The bill to incorDorate the Rank Of

Mr.. Sutton said that this bank asks |
Tor no special privileges. We do not |
want to fetter the money of the country. |
The only question at issue is can |
married woman, who deposits money,
take 1t outs Take the Savings banks Of |
Raleigh and elsewhere. Married wo.
men are allowed to deposit money witt
or without the consent Of her husband.
ls 1t right to prohibit her from with
drawing her money without the consent
Of her husbands If she has no power.
she ought to have the power. Under
the lawe Of North Carolina, she has the
right. He read extracts from the laws
Of ether States showing that aIl laws
tend toward the independence of mar
ried women. In North Carolinatha sep
arate use fund has been general. In the
case of Kirkham vs.. Bank of Greensboro.
1t was decided. She deposited $500.
| which Was collected by her attorney and
deposited in Bank OF Greensboro. and
turned over to her. She drew part IN.
on her check and then died. Her hns.
band brought suit against the bank b.
cause he had not signed checks. The
court held that if she had no power to
take it out of the bank, she had no right
to receive it from her attorney.
The right OF married woman who.
when she makes a deposit, to draw it
out at her plersure is recognized An
hundred charters granting this privilege
has already been granted.
Mr.. PEBBLES did not want to throw i'm
pedlments in the way of married wo-
man. He wanted to protect them. He
also wanted to protect minors and wo-
men. Attempts had been made - <
empt guardians and others from liability
by depositing money in certain banks. /
oppose all these attempts. II married
woman puts her savings in bank, she
8 can take it out now. There needs nc
law to secure this, provided the bank
