A telephone message from j Cashier E. E. Harrill, of the Ellen boro bank, Wednesday afternoon, stated that the bank there was in splendid condition and had no con nection whatever with any of the de funct banks. The published statement j of this bank will appear in the press j next week and a careful perusal of ! same is invited by the Ellenboro ( bank officials. Incalculable harm is done by j unthinking and careless persons in 1 making wild statements about banks ' and banking conditions. Two or three prosecutions may teach some j of the thoughtless ones that banks are protected by law from vicious ( gossip. i i * i 1 Complete and big assortment of r Easter toys, at Courtney's Ten Cent Store. a 16 P ages 96 COLUMNS SI.OO Per Year in Advance WILL CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR GAS FRANCHISE I ' | Representatives of Carolina Central Gas Company Here Today—To Present Mat te** To City Board.
