COTTON MILL GOES
INTO BANKRUPTCY
Ivanhoe Mfg. Co. Files Volun
tary Petition Following
Attachment of In
surance Funds
RESOLUTION ADOPTED '
The Board of Directors of the Ivan
hoe Manufacturing Company of this
city met here Tuesday and decided to
file a voluntary petition in bankrupt
cy in the United States District Court
at Raleigh. The liabilities were listed
at $692,636.30 with assets of a book
value of $834,451.16.
Several weeks ago the company
lost one of its two cotton mills, when
the one known as the old mill was
totally destroyed by fire. On account
of a shortage of funds due to the
attachment of $120,000 in insurance
money in New York City, it became
necessary to close the other mill. The
balnkruptcy petition was filed to cut
off the attachment proceedings.
The resolution adopted by the board
of directors cites the following rea
sons for seeking bankruptcy:
“Whereas Ivanhoe Manufacturing
Company has recently suffered a se
vere loss in the total destruction of
its mill No. 2 and whereas a large
sum of mdney, nearly $120,000, due
to it as insurance has been unjustly
attached in New York City by a man
who claims to be the assignee of a
corporation located at Charlotte, N.
C., and based upon an unjust claim
which this corporation has repudiated
and is ready to resist in court.
“AJnd whereas on account of the
said loss and the said attachment of
the insurance money, Ivanhoe Manu
facturing Company is unable to meet
the demands upon it and cannot at
•this time pay its iindebtednessaaudJwW'
felt it necessary to close down its
mill No. 1 and is not now manufac
turing any cotton.
“And whereas to resist the attach
ment in New York would require
much expense and loss of time, dur
ing which the operatiolns of the cor
poration would be suspended, and
there is further danger if such at
tachment is sustained of one creditor
with an unjust claim receiving much
more than his due proportion of as
sets of the corporation in liquida
tion.”
The directors of the company are:
W. H. Austin F. K. Broadhurst, E. F.
Ward, J. D. Underwood, J. H. B.
Tomlinson and J. J. Broadhurst. The
organization was without a president
at the time bankruptcy papers were
filed. Mr. B. B. Adams had been
president but about a month ago, ac
cording to our information, he sold
his stock in the mill. W. H. Austin
was vice-president; J. J. Broadhurst,
secretary; and F. K. Broadhurst,
treasurer and manager.
RECORDER’S COURT PROCEED
INGS.
The docket in Recorder’s Court
Tuesday was light, there being only
a few cases being tried. One of lo
cal interest was that of the State
vs J. A. Wellons. It will be recalled
that during the Superior Court here
sometime ago that Mr. Wellons and
Mr. A. M. Noble had some words in
the court room in regard to a case
in which they were both interested.
Following the altercation Mr. Noble
brought suit against Mr. Wellons for
assault. In the court this week Mr.
Wellons plead guilty and judgment
was suspended upon the payment of
costs.
Other cases disposed of were:
State vs. Silas Watson, assault
with intent to kill. Judgment as to
assault: defendant to be confined in
jail six months to be worked on
roads in Smithfield township. Notice
of appeal was given and the bond
was fixed at $400.
State vs Paul Anderson, carrying
concealed weapon. Guilty. Fined
$50 and costs.
State vs Ernest Watson, receiving
stolen goods. Guilty; defendant was
taxed with the costs.

BANK RESOURCES
TREBLE IN DECADE
Deposits of North Carolina
Banks Have More Than
Trebled in Same Period
The resources of North Carloina
banks have been trebled within the
last decade. Their deposits have more
than been trebled.
For the last decade bank resources
in North Carolina have increased 193
per cent as against 125 per cent far
Fifth Federal Reserve District and
111 per cent for the entire nation. ■
For the last decade individual bank
deposits in North Carolina have iln
creased 238 per cent against 157 per
cent for the Fifth Federal Reserve
District and 132 per cent for the
entire country.
These figures are for the reporting
banks, State and National, for the
decade elnding June 30, 1924, which
began just prior to the establishment
of the Federal Reserve System. The
figures are from compilations by the
Federal Reserve Bank in Richmond.
Attention to the remarkable growth
in banking facilities in North Caro
lina was brought to Governor George
J. Seay, through some comparative
figures for the last 20 years, which
were published in the News and Ob
server during the Bankers’ conven
tion in Pinehurst. Governor Seay was
at the convention and upon his re
turn to Richmond sent to this paper
a copy of a recent compilation of fig
ures with reference to this Fifth Fed
eral Reserve District.
The states within the Fifth Federal
Reserve District besides North Caro
lina are: Maryland, District of Co
lumbia, West Virginia, Virginia, South
Carolina.
Individual deposits for the dis
trict in 1914 totaled $797,044,000 while
last year they reached the sum of
$2,049,144,000, an increase for the de
cade of $1,252,1000,000.
Total resources in 1914 for the dis
trict totaled $1,266,662,000 while in
1924 the total resources were $2,848,
541.000, an increase of $1,581,879,
000.
The figures for the North Carolina
banks, both State and National, while
not as large as for the district are
evetn more remarkable in the large
increase for the decade.
In 1914 the total deposits for North
Carolina banks totaled $96,599,000,
but by 1924 had climbed to the sum
of $327,144,000, an increase of $230,
545.000.
Total resources of North Carolina
banks in 1914 were reported as be
ing $156,498,000 in 1914 while in 1924
they were placed as $459,417,000, an
increase of $302,919,000.
There has been a steady increase
in the deposits and resources for
every year except 1921, when the de
flation period put the banks on the
toboggan. Since then they have been
climbing agaiin and has already gone
beyond the totals that were reached
during the peak of the war period.

TWO PRECINCTS CARRY
The Board of County Commission
ers met in special session here yester
day afternoon at two o’clock to make
an official ca’nvass of the school elec
tion held Tuesday in the North East
ern Special School Taxing District,
The returns from the seven voting
precincts showed that the election was
lost by a considerable majority. The
total registration for the election was
4,577. It therefore, required 2,289
votes cast in favor- of the election to
carry it. Only 1,460 votes were cast
in favor of the proposition, and 2,329
against it. The election carried in two
precincts, Selma and Micro.
The vote by precinct was as fol
lows:
Boon Hill township, registration
620; votes for, 182; votes against, 313.
Beulah township: registration, 483;
votes for, 173; votes against, 178.
Micro township: registration, 335;
votes for, 176 votes against, 108.
Pine Level township: registration
410; votes for 62; votes against, 241.
O’Neals township: registration:
752; votes for 239; votes against,
469.
Ingrams township: registration,
1117; votes for 183; votes against,
760.
Selma township: registration 860;
votes for 445; votes against 260.
The election if carried would have
provided a uniform tax rate through
out the district not to exceed fifty
cents on the hundred dollars worth
of property with the exception of the
Selma graded school district which
would have levied a tax of $1.00. At
the same time a uniform school term
of eight months would have been the
privilege of those in the district ex
cept in the case of Selma which
would have had nine months as here
tofore.
