Farmers Bank & Trus, Co,

The statement of the Farmers
Bank and Trust Co., showing the con-
dition at the close of business Decem-
Der 18th Is published today in
conformity with the call Of the State
bank examiner A comparison or the
statement with that Of Dec. Goth.
1906, shows that the year has been
one OF growth for the bank and the
addition Of nearly $4,000 to the sur
plus fund has enhanced the value Of
the stock AMI strengthened the bank.
one year ago the capital stock OF
the bank was 100000 and the last in
stallment of the additional stock was
not paid In until July 1st, hence the
percentage Of profits on capital is
really much greater than appears
from the statement. The total amount
OF loans are substantially the same as
year ago although the deposits on
the day the statement was called
were slightly less than at the time the
statement with which comparison is
made was published. Throughout the
year the bank has carried large line
OF deposits and reference to the state
ment shows that there is on hand a
substantial reserve for the protection
OF depositors. In the matter of cot
ton loans the Farmers Bank & Trust
TO-, has extended to its customers
every accommodation and no patron
has been forced to sell cotton for the
lack Of aid from this bank.

THE SUM1TER-SHILOH RAILWAY
Road Completed From New Sumter

Mr.. j. w. Allen, general manager
Of the Belts Lumber company, was
In the city Wednesday night and
was asked concerning the railroad to
be built from Shiloh to Sumter.
which his company is promoting. Mr..
Allen stated that the road is now
completed from Goodwill to New
Sumter" the location of the Belts
company's MILL about three miles
from Sumter. This road is standard
guage and regular cars are being run
over it. Fertilizers and other freight
are being carried now to the Good
will section.
The proposition appears to be up
to the Sumter people now to complete
the road from New Sumter to this
city and thus finish railway that
would be of mutual benefit to Sum-
ter and the people of the Shiloh and
Goodwill sections. It Is thought that
some steps will be taken soon to COM
plete this road.

Bank Of sumter.

The statement Of the Bank of

unsn will be read with interest and
pratincation by the business men of
Sumter. the stock holders Of that in
stituion especially, It shows that the
Bank OF Sumter has had prosperous
year and has contributed It's full
share toward the growth Of the busi-
ness Of Sumter. The surplus Of the
bang now exceeds $4,000. have in
creased from $4,000 within the year.
At this date year ago the bank had
about the same amount on deposit
and the amount outstanding in loans
was a little less than now. At the
same time the bank now owes for
borrowed money only $4,000 while
last year this account stood at $780,
900. But for the fact that the aBnk
OF Sumter has pursued a very liberal
policy In advancing money on cotton
warehouse receipts and In making
new loans u customers when banks
in other sections were boarding their
cash and refusing to make loans on
any terms the effects of the panic
would have been much more serious
iy felt in this community and busi-
ness would have been seriously Grip
pied. BY pursuing this policy the
bank has profited and the community
has benefited.
