The organization of a new bank for Walterboro serves to emphasize the fact that is getting to be quite a a banking center, and necessarily as a consequence, a financial center as well. This is indeed gratifying td the boosters of a greater Walter boro, for there is possibly nothing that will do more to build up the token’s resources more effectively and quickly than good strong bank ing Institutions. Many years ago, and not so many / eithor, far this has all happened in a generation, one small bank, the Wal- tntoro Loan and Savings Bank, did all the busineas of the town. In fact all the business Of the town was not B c*» auflfcient to make it a success and it finally went under. Out of the ruins a new banlt was organized. The Col leton Banking Company, with John F. Lucas as president. This bank prospered and made money, becom ing recognised as one of the strong- eat banking institutions in the State. a Walterboro and Colleton county continued to develop, and in 19)2 it was thought the chances for a new bank were good, to a number of the leading busineas men of the town and county got together and the re- sult was the organisation of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, with a capital stock of $15,000. R. H. Wichman has been its president all aloag. From the outset this bank 4 * prospered and made money for its stockholders, till now it has an envi able position on the roll of honor of *' the State banks. A peculiar fact in connection with the organisation and growth of this second bank was the fact that in no sray did it injure the other bank, The Colleton Banking Company. In troth it seemed to help it, for the deposits in the older bank, month by month, were larger than they had ever been. This has kept up, as a stndy of the quarterly reports wiU ■bow. < Again it is thought the town and i Jo stand fthcrlpink. This time it Is to be a national bank, with a atodc of $95,000. The promoters of this even worse now on account of the heavy and continued rains. Your writer reached Bedon Bap-; tist church Sunday in time to hear a very interesting and plain gospel sermon preached to a large and at tentive congregation, by Rev. S. W’. Ackerman. After the sermon, as sisted by their beloved pastor. Rev. Craven, they performed the beauti ful and solemn rites of ordination upon E. E. Easterlin, their well chosen deacon for that church. Mr. Easterlin is the superintendent of a large and growing Sunday school at that place. He is assisted by a well chosen corps of teachers, whose faithful work in training the young spirits cannot and will not fail to bring good results in the end. The writer’s attention was especially interested when the Bible class was called by their teacher, Miss Edith Easterlin. It was good to see most of the young men and some older ones with as many Young ladies come forward and give all attention to a most forceful application of the les son. Oh! her responsibilities and opportunities are almost boundless.
