There are thousands of nice young men out in the wood* and bushes with spyglasses hunting for new worms and flies. Uncle Sam d<e«n’t need any new w rms or flies, but he’s spending several millions * f' dollars-a-way every month—princi pally because somebody wanted those job*. and that together with B small rain in Texas, caused July to recede to a new lew for the season.

If the government would abolish the «tock exchange and convert it into crap-shooting and poker-playing, the same result would be obtained, as the gamblers would •till be gambling. The only trouble about that would be—some arrange ment would have to be made to trans port southern muckers and western lambs to the gambling den—where they could continue to be “nursed dry.

Local and Personal * News of Blackville Blackville, May 14.—Mrs. T- L- Wragg was hostess to the Regular Announcing the Opening of The Bank of Blackville of Blackville, S. C. Capital and Surplus $ 13.500 STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT: Having been encouraged by the magnificent showing which the Bank of Harnwell has made, managed cn a stand, economical basW, and the splen did ccoperation and appreciation which hair been *hown by the people of Barnwell on account of.my parti cipation in the (rganization of The Bank of Barnwell, and believing in the future possibilities cf the county a* a whole, I have consented to head The Bank of Blackville, with full faith a nd confidence in the future of this section. I desire to see sound banking facili- tia* established throughout my adopt ed county. We have proven that sound hanking can be done, and this is what the people want, even though the bank profits are «maH, and even though exchange and service charges must be made. My experience is that people want safety FIRST. Banking cannot be done in these times on the. ?arne principles a* heretofore—con ditions have changed. When people deposit their money in a bank, they want to know that it is either safe in the vaults, or, if invested, that it is in securities or leaps that are worth one hundred cent? on the dollar at all/ times. Thi g is just exactly how I propose to run The Bank of Blaek- vijle. This is the way I run my own business. ‘ If the peddle of Blackville will co operate with me I will build you a big ?trong, sound, local btrnk, for the benefit of the c^mmimity, which I hope and believe can be built into cne of the leading centers of the l&fr country. ^ C'. G. FULLER, President. The Capital Stock of The Bank of Blackville has been fully subscribed and paid in and the doors of the bank were opened for business in the ojd Bank of Western Carolina building Monday morning, Ma^ 16. The business men who have put their money into this institution have done so • wf .First: Because they believe that no community can prosper, or even continue to do business, without adequate banking facili- ties •„ > Second: Because they believe that ^they can render a distinct service to the Community at this time.. • • » . ......... —» A -i. ... Third: Because they and the general public of this section desire a safe place in which to keep their money. SAFETY Don’t deposit money in The Bank of Blackville for sentimental reasons. If you have money and want it kept safely—so that you can get it when you warif it—we will render you every safe banking accommoda tion. We are putting our money in the bank for. Blackville’s sake—to build the community—and because we know it will be safe... The Bank Is Care of ment; C. G. FULLER, President EDGAR A. BROWN, Vice-Pres. PERRY A. PRICE, Cashier D, Asst.
