Raleigh, Sept 22. The Bank of
Merry Oaks, Johnston county, has
been closed by order of the corpora
tion commission owing to the discov
ery of a shortage which took both Its
capital stock and undivided profits.
The amount involved Is $6,636. The
depositors will lose nothing.
Assistant Bank Examiner, John G
Nichols made Wednesday of last week
an examination that showed Cashier
Walter L. Norrls to be out of balance
on ready funds. Three notes were
found in the Item "bills receivable'
for the respective amounts of $2,150,
$3,167 and $1,319. On the face of the
last two notes was written "This not?
is given to cover the overdraft of C,
W. Weir." His books also showed
Mr. Weir's account overdrawn $526.25
this Item completing the depletion of
the capital and profits.
Saturday Mr. Nichols was asked to
take charge, but the directors hoped
to do something Monday. It was
found, however, that nothing could be
done and Mr. Nichols has the funds
in charge now. The doors have been
closed and will remain so until mat
ters take another turn. ,
The little bank of $6,000 capital
stock was organized In October of 1910
and had done well. It had $36,000
deposits and had been declaring divi
dends. -The closing today Is no fail
ure of the bank as a financial venture
and in nowise reflects the business
health of the community. The depos
its do that much better, the commis
sion declares, and had the cashier not
allowed Mr. Weir unusual privileges
there had been on trouble. It is said,
to his credit, that he made no false
entries and put the notes in the bank
of his own accord. These notes are
not endorsed and are Mr. Norrls' own
accounts. It is said they are not now
good. He may make them so.
Tloosevelt Invited.
The North Carolina state fair man
agement has invited Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to be the Thursday attrac
tion bt fair week. The colonel does
not yet. know that he has been In
vited and the fair people will send a
committee to see him personally.
Doubtful as the colonel's coming ap
pears on general principles to be, It is
nevertheless remembefed that he had
an earlier date for the state and that
he has not yet come. While the visit
is not meant to have any political sig
nificance as the first was to have had,
the progressives would like greatly to
have him in the state this fall. It Is
thought Colonel Roosevelt will give
his answer this week.
Collector J. W. Bailey returned to
his office this morning after an ab
sence of two weeks.
Mr. Bailey was delighted with his
anchoretical experience. He saw and
heard nothing of business while gone,
but spent several of his days In tho
Pojo grounds watching Christy Math
ewson and understudies pitching.
"Mathewson is an artist," Mr. Bai
ley said this morning. "He has been
called an Institution, not a baseball
player, and he is an institution. He
never hurries and he never worries.
He plays the game all the time, is
beautiful to look at and Is the Polo
idol. He is cheered each Inning as
he walks from the box. and he gets
such applause as you rarely see given
any man. He didn't give a base on
bails, he mixed his slow high ones
with his swift low ones and did it
with the simplicity that makes It i
consummate art. He won, too."
Mr. Bailey climbed one of the Go
tham babels and looked over the city.
He had never seen New York before,
He had merely been there. Back in
his office he says he doesn't know i
thing, hasn't seen any sign of depres
