immediate reconsideration of
your announcement of retirement,
we are folly aipipreciative of the
great sacrifice continued service
will entail. However, local, nati
onal and international problems
are of such acurate and pressing
nature that the universal desire of
your conetltuents is that you
serve at least another term of of
fice.
“This fervent wish is not only
the wish of the people of your dis
trict but, we believe, of the peo-
•ple of North Carolina. Such a
sacrifice on your part will fill
the hearts of your people with
lasting appreciation.’’

Co seek re-eleetlon. Never before
In my imbllc life have I received
so many warm assurances of sup
port and loyalty. Because of
these generous personal messagea
I have every reason to ,belike
that were I to seek another term
I would be' re-elected without
doubt or difficulty.
’ '“This announcement has been
delayed beyond the time when
normally It would have been
made because I have felt that
the TOtOrs should have at leasd

over, my long-neglected private
business badly needs attention.
“For these and other less im

tion to close my congressional
career at the end of my present
term of office, December 31, 1940
“1 shall continue to take a
deep and, I hope, active interest
in public affairs.”
The congressman, who will be
76 next November 7, is in to®

w MiSCELLAHIEOUS
in the 150 years ol its existence—
is the fact that id all thlsi legis
lative trail-blazing, only one
amendment has ever been added
in the House to a bill sponsored
by Doughton. This would be ex
ceptional in any case, but it be
comes even more emphatic when
viewed in light of the pioneering
that some of these bills repre
sented.
The excitement and national
imports of all theee endeavors,
however, found little reflection in
the calm, direct, yet deeply mov
ing announcement of his deci
sion.
“Thirty years ago the people of
our congressional district elected
me to represent them in the Con
gress of the United States,’’
Doughton said.
“At every biennial election
since that time they have se
fit tl- re-elect me to this same
responsible office. For their con
tinued loyal support, I am pro
foundly grateful and for the many
tokens of their trust and confi
dence I express my deep and sin
cere thanks.
“I now feel that the time has
arrived when 1 should acquaint
them with my future political
intentions. Some months ago I

Dividends were paid semi-an

the rate of 5 per cent.
“The Directors held monthly
meetings with good attendance.
At every such meeting the Execu
tive Committee. E. M. Blackburn,
R. G. Finley, and J. B. Justice,
Jr., made detailed reports show
ing monthly examination of the
loans and investments. The offi
cers have submitted to this com
mittee and the Directors monthly
reports showing earnings and ex
penses. ’The Dlrectore have been
co-operative In every instance.
'Their counsel and sane Judgment
have been of inestimable value in
determining the policies and pro
cedures of the bank.
“’The State Department o f
Banking and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation made their
annual examinations. The former
in February and the latter in
October. Their reports showed
careful inspection and examina
tion of the bank’s affairs. Both
reports commented favorably on
the condition found.
“So much for the year that has
already become a part of history.
We have turned our energies to
ward the new year with renewed
efforts and hopea that It will
even better than the past. ’The
whole tone of business is. Indeed,
better than in many years and
the faith w-hich industry and
trade are displaying has had its
wholesome effect on the attitude
of the public. In our opinion a
feeling of optimism prevails a-
mong onr people. This Is our in
spiration to strive toward great

to take this opportunity to ex
press our warm appreciation to
