I Sullivan Victorious In I Battles With Hood Buncombe Solon Score* Again In B Skirmish Saturday I RALEIGH, MAY 14?The series ol I jegislativ. skirmishes between the I Jtate banking department and Rep- j 8 JedenUtive William A. Sullivan has i I f und the Buncombe county repre| (ntative victor in every instance. | lhe differences originated in Com9 roissioners Hood's opposition to the 9 Sullivan bank offset act, which per8 n its depositors in closed banks in 9 Buncombe to sell their deposits claimsI to debtors who can use them 011 jet against loans. | lhe bank commissioner sought to 9 have th bill recalled fom the enI rolling office, but was out-maneuI <\ered by the Buncombe solon. Efforts 9 to repeal the act also floundered, the 9 tirate tabling the Burgin repealer. I Senators i'rancis of Haywood and a Dunagan of Rutherford introduced a 8 supplement bill bringing several 1 western counties under the Sullivan I bank offset act. In the house, Rep1 resentative Sullivan brought the 9 measure from the unfavorable calR endar, where it had been consigned I by the house committee on banks 9 and banking, and passed it despite I the vigorous opposition of the comI i1 i - friends inthis b'ranch. | 45 Counties Added To Bill The final effort to defeat it was made in the senate when several sen- | ecnference comu?*n.vw. *-*1' * Millivan again won his point, bringing the report to the floor and securing approval of the house. In the senate, approval was also voted and th. bid was latilicd yesterday, adding 45 counties to its provisions including Transylvania, Cherokee, Clay Htndeison, Haywood, Rutherford, ( Macon, Avery Polk and Jackson. Commissioner Hood secured the introduction of a statewide bill which would have tepealed the Sullivan act. The committee on banks and b.?, k njj reported it unfavorably, ' bat again the Huncombe representative defeated it,, the house upholding hit motion to table it. Representative Sullivan's final victory against the state banking department came yeste'rday when he brought the Patton bank bill from the unfavorable calendar and secured its passage by the house. Text Of P&tton Bill Introduction by Senator Patton of Macon, the measure p'rovides: "Section 1. That the commissioner cf banks of the State of North Carolina shall on or before the first day ot June 1U33 and on the first day of January and July of each year theream r file with the secretary of the state of North Carolina a report showing all banks under liquidation in the Slate of North Carolina, and tfte names of any and all auditors together with the amounts paid to them for auditing each of said banks, and the names of any and all attorneys employed in connection with the liquidation of said banks together with the amount paid or contracted to be paid to each of said attorneys. If any attorney has been employed on a fee contingent upon Recovery said report must state in substance the contract. "Section 2. Within live day3 from the receipt of said 'report the secretly of the sate of North Carolina ahall cause same to be published one time in some newspaper published in each county in which a bank or banks are under liquidation, if there a newspape'r published in said county. If not, the secretary of the state of North Carolina shall cause a copy of said repbrt to be posted at the courthouse door in said county-" ?Asheville Citizen. It is understood that the Sullivan offset law is to be tested in Cou'rt by tiie State Banking Department as to jts constitutionally. Whether it will "hold water" is a matter of conjecture. Many lawyers believe it *ill not, while some are of the opinwn that it will. The liquidating agents here have received no instructions as yet from the Commisft?ner of banks, and in the absence o- any instructions are not at libe'rty 0 a?t. and liquidation will continue under the old law until instruction otherwise are received.

Owenby, Wholesale distributor in thiee states fcr one of the large f il companies, has learned, through] a co-tly experience that Vermont sy! rup will not take the place of oil ir | the operation of an automobile. When Mr. Owenby failed to return to headquarters from a business I trip to Atlanta, Ga., fears for hi: I safety, were entertained by his office 1 fo'ret. I Hours later h- drove into Murphy I and told a harrowing tale. Before leaving Murphy, he filled a quar ! bottle with oil, which he stored ir i hi car. En route he stopped at or.< of his filling stations, where th< op rator presented him with a quar bottle of unusually fine Vermont sy rup. Mr. Owenby's wife was in Mar ittta, Ga., voting and he decided t< go there for a surprise visit. Oi arriving, he found Mrs. Owenby wa down town, shopping. So he brough the syrup and oil in the house, placet them side by side on a pantry shel and then proceeded to forget abou them until shortly before he wa , j leaving. Bu.?y packing clothes, hi i asked his wife to get the quart o i oil in the pantry and pou- it inth car. She said she would do so. After getting five miles out o ! Marietta, the engine of Mr. Owenby' car slowed down and then died. Th entire motor had to be disassemble ! washed, and put together again an the 'ob took many weary hours. 'Mr. Owenby found Sirs. Owenb had made a mistake. Instead o " getting the oil, she had poured i the syrup. "That syrup cost m $22" Mr. Owenby said, "and eve then I didn't get it!" ?Citizer i Times.
