President Anderson
* ♦
Makes Personal Sur
vey Of C. & W. C.
The Anderson Independent of
January 23rd says:
Much speculation attaches to a
survey of the branch line of the
C. & W. C. railroad, recently by
President A. W. Anderson, which
may be the forerunner of some
track and other improvements
since the leasing of that road to
the Atlantic Coast Line.
President Anderson came to Mc
Cormick in his private car, alight
ed and made a close inspection of
the C. & W. C. line from that point
to Anderson, covering the distance
aboard an open motor car, or mo
torized handcar. Although the
weather was bad Mr. Anderson did
not postpone his trip but braved
the elements to make his survey
to Anderson. From here he went
to Greenville via P. & N., his priv
ate car having been carried up the
mainline to that point.
No comment was made by Mr.
Anderson regarding plans for im
provement on the branch line. It
is significant, however, that addi
tional ballast is being put down
along the tracks, and that only a
few miles of the light rails remain
to be replaced. The large main
line locomotives have come as far
up the line as Starr, and as soon
as the heavier rails are put down
from a point north of Starr to
Anderson, the heavier engines can
complete runs from McCormick to
this city.
It is considered probable that
there will be improvements of the
branch line’s service, as it is
known that Mr. Anderson is in
terested in giving this city the
best service possible, and improve
ments may be possible under the
Atlantic Coast Line'lease.

Mrs. Rebecca Felton
Dies In Atlanta
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 25.—Mrs.
Rebecca Latimer Felton, the only
woman ever to hold a seat in the
United States senate, and pioneer
temperance worker and author, is
dead at the age of 94.
She died in a hospital here
shortly before last midnight suf
fering froni bronchial pneumonia.
She had contracted a cold on a
trip to Altanta last week from her
Cartersville, Ga., home in the in
terest at the Georgia Training
School for Girls, but did not submit
to treatment until she had com
pleted her mission.
The senatorship, which she held
for a period of 22 hours in Novem
ber 1922 upon appointment by
former Governor Thomas Hard
wick, was her only public offifce,
but in that brief time she made a
dramatic speech upon the floor of
the senate which attracted na
tional interest. She had cam
paigned for Governor Hardwick,
Senator Tom Watson whose death
made the vacancy which she filled
and her husband, the late Dr. W.
H. Felton, who. served several
terms in congress.
From her farni home “the grand
old lady of Georgia” led a “simple
life,” but continued to be active in
politics until her death. She was
a vigorous supporter of former
Governor Alfred E. Smith in his
race for the presidency on the
Democratic ticket.
In the 1928 campaign she said:
“I was a pioneer in temperance
work in this state (Georgia) and
joined the W. C. T. U. forty years
ago. If I am not the oldest of
militant temperance women of the
early days I am certainly the old
est in point of age. So far as pos
sible I have held the banner high
for nearly half a century. When
I enlisted in the organization it
was non-political. I am grieved to
know that some Georgia women
are now dragging a clean, white
and much honored organization in
he mire and filth of dirty poli-
ics in a mud slinging campagn.”

COLUMBIA, Jan. 25.—Three
South Carolina banks, two in
Greenville county and one in
Oconee county, were closed this
morning, State Bank Examiner
Albert S. Fant announced here.
The Bank of Woodville and the
Citizens Bank of Taylors, both in
Greenville county, and the Seneca
Bank, in Oconee county, were
placed in the hands of the state
bank examiner by their directors.
Robert I. Woodside, of Green
ville, is president of the Woodville
and Taylors banks. R. S. Ballen-
ger is president of the Seneca
Bank.
The Bank of Woodville was cap
italized at $10,000 and the Taylors
bank at $25,000. Deposits in the
two institutions totalled approxi
mately $100,000, Mr. Fant said.
“I have the personal guarantee
of the Woodside brothers,” Mr.
Fant said, “that the depositors of
these two banks will be paid in
full. All three banks are small in
stitutions and because of their size
it was decided to liquidate at
once.”
The Seneca Bank was capitalized
at $20,000 and its deposits total
“more than $400,000,” Mr. Fant
said. This bank has enough cash
available, the examiner said, to
pay $100,000 or 25 per cent to its
depositors at once. Mr. Fant ex
pressed the belief that all three
banks would be able to pay deposi
tors in full.
Representatives of the state
bank examiner are in charge of
each of the banks.

Winthrop Had
Large Deposit
COLUMBIA, Jan. 25.—The big
open account bank deposit of Win
throp College, to which Governor
Richards referred in his annual
message to the legislature, and
about which there has been much
whispering in the halls of the leg
islature, came to light Tuesday af
ternoon at a joint sitting of the
ways and means committee of the
house and the finance committee
of the senate, and it proved to
be one of the most intensely
dramatic legislative sittings this
year.
It was brought out that for ten
years and more Winthrop Col
lege had kept on deposit in the
Union Savings Bank of Rock Hill,
of which W. J. Roddey a trustee
of the college, is president, being
an “open” account, without the
benefit of interest a sum in ex
cess of $200,000.
The money had been deposited
by the late Dr. D. B. Johnson,
president and founder of the col
lege, and had been used by him
in the operation and expansion of
the institution. For years there
was no security for the deposits
made by the college in two Rock
Hill banks. Today they are pro
tected by surety bonds.
Som(e members of the two com
mittees stated that while it might
have been an error of judgment,
there was no ordium attached to
it, and the accumulation of such
a large amount from the earnings
of the college, in fees charged stu
dents, was due to the fact that
Dr. Johnson’s plans for using the
money in the expansion of the col
lege had been hampered by his ill
health in the last years of his life.
Appearing before the committee
to discuss the college finance and
especially the 1930 budget were
President J. P. Kinard, Alexander
M. Graham, the college bursar and
R. E. Wylie, Mrs. Daniel and Mrs.
Stuckey .members of the board of
trustees.
“If any blame could.be attached
to this situation then, it would rest
on Dr. Johnson,” said Mr. 'Wylie,
near the end of the discussion,
‘and everybody knows that Dr.
Johncon was too good to do any
vrong. He had a dream for the
’ollege and wanted to use that
money to carry out his plans, but
lis death cut it off.”
It was brought out that students
are charged $20 a month for board
and lodging, fuel and lights and
Tom this and other fees the coi-
ege had saved the fund in ques
tion.
