rarely one sees a grown person with

ANNUAL MEETING OF BANK OF
KiNGSTEeE STOCKHOLDERS.
Affairs Of Kingstree's Bank in Splen,
did Conditional New Oirec-
tor Chosen.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Bank of Kingstree
was held in the Office of the direc-
tors on January 1, and a report of
the banks financial condition was
submitted. The affairs of the bank
were found to be in excellent condi-
ton, the first years business show
ing net profit of 1ss per cent. 1t
was voted to pay a dividend of s per
cent to the stockholders and to
place the balance in the reserve
fund to strengthen the resources OF
the bank.
1t was decided to increase the
board of directors to five and Mr. 4
H Kellehan was elected as the new
director. The board of directors
now stands as follows: Henry P Will
liams, John A Kelley, R D Rollins,
D G Scott, and R H Kellehan. The
directors and every one interested
have just cause to feel proud Of the
splendid showing made by the bank
at the close of the first year of its
existence and under the present
management it is safe to predict that
this institution will continue to
flourish and increase in strength.
Every one in the county who has
idle money should deposit it in our
home bank and the gangs of burg
lars which seem to be operating
through the country would soon
find their occupation gone so far as
Williamsburg county is concerned.
Besides fire proof vault and a
burglar proof safe, "to make assu-
rance doubly sure" the bank car
ries heavy burglar insurance.
