The bank’s organization result ed from a transction of a sort South Carolina has never witness ed before or since. People still marvel at the great expression of confidence evidenced by the orgin- al owners t>f the Bank of Charles ton, now The South Carolina Nat ional Bank. They were asked to subscribe to a capital stock of $2 million; they put up $89 million. The bank was organized at a time when the state was fighting to maintain its superiority as a world trading center. The state had seen much of its shipping lost to Savannah and the steamships of the North. It had seen the eco nomic capitals shifting father and father away from South Carolina. Only the Charleston branch of the Second Bank of the United States had the power and boldness to supply the banking to carry South Carolina’s cotton and rice to their European markets. And even this bank in Its decline, for Presi dent Andrew Jackson was already writing its death sentence. If they were to stimulate trade, the business leaders of 1834 knew their first requisite was a good bank. It is interesting to note that books of subscription were opened in five towns: Charleston, Coluin- bia, Camden, Cheraw and Ham burg. The town of Hamburg, which is known in history today because it was the northern terminus of the first steam passenger railroad (The Best Friend) was, interesting ly enough, more receptive to the new bank to the then-phenomenal railroad. Reason for this was that Ham burg had been set up as a river port, for the sole purpose of rob bing Augusta, Ga., of its trade. Hamburg’s builder, a remarkable though thwarted figure, refused to give up his dream of extensive traf fic on the Savannah River. Like him, the people of Hamburg failed to subscribe to the railroad, but they did buy 5,949 shares of bank stock. Although many persons regarded Hamburg as a great hope for South Carolina, the town failed to develop into a rival for Augusta and eventually dropped into ob- N. H.

Mr. Summers had made his home in Columbia since about 1900, when he arrived from New berry- He was born at Chapin on October 17, 1884, the son of the late Cummings Ada Shealy and John W. Summers. In the early days of the automobile industry, Mr. Summers operated one of the first garages in Columbia. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Jennie Reynolds Summers, a sister, Mrs. J. B.

The Bank of Charleston, on the other hand, justified to the fullest the confidence placed in it by the state. Four years after its formal organization it was the strongest] in the state. By the eve of the War Between the States, it was re garded as the most successful and respected of the state banks throughout the union. Although the four years of the Confederacy nearly destroyed the Bank, it managed to reopen in 1869, and three years later, it be came a national bank. In the 20th century, The South Carolina National Bank has made a large contribution toward the growth of the state, through the establishment of banks answering the needs of retail and wholesale trade, industry, commerce and agriculture, said John A. Camp bell, Jr., president. South Carolina National Banks are located at Anderson, Belton, Charleston, Cheraw, Columbia, Dil lon, Florence, Fort Jackson, Georgetown, Greenville, Jackson, Leesville, Naval Base, Newberry, Pickens, St. Matthews, Seneca and Sumter.
