I ?The Stock Lookii i Tbe stockholders of the Abbeville Warea bouse met last Tuesday. Tnis meeting was a * Utile out or tbe ordinary and was 01 more tbao usual Interest. ' Tbe company needed money with wblcb to e pay the balance due on tbe puichaseof tbe 9 plant,and It was determined to Issue stock 8 for the needed amount, some 83,000. Calls ' were made for takers of additional shares, 8 when something like 82 800 worth ol slock was subscribed. This oQer was restricted to those who were already shareholders. If, however, the remainder of the necessary mock is not sold and tbe money Is not paid i bv the first or Juiy the uuso.'d shares win be ' offered 10 anybody wbo may wish to buy. 1 Tbe profits are presumed to be laige, and ' tbe stocfe is regarded as first class. Tola, too, uoder tbe exorbitant Insurance rates wblcb f were d? maud ed for tbe las' reason, namely : * $1.40 Under this rule some $1,800 was paid for J insurance. 1 When the vote was called for on tbe subject ' of selling tbe warehouse, the sentiment was unanimously opposed to tbe proposition. J Not a single stockholder favored the sale. r And so, right or wrong, sink or swim, make ' or break, tbe Farmers W arebouse will remain ' tu the bauds o( tbe farmers, and be lu tact, as 1 well as In name, a Farmer's Warehouse, for tbe benefit of all farmers, and especially for the bent fit of tbose who bold stock In It. Tbe exciting time came at the reorgan' lsauon. Mr. J. Allen Bmltb said tbat ' tbe president and the treasurer were > good men and to them personally no disrespect or Ill-will was meant, but tbey lived in tbe country, too far from tbe place of bual1 uess, and tbelr absence from tbe place of business was incompatible wltb tbe best dls- , charge of tbe active and responsible duties devolving on these officers. After some ! wrangling and when some of tbe stockholders uad gotten a little hot iu the collar, all tbe of- . ! fleers were oalled upon to resign, wblcb re1 quest was promptly oomplled with. Then somebody suggested tbat tbe directors might also resign. One of the board Immediately offered bis resignation, and all the others, as 1 last as they could come to their ftet and .peak, offered their resignation. *_ " ? ??K wwj I n Vi As-t try !

J At Ibis point tbe warehouse stockholders bad neither officers nor directors. NEW OFFICERS. I When an election was gone Into for mem- 1 bers of the board ol directors, tbe following was tbe result: Directors?sj. A. Allen, A. F. Calvert, R. E. Cox, W. R. Ellis, J. A. Gilliam, W. E.

At tbe meeting of tbe board of dlreoior* wblcb was held Immediately after tbe ad Journment of tbe stockholders meeting, tbe eleotlon of officers took place. Mr. Cox wan nominated tor president. He replied by stating that tbe dutle? of president were Buch tbat be could not undertake tbeir dlsobarge without some compensation, fie would not accept tbe office for a lees fee than $200 a year. Mr. Vlsanska thought tbe president ought to have not le68 than 81,500. Tbe Abbeville Warehouse Company waB uo "Cheap John" affair. To this Mr. Cox replied tbat he was not milliner o ton ?hnnoonH rtnl lur atnntr fnm. pany to pay its president fifteen hundred dollars a year.

