TRIBUTE OF RESPECT
To the Memory of the Late Thomas n.
Waring, Cashier.

SOUTH CAROLINA LOAN AND TRUST Co..
CHARLESTON, October 2, 1871.
At meeting OF the board Of directors, held
this day, George 8. Cameron, president In the
chair, addressed the board as follows:
Gentlemen of the Board Of Directors;
It becomes my painful duty at this meeting
10 officially announce the death Of our late
cashier, Thomas R. Waring. IL is unnecessary
for me to speak Of the great loss this institu.
tion has sustained in his removal from among
us. Some OF you have known him much longer
than have; my acquaintance with the deceas-
ed dates back twenty years, and for the last
two years was In daily intercourse with him
as cashier.
During That time had every opportunity OF
observing the zeal and energy with which ne
filled the duties OF his position; his stern In
teprity and faithfulness to what was required
of him; his kindness and courtesy TO his
brother officers; his patience and attention to
all who applied to him for advice, 50 that not
only feel the loss as an GiHacer OF the bank.
but as friend on whose sound judgment
could always rely.
He has left behind him name that his
children can point to with pride, and 1t is meet
that we should pay tribute to his memory.
Whereupor, after few pertinent remarks by
Mr.. Bee, the following preamble and resolu'
tions we submitted, and unanimously adopted:
But a brief period has elapsed since this
board was convened for the purpose OIL adopt:
ing proceedings In relation TO Inc aemise Oh
two prominent and lamented directors.
The fatal and unerring shalt OF death has
claimed another victim, and again We meet 10
mourn a still heavier bereavement II the &c.
moval of one upon whom had been conferred
the high official trusts and responsibilities at
tached to the position Of cashier Of this COM
pany; OF one whose spotless reputation, un.
blemshed integrity, matured experience and
financial ability, failed not to command the
respect and confidence not only OF the board
munity; while those rare attributes OF head
and heart, for which he was distinguished,
had won for him the esteem and regard Of all
with whom he was associated.
Though for many months sufferer from q
distressing and painful disease, the high sense
entertained Of the obligations which he had
assumed, mastered physical weakness; and
cal adviser, seconded by the equally decided
action of this board, could induce him TO re-
linquish, even for time, the duties OF his
Office, and seek in foreign cline the
restoration of health so ardently desirGd and
hopefully anticipated. The fond eitlcipations
OF his friends were never realized. He re-
turned to his native soil only to yield up ''his
spirit to God who gave it," and to us alone re-
mains the cherished memories of many vir.
tues and the mournful privilege of recording a
faint tribute to his memory. Tb .refore.
Resolved, That In the deD.e .ee of Thomas R.
Warlng, late cashier Of T., institution. we de.
plore the loss Of an ef.cient and highly esteem
ed officer, whose purity of life, integrity OF
purpose and financial ability eminenuy quail.
ned him ior the responsible position which he
held, and to whose able administration is the
