BRANCHING CUT.
Inc FARMERS Bank and Trust Co..
VIII Establish Branches at Summer
ton and PinewOOd.

The officers and directors Of the
Farmers Bank and Trust Comnanv
nave decided to establish branches Of
that bank at Pinewwod and Summer
ton, Clarendon county and all arrange
ments have been made for opening the
branch banks between this time and
August 1st. The furniture and fixtures
have been ordered and as soon as the
outfits arrive the branch banks will
be opened for business.
+ Pinewood, which is a growing town
with important and rapidly increasing
business interests is without banking
facilities and the branch bank will
I'LL long felt want and will do much
toward the development of the place.
In the case of Summerton conditions
are somewhat different as that place
now has flourishing bank several
years old. But there is demand in the
community for another bank and more
banking capital land the town is grow.
ing at a rate that calls for another bank
and 1t is certain that the Farmers
Bank and Trust Company will build
UP large and profitable business in
that town and section.
The extension Of the business act
ivity and influence of the Farmers
Rank and Trust Company to include
these two prosperous and growing
towns of Clarendon county will be
good thing not only for Pinewwod and
Summerton but for Sumter also.1 1t
cannot fail to make the business rel
ations Of these two towns and Sumter
closer and more cordial and will un-
doubtedly have. the. effect of bringing
more business Of all lines to the city
from the towns and country tributary
to them. The branch banks will give
the people of Summerton and Pine
wood every facility that the Farmers
Bank and Trust Company offers it's
customers in Sumter and the deposit
ors' and patrons Of the branch banks
Will have the same security that the
parent bank affords it's patrons, and
ID that extent they will be better pro-
tected than If they had a local bank
with small capital.

An eminent physician Of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to the rich patients after he
had turned their disorders out Of
doors. attended a lady of some cele-
brity in the world of wit for three
months after her recovery and re-
gularly stayed with her until, in the
English manner, he received his dis
missing fee of guineas. Weary of
his expensive calls and concluding
that to lessen the fee would be to lose
tho visitor. she ventured to give him
guineas at the conclusion of his next
call. He looked anxiously in his hand
then on the carpet and stood for
some time in evident embarrassment.
Have you lost anything?" inquired
the lady.

dropped guina."

Tor South Carolinians in the study of

has been made from a psycholop,ca;

However, the phenomena agree.

the experiences themselves, with the
description given by similar pheno-
mena In the New Testament. Snp-
gestion, it is asserted, plays an i'm
portant part; and "suggestibility is
greatly increased by the formation of
psychological crowd that is, a
group Of persons who through rec,p-
rocal suggestion and imitation one of
another act as if a group mind had
supplanted the various individual

SuggestibiTity and loss of rational
control are sometimes found to be
made more intense by deliberate ef-
forts on the part of the subject to ex-
clude every possible extraneous i'm
preston.
For the belief of these people that
'the sensory and motor automatisms
which appear in connection with
their revivals are the product of the
Holy Spirit working within Them"
DR.. Hencke accounts by tracing to
it's origin the belief in spirit posses
sion. Precisely these beliefs were
held by the Hebrews. says the writer.
After investigating several hun
