BUILDING AND LOAN
/ SOLVES SOME PROBLEMS
of ladividoal Effort Stressed by J. W. Norwood Be-
fore Stole Association— Iraportoot Means Toward
_ ^AflaUuoeil of Desired EoC
\
“TO* relation of th« Buildlnc and
Loan AMoeiitkm to the Problems of
Today” was the e»bject of an Inter-
hsttec address by J. W. Norwood of
OreeaTllle at the annual meeting of
the. Booth Carolina Building and
Loaa league held recently at Abbe
ville.
The paper follows:
On June 10 a convention was held
la Columbia, the object of which was
* the discussion of means of bettering
conditions In bur State. This object
appeals to all thoughtful and patriot
ic £fHsens. We doubtless agree in
’ thinking there is vast room for im
provement in point of character, in
tellect and wealth, though we may
differ aa to the question of the means
to be employed in bringing about the
desired improvement.
Mean* to An End.
The Building and Loan association
it an important means toward the
attainment of the desired end, and
can be made more important. Anv
agency which tends to cultivate «f-
fort and self control in the Individual
tends to promote character and -in
tellect. Examine for a moment the
importance of indtvidnal effort. If
some wealthy philanthropist would
erect and equip for na magnificent
school and college building and pay
liberal salaries to Induce the services,
of the best teachers that can be se
cured in the world, our children
would never acquire much knowledge
nnleas they put forth active effort
themselves. The opportunity af
forded by the school Is greatly to be
desired hot the effort on the part of
ourselves is infinitely more important
The things others do for us count for
little id comparison to the things we
do for ourselves. People can be in
jured by receiving too much help
from others. To illustrsfeT Suppose
• s dosen of the richest men in South
Carolina would sell all they have and
distribute the value in money among
people who live from hand to mouth.
What would be the effect? In the
first place the wheels of jnduatry
Would come near stopping. * The
blind tiger, gambling
places of vice would nourish, num
bers of people would be killed in
brawls, and this condition would con
tinue until the money was spent and
people were forced back to work.
If, however, those who through in
dolence and want of self denial ac
cumulate nothing could be induced
through greater industry and thrift
to accumulate as much, or 10 time?
as much. Os tile dozen wealthiest
,men in our State are worth, would
this fcealth promote n vice? By no
means; on the contrary it %ould be
a great blessing morally and intel
lectually as well as materially. If
you think that accumulation through
industry, thrift and integrity has
nothing to do with promoting charac
ter, just examine for a moment
criminal statistics which are kept
more or less accurately in many of
our States. Not one criminal In
one thousand has accumulaaed a
modest competency through indus
try and thrift.
Hoaest Efforts.
These traits are inconsistent with
crime or grossly dishonorable con
duct of any kind. People who are
industrious and thrifty Invariably
are repelled by the vicious, indolent
and extravagant. If you question
the statement that industry and
thrift sffset education just call up ifi
your minds scqukinaaces who ac
cumulated s modest competencv.
How many such men failed to giv*
their children better educational ad
vantages than they, could have af-
, forded If they bad spent their entire
Income every year? I do not kno*
what your observation has been, but
I’ll tell you mine. 1 have known
many men who accumulated more or
less, who started life with little or
nothing. Not one such failed to
givd his 6hildreu educational advan
tages which would have been im
possible had he accumulated noth
ing. Suppose only 99 out of evgry
10(1 savers educate their children.
What would be the effect on educa
tion in a generation if you could get
160 young men In Abbeville < , ounty
who now save nothing, to begin to
save a liberal part of «Jte!r incomes
and to continue in thin coufse the
balanoe of their lives, and an equal
number in proportion to population
to do the same thing'in every other
county in this Ststei? Would not the
example of the 10h ravers in Abbe
ville and perhaps 3.000 or 4.000 in
other parts of the State influence
1 hundreds and perhaps thousands of
-recruits each year? Would we not
have more schools and better schools,
and would not our people be nore
thoroughly educated—would not
the average of character be Infinite
ly higher?
Materialism.
