Blease Writes Bank Examiner.

Columbia, March 26.-"I consider
your failure in this matter derelec-
ton of duty and unless you can give
a satisfactory explanation would ad-
wise that you tender your resignation
at once" wrote Governor Blease to
State Bank Examiner B. ]. Rhame,
this afternoon in reference to the re-
ported failure of the bank examiner
to notify him of the condition OF the
Lexington Savings bank, now in the
hands of a receiver. The letter of the
governor to Mr.. Rhame is as follows:
= March 26, 1912-Mr. B. J. Rhame,
State Examiner, Columbia, S. c.
Dear Sir: 1 notice from reports filed
February 5, 1912, March 8, 1911, and
April Is, 1910, that the Lexington Saw
ings bank has been in very serious
trouble for some months. also no
tice Mr.. Wilson, your predecessor in
1910, says in one Of his reports: Full
report submitted to governor for re-
view and advice. Schedules B and c
scare me-
"Will you please be so kind as to ad-
wise me why you did not call my at
tention to the condition of this bank,
particularly when you and your as
sistants knew that the supenintend-
ent of the State penitentiary had many
thousands of dollars deposited therein,
and also that the county treasurer OF
Lexington county had many thousands
of dollars of the county's money de-
posted therein. If you had called my
attention to this matter as Mr.. Wilson
did Governor Ansel's attention,
would have Immediately, upon the fl
ing of your report on February 1,
1911, ordered that proper proceedings
be instituted to protect the interests
of the county and State. l consider
your failure in this matter derelic-
ton of duty, and unless you can give
satisfactory explanation I would
advise that you at once tender your
resignation as State bank examiner
and save any further unpleasantness
We do not want in this State care,
lessness or negligence in Office; ig'
norance is no excuse. I would alsi
be glad if you would advise me VIII!
you did not act in accordance will
Section 3,251, new Code OF Laws O
South Carolina, when you found th'
condition of the Lexington Saving
bank, one year ago.

LEXINGTON BANK HAS
LONG BEEN SHAkY
Reports of Bank ExaminerS-GOTer.
nor Blease Takes Hand in
Investigation.

Columbia, March 26.-Reports as II
the condition of the Lexington Saw
ings bank, of which w. P. Roof is
president, were made known in Gov
ernor Blease's Office today, the origin,
ais having been furnished upon his
request to State Treasurer Jennings
"Of these four mills, w. P. Roof is
president, and Allen Jones secretary
and treasurer. The above listed excess
loans constitute the loans and dis
counts of this band, with the excep-
tion of about $4,000 scattered among
the small depositors. This fact alone
speaks loudly of the disregard OF
banking laws, and the lack OF a board
of directors to direct. In addition to
the above, W. P. Roof has turned over
to the Lexington Savings bank some
real estate titles for LAP acres OF
land, and is saving some carried on
books as other real estate; these are
not recent purchases for investment,
but are simply additional moneys loan
ed to W. P. Roof, and proceeds were
placed to his credit (admitted.) A
glance at the totals above will show
that W. P. Roof, Sam P. Roof, (hls
son. his four mills, have borrowed
a total of $215,9O4.71, and in addition
to this amount the other real estate
of $4,000, is loan to W. P. Roof, ST.
600 is loaned his wife, $4,000 to Roof
& Barre Lumber company Qnc.), So
1OO.91 to Lexington Supply company
Chis son secretary and treasurer) and
s11.59S.92 to J. P. Clark, who works
W. P. Roofs land, lives on it, ships
all rosin and turpentine in Roofs
name and is admitted to be worth but
q few thousand dollars over his debts
owning only small tract Of land.
"a careful scrutiny of the above list
of loans would fail to locate any
amount of tangible collateral; that IS
in comparison to the total Of the loans
surety being practically based on
worth of owner of bank. Current
rate, 7 and s per cent.
Loans are approved and passed on
:by president, and his son."
Above is the comment by Assistant
Bank Examiner T. c. Dunlap in his
report on the condition of the Lexlng-
ton Savings bank, of lexington own
ed by w. P. Roof, now in the hands OF
a receiver. The report, which put the
bank in the hands Of receiver, was
made on February 6, of this year, and
filed in the office of the Secretary OF
State.

Governor.
7 have made search for the report
herein mentioned, and if the same has
been returned to this Office by you, /
am unable to find it, You will, there
fore. please return said report I'M
mediately to this Office and give me
such further information as you may
have in your possession touching up
on the affairs of the Lexington Saw
ings bank.
This request is based upon Section
a. Article 4, Constitution of the State
of South Carolina, 1895.
I deem it highly important, from IN
formation coming to me from reliable
sources, that immediate action should
bo taken to protect the interests Oh
the county of Lexington and tne
State of South Carolina in regard &c
their deposits in said bank, as, from
these reliable reports, I am of the
opinion that unless something is
done quickly, both the county ano
State will be heavy losers-in fact,
have some doubt if they can, at this
late day, be saved. Why action has
not been taken earlier, do not know;
and having not had the information,
could not act.
Very respectfully,

TIMELY ICE BOX MAxIMs
Some Things Worth Remembering
When Putting Food Away In
the Refrigerator.

All cooked food should be cooled as
soon as possible before being placed
In the ice box. Butter may be kept
from taking up the fiavors Of other
food by keeping it in tightly COW
cred receptacle.
Milk requires more access of air,
but in a clean ice box in which no
strong smelling food is kept milk
should remain uninjured in flavor for
twelve to twenty-four hours. If vege-
tables or other foods Of pronounced
odor are kept in glass jars with covers
or in covered earthenware receptacles
there will be fewer odors to be COM
municated.
Portions Of canned goods should
never be put into the ice box In the
tin can. Such food does not of neces-
sity develop a poisonous product, as
has sometimes been claimed, but ex.
periments show that ptomaines are
particularly liable to develop in sucI
cases.
