subscription. Before the next two banks
could be chartered it was provided that
the liability should extend so as to cover
all the personal property of the stock
holders, which, on the winding up OF these
banks after the war, was the cause OF
considerable litigation. The first OF these
two banks to be chartered was the Bank
of Fayetteville, which was later followed
by the Clarendon Bank.
The Bank of Fayetteville was located
on Hay street. near the present Bank OF
Fayetteville. It's officers were: President,
John d. Starr; Cashier William Broad

The Clarendon Bank was located IN the
old Fayetteville Hotel building on Hay

At the close of the war. when all these
banks suspended, Cape Fear Bank notes
were worth Is cents on the dollar; State
Bank, 20 cents; Bank of Fayetteville, 1O
