Bamberg County — Koarse and Kearse, Bamberg. Barnwell County—Brown and Bu<h, Barnwell. Inspectors were also named for the three counties, as follows: Allendale ( ounty—Martin Lightsey, Fait fax; J. L. Augley, Allendale. Bamberg County—iH. F. Bamberg, chief, Bamberg; H. H. Kearse, Jr., as sistant, Olar; Hairy Eubanks, assist ant. (lovan. Barnwell County—E. ('. Matthews, chief, Blaekville; S. B. Moseley, as sistant, Barnwell; E. M. Harley, as sistant, Kl.tie; B. M. Han, assistant, Barnwell. Tho statement was made that the association will begin to make loans so n as the necessary hlank s Jan R obtained IJ. m the government. Of great interest to hank depositors in Barnwell County is the announce ment that all deposits up to $2,500 in Barnwell County’s three banks are now insured against less under the new deposit insurance that became ef fective Tuesday. This insurance is now in full force in The Bank of Barn- weeli, The Bank of Blaekville and The Bank of Williston, along with over 13,000 other banks in the United States. Only 141 banks in the nation’s entire system were found ineligible for this insurance, which is the result of President Roosevelt’s new banking laws. The Bank of Barnwell issued a statement thi s week that should also serve to strengthen the confidence of depositors in that institution. This statement shows that the surplus and reserve fund have been doubled—tho former from $2,500 to $5,000 and the latter from $1,500/to $3,000, with un divided profits of $1,501.25. Thus, the local bank easily met the rigid con ditions imposed by federal authorities before State banks could become mem bers of the federal insurance guaran tee. The people of Barnwell County are justly proud of their banking institu tions and of the progress they have made in the past several months.
