The growth of hanks in this county
has been remarkable. Fourteen
years ago there was only one bank
•Ift iu? entire county, the Colleton
Banking ^OlPpany, and now ther»
are eight. All of thert have rhOtH
. remarkable growth. Ihd although
the number has increased steadily,
yet^ the net earnings and resources
of all hare kept pace, even though
the county has recently passed I
through v^ry strlngeut '7nancial con,
* ditlons. . ' ^
'ft* Th * oldest bank horf. the Colleton
Hanking Comban/N of which Mr Jno.

hank In the countv. ‘ It was oriranl
zed In 15*02, and Mf R. H. Wtch-

The latest hank in *Walterhoro Is
the First Nhtional Bank, with Judge

Mr. C. n. Padm'tt, cashier This hank
was organized ip 15>12. and the

capital Is $25,000. which will soon
be Increased to *50,000. It has re
sources of $172,273.38. and deposits
$77,000 This hank has grown at

All of the Waiterboro hanks have
largo sums in theW surplus and un
divided profits accounts and Are ex
tremely prosperous, with ah, excolv
lent standing with other hanks and
financial houses. Each of them has
paid large-dividends this year.
Besides these hanks above, thore
are five others in th»» countv as fol

with Mr. C. F Rixer. president and
Mr. B. K..Sanders, cashier; the Bank
of Ruflfn. at RufAn. with Mr. II n.

“Sonic Comparisons
“Winston-Salem is supplying one-
fourth of ail the ch»*wing and -smok
ing tobacco consumed in the United
"States, besides exporting vast quan
tities to foreign lands. This state
ment is taken from the Report of
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue for the first quarter of the
present fiscal year and -from private
ahvices from Washington, as to the
second^quarter wJiieh ended Decem
ber 31st, last,
“Your city is making one-seventh
of ail tobacco products—chewing
and Smoking tobacco, cigars, cigar
ettes and snuff manufactured in the
'United State*. Yotnr* manufacturers
are paying on an average about
$37.<*<*0 a day revenue taxes to the
government, and the amount la In
creasing from month to month.
When yn/ir government'^ building,

was completed last July at a oosVof

statement "that the taxes paid in
Vour city to Uncle Sim for the first
eight days of its oediipancy would
pay for it. Since September, it has
taken only a fraction over seven
average days collections here to
equal its cost.. So far this week,
Mr. Crawford has taken in $206.-

ly payments to the government on
toacco will more than pay for this
magnificent building,, leaving the
collections for the other fifty-one

The above Is a reproduction, by courtesy of The Charleston Evening Post, of the proposed new rail
road trom St. Stepbeus to Yemassee. This road Is receiving considerable agitation at this tim\ and :«
lb the belief in many Circles that it will be bunt. If this road is built it will mean a saving for th<
through trains of the Atlantic Co •'.st Line of approximately 35 miles, and would be a very economical
road to construct. It would be practically free from all 1 grades, and would open up a very fertile anl rki
section of the country. ’ . .‘ - *. •
The Charleston Evening Post states that “local officials of the Atlanj^c Coast line railroad are no
admitting that rufhored plans of the road to build a short cut from St. Stephens to Yemassee. are ‘not* ql!
talk,’ but there is evidence in official quarters to indicate that the construction of the shprt cut may l>-
begun In the very near futu?e.’’ ’ . •.
, The Waiterboro Chamber of Commerce is keeping in close touch with the situation and shall at th-
proper,time render all assistance to the railroad authorities in the building of the proposed road. Sue!,
a road will be worth a great deal to Waiterboro and to this county, and no efforts will be spared to brin.'
about a construction of the road. / .
