Socn after making his residence in Ashevlll Carter conceived the Idea of organiz ing a National Bank and put this idea into effect although before opening lhe doors of his new bank perfected an amalgamated with the Blue Hidgc National bank of Asheville, the con solidated bunks opening under the name of the American Xational bank with Carter as president. Unlit An Klectrlts 1,1 ne. With others Carter organized and built an electric line from Asheville to Weaverville and completed plans for the extension of the road to Burns ville In Yancey county. The survey for this extension has been made but the road has nol yet been built fur ther than Weaver ville. An interesting phase in connection with the alleged defalcation and mis application of funds by Carter is the admNMon from authoritative source? that tlie directors of the bank were for a period aware of his misdeeds. They were aware, ton. that to have him in dicted at the lime of his. act would cause a run on tit" bank and would no doubt have resulted in closing Its floors, thereby causing a loss to botj) stoi kholuers and depositors, w hereas under ihe management of Mr. Jenkins lhe bank is now in good condition, the depositors have not be n bothered or disturbed and the stockholders reiir l their s'oek as worth par. lieiiirnctl in Open Court.

C Indicted Saturday at Greensboro on the chariie of misapplication of Iti? funds of the institution, maintains his innocence, declares the charge Is the result of mallei, and says the only qu.stion that ever came up between iiiniRelt and associates in the bank was "an excess line- of accommoda tions extended to a corporation." Carter has been in Oklahoma, for several days assisting in the organi zation of a trust company. "J know nothing of the so-called chars"." Carter said, "but the report as to the amount and character of the transactions in Krostsly incorrect. The only question that ever came up be tween me and my associates was about an excess line of accommodation ex tended to a. corporation In which 1 tended to a corporation in which I was interested as a stock holder. The f-in.oinl mentioned evi dently refers to that line. I put lip my personal collateral to secure that and there has not been tin open question oi- an unsettled item between me and the bank for nearly three years, and I continued to live in Asheville. 1 did not know that an investigation was Im inn made.

Carter at Muskogee to the effect that he did not know that an investigation was being made Into his affairs, made this comment: "There must be some mistake about that report for in repeated confer ence 1 found Carter to be a very Intel ligent man. lie was before me three times to 'explain his connection with the Asheville ba'nk and I accepted him and his attorney the privilege of read Inn lhe bill of Indictment upon which th" crane! Jury reported Saturday." Carter also h ' 1 : -"v."'.'. vu-'f 'rettcep with A. K. Uaddert, the special kov enmient n cmintant, who furnished the distinct attorney the data upon which Ihe indictment was based. i'hder orders from the 'postoffice departifient at Washington the local -authorities kept a record last month ! of the mail matter that Was delivered ' and collected by the rural carriers on ' the live routes running out from Ashe jville. This record shows the number! of pieces delivered and collected and ( the weiKhts. The ti is t class matter I was kept separately from the other classes so that some idea might lie obtained as to what department is niakiiiK money and what is losing. This record shows some very interest I nur fih'tirea ' ' : -'. ; The total number of tirst class pieces of mail delivered is shown as 17.6H4, with a total weight of 390 pounds. Of this class that was col lected there were 8917 pieces, with a total weight of 211 pounds. This is the matter for which two-cent postage is required and was almost altogether made up of sealed letters. The other classes are taken to 'gether and thei total number of pieces ; delivered readied 26,834, weighing to gether 4881 pounds. In these other j classes 388 pieces were collected, the i aggregate weight being 95 pounds, j The rates for the latter claases, sec ; ond, third and fourth, Is very low, and comparison may be made at a glance as to the class costing the department the greatest amount of ; money to handle. It is not known for what purpose tho department wants these figures but they will probably be considered in various ways. They will serve to show the amount of business that is being done by the rural carriers all over the country, and the comparative costs of the different classes and other ligures that will be compiled for the city carriers will make the report rather complete.
