From the Daily Item August IS.

From the Daily Item August is.
The Bank of Sumter, Farmers Bank
and Trust Company and the Sumter
Savings Bank, the three State banks
doing business in this city, have pub
lished statements within the past few
days in compliance with a call by
State Bank Examiner Rolleman. For
the dull season the banks are in excel
lent shape, particularly insofar as
deposits are concerned. The deposits
of the three banks are as follows :
Bank of Sumter, s207, I'll. 80; Farmers
Bank and Trust Co., S349, 545. so; Sum
ter Savings Bank, sl38, 293. Oh. The de-
posits of the First National Bank on
the same day that the statements
of the other banks were made up, ag.
gregated $3.50, ,247.98, which amount
added to the total deposits of the
three State banks brings up the
amount held on deposit in the four
Sumter banks to 1925, 258.25.
This is quite tidy sum for this
season Of the year and shows that the
people OF Sumter are accumulatlng
money and that in few years more,
at the present rate, the home banks
will be able to finance the business
enterprises of SUMTER with Sumter
money.
