Dm OM Stato lawk BuUdktg in CKwrow, built 1833, had th® only banking facilities for
fddiwh of 1m Pww D®« section. It wont out of oxistonce in 1865.
OLD STATE BANK BUILDING, CHERAW
The Old State Bank Building, just
off the Town Green in Cheraw, was
built in 1833 to house the Mer
chant's Bank of South Carolina.
The building was designed by a Mr.
Stinemets, who moved from Phila
delphia to Cheraw in the 1800’s and
it was constructed by Peter Conlaw
Lynch, father of Bishop Lynch,
Roman Catholic bishop of South
Carolina. Opened in 1834, it afforded
the only banking facilities for Pee
Dee residents in North and South
Carolina. The Merchants Bank was
the largest bank in South Carolina
outside of Charleston before the
War Between the States.
The Cheraw bank, a state bank,
issued its own notes, many of which
are still in existence. Due to the
scarcity of silver dollars at that
time, notes of odd denominations
were issued, as well as the regular
denominations. Notes for six, seven,
ight and nine dollars were not un-
tnmon. These notes pictured the
seal of South Carolina in the middle,
with an artist’s conception of John
C. Calhoun as a Roman senator at
the left, and a design of palmetto
trees, a railroad train and a steam
ship to the right.
In 1863, legislation amended the
South Carolina banking laws, so
that banks could send their gold to
the Confederate treasury. Gold
from the Merchants Bank was sent
to Richmond, where the metal was
exchanged for Confederate bonds.
When Lee surrendered to Grant,
the Cheraw bank collapsed because
the notes could not be redeemed.
Presidents of the Merchants Bank
in Cheraw were: J.C. Coit (1834-
1838) (1865-1867), James Wright
(1838-1866), J. Eli Gregg (1867-
1869), and William Godfrey (1859-
1866).
The bank Is now a tourist home
the “Cheravian,” owned and op
erated by Mrs. Henry Harrell.

Mother And Son
Bitten By Cat
At Playground
Mrs. Duncan Johnson and 11-
months-old son, Gordon, were
both bitten on the leg by a cat at
the College Street playground
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Johnson, whose place of
business is just across the street
from the playground, killed the
cat, because he feared that the
animal was mad, and that
others might be bitten.
The cat was taken to health
authorities to determine if the cat
was diseased. Dr. Ben Wyman of
the State Health department said
it would take some time to find
out whether the animal was af
flicted. He said whenever pos
sible it is best to capture animals
alive that have bitten people, and
turn them over to the health de
partment for inspection. In this
way it is easier to determine
whether the bite of an animal is
of serious consequence.
