outgroiw^ of a fight an cutting out
at a coloi%d school east of town sev-
eial weeks ago- when a Kemp boy
was Itascevafed about the head bo
such an extent that he is still weai^
ing plenty of . bandages around hi;
head. It appeared that there wias
“bad b.'epd'' between the Kemp ai,d
Hadley fiamilies and- this fight wab
the outcome. Both drfendhnts en

The reopenmg of the Hank of

Monday, Feb. 17, by'ordw of its '
beard of directors, is expected tot
take place soon as the result of a
meeting of the depositors at Wagram
on last Monday afternoon. At this
meeting Attorney J, Dickson HcLead
of Lumberton explained . the plan
upon which it is proposed to re-open
toe bank and an agreement was
signed by practically ^1 the deposit
ors present at this meeting to that
effect.
After an examination of the
bank’s affairs by r9Rre^3itative.s o:
the State corroration . conrniission,
wthiich showed toe.ltaiUt’s; business to
iave been most honoii^y bandit and
every dollar of its-'ifonds strictly ac
counted for, it was announced that
the bank would be permitted to re
open for business, if the depositors
were willing, on condition that all
deposits ■on hand at the time the
bank was closed remain untouched
until January 1, 1932. Separate ac
counts will be kept, it is stated, of
the deposits on hand at that time and
of deposits made subsequent to the
reopening of toe bank. This v/ill al

that so good a paper as The Char

The college officials are very em
phatic in denying the report that the
college is in. dire financial straits or
that there is any likelyhood of ik
being made into a junior college, and
that any imusual nianber of faculty
changes are being made this year.
The college resente the reports and

It is understood that the bank at
Rowland last yfar was pentitoed to
reopen on a similar 'basis and that
pmething of the saipe Tfian was used
in reopening the P.mk of McColl (S.

A matter that stands everlastinrty
