NEW BANK IS NOT
TO OPEN IN CITY
Following a meeting of the board
of directors of the newly chartered
Charlotte Bank & Trust Company
Wednesday night, it was announced
the bank would not open. It was
recently Chartered by the Secretary
of State and had quarters at 214 East
Trade street, where T. T. Cole and
associates had originally planned to
open a band but disposed of their
charter, bank fixtures and all assets to
Marvin A. Turner and others.
Officers and directors of the bank
had also been chosen, the officers in
cluding Marvin A. Turner, president;
Sterling Graydon, vice-president, and
Ira B. Turner. J. R. Shuford and
W. L. Brooks among the directors.
The decision not to, open the bank
was made mainly because of the fact
that Mr. Turner, who haa been for
some time connected in an important
capacity with the Citizens National
Bank at Union, S. C, could not give
up his position there to come here
and open the local bank.
The bank here 'was chartered to
have an authorized capital stock of
$125,000. The bank corporation has a
five-year lease on the quarters where
it was to have opened.

number caused their arrest in Mary

Tally, wanted in Greensboro for mur
der, and inquiry established the fact
that the car had been stolen from
Salisbury.

as having been stolen from his store,
were found under the floor of a tailor
shop next door to Shuping's store Wed.

money that had disappeared from the
pocket of a customer of the tailor while
his clothes were in the shop for repair.
The tailor, A. Shuckel, and a negro
helper, were required to give bond for
a hearing later.
