Try thorn Za&p A, DsP*m. CAPT. W. M. SHANNON. A good citizen is a. valuable asset to any community. Camden has a number of them, and prominent in the list of good and useful citizens is Capt. W fA. Shannon, who has used his splendid talents for the ad vance meat of the best interests of this town and county. For many years he has held a conspicuous place in the legal profession of this state As an attorney and as a citizen he has no superior in this commu nity. Among the important enterprises in which he has taken a leading part is the Bunding and Loan Association. He has a score and a half years experience in the Enterprise Building and Loan Association, of Camden, which was established here in 1883. He was therefore well qualified to speak on the "Moral Effect of a Building and Loan Account," the subject assigned him at the mcating of the South Carolina Building and Loan Lthgue, which met rechntly in Abbeville. We take pleasure in reproducing his excellent address on that occasion, which was as follows: It ia a pleasure to respond to y our Invitation to address this con vention of the South Carolina Building & Loan League and to ad vance some suggestions on the "Moral Effcct of a Building & Loan Acount," the subject assigned to me. This is a congenial atmosphere in which I find myself anil after thirty years of active service in this work I am a pronounced enthu siast on this subject, and I do not hesitate to advance the opinion that an Association conducted on broad and liberal grounds is entitled to rank with the Church and School Room in its great work and in the wholesome and elevating influence which it is exercising with the citizen. The work of the three should go hand in hand. The School room develops the youthful mind. The Church expounds its teaching of truth, purity and vir.tue. The Building and Loan Assoclati6n fur nishes the home and thereby produces an atmosphere In which the teachings of the School Room and the Church develop a higher oltizen ship and' a higher moral character. This may seem an extravagant statement to one who has not gone deep down into the merits of this system and studied Its influence and benefits in a community, for most persons consider these Associations exclusively from the standpoint of a profit on the stock held In It aB an Investment. _ ?' While the question of profit Is one necessary for successful man if 1 ?i til Pi BQift consideration and an Association should not be an instrument of oppression by means ol whffftT lilgh rates of Interest! fines and penalties are levied upon the borrower for the benefit of the Investor. The original conception and purpose of the Building and ^oan plan was the co-operation of its members in providing homes for each other and this is still the purpose and aim of a well conducted and true Association. Those familiar with the early history of the Building and Loan As sociation find it interesting to follow its growth and to contemplate the influence It has had in the dev elopment of our country. The first of these Associations in the Unite^ States was estab lished in the Btate of Pennsylvania In 1831 and to-day Pennsylvania has more thart 1,600 Associations with a membership of dearly half a million and with assets of nearly $200,000,000.00. The official reports for the year 1911 show that there were in op eration in the United States 6,099 associations" with a combined mem bership of 3,332,289, and with a combined capital $1,030,087,131.00, and this large capital 1b devoted to building homes for the citizens of this great country. We all realize that South Carolina has Just fairly parted her ma terial development and the field 1b ripe for immense possibilities in Building and Loan work, and wo should not neglect the opportunity. Our people should bo educated to the great advantages of these As sociations aiul the Bimplo and economical methods by which homes are provided through them. They should bo favored under the law and legislation should be enacted by which they should bo relieved from the burden of taxa tion, for an agency that provides capital to produce property for tax ation should not ltBelf be taxod. It will bo admitted that the higheBt degree of domestic happiness and contentment, the loftiest ideals and tlVb purest lives are found In thi-so families which gather around their own hearthstone and fireside at night. We all know tho inspiring ambition of a young couple on their marriage is to build tholr own home. We see and hoar them study ing and dlBRUBslng plana and their faces light up with anticipation and their hearts go out to each other as they picture in their minds a cozy little d^ttage ? their home. Jast then and there a purer life and a higher citizenship starts its growth. Tho moral effect of the home 1b in evidence. The home is made possible through the Building and Loan Association and there by the moral effoct 1b produced. Tho homo life, tho family life in what is required to cultivate and grow orderly lives, pure thoughts, kindly and urisolfiBh dispositions, pure lives and highest citizenship .and whatever agency makes pos sible and provides the home produces tho moral effect. It is unusual to find a business Institution which so completely con stitutes Itself the guardian or trustee for the borrowing class among Its members as do these associations, and out of thlB guardianship starts the growth of this "moral effect" which we are considering and which grows in proportion as the truBt Ib well