Tllc Branch Bank.

The subject of the removal of the
Branch Bank of the State from Cam
den to this place is exciting some at
tcntion and discussion here. There is
no doubt, but that in Snmtcrvillc we
stand greatly in need Of money f,cili-
ties, for legitimate business transac-
tons and the establishment OF IL branch
Of the Bank Of the State in this place
must be considered dcsideratuDe and
will add a new impetus to trade. Cam
den with a declining trade has two
banks. one of these she could spare, or
yield up to the stronger claims Of Sum
tcrville, Which impartial Judgment
must pronounce the better and more
central location. A bank established
here would be called on to supply the
demands of Darlington, Marion, and
Williamburgs, while Camden with the
two banks to divide the business, is
surrounded on all side by banking fl.
cilities. Our intention is not however
to discuss the expcdicncy or propricty
OF the change, at present, but only tc
call attention to the subject.

EscaHDcd.

The accomplished scoundrcl whose
arrest and lodgment in the jail of this
place we announced week or two ago,
broke JUL and made of on Monday
night last during thunder shower
which came up between midnight and
day. This feat was accomplished by
saving one Of the iron bars Of his
prison and bending it in its socket and
. then letting hiinsclf'down by strips Of
blankets, which he had torn up for
that purpose. How he came by a
saw is a matter of wondermcnt and
conjecture to all, but it is supposed
that he mnst have had it concealed
about his person when lodged and it
escaped the search which was then
made. 1t is probable he could have
freed himself Of his prison at any time
after his confinement and was only
waiting for good opportunity, which
offered on Monday night.
