an institution in which manufactur
ers and business men of the Soutli
will themselves be largely interested.
A general banking and trust busi
ness will be conducted and interest
paid on deposits, subject to check.
The company is a legal depository
for State and court funds and is au
thorized to act as guardian, trustee
or executor.
Another branch of its business will
)e the savings fund feature, for the
deposit of savings, on which a liberal
rate of interest is paid.
The institution will be conducted
solely in the interests of Southern
enterprises, it the same time keeping
u touch, through one or more of its
trustees, with Northern and Western
nterests, in order to abtain the best
results.

It is therefore not necessary to
speak of the wonderful development
of the South in recent years, along
every line, yet this is but a small
beginning of what will take place in
the almost immediate future, and it
is imperative that greater facilities
be given the business community in
the way of obtaining capital, and the
charter of the company is a broad
and liberal one, enabling it to fully
answer all requirements, and no
doubt it will grow to be the leading
financial institution of this section.
The mill or business man who must
of necessity negotiate loans, as busi
ness however conducted, must at
some time find recourse in such ac
tion, will appreciate the benefits of
the existence oi t strong trust com
pany, in which be himself is a ttick
holder, to whom he can apply for
funds, knowing that the institution
is fully conversant witli his business
affairs, and will serve him liberally,
and with full knowledge that the
profits arising from such busimss
will revert to him as a stockholder,
in like proportions to his holdings
And thus it is that the links of the
magic chain of Industry connecting
Gaffney and Charlotte are beinf;
formed. With the best brain of the
two most progressive towns in the
Carolinas thus yoked together for the
upbuilding of the section they repre
sent it will not be many years before
the bud of the industrial rose wll
be in full bloom and the fragrance of
its perfume will be a pleasant aroma
to all mankind. May the ties that
bind continue to grow in strength
until they are so strongly united that
there can be no severance

For Brain Fag
Loss of mental energy, lack of thought
power, failing memory or inability to con
centrate the mind on the work in hand,
there is nothing so good as Dr. Miles’
Nervine. Its powerful influence in build
ing up and strengthening the broken-down
nerves, makes this great remedy an inval
uable brain-food and restorative. It nour
ishes, fortifies and refreshes the tired and
worn-out brain and gives new strength,
new life, and new energy to the system.
“My nerves were debilitated, and I had
much dullness, confusion of thought and
inability to perform accustomed brain
work. After severe mental effort I would
be so overcome and weak that my stomach
was greatly deranged. Hearing of Dr.
Miles’ Nervine I began taking it; and I
truly believe a good share of the nerve
energy I have since enjoyed is due to its
influence.” Rev. L. Steere,
Douglas, Wyom.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
Adds renewed force to the system, puts a new light in the eye, gives new firmness to the
step and new life to the mind. Now is the time to try It.