administered. This subject should bo treated from tho standpoint of the" borrow er from the fact that this In tho largest cIbrs and the one whioh se cures the greatest benefits. We will present the case of a borrowor who files his written ap plication for a loan to build a cottage. This application should al ways bo accompanied by planfi and specifications for the building. The papers must be referred to the lqan committee, whioh Is an impor tant one and should be composed of practical men and those having some experience in matters ol building. In handling this application this committee should ascertain the financial standing of the borrow er, the size of his family and such other faots as will enable them to see that he builds a home suited to his needs. Care should be ob served that a competent contractor undertakes the construction of the house that It may be built, comfortable, attractive and convenient. " If the Committee Is taotful, Intelligent and considerate it will be able to establish cordial relations between the borrower and the Aseo clatlon during the course of these negotiations. The borrower grows to regard himself as part and parcel of the Association, his self es teem and self appreciation are Increased, a moral uplift takes place and a higher citizenship is created in <hlm, and the moral effect of the Building and' Loan^terl^ Is again In evidence. The business methods of , these Associations too Is valuable and ben eficial to Its members. The systematic and orderly way in which the monthly or weekly payments ate collected is an excellent business train ing and promptness in meeting business engagements is thereby culti vated. Habits of saving and economy are enceuraged and wasteful ness 4nd improvidence is oheeked. A community* of savers soon be* comes * community of small capitalists and the aggregate wealth from smalt savings builds up various enterprises and prosperity follows The practise of imposing small fines tipon delinquents is a good dl* I ctpllne but should not be excessive or should not be Imposed arbltra l v . '* ' . VM'V.' riljr or for the purpose of profit. This practise shoo Id be used to stimulate aud to encourage promptness lu meeting monthly dues. Members are frequently heard to assert with prldfe that they have paid their dues tor 10f IS or 20 years and havd had uo tine charged against them. Thus the wholesome effect of this practise Is demon strated. It cultivates a desire and ambition to stand out as prompt In meeting business obligations and the benefit of this tralulng Is a val uable asset. t Youug men should be encouraged to Join these Associations while habits are easily formed under good discipline. Ever so small an In vestment In this stock Is an advantage through its business training. In its own small way It puts a premium on promptness in business affairs. - It encourages habits of thrift, saving and economy, it ob structs the tendtAey to idleness, worldliness, extravagance, the curse of the generation, and leads Into ohannels which will develop char ac ter, buslneee ability apd success and higher citizenship. , Just here I shall ask you* indulgence, that I may recite a few in stances doming under, my observation lu connection with Building and Loan work. ' v Thirty years ago I was invited to .accept the position as Attorney and to assist In the organization of the Association which 1 represent here today, and I am conscious that 'my long connection with this work and the dally contaot with these earnest and enthusiastic men who were co-workers In my early life have exercised an influence which is of : priceless value to me. . I soont became Impressed with the advantages of this system and pur j chased my own home through the Association. I paid in monthly in-' ?talmehts during a period of ten years a sum equal to a reaBonablo '?house rent and the home was discharged from the mortgage . 1: i In the long ago, 1 had a friend who had recentlymarried. He was forking on a small vsalary and living in a rented house. He owned a I vacant lot which he had gotten from his father's estate. He was anx |" lous to build but did i}ot have the means. This Association had Just started its work and its plan was explained to him. The- result was he built a home through the Association. He paid for a period of about ten years n monthly instalment which was something less than he had been paying by way of monthly rent and ho cleared and discharged the mortgage on his premises. A Merchant owned a vacant lot on the main business street of the city sufficient to accomodate two stores. IIo was a man of limited means, bo he built a place of buslnjss on one half of the lot and left the other half vacant. It was explained to him that he could advantageously build another store on his lot through the Building and Loan Association and that hlB rents from same would take c ire of ih j loan. He built the bU re and it waB leased as soon aB compl i'cd for a sum sufficient to p.iy the monthly assessments on his lo .n toge.hcr with taxes and inaur anco. v . This Association has built two c 'lurches In the city and aided In the improvement of others. In 1893 when the money panic had driven the banks to the wall and private In.egtors were afraid to turn Iojsi* their money, it supplied from Ub monthly collections the funds to complete the City Graded School, uiuil the school bonds cou d be suld on the market. These are only a few of the co ns: icuous tenefits of a w. 11 con ducted Association in