BANK EXAMINER TALKS ' f Stiyii Conditions Improving ?Dep vdlj * Aon of Only one Bank Will Los,. I "There never was a tiine in the' f ' history of South Carolina when Ciert, , I was a greater need for the solid ous' inrsg men of the State to keep their ' heads level and work together the ' help each other than at present," said State Bank Examiner James H. Craig. If folks will only keep their heads level an dwork together the( financial situation will readjust it-1 self, is his firm conviction. Other anr.i neighboring States have within the past few months had scores of bank failures and perhaps no State has had fewer failures than South Carolina. Conditions in this States have been la.-gely thg same as in other cottongrowing states Mr. C alg thinks the worst is nowover, as the banks and people have an app eolation of real conditions and tha! prospective borrowers ap-! preciate that when some banks advise that they are not making newloans that does not mean trouble.| Mr. Craig thinks the readjustment is In sight and has great hopes of the undertaking that Governor Cooper an-1 former Governor Manning "nave in mind with Mr. Baruch to bing new money into the State on a strict-1 ly business basis. Mr. Craig has been in the bank examiner's department for seven | years, first as assistant and now for. three years in actual charge. Deflation, as it is called, came all of aj 11^/lnn and f^llrn iT,>i nnn.Ab.. n n ,1 cuuucu cxiiu ivias , uuvi his chief undertaking has been to, keep things in good shape The record of only three failures in a year's time, in these times, is the highest test of results. The most effective! work of Mr. Craig has been in nurs-j in g back to real life and usefulness sick chickens. Sometimes this slck^ ness has been imaginary ? stage fright, so speak?but after it has been bv persuasion or even coercion! that he has made some officials real-1 ize their obligations and rehabilitate the banks. In son\e few instances consolidations or cummunitv bank help has been used, hut always the central idea has been to keep the banks going, serve the communities and work things out- If only one bank in the statp during the pasti year does Mr. Craig think the depositors will actually 4 lose deposits, and with three hundred active and going State banks, in these days of; "deflation," that means much. What it means more than anything else, J perhaps, is careful nursing and the, extension of optimism, because unless there be crookedness the banks of South Carolina, national as well as State, ar^ In good shape. The State banks now have actual resour-! eee of about two hundred million | dollars. This does not include the, large national banking institutions, j Craig visits every part of the State and he is satisfied there is a better understanking of real conditions and that things will movp along mor.^ normally because of this realiWIS IS 51 SB ISIS ESS?

They have been Khvins: curious! weather over in Itobeson county, if | reports are true. The Dillon Herald , says: "Perhaps one of the most remark-! able and phenonnnal snow storms' occurring in the southern section of North Carolina was witnessed at' Bear Swamp, between Buie, N. C-,' and Ilennert, N- C., last Sunday night. I "Conductor Vann, running on A.l C. L. No. 82 reports that there was| one and one half inches of snow in, this section when he passed through early Sunday morning. "It began to snow at about 9:30 p. m., and continued to do so until about 1:30 a. ru. The storm was accompanied by thunder and light-' ning and those living near by say1 it was violent and furious. ' "The area covered was nearly a mile in width and seemed to be confined almost entirely to the swamp section." | For a thunder storm to be accompanied by a big snow is something, new under the sun?though it is not recorded that the sun was shining, or above at that time. We suspect, however, that No. 82 ( was moving too fast on that Monday, morning for Condurtor Vann to tell! whether it was snow or hail that ] covered the ground in the swamp, or how long it had been falling. Per-haps the following account from the Charlotte Observer is nearer correct; "Lumberton, Feb. 28?The heaviest hail storm ever witnessed here-, abouts visited several sections of Robeson county early Sunday night.' "The hail covered the ground to a depth of six inches at Rennbrt and ' much of it was on the ground to-' day according to reports reaching1 Lumberton. The hail storm was| accompanied by an electrical storm ] The worst damage wrought was to tobacco plant beds."?Pee Dee Advocate.