The question of Insurance was dlsoussed, nbeu Mr. Cox made some interesting statements an to tbe great cost for last year, and ijave pleasing Information as to having stoured better terms for tbe future. As matters In which others than tbe warebouse people may be Interested, we copy ihe following letters, which, If read between the lines, speaE volumes: SoutL-Eastern Tariff Association, Atlanta, Ga., April 13,1906. Farmers Warehouse Co., Abbeville, 8. C.: Gentlemen: We have *t hand a report on this warehouse and are now in a position to name you rates which we feel dure will prove attractive to you. ' . In case of these sprlnklered risks we ere , asking '.bat you will agree to furnlBb us every t two weeks, (on some day to be set by you), , with a Belf-inxpectlon report, a copy ol whicn Is Inclosed. We will furnish you with these < blanks as needed. ) The 90 per cent. oo-lDHurance clause Is used , and from our inspectors report we find that J there are no requirements to be made at this ] 1 time as the risk wbb found in excellent oondl- ] i Hon, but an alarm valve Is necessary in each , springier riser, ana we nope mtu you win , ' agree with us that this valve sbou'd be pro: vlded. On accooDt of the low rating of this plant ( we would expect tbat you will favor us wltb | your entire Hoe of Insurance and nnder tbe above conditions we beg to submit tbe fol- , lowing rates: 26c on tbe warehouse buildings, compart. ments Nos. 1 and 2. 87c on tbe contents compartments Nog. 1 ' and 2. These rates you will note are on tbe two { . compartments only tbat are equipped wltb . tbe sprinkler systems. Trusting tbat ibis action will meet wltb I your approval end asking tbat you favor us , wltb a prompt reply, beg to remain, Yours very truly, H. E. Burdette, , Sect, to Committee. One of tbe letters of later date, and an lmportant one, Is not produotd, the company i not turning It over. I From these letters It Is evident tbat tbe South-Eastern Tariff Association bad an Inkling of tbe fact tbat Mr. Cox was looking after tbe Interest of tbe warehouse oompany, 1 i especially along tbe Insurance line. If not, . why ibe voluntary drop from 81.40 to 26cents . and 37 cents on tbe building ana oontents re- 1 ' spectively? Wby tbese letters lor which there was no ] calllrom this eod of tbe line? It Is evident tbat tLey were not written in reply to letters 1 ' from tbe warehouse company. Wby such manifestation of Ignoranoe of tbe laot tbat compartments No 3 and No. 4 , were equipped with the sprinkler system? It ' Is known of all men that tbe whole system bas been provided wltb tbe sprinklers. Tbe : local agents, as well as those on tbe road, knew the fact, and it Is useless for the borne office, by Inference at least, to cast rcflectlOD e on tbe loyalty and fidelity of tbelr local 1 agents. But, whatever may be at tbe back of tbls teurlDg up of old rates, It Is certain that gometblng Is doing In Insurance circled. THE SOUTHERN TARIFF ASSOCIATION MAKHS CONCESSIONS. f Tbe Soutb-Eastern Tariff Association bad * representatives In town la?t week. Among otner matteis attended to was tbe making ol some rates, and tbe exerolslng of antborlty * over local agents. We know definitely of . only one rating, namely : Tbat of the warehouse, wblcb was built for C'apt. Lyon, but ' wblch Is now occupied by tbe Kerr Furniture ? Company as a store room. Tbe Houtb-EastJ ern Tarlfl Association representatives rated tbat building at $1.40, and tbe goods at 81.78? * tbls building being without tbe sprlnk ler sys? t tem and belug estimated at tbe same prloe ' tbat tbe Farmers Warehouse bad been pay. 4 Ins: on a building full of sprinklers. 1 These gentlemen, representing tbe South Eastern Tariff Association, required Mr. Cbal, mt-rs, one ol tbelr local agents, to dissolve existing relations between blmself and Mr. McDavld, who represented an Independent Insurance company. In addition to tbls, we understand tbat all tbe local agents of tbe South-Eastern Tariff Association were Instructed to meet any rates that Mr. McDavld e might make. And so It Is, everybody may I. get Insurance at rates more reasonable than u heretofore. Mr. McDavid rates the Karr Furniture '? warehouse at 81 for both the building and the ' goods. e The WIIsod, Henry <& Co. dry goods, on the j corner of the public square, we believe, Is 3 plaoed by Mr. McDavld at 81, where the 9 MoutbrEastern Tariff Association had previously rated the same at 81.75. MR. CO* wiss. Bat the story of Mr. Cox's success Is not half told. Instead of the ffl.40 rale, averaging " about 70 cents a bale lor cotton last year, as L paid to the South-Eastern Tariff Association, !' he now has an arrangement by which be gets " Insurance at cost, not Including between oo<j sixth and one-seventh of the premium paid ,f to local afrents of the South-Eastem Tariff . Associations. Instead of about 70 cents a 3 bale an heretofore paid be now gets it at Iobs V than J.0 cents a bale. While be was of course I working specifically for the interest of the warebouse.it may be that because of efforts 0 in his own bt-half the whole commanity ha* d received or will receive the benefit of the r? ,j ductioD of insurance, amounting in the ag. ,, eregnte to several thousand dollars a year. The benf-ri( which has incidentally come be* ?; c?u?e of the warehouse, proves the truth oi the saying that everybody's business is nc. body's business, e THE COMING MAN. ' If he is not already oere, Mr. Cox is certainly the coming man of Abbeville. His efforts e In the past have been successful. He built 'a the oil mill, and it has been a good thing for Abbeville. But neither he nor the stockholdi , i INSURANCE. I?Tlie South-Eastern Meets Mr. McDavid's house Officers Elected ng Skyward. era made very much oat of that enterprise. As a reward for bis effort in getting up the mill, he was oflered the office of meal bag bolder at SI a day. He didn't accept It. He ran for And!tor. The people appreciated bis worth and be was elected. He made a good offloer. He saved a part of bis salary, and from thai beginning, which was followed by Judicious investments, bis accumulations have made him end his family comfortable in this world's goods. He was largely Instrumental In establishing the Peoples Bank. With Dr. S. G. Thomson, president; R. E. Cox, ashler; W F. Nlcklen, assistant cashier. the Peoples Bank stands high with the people and has the confidence of the business world. The wonderful success of the bank, durlnir Its first two years, attest the fidelity and efficiency of its management. The stock would oomiDHDd a high premium, If It were filaced on the market. But as far as we are nformed, no stock of the Peoples Bank is for sale. A MOST SUCCESSFUL BANK. The good Judgment, or the saeacity, or, if you like, th? good luck of the officers of the bank Is Drrtven In their verv flr?.t act. The president. Dr. Thomson, bought tbelr bank bulldlDg for $8.0iX). They rent to others space Id tbe bulldlug lor a snm sufflolent to pay lo- 1 teres! on tbe Investment, leaving tbelr banking office and private room free of cost to tbe corporation. Tbe president la cautions and |> careful of credits, ai>d bis previous success In managing his own affairs Is tbe best assur> ance that the bank In bisobarge Is in safe and olid oondltlon Tbe cashier Is sagaolous, [ competent and energetlo. If you find out J tbat tbat combination does not bring sucoeas * to the bank, you can telegraph us at your j own expense. In two years tbe book value of 1 tbe stock bas gone up to nearly fifty per cent, above tbe par value. A XEW IXSUBANCK COMPART. t At the rl?k of having you think tbat we are flattering Mr. Cox. and tbe Peoples Bank, we C would ask If there Is any good reason wby tbe bank and.Mr. Cox should not establish an Insurance company? When It is known tbat Mr. McDavld's company Is gettlDg Hcb at much lese charges than those of tbe South- ' Eastern Tariff' Association, there Is no reason wby an Abbeville oompany should not sucjeed. Agencies conld be established In other s [owns, and it would be Idle to say tbat wltb J Inwpr rat.Pfl f.h A A hhoulllp nnmr\or mnnM C ;et business.
