1 Colerain Bankrupt Pays Off
Every Cent of Indebtedness
Closed Bertie County
Banks Also Paid De
positors 100%
Bertie County has the only case
that has come to light, of a man who,
A entering bankruptcy during the
||k“speU” of bank failures and business
tbi&rashes some time back, has paid
? 3»ck every cent he owed, plus all in
terest, plus cost of bankruptcy court,
plus administrator’s costs, and then
had cash money left over for his
estate.
V. B. Mizelle, .of Colerain, who for
many years conducted a merchandise
business in that town, accomplished
this feat, during a period when indi
viduals, corporations and national
governments were repudiating their
debts, bonds were going for half their
face value, and general business con
ditions were far from heart’s desire.
Final settlement of Mr. Mizelle’s
estate last week, brought out the
startling fadt that every person or
firm he owed had been paid in full,
with all interest included, and all in
cidental costs of bankruptcy proceed
ings had been paid up, and all other
(debts settled, and then there remain
ed $298.00 left over for the estate.
Bertie county lawyers declare that
never before in their experience has
anything like that happened in this
part of “the world.
R. W. 'Herring, of Fayetteville, was
■.referee in bankruptcy. Mr. Mizelle
went into bankruptcy in 1931, in the
general period of depression that
sounded the death knell to many good
business men in Eastern North Caro
lina. He had conducted a business iri
Colerain for many years, but found
himself “caught short,” along with
•others. Bankruptcy seemed to be
the only way out. Since that time,
"he has witnessed the repayment of all
his obligations, and his business af
fairs set in order. He died about a
, month ago, and now his estate has
approximately three hundred dollars
In cash left over out of the realiza
tion of assets that have been liqui
dated.
In this connection, Bertie county
people remember with a tinge of
justifiable pride that this county had
the only two banks that paid off
every depositor 100 cents on the
dollar and then had money left over,
after having gone down in the epi
demic of bank crashes of the ’3O-’3l
period. The bank of Lewiston, in
County, paid back every penny
to every person it owed, and then an
•?flklra percentage besides, for “good
measure,” and the Bank of Kelford,
also a Bertie institution, paid back
all depositors 100 cents on every
dollar it owed. It is said that no
other banking institution in North
Carolina equalled this record.