furnishing h mus, plr.ccs of business, places pf public worship, public schools for the people i?f a conununl.y. Each Association represented hero has n j doubt had a similar experience and has lent Its aid in building up Us community. Two lnterestlftg" cases which came under my observation were touch ing Instances of profound appreciation and gratitude on the part of the borrower. Some years ngo a maiden woman with the care of an invalid mother was meeting the battle of life by hard lubor and living in a rented house. In her despair she approached an officer of this Association and stated her dte'xossing condition. He became interested in her case and affected an arrangement by which she purchased a small lot and built a modest but- neat and comfortable three room cottage. The woman found It difficult -to understand how it had come about that she had a homo and that her monthly payments to the Associa tion were less than her monthly rent payments had been. She seem ed to regard it In the light of %h. dispensation of Providence. After she was comfortably settleV in her homo she called on this officer of the Association to thank him for his aid, and said to him in her simple, but earnest way, "Every night in my prayers I beg my Heavenly Father to bless you for your goodness to mo in providing me a home." In another case a widow woman with hor children was living in a rented house. By industry and economy she had saved enough to buy a small lot in the suburbs of the city. Hor heart yearned for a homo where she could gather her children under hor dwn roof. She applied to this same officer of this Association for help. In tima the home was provided by means of a loan. > Soon after she oc cupied her homo ahe wrote a letter to this officer ^and expressed her appreciation in these touching wordB, "I shall nevver vforget your kind lless to* me, and 6V6ry night"! -prtx y God T<5 "jTffblilw fftr foil Heaven as you have provided one for me In thiB world." While this poor maiden' woman and thiB poor widow woman did not fully oomprehend the method through which they had obtained these homes, their hearts were full of gratitude which they so earnestly ex pressed, and they paid a high tribute to Building and Loan work in asking the rich blessings of Providence in their daily prayers for this oflcer of this Associaton . The suggestion that a man endowed with geat wealth should regard himself in the light of a Trustee for this wealth, and administer It for the benefit of his fellow man is a lofty idea. It should not, how ever, be confined to money alone but to business talents and to bus iness opportunities as well. Let those then who are identified with Building and Loan work ex tend this Trusteeship so as to embrace the forces of capital, business ability and business opportunity. . Lot them labor together to enlarge the field of endeavor* and let not the enthusiasm diminish until every citizen of this great Republic shall be provided with hiB awn homo and fireside from which he may each day Issue his prayer of^pralso and thanksgiving to a Divine Providence. In this great work let us start at home. We should excite greater enthusiasm in the annual meetings of the local Associations through the means of short addresses. Let us resolve these meetings Into ex perience meetings. Let the modest citizen sv.ate his vliews and opin ions of the moral. and financial advantages which have come to him through his Association. ' Start this spirit of enthusiasm in the individual association and it will extend to the State League a :J on to tne United States League. And as the spirit grows it will saturate tht people, then the Logls altlve bodies, then the CourtB and hi imo ail will Join hands In ex panding to Its utmost possibility th ,s ^rand sy3tem of providing homes for* and thereby improving the mo ,-.i. chara^r and elevating the citi zenship of this great country. *Would that each membor of this c >n enflon had tho opportunity of attending ono of tho annual meetings of the United Statei, Leagues or Local Building and Loan Associations There the picture of this "work t.ir ughout the United Stn fs is dis played before you in its immensity ~>? tne fep >.*t of tho Secretary which COverB its growth from year to yea , with It*. membership w. 11 up In the millions and It a capital well u^ li tho l>i!i!ons This report^ Is followed by addre ses from e'oiiuent and enthusiastic workers in the mapy Associations 01' the United Statos and foreign countries.

When men have grown so civilized that streets are all kept eiean, And In the parks, on lawns and walks, no litter can be seen; When ugly houses-lire not built, wnen men no more will stand Those sign-board lies of monstrous size ? then,, shall we be on hand ? When everybody gladly pays of taxes his just share, When no more floods of watered stock, investors have to bear; When of the venal vote the honest man need have no fear, When cars in streets provide all seats ? d'y?ti think that you'll be here? When wives grow economical, the farmers satisfied, Manners refineJ anfl "cops" inclined to thrust all graft aside; When men In summer dress with sense, when women all are fair, Think not that we content shall be ? because we shan't be there! When prices of some things move down instead of always up. When wines and foods are pure and good, and real tea's in the cup; When newspapers exclude things vile, when "stars" learn to how act You'll not be here, my reader deaf, when these things turn to fact.
