THEY TAKE THE OATH.
National Bankers Have to Take an
Oath Similar to That Taken by State
Bankers

National Bankers Have to Take an
Oath Similar to That Taken by State
Bankers.
To the Editor: In the interesting DIS
cussion in the House on yesterday in
relation to the repeal of the law requir-
ing the directors of State Banks to take
an oath. ETC., it was suggested that Nat
ional Banks doing business in North
Carolina do not observe the State usury
law. but charge and collect interest at
rate greater than six per cent The
National Banking Law requires all di-
rectors of National Banks to take an
oath to observe the provisions of that
law, and one of the provisions of the
law is that National Banks, in respect
to interest charges, shall not violate the
usury law of tie State in which the bank
is located. / do not understand how in
the face of this law, any director of a
National Bank doing business in this
State can consent to the charge or col
lection of q greater rate of interest than
six per cent without violating his oath.
/ know that the National Bank of Raj
eigh since the adoption of the present
usury law has not discounted single
paper nor made a single loan at a rate
of interest greater than SIX per cent.
either directly or indirectly. / presume
that other National Banks in the State
have likewise observed the present
usury law.

ANOTHER NEGRO SPEAKS.
He Denounces the Republican Caucus
and Anplauds Representative Smith.

He Denounces the Republican Caucus
and Applauds Representative Smith.
To the Editor: Allow me space in
your columns to say few words com
mcnding the action of Hon. Isaac II.
Smith. and condemning the action of the
Saturday night caucus of the Republi-
cans. or in other words. the Lilly Whites
of North Carolina, the men who are
afraid that their slaves, politically, are
throwing off the yoke of thirty-four
years duration. The negro has suffered
more indignities and ostracsm since the
Russell Butler Holton combination has
been en existence than at any
period under Democratic government.
Outwardly the white Republicans are
our friends on account of the loaves and
fishes-inwdrdly they are our bitterest
enemies. We commend Mr.. Smith:
First. Because he is an American citi-
zen and man.
Secondly. He had a right to cast an I'M
molested vote which is the guaranteed
right of all citizens of America. by the
CONSTITUTIONAL right which this very
caucus pleads will be taken away
by the Democrats. the right they are
not willing to accord to a colored man,
which is Il free vote.
Thirdly. We commend him because he
is free man and fol owed the dictates
of his own mind and voted his senti-
ments as he saw fit and therefore be-
came "a hero in the fight"
We commend the caucus:
/. Because they were incompetent to
tell what was best for Mr.. Smith to
do or for themselves.
3 Because they have brought race
riots, tribulations and damnation upon
the negroes of North Carolina and the
nation in general.
8. Because the men in that caucus
were only in the Republican party to
get what they could out of it, regardless
of their constituents, the black men.
4. But we condemn them above every
thing else for being tools of Russell,
Prtchard and Butler, presided over by
the Hon. Charles Reynolds the irwin
chile negro-hater.
Now the negroes are men of independ-
ent thoughts and actions and will never
no never again vote for party, but for
men-gcntlemen at that-and measures.

WHEN TO TAX BANK STOCK
A BANKERS VIEWS CLEARLY STATED UP.
ON TIE MATTER.
He Contends that the Stakeholder Should PA
The tx il The County in Which
he f, Sdes.

Some days ago the Charlotte Obser-
yer said that the law ought to be changed
SO as to require the cashier of bank
to give in all its stock for taxation. Ii
said:
For instance, man IN. say Chatham
county owns stock in Il Raleigh bank
Under the law as it stands, it is the
owners duty to return the stock. The
chances are that he doesn't do it, or that
he returns only a paft of it, or that he
returns it at far less than it's value"
Referring to this suggestion, a promi-
nent banker said to me yesterday:
"A stakeholder in a bank is no worse
and no better than other property own.
ers and he is just as apt to pay his taxes
as other people, and why single him out
as a class who do not pay tax? The
truth is he is more apt to pay his taxes
than any other class, for the reason that
officers of banks are required to furnish
list of stockholders in the various coun.
ties to- the State Auditor and he fur
nishes the list to the commissioners
where the stockholders reside. The bank
is also required to furnish the LIST to the
the bank stakeholder, as the law makes
many spies to tell on him.
There ought to be reason and justice
in all things. Now why should this
Chatham bank stakeholder be required t.
pay taxes to Wake county instead OF
Chatham county, or the bank to pay il
for him. as that is the same as the
| stakeholder paying it himself?

the county where he resides. Why? Be
cause his children and his neighbors

| The residents of other counties doubtless

| but they love their own children ant

"Then another view of it: Take the ma

their bona fide Indebtedness while con
ferring this right upon other moneye'

SUGGESTED AMENDMENT TO
THE LAW AGAINST LARCENY.

To the Editor: Some farmers of Pan
Their Branch township, in this county,
have suggested to me that in cases of
larceny. ENLIGHTENMENT, etc, the value of
the property stolen or iembeZzled ought
to be returned to the owner, taxed in the
bill of costs against the convicted per-
son. This appears to me not only just
to one who has lost, but will add an in
centive to prosecution.
