THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
Faith in the South
and courage to
back it
It took courage to turn more than a
hundred million dollars of the earn
ings of this railroad back into the
property without paying a dividend
for thirty years. It required foresight
to insure the wisdom of such courage.
Fafth in the South stood back of this
program. Now, after thirty years,
this faith has borne its fruit.
The South is prosperous. The South
ern Railway has come into its own,
and Southern Railway securities are
taking their rightful place in the in
vestment markets.

morning while in bathing in a deep
creek. It appeared that the oldest

a plunge, and the youngest not being
able to swim, went down and the
other boy was forced under also when
trying to save his young companion.
Some very small children who were
looking on while the boys went under
reported the affair by saying that
the boys were hiding from them under
the water and refused to come out.

scene and found the body of one of
the boys, but the other body has not
been recovered.

TRIES TO WRECK BANK.
Anonymous Letter Caused Quite a
Flurry in Orangeburg.
Orangeburg, .July 24th. ? Quite a
flurry of excitement was caused here
today when it became known that a
number of anonymous letters had
been received by various persons both
in this city and the surrounding coun
try to the effect that the "Orange
burg Bank was broke and would close
in a few days."
This bank is the oldest in this sec
tion and has been always looked up
on as a financial Gibraltar.
A considerable number of persons
gathered around the doors of the bank
and some deposits were withdrawn,
but the institution continued to trans
act business in its usual manner. A
number of deposits were received and
some new accounts were opened. The
bank has a large cash reserve and un
hesitatingly paid all checks presented.
The three other banks in the city as
sured the Orangeburg National Bank
that they would render assistance if
needed, but this was not necessary.
The officers of the Federal Reserve
Bank notified the officials of the bank
that a large sum of currency was be
ing forwarded from Richmond and
would be received tomorrow morning
by the time the bank opened.
The larger depositors seemed sat
isfied of the soundness of the bank
and are not worrying themselves.
The bank immediately offered a
reward of one thousand dollars for
the apprehension of the person or
persons responsible for the messages,
and the Governor will be asked to sup
plement this reward.
The postoffiee authorities were
notified, as well as other officials, and
it is said that detectives are already
upon the ground to ferret out the per
petrator of the anonymous letter.
The public seems to think that it ?
is the work of some disgruntled per
son who is mad with the bank or sortie
of its officers.
The comptroller of the treasury
has notified the bank that one of the
national bank eaminers will be here
tomorrow to assist. The officers have^
issued a statement that the bank has
ample funds to pay all reasonable de
mands.
