A Well Deserved Compliment

The many friends of S. Med.
Tate will read the following from
the Raleigh Nears- Observer with
genuine pleasure
cit will be gratifying to all who
had occasion to know and to ap-
preciate the excellent and valua-
BILE work done by Col. S. Med.
Tate, while here in charge of the
broken State National Bank, to
hear that the Comptroller of the
Currency was so much pleased
with Col. Tate's excellent work
here and the dispatch, ability and
accuracy with which he managed
the affairs of the bank that he has
added to the territory under his
supervision as bank examiner the
three States of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida. Col. Tate's
territory formerly embraced West
Virginia, Virginia and North Car
olina. The Comptroller wrote
Col. Tate a letter of a most COM
plimentary character, commend
ing him for his faithful and eff
cient services in the past, and es-
specially with regard to his re-
cent labors in this city. This is
indeed a high honor and one
which is an unmistakable evi-
dence of the confidence in which
Col. Tate is held. He fully de-
monstrated his ability while here
and made many friends, who will
rejoice at this acknowledgment of
his faithful work"
