MAYESV|LLE BANK CLOSED.
BANK ACCOUNTS FOUND IN BAD
SHAPE AND ORDEREG Closed
BY INSPECTOR HoLLEAfAN.
Discrepancy of $4,000 in Cash-Wil
Be Placed in Hands of Receiver.
Bad Management Alleged.

From the Daily Item July IA.
The Bank Of Mayesville has been
closed. State Eank Examiner Hol-
leman yesterday completed a thor
ough investigation Of the accounts of
the bank and found them in such a
shape that he ordered the doors of
the bank closed and the institution
placed in the hands Of a receiver.
There is a shortage of about 1000 in
the cash and other discrepancies in
the books.
The bank was organized nearly two
years ago with a paid in capital Of
s14,700. Mr.. S. M. Mccall was pres
ident, and during his administration
the bank cleared a net profit Of 20
per cent, s per cent. being paid to the
stockholders in two equal seminar
nual payments and y per cent. was
placed on the surplus fund.
Owing to determination of the
board of directors not to pay the
president any remuneration Mr.. Nc
Call resigned as a member of the
| board and refused to stand for re-
election. Mr.. Croft, Of Wilmington
n. c., who owned the controlling in
terest in the bank, was then made
| president. After his death, near the
| first of the year, the board ran with
out official head until the recent cleo
ton of Mr.. J. M. Johnson Of Marion

London, July 13.-Mr. Bryan dined
with War Minister Haldane today.
The two statesmen discussed more
completely the project advanced by
Haldane in the House Of Commons
yesterday for the reduction of arna-
ments in outlining the plans Of the
British government for army reorgan-
ization.
This is one. subject in which Mr..
Bryan has long been interested and
as he favors the reduction Of armies
is pleased at the stand the British gov
ernment has taken in the matter.
In an interview with the CORES
pondent of the Publishers Press on
the subject Mr.. Bryan said: Il listen
ed with great interest to War Minister
Haldane's speech, I believe the
scheme he advises may mark a new
era in the General reduction in the
strength Of the armies. I am much
opposed to any increase in the hght-
ing strength of the American army
or those oee cther nations. What is
wanted is application Of Intelligence
to the principal in the organization of
the forces on the basis Of efficiency
and economy. I cannot say whether
the United States will follow the ex-
ample proposed by Haldane, but hope
the scheme will go a long way to bring
about peace in the world
Mr.. Bryan said that the stand taken
by the British government would
prove gratifying to the next peace
conference.
