ONE. GENT PER MINUTE
 IN FORD CARS

Fords rented for one cent a min ute Can you beat that? The Moody Car for Rent without Driver Service announced yesterday that such a ser vice TOT the people of Phoenix and the valley would now be available and accordingly opened headquarters for this line of rental segyice at 235 North Central avenue.
 That this is new departure in the automobile rental line and des- tined to be a popular one is the opin- ion of all who have learned of. the proposition, and it is expected that ear-less folks will rush to take ad- vantage of it.
 A five passenger car. under this plan, can be rented at a cost of one cent per minute, which is 60 cents per hour. If the cost is divided among five passengers, the cost to each for his share of the pleasure is only F cents. When one figures that the average Ford carries about 15 pas sengers, it will be seen that the cost of riding in one of the one cent per minute F'ords is practically nothing.
 All the cars in the rental service are equipped with starters, and there will be enough for all. Day and night service will be available.

the usual hail was given. To thei,

THE BANK OF KINGsTREE
Setting its House in Order for the
Coming of Greater Prosperity.

The Bank of Kingstrce has begun
installing its new furniture and fix
lures in the NeX3on building on the
corner of Main and Academy street
and expects to occupy its new quar-
terS March 1st. It's equipment will be
along the most modern lines in bank
ing houses, complete in all details
serviceably arranged and appealing
| ly handsome.
The Bank of Kingstreee is the old
est bank in Williamsburg county
Twenty-ore years ago it was organ
inzed with DR.. D. C. Scott, Capt J
A. Kelly, R. H. Kellahan, R. D. Rol-
Inns, J. F. Cooper, and George w
w. Williams, of Charleston, GS itG
board of directors. Of these, Dr.
Scott and Capt. Kelly have remained
on the directorate until today. MesSrs
Kellahan, Cooper and Rollins are dead
This board of directors elected DR.
Scott the first president of the bank
which place he has held since it was
organized, and E. C. Epps, now cash
ier of the Bank of Williamsburg as
its first cashier. Mr.. L. H. Fairey
now president of a bank in Bishop,
vile, succeeded Mr.. Epps as cashie:
in 1906. In 1908, Mr.. F. w. Fairey
became cashier, which position he still
fills.
The Bank of Kingstree began busi'
ness with $4,000 capital stock. Three
years later, after paying so dividends
which it has paid every year since its
organization, it doubled its capital
stock from the surplus fund. About
five years later, it again doubled its
capital stock from its surplus, max
ing its capital stock as at present $780,
10000, and at the same time declar,
ed special dividend of 1919 from the
surplus.
Many of the old friends and Gus,
toners of this bank, when they come
into its new home after March first
look over it's marble and mahogany
furnishing and inspect its strong
vaults and remember the first bank,
ing house of the institution located in
little wooden structure behind DR.
Scott's old drug store when borrow
ed pine tables and broken backed
chairs were all the furniture it had
except a discarded pine prescription
counter that was used for filing case
Too, they will recall seeing Mr.. Epps
cashier at that time, hunting in the
late afternoons some merchants iron
safe into which to keep the banks
cash during the night. Mr.. Epps now
admits that sometimes he found NO
safe for the money but slept with it
until the rosy morn gladdened the
coming day.
DR.. Scott and Mr.. Epps tell some
good stories about those pioneer bank
ing days in Williamsburg county
Soon after the bank began business
a negro with a $4,000 bill came into
the bank and saw some men indorsine
checks, and receiving money for them
over the counter. Mr.. Niger then
boldly marched up to the counter
wrote his name across the back of the
$40 bill and passed it over to be cash,
ed. That endorsed $50 bill circulated
in Kingstree for several years.
The Bank of Kingstree is gettin9
its house in order for bigger ano
better prosperity than ever.

states Wholesale Cooperative So
city was advised here today at the
society's annual meeting by its
president, John II. Walker, pt
Springfield, III, Mr.. Walker is
also president of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor.
Increase Of one per cent in %
operative society prices was ad-
vised by President Walker. He
figured the results would be suffi-
cient to make start in co-opera-
tive commodity production.
Among establishments which
could be brought about with neces-
sary funds President Walker named
a small flour and feed mill, a
bakery, a cigar and a tobacco fac
tory and an undertaking supply
factory.
Goods of the wholesale society on
hand at the close of the annual
audit amounted to $607,379.26, Mr..
Walker reported. Business in
creased more than 100000 in the
last six months. There was loss,
however, of s12,S05.46, according
to the auditor, he said, an actual
loss of $4,000, due to general
shrinkage in values.
