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.

SYRUP IN CAR
COST MAN $22
'MURPHY, May 13. (Sp <Nal> ?
Paul N. 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
