Celebrates 20th
Anniversary
the Saxc-Gotha and the first cer
tificate of stock was issued by tha
association to V. A. Calk, of Lex

“I have been a director of thr
bank since its organization”, sai:
Mr. Guion. ‘‘I have seen in tha-.
time agriculture climo t : ^ew high
and fall to new lows. As a director
I have had to listen to stories c (
success and to stories of failure i
My experience of twenty years oi
this board has convinced me that
the rugged honesty of the farn r
makes him a good credit risk and
that he is going to pay his debts
to the full measure of his ability.”
A radio broadcast, a birthday
dinner and a dance were on the
program for the celebration.

Commissioner loans for a total of
$57,630,728, thus making a grand
total of $189,511,043 which has been
leaned to the farmers of this dis
trict through the instrumentality
of the bank since its organization.
Referring to the part that the
bank has played “in assisting agri
culture to overcome the effects of
the worst financial depression in
our history and from which agri
culture was the greatest sufferer”,
Mr. Scarborough said that since
May, 1933, the bank, acting for it
self and as agent of the Land Bank
,Ccmmissioner, has made 59,799
loans for a total of $99,235,731.
“This dees not mean”, said Mr
Scarborough, “that the indebted
ness of the farmers in this district
has been increased that much.
Over 80 per cent cf this money
went to refinance old indebtedness
at lower rates of interest and more
convenient terms of repayment
Over 6 per cent of it went to pur
chase farm lands and for redemp
tion from foreclosure while 10 per
cent of it was used for general ag
ricultural purposes including the
erection of necessary farm build
ings and improvement of old build
ings.”
Mr. Scarborough said that in the
four states $25,596,290 of the .none;
borrowed by farmers went to pay
their debts to banks; $5,878,003 ic
jay their debts to life insurance
companies and $5,319,500 to pa;
heir state and county taxes, an:
added that “almost every phase
sf our commercial life was Dene
litcd.”
“By refinancing their old debt:
at lower rates of interest”, saic
Mr. Scarborough “farmers of thi?
district effected an annual interest
saving of $2,750,000. In addition a
further saving by reason of the
temporary statutory reduction oi
interest an additional saving of $1,-
382,000 was made to land bank
borrowers in the four states las
year, this making a grand total o'
$4,132,000 in interest saved by the
farmers of the district last year.”
L. I. Guion, of Lugoff, S. C.,
member of the board of directors
of the bank since its organization,
reviewed the organization of the
bank. The first directors of the
institution were F. J. H. von Engel-
kin, of East Palatka, Fla.; Howard
C. Arnold, of Greenville, Ga.; D.
A. Houston, of Monroe, N. C.; L.
I. Guion, of Lugoff, S. C. and S. C.
Warner, of Palatka, Fla. Mr. von
Engelkin was elected as the first
president; Mr. Guion vice presi
dent, and Mr. Arnold secretary, at
the organization meeting held on
Feb. 21, 1917. The bank secured its
charter on March 16, 1917 and was
formally opened for business on
March 24.
According to Mr. Guion the first
national farm loan association in
the district to be chartered was

an important agency of popular lies before the library in the at-
education, the states must follow tainment of its ideals. We should

the same reasons. The accident of
being born in a poor section of the
state cannot debar a citizen from e-
qual educational opportunity. I have
no doubt that eventually the federal
government will be compelled to
equalize educational opportunity
throughout the nation. It is doing

the National Youth Administration
and through its contributions \.o
vocational education.
I appreciate the unpopularity of
this theme. I know that Walter
Lippmann and lots of other people
think it is too bad that everybody
is looking to Washington these
days. I share this feeling when the
object of an application to the fed
eral government is to advance the
selfish interests of some group. I
