Important Legis lation Pending. A telegram went to the comp troller of the currency tills morn ing asking that an appraiser be sent to Shelby as soon as possible to appraise tne assets of the First National bank in order to hasten some decision as to what course to take toward the reorganization and re-opening of the institution. For a week or ten days the bank officials have been expecting an ap praiser to call, but with some 4,000 banks In the United States still closed following the banking holi day, there have not been enough appraisers to reach all the institu tions. Appraise In Person When Forrest Eskridge of the First National was in Richmond, Va. last week the assets of the bank were appraised in a measure, but it was thought best to send an exam iner here in person to review the real estate which the bank owns, review' the real estate collateral and appraise their values. Another de lay has been caused by the negli gence of some borrowers in fur nishing the bank with financial statements which are required in order that there might be a cor rect appraisal of values The examination of the Union Trust Co, has been made by the state and the report forwarded to Raleigh where it is being review and appraised by the commissioner of banks. Pending Legislation Some delay in the steps to be taken has been occasioned by legis lation pending in Washington. Within the last few days congress has made it possible for state banks to be helped financially by the fed eral reserve. Federal aid has not been within reach of state banks until this new legislation was pass ed. There is also pending, in congress the Steagall bill which permits na tional banks to establish branches and the outcome of this legislation is watched with concern. To Go To Raleigh. AH bank officials and stockhold ers of the First National and the Union Trust Co., are invited to go to Raleigh Tuesday (tomorrow) where there will be a meeting at 1 o’clock to discuss the banking situa tion in general in North Carolina. Commissioner Hood has called a conference and has wired to Shelby where there are two closed banks, urging the officers, directors and stockholders to attend this confer ence which has for its purpose the organization of a state-wide bank ing system patterned somewhat aft er the Canadian system. Several bank officials and stockholders of both local banks are planning to attend and will be glad to have others go. If you are a stockholder, you are asked to get in touch with the bank in which you are a stock holder and the trip will be planned-. B. Allen 111 At HU Home On Post Road B. Allen, prominent farmer liv ing three miles east of Shelby near the Post Road Gin is seriously ill with a heart trouble, He has been very sick for several weeks and gets little rest unless he is sitting up in bed. Roosevelt “Cure” To Take Time Is View Of Gardner Former Governor Says New Deal Has Patient Out Of Bed. Still Very Weak. “One of the most worthwhile developments of the new Roosevelt administration is that it has restor ed confidence to the man on the street." That was the opinion expressed by Former Governor O. Max Gard ner on a hurried business trip home from New York. “The man on the street, the aver age man, has about, decided that he has a better friend in the White House, one who understands his needs and wants, than in many years. And confidence is one thing this country certainly needed," the former governor added. The program of restoration and change will, however, take time, he declared. “Mr. Roosevelt has shown himself to be a good doctor, but he has his patient out of bed and walking. Yet the patient had been sick, very sick, for a long time and is still weak and it will take time tohulld up his strength and get him well again.” Dismiss Two Cases Before Commission Claims For Injuries Denied Two Cleveland County People By Commission. Two claims before the Workmen’s Compensation Commission were dismissed last week. The action of Dollie Sweezy and the Eastside Manufacturing Co., with an insurer was dismissed with each party paying its own costs. The commission ruling said “the plaintiff did not sustain an injury by accident which arose out of and in the course of employment.” The action of Lester Hughes, Kings Mountain, and the Neisler Mills and insurer was similarly dis missed "upon the finding that the plaintiff did not sustain a hernia meeting the five requirements of the act.” Weathers and Kenredy were the attorneys in the Sweezy case and E. A. Harrill in the Hughes case. No Clues To Mystery At Sandy Run Creek (Special to The Star.) Mooresboro, March 27.—No clues to the mystery, which was started last Sunday night when a Moores boro negro saw a man and two women toss something which he thought was the body of a young baby into Sandy Run creek, have been uncovered although searchers have combed the creek banks and vicinity. It is possible that the raging tor rents carried it to other distant points—then it might be that the people were on the bridge for another purpose, and that they tossed something else into the stream.

Laws Selfishly Spawned Fifty 1'ercenl Of 1,500 Mils Introduced Contain Elemenl Of Selfishness For Groups And Individuals. Examples. <M. R. Itunnagan, Star New* Bureau.) Raleigh, March rr.—Half of WT approximately 1600 bill* introduced in the 1933 general assembly have in them an element of selfishness self interest or self preservation, sometimes of the introducer, more often for some friend, or group or class, or section—or for the advan tage of one to the detriment of an other. and even sometimes to spite someone or a group or section. The half might be question, but a careful perusal of even the titles of the bills introduced, and the ti tles do not always give the full in tent, will reveal scores to '“regulate” the activities of some person or group; to “prohibit" numerous ac tivities; to “require” that certain things be done; to “abolish” many offices; to “repeal” many laws, oft en to get even with an opponent, or to toward a friend or political ally. onr-t'erran Law*. Numbers of Btate-wlde bills have been enacted, and many more intro duced to benefit Just one person, or group, or to prevent one person from doing something he is doing. A notable example is a bill intro duced to prevent persons from en tering theatres except by the regu lar entrances, originating in Eliza beth City, in a theater with a win dow through which boys would slip Into the theater. And there was no law to touch them Of course, the window could be barred, but a State law would allow prosecution. Selfish Taxes. Even the bigger bills have the selfish element.
