overdrafts in State Banks.
/ NJ. Maulden Of Pickens, state
bank examiner, has sent out a circular
letter to all the state banks in South
Carolina with a view to lscouragIns
the practice of allowing overdrafts.
He states that he has no power to pro-
hibit such practice; but does not hesl-
tate to say that this practice Is a
source of loss to all the banks, n
should be discredited in the interest OF
good business. He says that the state
banks Of South Carolina have been
losing an average Of 5000 a year on
account of overdrafts. and the losses
go principally to buns, who regard the
privilege Of overdrawing their accounts
as one of their principal assets in
business. He intimates that hereafter
he will be still more strict than here
tofore in requiring state banks TO elth-
er charge outstanding overdrafts on
their books or to " them with
proper security.
