The bill, together with preamble, .
follows :
"WHEREAS, it is not in keeping'
with our traditions nor with o;ir :
ideas of the functions of a great j
State government, nor the protection ?'
such government should afford its i
citizens, that such state or its sub-/
divisions should exploit its citizen-;
ship to the extent of taking their pri
vately owned properties without just
compensation therefor, and, j
Whereas, it is ar.d iias been the,
policy of the State of North Caroli-J
na, and its several sub-divisions or '
counties, to take from the individual ?
citizens of said state, properties, th'*;
forty times the amount that such;
actual cash value of which is, ten to
citizens are due the state; that neith
er the state nor its sub-divisions,
claim, nor pretend to claim, that thei
amounts for which such properties;
are taken and appropriated by the:
state or subdivision constitute a "justi
compensation" therefor, now there
fore. I
The General Assembly of North i
Carolina do enact:
SECTION l. That hereafter,;
neither the State of North Carolina,'
nor any county, city or town, or J
other taxing authority now existing j

manner take, acquire or pass title to, -
any property, whether real or per-J
sonal, belonging to or owned by, in- j
dividuals or corporations, whether'
residnt or non resident of r-ai I slate,!
the cash value of which is reason-!
abl.v in excess of one hundred per,
cent more than the amount of the'
taxes, assessments or other claims
for which such property is to be
sold.
SECTION 2. That hereafter it
shall bo lawful to sell only so much
of any property, by whomsoever,
owneii. as will be reasonably suffi
cient to okv the amounts lawfully
charged or assessed against said
property. !

just beyond the state line, and
Charles Cunningham, driver, also en

Saturday night, Hall Gray started

Asks For Law Allowing Bank
Accounts To Be Traded Here
Persons having deposits in the|
closed Brevard Banking company!
and other closed banks in North :
Carolina, will, if a bill passes which .
has been introduced by Wallace Gal-i
loway, representative in the General
Assembly from Transylvania coun-'
ty, be allowed to sell their accounts,
to persona or firms owing the bank,'
j and the purchaser may offset such j
deposit against his debt to the bank I
:ind receive credit in full for his debt:
to the bank and the amovnt so pur-!
chased.
As interpreted, John Doe had '
4-100 on deposit in the Brevard Bank]
when that institution closed its;
I doors in 1930; Sam Smith owed aj
>100 note at the bank, but had no!
money on deposit; the bank has riot j
oaid Mr. Doe amount <lur> him on his.
deposit, and neither has Mr. Smith!
paid the bank the amount owed by i
him. Now, under the proposed bill, |
Mr. .Smith can purchase the ac- 1
count of Mr. Doe and apply it on his!
indebtedness, thus allowing Mr. Doe]
to get something on his deposit and)
at the same time allowing Mr. Smith |
j to pay off his indebtedness to the j
bank. . j
The bill, as introduced last week
by Mr. Galloway, is attracting much
attention over the state. Following
is copy of bill:
WHEREAS, there are many
ihousanda of citizens of North Car- ,
olrna, who had deposits in the soy- j
eral banks of North Carolina, that ?
are no-v closed, and,
WHEREAS, many of these banks
now in process of liquidation, have
paid no dividends whatever to the
depositors or other creditor;, while
many others have paid only small
and insignificant, dividends, and in
many cases there seems no prospect 1
of ar.y immediate further payment!
to depositors, and other creditors,!
now tnerefore, |
The General Assembly of North I
Carolina do enact:
SECTION 1. That any person,
firm or corporation, society or or- i
ganization. by whatsoever name des-j
i^nated, having any moneys or funds
r.-n deposit in any bank of North
Carolina, that is now closed and
which has not paid it'i depositors
and other creditors in full shall,
from and after the ratification 0/
this act, have authority to sell and
convey such accounts or dene-sits to
any person, firm or corporation thai
m.-.y desire to purchase same and
who owe such closed banks any
-loney, and such person, firm or
corporation, purchasing such ac
count or deposit, shaii be entitled to
apply such account or deposit to the
iischarge of any debts owing by
them to such closed banks at the
full face value .if such account orj
deposit.
SECTION 2. That all laws and j
clauses of law in conflict with the \
provisions of this set are hereby re

J However, Mr. Burleigh said that

one, in that the animal had the

I by citizens who had ssen the ar^mai

characteristics of a coyote, but that

Mr Burleigh said that it was

destroyed small game and even gone
into the chicken killing business on a

People ''Stirred Up" Over Bill As
Regards Hunting-Fishing Licenses
Representative Wallace Galloway'.
proposed fish and game bill con
tinues to hold center of the stage in
this count?! with interest growing
keener as the days pass.
Opponents of the proposed meas
ure (which would a'low hunting and
fishing upon the premises of proper
ty owners in the county upon in
vitatioil of the owner without
license; allowing fishing at all time
in the French Broad by citizens of
the county without license; and al
low trapping, netting or basketinjr
fish for family use in the French
Broad by prjperty owners) are em
phatic in their assertions that to al
low the bill to be passed would be
ruinous to the county from a tourist
standpoint, in that the fish and
game stock would be depleted with
in a couple of years to the place
where people would no longer care
to come here for the sport, and in 1
this way work a tremendous hard
ship upon all people of the county,
both farmers and business men.
A number, estimated to be in ex
cess of one thousand, have signed
petitions which will be presented tr
Renresentative Gallowav within the
next few days, asking that he pus*1
*>is fight to exempt th^> French Bioa'1
from the Stat" wide gamolaw. The
petition is as follows:
We the undersitmed citizens and
"lavnayers of Transylvan:a county
''nrrhy heartily endorse vn,ir bill to

have same enacted into law, and if
for any reason you cannot pet the
' bill through and into law, thnn we
respectfully petition that Transy
lvania county be taken entirely from
| under the present state wide game
; and fish laws and that you pass an
jact applying only to Transylvania
i county, for the propagation and pro
! tection of our game and fi<=h.
One petition in the hands of Har
rison Nelson, is said to have had
! 48<> names on it Tuesday afternoon,
with six other petitions being cir
culated through the county.
Statstics from the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and De
; velopment, covering a period <if
, three years, show that Transylvania
county has received in salaries paid,
more than the amount spent by
residents of the county for license,
and that a total of 618,973 trout
have been brought into th>? county
from the state operated hatcheries,
together with 76 Mexican qnail, 20
pheasants. 3 wild turkeys and 33
settings of pheasant eggs.
