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 omsequence, a financial center as well. This is indeed gratifying to the booftera of a greater Walter- a, « boro, for there is possibly nothing that will do more to build up the town’s resources more effectively and quickly than good strong bank ing institutions. Many years ago, and not so many eitkar, far this has all happened in a generation, one small bank, the Wal- t?rboro Loan and Savings Bunk, did all the business of the town. In fact all the business of the town was ndt sufficient to make it a success and it o finally went under. Out of the ruins a new bank was organized, The Col leton Banking Company, with John F. Lucas as president. This bank prospered and made money, becom ing recognized as one of the strong est banking institutions in the State. Walterboro and Colleton county continued to develop, and in 19)2 it was thought the chances for a new bank were good, so a number of the leading business men of the town and county got together and the re sult was the organisation of the Fanners and Merchants Bank, with a capital stock of $15,000. R. H. Wichman has been its president all along. From the outset this bank prospered and made money for its stockholders, till now it has an envi able position on the roll pf 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 way did it injure the other bank, The Colleton Banking Company. In truth it seemed to help jt, for the deposits in the older bank, month by month, were larger than they bad ever been. This has kept up, as a study of the quarterly ’ reports will show. ‘ 8h Again it is thought tha town and county is rich enough to stand an other bank. IMa time it Is to be a Rational bank, with a capital stock of $$5,000.
