TO his QGlleS. nc SUlIlilitteC lEereloIe icC-
commended that the office of Outdoor Clcrs,
in the Branch Bank at Camden, be abolished.
The indebtedness Of the Directors amount to
the sum of twenty thousand, eight hundred and
fifty dollars, 1920, ,s50,) bring an average OF
of four thousand, one hundred and seventy dol
lars, (S1ITO) to each. The officers of the Bank
are indebted the sum Of ten thousand two hun
dred and two dollars TO,202) Both these
sums are well scared, and seem to the Com
mitce to be reasonable in amount.
The Committee cannot but feel, that their
duties have been somewhat imperfectly, done un-
less they had subjected erery entry in the books,
to the closest scrutiny. The magnitude of
such an undertaking, that would have furnished
Tor the committee the same employment al
most as constitutes the dntics Of al officers OF
the Bank for the whole year, has forced the
Committee to deal with results, instead items
leading to them. These have been furnished
by the officers of the Bank with the utmost
courtscy, and also all such copies from their
books as have been requested. The high
character sustained by the gentlemen who
have the management OF its business, is sat
isfactory assurance that their official duties
arc discharged with ability and fidclity-and
the Committee have relied implicitly upon I'll
such explanations as they have been requested
to make, and upon the statements that have
been furnished. The books were freely open
ed for inspection whenever called for, and bore
evidence of having been kept in Il business like
manner. The cash. rs reported, was carefully
counted and corresponGed strictly with the
amount charged,
The Committee, therefore, cannot hesitate
to believe that the books are faithful records OF
the results appearing from them, and may be
safely relied upon as exhibiting fairly the real
condition of the Bank In this belief, they
have adopted general statements, taken from
the books, without examining every item lead
ing to them, which would have been the labor
of perhaps whole year, instead of the time
usually devoted to such Investigations.
Al Of the Committee arc, tloweTer, perfectly
satisfied that there was no need for such OK
tremc particularly, and that their report will
place before the legislature all the facts neccs-
sary for that body to form correct opinion as
to tile actual condition of this Branch.
In conclusion, the Committee cannot with
hold the expression Of their opinion that the
officers of this Branch Of the Bank Of the State
are diIgcnt, able and faithful, and in all re-
spccts worthy Of The continued confidence OF
the Legislature. ..

THE HOUSEHOLD GRAVES.
Ry PHOEBE CARY.


AWAY in that valley Of sunset light, -. .,..a .
Where the loveliest verdure OF summer waves
The neavy shadows have closed tonight
Ger the quiet place of our household graves
There the blue eyed violet meek and mild,
Looks sofy up when the spring-tIme glows;
And the dark leaved ivey is running wild
Under the shade of the damask rose.
And oft we think, as the dim eyes pass,
And shadow comes to my heart and brow
Whose sad foot falls on the quiet grass
What hand is tending the roses now!
From the starry blooms Of the mirtle vines,
Who gently pushes the leaves away!
And the silver thread which the spider twines,
Is broken through the livelong day!
Oh, know, in that valley, far away,
One heart still turns to its loved and gone;
And one step, grown sadder with every day,
Comes often now to the graves alone.
Sad mourner, left on that far off shore,
have stood in the shadow beside thee there
But my raven tresses arc swept no more, -
By the mournfnl flow OF thy silver hair!

