THE YEAR 1919 WAS A PERIOD OF
GREAT PROSPERITY IN McCORMICK
Bank Deposits More Than Doubled, Building Operations
tive —Business Good in all Lines.
McCormick, S. C.—The year Nineteen
Hundred and Nineteen has been a re
markable one for McCormick county in
many ways. Like the year 1918 over the
previous year and every other year since
1914. every line of activity has b -en on
the boom, bit especially since the year
1916, when the county of McCormick
was formed. The progress of the county
is perhaps best estimated by the de
posits in the banks of the county. One
of the banks of the county, and this
particular bank has had no unusual
success over the other banks, had a
total deposit of $26 000.00 in 1914, and in
December. 1918, this same bark had a
denosit of 1126,000.00. This same bank
today has a deposit of $536,000.00. All of
the banks of the county have increased
In*their deposits in about the same pro
portion and today the banks here have
a tots’ deposit of $1,500,000.00.
Nothing has been more active, how
ever. than the nvH estate market, and
more Than a million dollars wo**th of
real estate has changed hands during
the past year. Several new residences
have been erected throughout the cotin
f . farms have been improved a,r.d the
whole atmosphere seem? to be one of
o’.vviperity. There ere two new churches
being erected at this time in the town
of McCormick. The Baptip’ church, at
q -ost of approximately SSOiOOO.OO. lias ■>
field. “
It’s a serious bustness, b ing a veil
leader, saya Drew. To instill pep and
inspiration in others you’ve, sot to get up
a good deal of perspiration yourself. A
veil leader’s antics call for physical train
ing that amounts to a special all-rbund
course In athk ties.
‘‘The rioting director," explains Drew,
“must almost hurl himself upon his audi
tors He must almost literally pitch into
ih»- bleachers the word and the impulse
that fires his rooters to a fine fr.nzy. It
isn’t lazy man’s game—shooting enthu
siasm across thfe plate
“But the reward is worth all the energy,
the patience, the drilling. And it isn’t
personal reward. It’s for the glory and
good of the college, the institution. For
the timely roar f; am a well coached root
ing. machine supplies to the team that
'hat final footpound of energy and co
operation which wins in a close contest."

baen ab">ut half completed, while the A.
R. P. church at a cost of approximately
$25,000.00 |e well under way. Quite a
number of new resldenoes In town are
in course of construction and others will
be erected ns soon a? labor can be had.
There hits been a marked shortage of
carpenters here for the past year and
another year will doubtless find a num
ber of other residences occupied by
newcomers. At present every residence
and every store in town is occupied.
The farmers of the county are hold
ing meetings monthly In an effort to get
organiz'd to meet the boll-weevil and
are preparing to plant .crops other than
cotton, to use improved implements and
do not seem to. dread the coming of the
bo’l weevil as much as they might.
One of the newest enterprises In
MeFormlck Is the newly organized
wholesale grocery company. The Mc-
Cormick Grocery Company, with an or
ganized capital stock of $30,000, backed
by men of marked ability and experi
ence. This new enterprise : s bound to
meet with success, and will In a very
few days open its doors for business.
A petition is being circulated and In
a few days an electior will be ordered
far the purpose of bonding the town of
McCormick in the sun: of $30,000 for the
purpose of erecting a court house, and
this public ba iding is to b? erected
fluring the year 1920.
