BIDS ON COUNTY LOAN OPENED
Wee Nee Bank Proffers $4,000 For
Five Years Without Interest

In acco rdance with the recent act
Of the General Assembly authorizing
the County of Williamsburg to bnr-
,ow $4,000 to be applied on road
construction and other public improve
ments, local banks were notified by
the Counties Attorney, Leroy Lee,
ESQ.,, that bids on such loan would
be received and opened for acceptance
or rejection on Tuesday, April 20.
Letters proffering the loan were
submitted by F. w. Fairey, cashier
of the Bank OF Kingstree, Mr.. E. c.
Epps, cashier Of the Bank of Williams
burg, and by Mr.. W. w. Holiday
cashier of the Wee Nee Bank.
The Bank of Williamsburg offered
to loan the county $4,000 for five
years at the rate of $40 per annum,
with the proviso that all the counties
financial business be transacted
through the Bank of Williamsburg
during the life of the loan.
The Bank of Kingstree proposed to
make the loan at the rate of 29e per
annum, provided that the county gave
the bank its entire business during
the term of the loan.
The letter from Mr.. Holiday Of
fered the county $4,000 without in
terest, provided the Wee Nee Bank
