Depositors Urged To File Claims SPARTANBURG, Feb. 8.โ€”John C. Lanham, receiver for the First National bank of Woodruff, stated here today that he wished to urge all depositors of the closed bank to file their claims immediately. Lanham said around 250 persons had approximately $4,000 on deposit in the bank at the time it closed and have not filed claims. Another dividend, he added, is to be paid this year and unless claims are filed, these depositors will not receive a dividend. The bank, he said, has already paid 80 per cent on the $80,000 on deposit at the time of the closing.
