There Is quite keen rivalry between
the National Union bank of Rock Hill
and the Peoples National bank Of the
same city, and there is widespread in
terest in the rivalry. The National
Union, established more than thirty
years ago with $4,000 capital now has
$500, 900 capital, and the Peoples Ma
tional, established within the dozen
years, is capitalized at 100000. AL
though the National Union has boast
ed the largest line Of deposits all along
previous to that time, the Peoples Ma
tional forged ahead few months ago,
and has since been maintaining the
lead. But it is the campaign for new
accounts-new customers-that has
been attracting most attention. About
a year ago the Peoples National inau-
gurated guessing contest on the num-
Der of new accounts to be obtained
each month, and for the year, and
published the figures daily. The total
number of new accounts secured dur
ing the year was 1,S47, and although
the public, in view of the previous pub
licity, was quite prepared for such a
showing, the total was nevertheless
somewhat sensational. There was lots
Of talk about the figures. But the Ma
tional Union seems to have broken this
record. 1t has said nothing previously
about the number Of new accounts 1t
was getting; but following the an
nouncement of the Peoples National,
it published a statement that its total
gain Of new accounts during the year
was 2,03S. The figures not only indi-
cate marvellous growth on the part OF
the two banks; but splendid progress
on the part of the people in conduct
ing through banks in the regular way
business that they had formerly con-
Quoted almost without method or sys-
tenn.
