The Joint Stock Land Bank has au
thority under this law to make loans
for periods of from 5 to 40 years, but
is not permitted to charge a commis
sion. It is however entitled to receive
compensation for examination of titles,
surveys,, appraisal expenses, etc., and
the extent of loans permitted to a
single borrower is 15 per cent of its
capital, in this case being a maximum
of $37,500.
These loans may be repaid on the
installment plan, of fixed amounts to
be paid annually or semi-annually, and
sufficient to extinguish the debt in not
less than 5 years or more than 40
years; and at the end of the first 5
years additional payments in multi
ples of $25 if tendered must be accept
ed, it being thus provided that the
borrower may pay off the entire loan
with interest charges to date, at' any
time after the expiration of the first
5 years.
The bank will be subject to the same
federal examination that is provided
for other banks under the national
banking act. It is therefore under the
supervision of the United States gov
ernment at all times. t
It is stated that the policy of this
bank will be to loan money on the
most desirable farming lands in North
Carolina and Virginia, and while loans
may be made up to $37,500, this bank
will encourage the borrowing by indiv-
ual farmers with smaller areas and
thus as far as practicable to attempt
to carry out the spirit and intent of
the law in an effort providing for aid
ing the greatest number to engage in
farming to be benefited and encour
aged by the liberal lending facilities.
The temporary offices of the bank will
be maintained with the Guaranty Title

THE INDEPENDENT has just con
cluded the purchase of a Model 1
Mergenthaler Linotype typesetting
machine. This machine and its equip
ment when installed will be the most
complete machine typesetting outfit in
northeastern North Carolina.
The machine and its equipment wil?
cost over $4,000 in addition to the cosl
of installation. It has six type maga
zines with a range of ten1 different
faces of type, enabling the operator tc
set practically every line of type re
quired in the most complicated display
advertisement, as well as the genera"
run of straight reading matter.
Years ago THE INDEPENDENT
found it cheaper to contract for its
machine typesetting, than to buy z
machine. But times have changed and
THE INDEPENDENT is growing al!
the time. This newspaper has reached
a point where it can no longer depend
upon outside plants for its machine
type composition. THE INDEPEN
also contemplates improvements which
will require greater typesetting facili
ties. An illustration of the machine
purchased is shown herewith.
This machine is the same mod?l
used by Jack Wells Linotype Printery,
the only difference being in the number
of magazines and equipment. Mr.
Walls at present handles practically all
of the machine type composition re
quired by this newspaper.
