The surplus fund is to be not less than 30 per cent of the deposits.

It Pays To Look Well SMITH'S BARBER SHOP PRITCHARD FILES CHARGES ON WHICH CONTEST IS BASED] (Ctmtimud from page one) register , and take, the oath required | by law, and that such voters there- j after, although illegally and unlaw- j fully registered, cast their votes lot 1 the claimant, and said votes were counted in, the total number Certified as cast for said claimant. 2 ? Registrars in many precincts entered on their registration books names of voters who did not in fact register and take the required oath, as fixed by law, and thereafter, ati said election on November 4, 1930, i votes were cast in the names of such persons and included in the total votes certified to have been received by the claimant. i 3 ? That during the period of regis tration, registrars traveled through out their precincts and registered, 1 democratic voters, but did not regis- 1 ? ter republican voters, thus insurine the registration of all democrat* and making it almost impossiDte to regis ter the republican vote. This practice' constituted an unlawful disregard of I the duties of said registrars, who were 1 sworn to discharge their duties in an j impartial manner. ' 4 ? Many thousands of illegal and j fraudulently obtained absentee bal lots were cast in behalf of the claim ant. Included in such illegal and fraudulent absentee ballots were the following: | (a) Ballots based upon absentee : affidavits and certificates executed by I officers and physicians to be used il- j legally by workers, in many cases without the knowledge of the voters. (b) Ballots in the names of voters, who failed to vote in person, but who j were neither siek nor absent, as con templated by law. | (c) Absentee ballots not accompan- j ied by affidavits or certificates as re quired by law. (d) Absentee ballots not endorsed by the voters. i, (e) Absentee ^allocs cast in the . names of non-resident and unqualified persons. 5? In violation of law, many per 1 sons employed as markers forced 1 their assistance upon voters and exer- i cised duress and undue influence in '< persuading said voters to cast their ? ballots for the claimant and in many ? cases actually marked said ballots , contrary to the wishes and directions . of the voters, all of which said bal- , lots thus obtained were included in . the tot;al number of votes certified to : have been .received by the claimant. ; 6 ? The.re was a general interfer ence by political workers with voters . in the election inclosure, and in the , booths, such interference being in violation of law, under which it is , required that a 50-foot space around the ballot boxes be kept free and clear. Such interference resulted in undue and improper influence and , persuasion upon many voters who, because of same, were deprived of the exercise of their own free will, and i whose votes, as a result of said inter- j i ference, were cast for and included in j the total certified as having been re- j iceived by the claimant. ; 7 ? Many persons employed as mark ers, with intent to defraud, marked only the top ballot in the hands of the voters, which resulted in voiding all but the top ticket, thereby par- j | tially disfranchising many thousands i of unsuspecting voters. 8? Many persons employed as 1 markers deliberately mismarked the ballots, contrary to the instructions of the voters. NORTH CAROLINA, County of Transylvania. In the Matter of BREVARD BANKING CO.

Call at Brevard Banking Company for fornfs for tiling claim?. W. W. WOODLEY Jr. Liquidating Agent of Brevard Banking Company, Brevard, N. C. DEPOSITORS MET FOR DISCUSSION OF PLAN TO OPEN BANK ( Continued from page one) being made in securing the necessary legislation. This committee says there is no need of obtaining signatures to the agreement by individual .depos itor* until the town and county, the bank's largest depositors, are en abled to also enter into the agree ment. The county has nearly $600,000 on deposit, while the town haamora than $80,000 on deposit, these two accounts alone embracing more than two-thirds of the deposits in the closed institution. While many questions were asked at the meeting Saturday by individ ual depositors, tjiere was, however, a marked spirit of co-operation and a most apparent desire on the parfc of all to do all that could be done in the matter of re-opening the bank. The plan as read was not, it is said, en tirely satisfactory, and A. F. Mitch ell, attorney, Who has done much work in the past few weeks in connection with the re-opening of the bank, gave to the press an outline of an agree ment, which, he believes, expresses the kind of an agreement that most of the depositors attending the meeting will be willing to sign. It is different in some respects to that plan read at the meeting, and the features in the plan as outlined by Mr. Mitchell are sug gestions that have been made by de positors, embracing features that these depositors will, it is said, insist upon having incorporated in the agreement. Following is the plan submitted by Mr. Mitchell, which, he says, ex presses the wishes and desires of the many depositors having talked to him about the matter: The Plan State of North Carolina, County of Transylvania. This Indenture IVitncssetk : f, we, the undersigned depositors of the Brevard Banking Company of Bre vard, North Carolina, do severally agree and contract with said bank in consideration of arrangements being made to re-open and effect a re-organ ization of directors and officials, and increasing the capital stock of said bank by. the sum of not less than Thirty-five Thousand ($35,000) dol lars, which amount shall be subscrib ed and paid in as the law permits in such cases without delay, and the said bank actually re-opened with the approval of the state authorities, and ?or the State Banking Department* an or before the day of D., 1931.

That I, we will and do contract with said bank that the remaining thirty (30) per cent of our ? my bal ance, deposits, claim or claims shall be turned into a surplus fund, which shall remain as such until the earn ings of said bank are sufficient to pay said thirty (30) per cent back to the said depositors, it being pro vided that all of eaid surplus lund shall be paid back to the said depos itors before any other distribution is made thereof, and provided furthei that the distribution of said surplus fund shall be made pro rata amonj the depositors when and as the earn jings of said. bank shall equal ten (10) per ceiti uicivvx.

And, usually, they suffer from them much more than children do. For instance, many adults contract worms, an ailment usually associated with cliildren. Sometime.: they suffer intensely and take expen sive medical treatments, without reali zing that worms are the cause of their troubles. Yet, the symptoms are tho same as ia children, loss of appetite and weight, grinding the teeth and rest less sleep, itching of the nose and anus, and abdominal pain3.1 And, tho samo medicine that surely and harmlessly ex pels round and pin worms from children will do the same for adults ?
