceeds to "Town x Number Two." tan mHea away, and incorporates the Town Number Two Banking Com pany," capl al $15,000. When ready to issue the stck. his voting con trol in "Bank Nombr One," votes to loan him or Ills dummies $15,000. of its d ps'ts; the organiser givs to his "Bank Number One." ss se curity for his loan his Jl'.OoO csrttf- l ates of stock In his "Bank Number Two" and pays for the certificates wi h his loan from his "Bank Number 0:e, ' the issue of certificates and the loan bing made at same time Bank Number Two then trmoancea la oranzatons; Is "paid-.n" capi tal $15,000; its election of the or ganizcr as President and, as direc tors, one or two local business men, whose names will attract deposits. He may give or sell them s llt'le stock, bat he always retains control. Con trol is necessary in his scheme Neighboring farmers deposit in "Bank Number Two." From tkese deposits BasHs m his "Bank Number Two" he rotes to Inoahimeelf or his dummies sufficient t organise in the sasa manner "Tke tows Number Three Banking Company- In Town Number Three,' ten miles away. He re- pea's the process in every town w 1th- a radius of ten or twenty miles Just as soon as the deposits in the ones last organized amount to e- nough to be borrowed by him and an o her "banking company is or ganized Immediately. Ton may think the scheme crazy but this chain of $15,000, banks ("paid in" Is never left out of the advertisements) can be extended indefinitely as long as the neighboring farmers furnish to the several links of the chain suf ficient deposits to enable the Presi dent of the whole chain to order to the part iuair link being examined by the State Bank Examiner suffic ient funds from the other links to tisfy the Examiner. After examina tion the funds are ordered to the next link examined. That original $15,000 in "Bank Number One" and the deposits in each of the banks con trolled by the President of them all continuously travel the entire circuit; not a bank in the chain is solvent. If the Bank Examiner ex amined all the banks at the same time and held that original capital under the shell Number One where it properly belongs. It is a shell game pure and simple. but it has bees worked by somebody on almost all of the new and the ski development sections throughout the country. A run on one of the banks, or the private operations of the President, or a thorough exsmtna Uon by Bank Examiners, has to variably caused the crash of one of the banks. When one failed every bank In the chain under same man agament went down with It, They were bound to do so; a chain is ss strong as its weakest link. There are banks also in many sec tlons which compete for deposits by offering interest on s 'and log bal ances. When the real development in Elgecombe grows hot this lure will undoubtedly be offered in Edgecombe also. Some reliable and conservative banking companies can pay a small rate of interest of three per cent.. seldom more, and by Judicious handi ng of deposits make a greater revenue for their institutions. But s depositor cannot experiment with banks that are known by him to bs conservatively managed by people that he knows and whose business records he knows. The American Bankers Association advises that the personnel of s bank s directorate be first studied by a de positor and that in banks ss in al o her matters duration of exist sues Is to best test of stability. There are in every community established banks, whose long record vouches for the safety of i's deposits. The entire business of each year is examined at one time by the State Bank Examiner, whose duty it is by law to regulate and control the bank's business and to protect the public. Tbe Examiner mus- report s bank as sound, if hs finds it sound, and unsound the min ute he finds it unsound. Those banks that have long stood this test are the safest in any com munity, new or old.