RcporL Of The minority Of fAc CommH1cc dF'
poin'ed 10 Investigate The condition Of Me
Branch ofthe Bank Of The State, at Cdmdcn
A minority OF the committee appointed to
examine into the condition of the Branch Bank
of the State, at Camden, althoug fully concar-
ring in all that has been said in the report OF
the majority of said committee, beg leave to
submit an addition thereto, IN which that ma
ieriy do not concur.
This Branchshows an indebtedness to the moth
re Bank of lourhundrcd aud fifty seven thousand,
eigLt hundred and twelve dollars and eight
cents (S457,Sl2 OS) 10 individual depostors
of TWENTY-FIVE thousand one hundred and sixty
eight dollars, and forty three cents (S25, lGS.
43) making in all the sum Of four hundred and
eighty-two thousand nine huadred and eignty-
one dollars andfftycents (34Sl, $50 5l) lax
ing this latter sum as the amount employed IN
banking operations, the interestofit !oro one year
ut seven per cent would be thirty y-three thousand
eipht hundred ann eight dollars sixty three cents
1893 ,SOS G3g which sum, set oil against the
net profits, (twenty.six thousand and eighty
one dollars forty three ccnts) would show a
prolitless than seven per cent, of seven thousand
seven hundred and twenty seven dollars, twenty
cents (S7,127 2O) For this, neither the dIrec'
tors nor officers Of the bank are III anywise
culpahe, for it seems to be the necessary result,
which the incidental expenses ot the business
of banking bears to the small amount oil capl-
tai employed at Camden. lfthis be Increased,
it will necessarily abstract funds from Charles
ton or Columbia, and diminish profits there.
Besides, were there no expense at all TO DC
paid out of the profits at Camden, still those
profits could not be expected TO exceed seven
per cent, under the ordinary business ct that
branch, for it does not bank upon anything but
actual capital. 1t cannot, like other banks,
issue bills to higher amount, ana Dank upon
them, but is compelled to deal only "'til It's
capital, and not with its credit
Under these circumstances, notnln5 more
can be expected from the BrAnch at camden
than to realize seven per cent upon inc iuiu
sent TO il from Charleston, and from that to de!
duct the necessary expenses, to vii: SIX t,io"'
sand one hundred and thlrty-scven dollars.
This is inevitable, and seems TO minority oi
the Committee, very strong reason on ''ie
score of economy, for discontlnuInS the branch
at Camden, and in lieu thereof establishing al
agency there. =,
This arrangement we think will save to the
State. at least five thousand dollars year, and
will not narrow the accommodations OF that
section of country, injurious y. There Is an
other Bank at Camden, which, III the business
OF discounting notes, would be able to furnish
all the accommodations in that way, that would
be necessary-whilst the contemplated agency
of the Bank of the State, would still farther
increase the circulation, by discountng drafts

The Committee have no reason to doubt

and ten dollars of the notes, which are admit,
ted to be desperate. This sum bears so small
= proportion to the amount loaned, as to chal-
lenne a comparison with any OF the business
pursuits of men, whether in banking or other
wise. rs to the amount Of losses sustained III
their operations
The whole amount now outstanding, i'll
notes, bonds, and jud! ements, is four hundred
and sixty.eight thousand, one hundred and III,
ty.three dollars. This has been distributed
amongst five hundred and wentythree debtors,
averaging about eight hundred and ninety
five dollars to each. The largest debts are
due upon bonds, of which there are three III
number two of them, however, absorbing an
amount of the funds of the Bank very much
disproportioned to the other debtors.
These bond debts were contracted in 1874,
1885 and lS4O, respectively. Upon these, ve-
rv little more than the interest has yet been
paid, except one. upon which the balance oil
principal now due is little more than one
third of the original debt. The committee are
of opinion that these bonds should be collected
in as short time as just regard for the in
terests orth. debtors and the Bank will permit;
and have signifed to the President, thai
such steps should be taken as will ensure their
collection, in four equal annual instalments.
Although these debts are well secured, yet the
policy of permitting the funds Of the Bank to
remain for so long time in the hands OF one
or two individuals, whilst others may be ask.

The Committee deem it proper to bring to
the notice of the Legislature the salaries al

view of recommending certain p alterations
therein. =

If the last named officer is not altogether un'
necessary, las some of the committee belleve,)
he is at least very much overpaid. His scrvl-
ces are said to consist in protesting notes, CIV,
ing notices of notes running to maturity, and
performing some other Offices in the Bank,
no.requiring any great degree of either skill
or labor. Notares may always he found rea-
dy to perform the usual duties of that Office
for the customary fees, payable by the delln'
ouent debtors themselves, and who would be
very willing to relieve the Bank from the ex-
pense of paying a salary for those services
The labor Of giving notice of notes running to
maturity might very well be transferred to the
Discount Clerk, without adding unreasonably
