H. Hal Hill Promoted to Be
Cashier and Vice-President
of Planters Loan & Sav
ings Bank.
George P. Bates was named presi
dent of the Planters Loan & Savings
Batik by the board of directors yes
terday afternoon and H. Hal Hill
was named vice-president and cash
ier. Mr. Bates was promoted to the
presidency to succeed the late presi
dent, Mr. Linwood C. Hayne. He had
> been vice-president and cashier. Mr.
Hill was promoted from assistant
cashier to vice-president and cashier.
The two new executive officers of
the Planters Loan & Savings Bank
are men younger in years, though
they are veterans in the banking bus
iness. Mr. Bates having given 16
years of his life to it and Mr. Hill
eleven years of his. It had" been an
open secret for several days that
Messrs. Bates and Hill would be nam
ed to their respective positions and
during the afternoon and evening af
ter the directors met they were the
recipients of the most cordial con
gratulations.
Mr. Bates is a native of Telfair
ville, Burke County, Georgia, and is
36 years of age. He attended Emory
College, Oxford, Ga., from 1902 to
1904 and had to leave in his sopho
more year to go to work. He secured
employment with the Central of
Georgia Railway at Millen, and came
to Augusta the next yeal-, 1905, and
began work as a runner for the old
National Bank of Augusta. The next
year he went with the Planters Loan
as bookkeeper and 1910 he was made
cashier. In January 1920 he was made
vice-president and cashier.
Mr. Hill was born in Augusta 28
year ago, was educated at the North
Augusta High School arid shortly af
ter he was 16 years of age went to
work for the Planters Loan & Savings
Bank. His rise has been steady, he
having filled the various positions in
the bank, until last year in January
"he was made assistant cashier. Yes
terday he was made vice-president
and cashier and is possibly the young
est vice-president of a big city bank
anywhere in the country.
Both Mr. Bates and Mr. Hill en
joyed the complete confidence of Mr.
Hayne.They came up with the bank,
so to speak, and though young as the
ages of men in business go, they are
equipped with many years of ex
perience.
Oil Painting of Mr. Hayne.
After the completion of business at
the meeting Rev. C. C. Jarrell, in be
half of Miss Mary Anderson, the sis
ter of Mr. Hayne, presented to the
"bank an oil painting of Mr. Hayne
Vand in presenting the same* paid high
tribute to the character of the man.
He stated that the system of banking
was a very ancient institution; that
even in the days of Babylon, we
read of drafts being drawn against
deposits, that while seemingly bank
ing business is very simple, yet it
demanded a man of the highest char
acter and calibre to successfully car
ry it on, and that Mr. Hayne was
such a man. He then spoke of him as
a citizen, a banker and public official,
and as being of the very highest type
in all of these.
The president then called upon Mr.
Benjamin E. Pierce to make ? few
words in response, in acceptance of
Mr. Hayne's picture, and in doing so,
Mr. Pierce said, in part:
"There come times when men
would like to express their.feelings
in words, when- words become mere
meaningless things," and that it was
in this position he found himself. He
said that the board of directors were
deeply grateful of the thoughtfulness
of Mr. Haynes' sister in presenting
the latest picture of her devoted
brother to the bank, and he stated
that the image of L. C. Hayne was
hung on the walls of the hearts of
every member of the board of direct
ors, and engraven upon the tablets of
their memories, never to be effaced,
so long as life remained and that
when their bodies were consigned to
.mother earth, to which had been con
signed that of Mr. Hayne, they hoped
to meet him in that other world and
be with him in that home not made
with hands.
He then in a few words depicted
?the character of Mr. Hayne, and
stated that he was not a man to pa
rade himself in the public eye, but
rather preferred to build for himself
a monument tnat would live on and
throughout the eternal ages, that
character was one thing that man
could build for himself, that would
endure and such Mr. Hayne had suc
cessfully builded. He then expressed
-the deep appreciation of the members
of the board for the gift.-Augusta

Detroit and South ' Carolina.
While the people of South Caro
lina are struggling with hard condi
tions and confronting serious losses,
while the problem that they face
would not be underestimated by any
man of common sense, it' might be
well to inquire how the people are
faring in communities where the
price of cotton does not trouble.
The city of Detroit has, in round
numbers, 1,000,000 inhabitants.
"CommunityFund News," "issued oc
casionally by the Detroit Community
Fund, incorporated," reports that
"early in February, the number of
industrial workers unemployed was
estimated at 160,000" which means
that at least 400,000 persons are be
ing ' supported by other means than
current earnings," in that city.
In Detroit is no poultry yard to
supply the industrial worker and his
family with chickens and eggs.
The industrial worker in Detroit
has no cow-nor has the neighbor a
cow. . I
In Detroit there is no pine thicket
from which the industrial worker can -
obtain his fuel and a "mild winter"
in Detroit is as cold as the coldest we i
know in our climate. i
The number of people requiring 1
help in Detroit is equal to one-fourth i
of the whole population, white and
black, of South Carolina. Let those !
of our people brooding over misfor- -
tunes forget them long enough to |
take into their minds this picture
from "Community Fund News:" i
"The Salvation Army home and 1
hospital on West Grand boulevard <
for many weeks past has been de
luged with maternity cases from the
homes of workingmen without funds
to employ a physician.
"From the figures quoted some in
dication appears of the growing re- 1
lief problem. Probably 30,000 individ- c
uals were being cared for in their (
homes by charity the first week in .
February. In normal times the most
unusual number that has to be gi. ..t
food, rent and fuel in their homes
for each week would not be over 5,
000. 1

own eyes the long lines of weary men
and women waiting their turn at the
wickets can have no conception of
the human tragedy enacted daily at

pride; self-respecting mechanics,
mothers with babes in arms, wait pa
tiently for the coveted "order" that
will enable the family td exist for
another week. The imagination can
readily picture the head of the fam
ily trudging from factory to factory,
from employment office to employ
ment office, vainly seeking work."
Had the "industrial workers" in
the four fat years that have passed
saved," and not spent prodigally, few
families except those that have been
subject to sickness or other misfor
tunes would not be independent on
charity. Why mention it? It is not
the average man that follows Ben
Franklin's advice.
When a farmer loses $10,000 on
cotton or a business man $10,000 on
cotton mill stocks, it is bad-but
when 100 men dependent on "current
earnings" for food, warmth and shel
ter are out of work and are earning
nothing, it is worse.
The bankruptcy of one is not so
great a misfortune as the cold and
hunger o? anothei*, rich and poor be
ing alike men and brethren.
Where is the Pharisee who shall
say when he loses his property he
deserves more pity than the mechanic
tvho without work can not give his
children bread?
In the great city unemployment
spells suffering, sickness and anguish
-and Detroit is but one of many
rreat cities.
By comparison with the masses of
