What This Bank Has Done
Eighteen Months.
It has furnished competition in the hanking line that, re-
lieves you from a monopoly of high interest when you want to
borrow.
It has placed the banking business of Lexington on a safe
and Bound secured basis.
It lias proved iO the public that it is b.ttei to do bu-in. ■-
with a secured bank than any other kind,
It has forced our competitor to guarantee its
against its will.
It has placed 18 school districts in this adjoining torritory
on an absolute cash basis. These districts had heretofore
been at the mercy of the banks in discounting their script.
Now a piece of school script is as good as Sold whether there,
is money in the treasury or not This bank and this bank alone
is due credit for these conditions.
It 1 as grown from an infant much ridiculed by its com-
petitor to the leading financial institution in Southern Cleve-
land county.
It has made over ,i thousand satisfied customers who know
their money is safer in this bank than in their pockets.

These affidavits were so taken
and submitted by Mr. J. I!. Dudley
the railroad lawyer ol this county,
and in line with his duties as such.
It is not counted any mistake in
the above, should any appear later,
is intentional, but would only be
such as any of us might make in
the regard, yet it is upon these af-
fidavits of our citizens that we are
being fought, and if the cases are
lost, we have furnished the evi-
dence to the railroads. The rail-
roads declare, without reservation,
that they are assessed at actual
cash value and there is none of
them that will give the state aflida-
unless finally forced by the
court, except that their valuation
is dollar for dollar
The railroad tax for 1008 in this
county is $17,220.58 and in 1!)07
was $7,043.78, taking the highest
estimate above which is 7-> per cent
and which the state board lowered
83 1-.'! per cent, would leave this
county at a valuation of onh ■ .0 p. i
cent of fair cash valpe at the most
favorable estimate, or that we have
over $15,000,000 valuation outside
of the corporations at full value.
According to the above figures, if
it's a buggy, surry or spring a'ccepted by the court as they stand.
Z. Brown has this county stands to loose from
or 8,010.2!), so that the railroad tax
w..iild onh be $1,5i;7.hiu'ljcr than
in 1007, w hile much of the proper-
ty of this county is from 1-3 to
double the 1007 tax, so that the
county's assessment must be above
50 per cent or the railroad's much
below the claimed 100 per cent.
■ICS _ 1
It is not right that the corpora-
tion should pay more in proportion
than the individual, but upon exam-
ination of the records I fail to see
nhcie mctc lias been any discrimi-
nation in Cleveland County, and
am writing this that the citizens
may know how we are placed in
the matter and that 1 may have
their co-operation ill preparing the
evidence from this county, because
what the railroads beat us out of

zens later on. Also let me know
