The stockholders of the Erwin Cotton Mills at Durham have increas ed the capital stock from one half million to three million dollars. This is now the largest capital stock owned by any mill in the South. North Carolina not only has the larg est mills, but has more plants than any State in the South. We direct the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Ox ford Seminary in another column. It Is one of the best conducted schools in the State, and Its faculty ranks among the best. President Hobgood is so widely known as an educator in North Carolina he certainly needs no recommendation at our bands. I Parents and guardians would do i well to write to Prof. Hobgood and I enter their daughters or wards for j the coming term. A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION. Splendid Showing Made by First National Bank Duty of the People. It Is always a pleasure to the edi tor to note the prosperity of an in stitution in Oxford or the county, and hence It refers to the rapid pro gress the First National Bank of Ox ford has made since Its establishment under the presidency of Mr. R. W. Lassiter. On the 16th of J uly the Board of Directors of the bank held their sec ond annual meeting in the office in the rear of the bank and from what the editor can learn It was an enthu siastic and harmonious one. From the report of Mr. W. H. Hunt, the af fable cashier, it was seen that the profits of th uti.uK iuf ine past six months had been about $2,250, and instead of paying out a dividend the directors unanimously decided to place this amount with the surplus ! fund. This surplus fund is now $6,- j 250, or 25 per cent, of the capital stock j of the bank. This Is what we call a remarkable showing for a bank about two years old, and speaks volumes for ihe effi- j clent management of this young but j growing institution, it has been the j policy of this bank from its inception to build up a strong institution that would command the fullest confi dence of a generous public, and with this end In view it never declared a dividend for the benefit of its stock holders, but every dollar that tne bank has earned has been carried to the surplus fund for the protection of its depositors. From its establish men t this bank has been paying 4 per cent, on time deposits, and has given every con venience to our business men and the people consistent with safe bank ing and is an Institution which has done much for the upbuilding of Ox- ford and Granville county. This j bank is well manned. Its President, ; Mr. R. W. Lassiter, i an Ideal busi ness man safe, resourceful and ag gressive. The Cashier. Mr. W. II. Hunt, Is an old bank man, very ca pable, and has the entire confidence of our people. Mr. S. W. Minor, Tel ler, is a popular and successful busi ness man and has a host of friends, and the Collector, Mr. I. E. Harris, is a polite young gentleman. To gether they make a strong financial team. And we would henj urge upon our people the importance of supporting our banks. They are very necessary and very helpful Institutions when properly conducted, and with the ex cellent facilities they offer there Is no reason why capital should remain idle. This is unwise and unbusiness like. It Is gradually killing the goose which ought t j lay the golden egg. In almost every community there is more money than people are aware of. By hoarding it money does neither the community or its owner any good. A good deal of money in this section is uselessly kept locked up. Let our people "shuck out" this money from their safes, trunks, bu reaus and old stockings and put it to work in our own excellent banks. This custom is not right from an economic standpoint. It is not right from a moral standpoint. We should be more public-spirited. It is both unsafe and unprogressive. Every man owes it to his community to put his money in circulation when he can do so with profit to himself. No man has the right to draw himself up in his shell and feed off of the com munity and give out nothing. Such a man is a mere "bump" on society, so to speak. "No man llveth to him self and no man dleth to himself." This holds true in business, in soci etv.in religion and In everything per taining to life. . i i . .11 friends & grangers.
