Growing Bank.

The Bank of Clinton was organized In
1901 under charter from the Legisla-
ture, with paid up capital of $4,000.

ing house of Bethune & Co, established
two years before by Messrs i. A.
Bethune and George E. Butler. The OF

Bethune, President; w. II. Mcdonald
Vice President; Howard McKlnnon,
Acting Cashier Mr.. Mcdonald losing has
health, was succeeded as vice president
during the year by Mr.. ". S. Patrick.
The present officers are: L. A. Bethune,
President; w. S. Patrick, Vice Presi-
dent: Howard McKinnon, Cashier. The

most of the business men IN Clinton and
several substantial farmers and merchants
throughout Sampson county.
In the two years the Bank OF Clinton
has been in business it has set aside a
surplus Of $1,000, which together with
undivided profits added to its capital,
gives it total strength at this time of
nearly $4,000. It's deposits on June fst
amounted to SIS, 600. No interest has ever
been paid on deposits. Its business has
grown in a gratifying manner from the
beginning, and the management OF con-
servative officers and directors entitle
it to continued growth in patronage and
popularity In doing well for itself it
has done well by the county and COM
munity in gathering together and keeping
at home the surplus capital of home peo-
pie where it is made available for the
development Of home industries and enter
prises and the assistance of worthy home
folks. Equipped with the most modern
safeguards for the protection of funds en-
trusted to its care. it offers a safe de-
pository for the people of Clinton and
vicinity and others having business

of teller He soon became known as an
expert. and was soon better known as
Little Money Fingers an apt nickname
given because of his diminutive stature.
and the ease and rapidity with which
he counted bnls calling for money, the
real stuff. He was strong Union man,
and lived here all during the war and
was never molested, or had indignities or
threats put on him, because every one
knew him to be a man OF character and
sterling worth. He died in Tarboro in
The latter seventies, very old man, re-
spected by all for his intelligence, his
character and his talent for attending to
his own business and letting other people
attend to their own business IN their own
way He was never married. and was
thoroughly identified with the South in
everything, except on the question of
secession. He guarded the assets of the
bank all during the war, and after held
on to it's defunct assets, and sold the
mahogany desks and chairs, etc, ut very
high price. l know that well, for
bought one desk which / have now and
which IL pronounced fine by the curious
who come in and say sometimes: Where
did you get that counter desk from?'
I'm February 1875, the Pamlico Insur
ance and Banking Company was estab-
lished, and its entire capital stock was
taken up by Edgecombe people. H. L.
Station is president and Job Cobb cashier.
Mr.. Orren Williams has managed the in
surance department since the first organi-
cation of the company
'.In 1873 the Bank of New Hanover
established a branch in Tarbolo, with
Matthew Weddell as president, and James
d. Cummings as cashier. The capital,
which was subscribed to start this bank,
came from the citizens of Tarboro and
vicinity. This bank did fine business.
and Mr.. Cummings was an obhging and
efficient officer 1t did not, however,
make money enough to save the parent
bank in Wilmington from the terrible
destruction which followed its specula-
tive methods. and it went down in the
collapse.
1.-THE Bank of Tarboro was established
in June, 1885, entirely with home capital,
and John f. Shackleford is its president.
and Joe ]. Green is its capable, and ef-
ficient cashier.
II have thus penciled down the his
tory of the banks in Tarboro for about
100 years, endeavorlng to conflne myself
strictly to your inquirer, reachingy ium,
strictly to your inquiry, making no mem
ton of the Building and Loan Associa-
tons, and the names of those who bought
and sold exchange, and discounted paper,
etc. a custom which prevailed here large
| ly for decade and more. after the trade
ruined in the latter sixties, among some
of the merchants and business men. This
private bnaking business. was Kept UP
until a few years ago when you news
paper men raised the cry of 'catch the
/ tax dodgers" and the Legislature imposed
taxes on banking and saying what should
be called banking. Then all those. gradu-
| ally withdrew their moneys from the
hands of their commission merchants and
others in New York Norfolk and Balti-
more. and placed their deposits in home
institutions. and left money aceommoda-

SIX BANKS IN MOORE COUNTY.
Sanford Express.l

A bank can now be found in nearly
every small town in the county. Ten or
fifteen years ago very few banks could be
found in towns in this State that had
fewer than 5000 people. There are now
six banks in Moore county and the popu-
lation of all the towns put together
wouldn't make much over 5000. Four of
these banks are within two miles of each
other. Does so many banks mean pros
perity? If SO. we are glad to see them
increasing and hope they will all be sue
cessful and help to build UP the towns in
which they are established.

CHURCH AND STAGE.

Chicago, Sept. 2s.-Eyidenccs OF a
strengthening bond between the church
and stage were pointed out by Amelia
Bingham. the actress. today in an ad-
dress TO the Ministerial Association.
Miss bingham declared that, taken AS
"a whole, the theatrical profession was
no worse morally than other profess
slons. She said the stage had SER
vice to perform as well as the church,
and insisted that while each has a sep
arate field, the two could do more good
BY working together.
You ministers must draw the line
between classes Of plays" she said,
and not go 10 those which you would
not have the members Of your family
OF your congregation visit. Remem-
Dor that you are looked upon TO set the
example for your flock But II you
would keep new ideas before your con
ggegatiOn II would be well for you to
attend certain plays.
"On the stage moral can De shown
in a clearer light by having men and
women Of different characters play side
by side. This Is what we find In every
day life, and In art we mist endeayOr
10 be true to life. The minister en-
plOys contrasts In his sermon. He does
not always preach OF heaven, but tells
of the other place, so that his hearers
may better understand what Is prom
ised for good and bad
