FINANCES OF THE BANKS.
Bank Examiner Lee G. HoUeman
Make? His Last Report.
State Bank Examiner Lee O. Hoi*
loman bas made big last official quar
terly report as the head of his de
partment in the State government.
Mr. HoUeman haB tendered his res?
ignation as State Bank Examiner/
the resignation to take effect Febru- I
ary 1st next, after which time he
will assume the duties of president
of the People's National Bank of
Anderson. During his term of office,
which began when the office was cre
, a ted by the General Assembly, he has
shown peculiar fitness for the posi
tion, hie proficiency in matters per
taining to expert accounting .fitting
him to discharge the duties of his
offlee in a manner most gratifying to
the State authorities. His ?esigna
?tton is regretted, but he has laid
J down these duties to take up others
\ of equal respons.olllty, if not in
r quite' so wide a sphere, as the Peo
ple's National Bank of Anderson is
one of the largest banking houses of
the State, and the presidency of lt
entails responsibilities probably
greater than the office of State Bank
Examiner.
It is interesting to note in this
eonneotlon some figures shown by I
the reports of Mr. HoUeman for the j
past two quarters as indicativo of
the State's sound financial standing |
during and at the elose of the pan
icky period. We append here a few
comparisons:
On September 16th the banks of
tho 'Stat? hud reported loans and
discounts $39,519,407.24; on De
cember 16, $32,348,203.98.
Cash in banks September 16th,
$1,961,240.01; on December 16th,
$2,873,667.54. F I ' v 'K
On September 16 there were in
dividual deposits amounting to $16,
617,913.76; on December 16, $16,
410,886.29.
Thus, loans and discounts de

lt's more convenient and a more
Blneas-like method than carrying
much currency with you, besides
gives one a little thrill of nride to

pay their bills. We ask you to

Individual deposits showed an in

Taken as a whole the banks of the
State are showing a rapid settling
down to norn -1 conditions, and the
showing ls equal to those of any
State, and far ahead of many.
Mr. Holleman will be greatly miss
ed in his visits over the State in
making his examination, especially
so here in Walhalla, where he was
born and raised. His hosts of friends
here, however, are glad that he has
been honored with the presidency
bf the Anderson bank, and we are
sure he will prove equal to all the
requirements of his new position.

I FIREMEN PERISH IN BLAZE.
Four Meet Death at Skyscraper Fire
la Now York City.
New York, Jan.. ll.-Four men?
three of them firemen, were killed,
and about $6,000,000 worth ot prop
erty destroyed by fire, which ruined
the 13-story Parker Building, nit
Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street
last night. The firemen are believed
to have gone down In the blazing
ruins when one of the floors fell,
but none of their comrades witness
ed their deaths.
The fire began on the sixth floor
of the building. Baffled by weak
water pressure ard bursting hose,
the firemen worked at great disad
vantage. Water could not be forced
above the eighth story. Falling
floors cut off the escape to the street,
not only of firemen, but of other oc
cupants, and they were rescued only
by the most daring work.
