summer before last was taken up
throughout the cotton growing belt
and resulted ia an order from the
United States secretary of agriculture
modifying the manner of cotton re-
ports to the benefit of the planter.
The Sumter Chamber has now set
on foot another movement which the
members hope will be more far-reach
ing anl ..hich will result in nation
wide good. 1t is movement to cur
tail the pistol habit and to lessen the
harm by pistol "toting."
At meeting Of the chamber ABOUT

mercial and civic bodies all over the
nation. DR.. Baker is now in Florida
where he has attended a meeting and
luncheon of the Jacksonville Cham
Der of Commerce and has made an
address on the Sumter plan before the
St. Augustine chamber. He is in ST.

to the centennial rext year OF the
treaty of peace following the war OF

ital for the organization Of the First
Securities company to take over the
business which the bank could not dc
under the law Mr.. Baker said, a
special dividend of $1O,OOO,OOO was de-
clared. This was in addition to the
regular yearly dividende.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, from facts supplied by Mr..
Baker, calculated that since he as
sumed the, presidency Of the First Ma
tional in 1873, that institution has
paid dividends of 1850 per cent or
its original capitazation.
Mr.. Baker fatty opposed the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Untermeyer that
national banks be required to make
public their assets, in order that de-
positors and stockholders might know
the nature of securities held by the
banks, the WltneSS QecldFlHS tndI NC
saw no possible good that could come
of such provision.
That there is no impropriety in one
man holding dictatorship in two or
more potentially competitive banks,
was another statement made by Mr..
Baker. Mr.. Untermeyer reviewed with
him a long list of railroads, in which
he was director, some of which the
lawyer held were potentially compet-
ing lines. Mr.. Baker declared that it
was rather an advantage to hold such
directorships, because differences be
tween the companies can thus be read
lily adjusted.

roperty of the college, but the loss
of personal property was great.
The large main building of the State
college for negroes, which is a four

to the FIRE, but at no time was IN
serious danger of destruction. About
TWO years ago Badham hail. girls

destroyed by fire, entailing loss of
about $4,000.
There was stiff wind during the
fire, but luckily the wind blew in the
most favorable direction to prevent
spread of fire to adjoining buildings.
Although the firenlen fought valiantly,
the wind famed the flames and the
building was reduced to ashes except
the kitchen annex, which was saved

How Trust Companies

the banking and economical develop
lment Of the country, which have been
recently compiled show that the trust
companies have acquired banking re-
sources amounting to s5.490,570, 600.
and exceeded only by the national
and state banks combined. Twenty
five years ago the trust companies of
the United States numbered only 120

have increased both in number and

a mortgage to issue new bonds, IL al
most always names a trust company
as trustee. a sinking fund may be
provided to pay off obligations as
they mature and balances must be
maintained to meet coupon and divid-
end payments. Such funds are best
carried by the trust companies, and
the corporation does not lose any in
tercst premiums for idle funds. There
are numerous instances where bank
ing facilities are called for in connec-
tion with the appointment of trust
companies as executor, trustee under
will. as administrator Of estates.
guardian, or as trustees under cor
poratlon mortgages and reorganiza-
tions. II stands to reason that faci-
llties can best be offered by one in
stitution than in keeping separate
accounts in different banks.
Another reason why trust compan-
les have become so successful as
banking institutions Is the spirit Of
courtesy and accommodation which
prevails in all successful companies.
The up-to-date trust company man
agement makes depositors, whether
they have large or small accounts,
feel that they are entitled to every
courtesy and consideration Special
departments are maintained for wo-
men In many instances. The officers
are not buried in back rooms, but
have their desks SO as TO be accessi-
BILE to all patrons. In fact, trust
companies have made banking popu-
lar and offer facilities which truly en-
title them to the designation as 1the
most modern mechanism of banking
and fianance."
