People Owing Note* at Closed | Banks Must Make; Curtail* meat on Notes In vlev of the fact that there have bson several suits started rei.en'lv against parties o-ving notes at the j rinsed Brevard Banking company, ti.-e attorney for the liquidating ug3ii'i j was asked 10 give the poi>y of t^j Banking Department in regard to these matters. i Mr. Kimzey states that it is no' the policy of the Banking Depart ment to brine legal action against against any parties who arc regular- , ly curtailing iheir notes, but in view ? of the fact that many parties who c wed the Brevard Banking company 1 at i's closing date V -ve not paid any- j thing on th?ir notes, nor seemingly \ made any effort to do so, that the Banking Department has requested that legal action be taken against | those who are not making any effort to pay their notes. Mr. Kimzey states that the depos- [ itors of Brevard Banking company are very anxious to receive a divi- , d"nrl, but it is impossible to pay this 1 dividend unless the parties who owe ' the bank at least start paying their . obligations. It was also stated that in cases ' where suit has been started and the j parties have made arrangements to 1 make regular payments, no matter ; .v small, no judgments have been tiVen, or will be taken. In cases whree it is necessary to take judg- , ment, it is not the policy of tne Banking Department -to issue execu- , tion and sell the property of the de fendants at this time*, but the Bank ing Department, will expect these judgments to be paid off in a reason able time, or it viil b? necessary to issue execution upon them.

Ewbanks, prominent Hcndersonville attorney, he'd the attention of thv large crowd for nearly an hour as he cited his reasons for opposing the present prohibition laws. A total ab stainer himself, he declared that the civil right of a man who wanted to drink whiskey were taken from him by the 18th Amendment, and further charged that the law was not being enforced, only as pertaino to the "little fellow" who is be:rtc Xiflroaded to the jail and prison while. a favored few were -allowed to procure and drink without molestation by the authorities. Enforcement of the prohibition laws has been a failure wherever and whenever tried, Mr. Ewbanks as serted, not only in the United States but in other countries. Even th- ?'????th penalty" imposed bv " thr> Ctfwrse thousands of years ago, and again when the death penalty was imoosed by Mohammed in later years in an endeavor to prevent drinking, al though thousands t">0". thiusf'i's of people were put to r'eath. ?h.-> law was disobeyed even as it is today. "No law ran be tnforccd anvwhere, any time when there is a Iprge and conscientious minority taking the stand against its enforcement, -ml there is a largo minority opposed to the 18th Amendment,'' Mr. Ew'iir.ks asserted.
