DEBATE ON THE BANK QUESTION
SPEECH OF Mr.. MARSHALL,
OF IBBEvILLE.
Mr.. Marshall said

Mr.. Marshall said
He Hoped the position he had taken a
eainst the Bank Of the State, would not be
construed into all opposition to the officers
ofthat institution; for he entertained, he said,
the highest personal regard for those Of them
with whom he was acquainted; nor would
he pretend to impeach the wisdom Of those
who conceived that they were comforting a
blessing on their distressed feow-citzens,
whcn,in 1912, they established this Ban nk--a
Bank based upon The peoples treasuryj for, in
such case, he would not ony be doing inlus.
tice to the memories of the distinguished
dead, but he would also do great violence
to his own feelings, were he, by word or &C
ton, TO attempt to tarnish the reputation OF
that eminent citizen, (the Hon. Joseph
BIack) who has Justly been called the father
of that institution, and who so long and ably
represented the citizens Of Abbcville District,
of whom, the Hon. Senator said, but he
was, at present, himself, the humble repre-.
sent alive; but he contended, he said, that
the causes which led to the establishment OF
that institution did not now exist and that
it was high time that the question OF the re-.
charter Of the Bank oft State should be
settled. If the question were postponed
until those who were deeply interested in
rivcting and perpctuating this incubus on
the Treasury. chose TO make the application
we should then be met by the Bank argu-
ment, that the vast and various assets, both
public and private, Of the Bank were so
complicated, that time and extended time
would be required TO wind up its concerns
that If the Bank were closed at tie exPIra-
ton of its charter, large circulating medium
would be Withdrawn, and distress be brought
upon the agricultural community by i'm
mcnse law. suits and Sheriff 8 sales.
In answer to thus argument. the Hon.
Senator admitted that time would be requlr.
ed, and it was this very time, which the adj
