THE LAST PAYMENT MADE.
The Citizens 3. and |. Association
Wound Up Satisfactorily to Ali.

The last payment was made to the
Treasurer Of the Citizens Bnilding and
Loan Association by stockholders and
the affairs of the association was wound
up yesterday afternoon at the last
regular monthly meeting of the board
of directors. Those who had borrow
ed on their shares, on payment Of the
last installment Monday, received
their bonds and mortgages and had
them marked satisfied; those who had
not borrowed will receive today from
the board of directors $3.50 in cash for
each share, there being sufficient
money in the hands of the association
to take up ali outstanding shares on
this basis-that agreed upon when the
association was organized. The asso-
citation has been running 105a months
and the borrowers have therefore
paid in S105. 70 per share for which
they receive $50. While the profit IS
not large rate OF interest, is fair con-
sidering that the stock payments were
made at the rate Of 81 per share
month. The borrowers, however,
profted most from the association, as
they have from all other building and
loan associations that have been es-
tablished in Sumter during the past
20 years, for, they have been enabled to
pay for homes or make profitable In
yestments with money obtained from
the association at reasonable rate OF
interest which they have repaid in
small monthly payments.
Sumter is great building and loan
town, and although the Equitable with
HOO shares is only two years old, an
other association will be organized at
once, more than 600 shares having been
subscribed for without canvass having
been made.

Supervisor Scale, Sheriff Scarbor-

paid visit to the State Farm yester-
day, returning last night. They
brought back the four bloodhounds
owned by the city which have been at
the State Farm for several months to
be trained with the States pack OF
hounds. Two of the four dogs are
said to be unusually fine animals.
They can follow the coldest trail, and
the criminal upon whose trail they
are placed will find it difficult to
escape. The other two are fairly good
on the trail but are not absolutely
reliable.
