Situation Better Mr. Craig Thinks Statt Bank Examiner Says Worst Now Over?Three e> Failures in Year Columbia. March 18.?"Thin- nev ? er was a Maes in tin history of tenth Carolina when there was a greater need for the nolid bueinesa men of the state to keep their heads, look ahead with optimiam ami help each other than at present." said State Bank Examiner James II. Cralg. If folks will cnly keep their heads level and work together the financial situa? tion will readjust itself, is his firm conviction. Other and neighboring states have within the past few months had scores of bank failures, and perhaps no state has had fewer failures than South Carolina. Condi? tions in this state have ?neu largely the same as in other cotton-growing stat? l - Mr. Craig thinks the woixt is now over, as the banks ami people have an appreciation of real conditions an.I that prospect j borrowers appreciate that when some banks advise that they aro not making new loans that does not mean trouble. Mr. Crai'j thinks the readjustment is in sight and has great hopes of the under? taking that Governor Cooper and fortner Governor Manning have in tuffid with Mr. I'.aruch to bring new atbney Into the ?t?te on a strictly uu-ni"-? basis. Mr. t'ruig hss been in the bank ex? aminer's department for se\en years, first e.s assistant ami now for three year* in actual chanrc. Deflation, a* It IS call? d. came all of a sudden and folks got panicky, and his chief un dertsklrg has been to keep things n good shape. The 11 cord of only three failures In a year's turn'. in these times, is the highest test of results. The most effective work of Mr. Craig has been In ggrslnc back to real iife and' usefu'ness sick chickens. Some? time this sickness lias been imag? inary?stage fright, so to speak?but after It has been by persuasion or even coercion that he has made some officials realise their obligations and rehabilitate the hanks, in some fans Instsnees consolidations or community bank help has been used, but always the central Idea has been to keep the banks going, serve the communities ind work things out. In only one bank In the state during the past year goes Mr. Cralg think the depositor! will actually lose deposits, and with three hundred active and going state t?enk?. in these days of "deflation/ that means much. What it means more than anything else, perhaps, I? careful musing and the extension ot optimism, because unless there be crookedness the banks of South Caro? lina, national as well as state, aro n good shape. The state banks now have actual resources of about t.vo hundred million dollars. This does not Include the large national banking In? stitut tonn Mr. Criig visits every ?art of the '?tat*- and he is satisfied there is a better understanding of real condi? tions and that things will move alor.g more normally because of this real? isation tbat there has got to be a spirit of toleration and cooperation With freih money coming Into the ?t?te tri h which to financ e QOttOS and clos? sailing Mr. Craig sees no reason w'.iy conditions should not ac? tually improve.
