    CITIZENS & SOUTHERN NAT. BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA v. CONNER
    (11 S. E. (2d), 271)
    
      June, 1940.
    
      
      Mr. S. Henry Bdmunds, for appellant,
    
      Messrs. Hagood, Rivers & Young, for respondent,
    October 30, 1940.
   The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Baker.

The sole question raised by this appeal, as stated by appellant, is: “Where a state bank was named as a co-executor and trustee under a will, and duly qualified thereunder as such co-executor and entered upon the discharge of its duties as such, and subsequently was converted into a national bank, did the national bank continue as the co-executor and the trustee, with the right and power to continue so to act?”

The carefully prepared order of Honorable Wm. H. Grim-ball, Judge of the Ninth Circuit, correctly answers this question in the affirmative. Let said order be reported^ as the opinion of this Court.

Mr. Chiee Justice Bonham, Messrs. Justices Fishburne and Stukes and Mr. Acting Associate Justice L. D. LidE concur.