Speakers often deplore a tendency
In our State toward msteriaiism In
consistent with the highest and
noblest trslts. No such speaker as
serts that the accumulation of wealth
through jjjmlustry, thrift and integ
rity has piK, injured any individual
or commtfhffy but there is s material
ism which is degrading. Any man
who gain* the materiaL-^ things of
life through wronging o&ori should
be condemned and punished aa far
M possible. There are many such
ways, bat I will only refer to a few:
A tradesman who will give, short
weights or measures in order to get
s few cents or many dollars which
he has not earned; employees who
shrink or neglect their work when
the employer’s back la turned: clerks
in stores who pocket the merchants’s
cigars or othsr goods without pay
ing; bankers who vote against ths in
terest of their country ia order to at
tract depoaita; lawyers who excite
the prejudice of more or less igno
rant jurymen in order to get exces
sive damages from the railroad own
ed by non-residents of the State
There is another class of merchants
who are far-reaching in their in
fluence against all that is high and
noble. I refer to men who dress in
purple and fine linen, so to speak,
and fare sumptuously every day. yet
fail to pay honest debts. Compare
the influence of such a man to that
of tho burglar. The maa who falls
to pay for the clothes he wears af
fects the merchant just the tame As
the thief who breaks through sad
steals, but his Influence is far more
injurioua to the youth of his com
munity. Tonng people are In little
danger of following the example of
the burglar, but they very frequently
are influenced by the dishonest ma
terialist who passes as a respectable
gentlemean.
Need Hoaest Men.
We should have nothing but the
kindest sympathy for the man who
through misfortune or poor Judg
ment. fails to meet his obligations
but if such s man continues to spend
in self-indulgence and applies noth
ing to the payment of his de'bts. be
need not be surprised if decent,
thoughtful people question his hon
esty. The more we oppose material
ism of the class I have described the
more we do for the moral, mental
r snd material upbuilding of«ur State
Industry and thrift necessary to
\ carry building and loan stock is di-
! re»*ly opposed to ,materialism and
j commercialism ef p ciejrrsriinc na
ture. G^n Robt E Lee in 'ub-
stance, that if the Southern man
would acquire that wholesome in
stinct of saving money, no race would
eoosl us. A distinguished p-ofessor
of hlstorv In Cornell uqiversitv savs
•L know# kesthnov- •‘With
wealth always go civilization and
education.” Carlyle savs in sub
stance: No great empire was evqc
founded, indeed nothing grest under
the sun was ever scco»npli«hed. b it
it was founded on that humble virtue
of thrift. Numerous other high au
thorities could be named, but after
all a ’man’s own common sense or
this as well as on manv other sub-
lects is more importsnt and more
helnful than ail the authorities living
and dead. In urging the Importance
of self-restricting thrift other things
are bv no means disparaged. Great
scientists, teachers, preachers, ar-
artists. literary men are important
in the development of anv country
but if our people can be induced to
aeek first to accumulate a modest
competency, aourning all but the
most honorable means, all other de
sirable things wil) be added unto
them.

The Plucky Captain.
The late Bishop Dosne, in s
Fourth of July address in Albany,
once urged his hearers to fight
against socialism as their ancestor*
had fought aga.nst the Britieh, re
latea the Washington Star. J,
“Put up a good stiff fight.” said
the bishop, “ann the pluck of these
miserable socialists wiil be no better
than that of ('apt Scraggs.
"Capt Scraggs saw active service
once. The engagement was pretty
stiff. In fact, it looked hopeless to
the capta n. However, he said
cheerily to his men;
*’ *My brave fellows, fight like
heroes till youq ammunition’s gone;
then run for your lives. 'Ive got a
•ore foot, so I’ll start now. Au re-
voir, my heart es.’ ”

During a recent suffragette parade
in New York, one pretty young
woman \%as assigned to carry a very
heavy banner, say* fhe New York
Time*, she grew exceedingly tired
“before the parade had gone very far,
and. seeing her IrctHce in the crowd
on the pav-ernent. besought him to
•come and carry the banner for -her.
The young man protested.
”1 can't carry a banner in a suf
frage parade.” he aaid.
"Oh. yes you can,” replied the
girl, "that i*. you can’ If you really
love the.”
This put another light on the *ub-
Ject and the young man took up tho
banner and began the march. He
didn’t know wkat Ike crowd was
laughing about until it occurred to
him to look at the banner* when, to
his horror^he saw that it rend:
. “Men can vote; why .can’t I?”
