North Carolina Bank Deposits
Show Increase Of $122,000,000
Past 18 Months; Loans Also Up
Report Covers 243 State And
43 National Banks Since
June 30, 1933
$341,750,696 IN ASSETS
An Increase of $122,260,323 In the
deposits in state and national banks
during the past 18 months in North
Carolina is shown in the bank call
statement released by Commissioner
of Banks Gurney P. Hood.
This Increase in deposits was
shown during the period from June
30, 1933, to December 31, 1934. The
increase in the deposits in commer
cial state banks, under the imme
diate supervision of the State Bank
ing Department, during this period
was $86,655,002, and the increase in
National bank deposits for the same
period was $34,950. The increase in
the deposits in industrial banks was
$744,321.
? The total assets of 243 state banks
and 43 national banks of December
31, 1934, according to the report is
sued recently, amount to $351,180,
471, as compared with total assets
a year ago of $272,593,400, an in
crease in assets during the 12
months from December 30, 1933, to
December 31, 1934, of $78,578,071, ex
clusive of the assets of 34 industrial
banks. The assets of the 243 state
banks at the present time amount
to $88,088,000.
One of the most significant things
about the December 31, 1934, report
is* that it -shows an increase of $6,
598,811 in loans, whereas the Octo
ber call report showed a decrease
in loans. Commissioner Hood pointed
out. This last call report also,
showed an increase in the capital
structure of the banks amounting
to $4,369,455.
"The liquid condition of the banks
in the state continues, showing
$173,000,000 in cash and bonds on
hand." Commissioner Hood said.
"Both checking and savings ac
counts show substantial gains
throughout the year of 1934. It ap
pears now that the resources of the
banks by the end of this year will
be almost at the high peak reached
before 1929."
In December, 1929. the aggregate
resources of state bank and trust
companies In the state amounted
to $341,750,69$, the highest e\?r re
corded.
During November and December,
the banking department completed
the liquidation of 29 additional
banks, paid claims to closed banks
amounting to $3,133,830. and wrote
and sent out 59,785 checks.

SHORT SERMONS
By J. B. CURRIN
A SOURCE OF WISDOM
A short time before his death the
apostle Paul in writing to his be
loved friend Timothy said, "from
a child thou hast known the Holy
Scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through
faith which is in Christ Jesus."
What he called the Holy Scrip
tures was the Old Testament. Tim
othy did not have the New Testa
ment as we have.
There are many sources of infor
mation on many subjects. It is easy
to find information on business,
political, social, professional, and
many other matters.
But here we read of that which
is able to make one wise unto sal
vation. And how important salva
tion is ? salvation from the guilt and
power of sin. Of all things we need
nothing quite so much as we do
salvation, and the results of noth
ing else will last so long.
The Bible, Paul says, is able to
make one wise unto salvation. The
salvation Is by faith, and the faith
| is in Jesus Christ. But it is the
knowledge of the Scriptures that
leads to this faith.
That being true we should
search the scriptures, for Jesus said
they testify of Him. If we would
know about Him we should study
the facts He has given us of Him
self.
Then what shall we say as to the
individual to learn of the Savior
through His Word? That opportuni
ty surely has never been better |han
now.
With the Bible being sold for only
a few cents and with the education
necessary for reading it why should
anyone be ignorant of its teachings?
With easy books that carry its
| truths even small children may be
| come familiar with it. With papers
and radio broadcasting it, how can
one fail to know much of it.
Such is the opportunity .of our
people to secure the knowledge that
leads to salvation. 2nd Tim. 3:15.

Nudity Not Enough
Says Sally Rand
"Nudity in dancing is not enough,"
says Sally Rand, "and there is
nothing new about it. It has to be
merchandised like anything else,
and people who think my good
fortune is due to waving a couple
of fans and lucky news breaks are
altogether mistaken."
"I saw a long time ago that just
as in business the difference be
tween a star and an ordinary per
son was the difference in the
amount of money spent in adver
tising and publicity. And though
most manufacturers change the
wrappers of their products frcm
tin^e to time," says Miss Rand in
the April Review of Reviews, "I
removed mine altogether."
'.Another thing, you have to offer
something new. I substituted a
sixty inch bubble for my fan cos
tume, and people seemed to like it
The public rarely sees such large
bubbles. I had to have them .piade
to order. The idea Was good, but it,
too, had to be carefully merchan
dised before it caught on. Nudity
is no longer news."
