transfer c?f the assets of the old
bank, and the announcement today
that only three depositors were left
today of 'the 12 announced several
days ago who had not signed the
depositors' agreement to leave their
money in the new bank. It was said
that the remaining three depositors
who had not signed had promised
to do so in the next few days.
The meeting of the old stockholders
yesterday afternoon authorized
the transfer of the remaining assets
of their bank, and adjournment was
taken until July 15, at which itime
final action is expected to be taken

At the same time, it was announced

for the immediate payment

will elect the officers for the new
bank.
No date for the opening of the

but it is hoped that it
can get under way by the first of
August, or thereabouts, if not sooner
than that.
Stock in the new bank was sold
in the amount of $100,000, but was
sold at the price of $120 a share, so
as to create a surplus of $20,000 at

ON BUDGET ITEM
)elegation of Farmers Appear
Before Board Of
Coui^y Commissioners
^BOUT 100 ARE PRESENT
The question of the rejection or
jtention of a $2600 item for agriultural
teachers placed in the
;hcol budget by the board of eduation
was the principal problem
efore the board of county comlissioners
at their regular meeting
t the Warrenton court house on
londay.
A delegation of farmers, reore
enting practically every section of
Varren county, appeared before the
oard on Monday morning asking
hat these teachers be retained. The
ommissioners agreed to hold a pubic
hearing on the matter in the
curt room at 3 o'clock.
Approximately 100 farmers were
i the court house at the hearing
rhen Chairman John Clay Powell
avited those present to make known
heir views. J. C. Hardy, editor of
he Norlina Headlight, said that he
?as representing his people and askd
ithat the work be retained. He
tated that he opposed this work a
ear ago before Mr. Lawrence was
ppointed for the Norlina school,
ut that after a year of observation
f this teacher's work that he had
een won ever to the cause of the
gricultural teachers. He charged
hat opposition was not on account
f taxes, but because co-operative
ales of fertilizer had cut into the
upplymen's profits. Mr. Hardy calld
cn various farmers to give their
lews on the value of the work.
Another champion of the teachers
as Boyd White, committeeman
rom Norlina. Mr. White stated that
he work of Mr. Lawrence in treatag
sick farm animals for him would
ay his entire tax bill and would
ay his cost for this work for many
ears. J. V. Shearin of River, W.
l. Connell Sr., and W. A. Connell
r., of Warren Plains, Jerman Water
of Norlina, Ed Turner of Sandy
Ireek, Fletcher Br^bitat of Macon,
irancis Limer of Shocco and other
itizens spoke briefly in favor of
his work. Practically all the testilony
in favor of these teachers was
or their work cutside the school
ooms, their work as iteachers beng
overlooked in the enthusiasm
or the other phase of their work.
Speaking against the retention of
hese teachers were Evans Coleman
f Wise, Will Stewart of Sandy
Jreek, Roy Daniel of Afton-Eiberon,
loley Ferkinson of Wise, and other
itizens. Opponents of the retention
leasure stated that they had abolutely
nothing against these
eachers personally but felt that
ue to economic conditions that exenses
must be reduced.
Superintendent J. Edward Allen,
t the conclusion of the debate,
tated that he had been informed
y the state that in the event that
hese teachers were not retained
hat it would be necessary to spend
round $3,000 for equipment to
each substitute subjects and if this
/as not done the schools would lose
heir accredited standing. He later
tated, when asked the result of
chocls losing such standing, that
last Carolina Teachers College and
Jreensboro College for women,
raining schools for teachers, would
lot accept graduates from any but
ccredited high schools. Superinendent
Allen said that the cost of
hese teachers would be several
lundred dollars less than the cost
f the equipment in the event that
hey were not retained.
Commissioner John L. Skinner of
.ittlston told the citizens assembled
hat the commissioners were neither
ar or against tthe retention of these
jachers, but were sitting as a jury
o determine the wishes of the taxayers.
Following the hearing in the court
oom the commissioners met in
xecuiive session downstairs to disuss
the matter. Decision was reerved
until a called meeting of the
oard in the next few days when
bat bcdy meets to consider the inolvent
list.
With the exception of the delierations
over the question of aproving
or rejecting the i'tem in the
3hool budget providing for the agriulturai
teachers, the commissioners
ad a quiet day. A few reductions
ere granted in property, due to
smoval of timber and destruction
f buildings, two pauper were orderd
admitted to the county home,
nd the contract awarded for the
reotion of a small building at the
aunty home.
The board ordered that Margaret
/all Thomas estate, Smith Creek

alued at $250 be reduced to $50;
