NEARLY A MILLION DOLLARS
On Deposit in Williamsburg
Banks Shown by Statements.
No better indication of the gereral
prosperity of this and adjoining
counties could be found than by the
showing made in the form of deposits
of the seven banks, whose quarterly
statements are published in
this issue of The Record. An inspection
of these statements shows
that the three banks in Kingstree
have $469,982.21 ? nearly a half
million dollars?on deposit.
The seven banks in the county (including
the Farmers and Merchants
Bank at Lake City and its branches,
one of which branches is at Johnson
ville, in Williamsburg county),
show a grand total of $784,224.02?
nearly a million dollars?on deposit
in what used to comprise old Wil- j
liamsburg.
We congratulate all these banks
on their admirable showing, indicating,as
it does,that the people are by
no means "broke,'' notwithstanding
an occasional cry of "hard times."
Sale of Warehouse Property.
Pursuant to a resolution recently
adopted by the stockholders of the
Kingstree Warehouse Company, all
the property belonging to 3aid company
was sold at public auction in
front of the court house here at
a r 1 mi ./r
noon xnonaay. ine property imered
for sale consisted of one lot on
Brooks avenue and the dilapidated
building located thereon, formerly
known as Gorrell's warehouse, and
for the past two years operated by,
Mr M R Gass, manager, as a tobacco
warehouse, also several lots in
North Kingstree on one of which is
located a large frame structure
originally erected in 1909 as a warehouse
for the sale of leaf tobacco.
This is in bad repair and of no value
beyond the worth of the old materials.
These lots and old materials,
lumber, brick and tin, were sold as
a whole for the amount of the upset
bid which was $6,500, Hon R H
Kellahan being the purchaser.
It is the present intention of Mr
Kellahan to build a large brick
warehouse upon the site of the old
Gorrell warehouse so as to have it

tobacco season this year. i
The sale Monday wipes out all
that remained of the Kingstree Tobacco
Warehouse Co as an organization,
which had its beginning in the
spring of 1909. The company has
been unfortunate, inasmuch as their
warehouse investments resulted in a
loss of about 70 per cent of the
capital invested.
ADnouDcemeot!
The is to inform my friends and
che tobacco planters throughout
Williamsburg county that I will
have a new warehouse in Kingstree
for the coming tobacco season and
will be here early in May to advise j
with and assist them in any way I j
can to make the coming season the j
most successful and profitable in |
the history of the tobacco business
in this section.
Kingstree gentlemen are going to
build me an up-to-date warehouse
and I believe that I will be in a
better position to handle your tobacco
during the coming season
than ever before. Present prospects
are that tobacco will bring
good prices again this year, and I
mean to do everything in my power
to help the planter and for the betterment
of the Kingstree market.
I will have with me in the new
warehouse an ample and competent
force to handle your tobacco and
look after your interest.
With best wishes for your success,
and soliciting a share of your busi
ness, I am,
Very truly yours,
It MR Gass.
