Borrowers Too Slow In Paying Obligations That Is One Thing Which Is Hurtinr The Credit Of The Stale Might Now By W. T. Boat, in Greensboro Nows. Raleigh. May. 1.—Whispers that hurt North Carolina come to the cap ital ever and anon, as the peels say. I and nearly all of them have to do with the financial name of a slate which well-known bankers declare hasn't such a good nnme. The difficulty with the slate ou the outside, a prominent state banker tells the Daily News bureau, is the slovenliness of the borrowers in meet ing the maturities of North Carolina paper. One of these banks a short time ago undertook to tench a little financial manners on a IIOO.OAO loan and when the borrower failed to put up, the default was charged to ac-; count. But that overdrew the depoa't! 966,(Hill and proved a costly Irseon. j over time. The bankers in the »uiu get mad about it. They don their bor rowers and threaten them. Meanwhile lenders outside tec state grow weary of this sort of business and ovary-1 wherv the state get* a knock. It »em; that tha count'c* and the cities doe* it* best to protect iU credit even at the cost of business sagacity. But a few days ago wht n the state's official.!, were in the north Mooting for money, this banker, who is going to prepare an article for the Daily Newt telling just what is the t.ooble, re marked that North Carolina would get no money now “The very sugges tion of placing a North Carolina loan vaxaa seat of these New York bank ers.” ha said, and to him it was a capital calamity. As the gentleman will speak for himself, ana name names if necu«*‘ry, he remains ramclr>* now. But hi* personality and hit institution eonnt In th* state. lie make* all necessary allowance for the stringency of the rponay market, but he rem'usbsni fur all that tha pet abomination of th ■banktir— the overdue note and the unwillingness of the borrowers Iu meot promptly their obligations. What he says should boast the bore, folks' loan to tke stale. He gr, a tty fears a big loan outside the state with; the record that counties and cities are making lot themselves- He says noth-| ing about tha campaign tor local bond; httyars, vtsch nr the Daily Nows *ug g«*ts; but anything to reduce tha carporata liabilities aad to diminish the corporate eusaednets about meet ing otaturilia* would worn to appeal to him The whole thing may be em braced u the word '‘ughastnoarllke nasa.” The North Carolina borrowers have not been attentive to their nates, and the people ooteid* the rials are talking about it. jTWO CAM?
