$26,250 IN DIVIDNDS. To Be Paid Today By the Corporations of the City. There will be paid ii dividends today $26,250 and mo:t of it will go to our own people as they are largely the stockholders in the local enterprises. The Newberry Cotton Mill will pay a 5 per cent semi-annual divi dend on a capital stock of $400,000, amounting to $16,ooo. The National Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend on the capi tal stock of $150,ooo, amounting to $6,ooo.. The Newberry Savings Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend of 31 per ceiit on the capital stock of $50,ooo, amountiig to $1,750. The Commercial Bank will pay a semi-annual dividend of 3.1 per cent on its capital stock of $5(t- 1o, atiout ining to $i,750. 'T'lhe 3ank of Prosper;ty Vill pay a semi-annual dividend of 3 Per ceit onl its capit.i stock of $25,oo0, aiounting to $750. The People's National Bank of Prosperity, but recently organized, will not declare a dividend at this time, but the business of the bank has been entirely satisfactory and even better than the promoters an -ticipated. The Mollohon Manutacturing company would have declared a dividend but for the fact that the capacity of the mill has just been doubled, and that is an assurances of success even greater than a divi dend, to be able so soon after the enterprise was launched to double the capacity. Newberry needs some more divi dend declaring institutions which at the same time give employment to people, Committees For 1904. Nla or Juo.
