Many cotton mill men, who are
connected with the industry in surrounding
mills, make this their
home. It is also well located for
ccnimeKjial travelers and quite a,'
number are making this their headquarters
on account of the advan1

surrounding country being particularly
prosperous and thickly settled.
ACCESSIBILITY OF THE CITY.
Others still who are engaged in
agricultural pursuits have found it
convenient to live in the city. The
five railroads radiating out in five

the great arteries through which

wu uii-re uepenu in large measure tne
resources of its citizens and the facilities
afforded for its growth and
development. If the hanks are weak
and timid, or narrow and miserly in
policy, or if they hold themselves
above and cut of touch with the people
and the business men, all effort
at d -velopment and improvement Is
hampered and impeded. But if the
banks are strong and progressive,
having confidence in the people and
knowing the resources cf the community,
and are in close touch with
the people, aiding them with counsel

there is scarcely any possibility that
any bank here could ever fall. Under
the laws of South Carolina every
stockholder in a banking institution
is liable for 100 per cent, assessment
on every share cf stock he holds in
case of the bank's insolvency, so the
depositors are perfectly safe whatever
happens.

pleasant to do business with. Their

and sound banking and their loans

exception men who started in the
bank's employ iu the humblest clerical
position and gradually worked
their way up as they became more
i proficient in banking and as their
superiors were retired by promotion

natural causes. This is especially
true of President Hurnett of the First
.National, President White of the
Merchants and F'armers and President
I^aw of the Central National.
President Calvert of the Bank cf
Spartanburg and President Idgon of
the American National became bank
presidents after having become successful
