SupeTIntenUen or Bank OFFICERS STATEMENT

Concerning tL> reasons for asking the state banking department to liquidate the affairs of the bank, A. E. Jackson, presi- dent, and w. c. Sterrett cashier, issued the following signed statement which was also posted on the doors or the bank "Unfounded rumors as to the condi- tion of this bank became so general on January H 1916, that the directors met and arranged on their individual indorse- ments for large cash reserves to meet any emergency. Later in the day these rumors became more persistent, and the directors reached the conclusion that, n- asmuch as no loss could possibly be sus- tained by any creditor or depostor of the bank by liquidation, the general sit uation did not warrant further contin- ustion in business without the unanimous and unqualified support of this commun- ity.
 ''One of the chief purposes of the or Sanlzatlon Of this bank was to provide for the payment in full of all depositors and creditors of the Jefferson County Savings bank. This purpose having been fully assured, the directors and stock holders have considered that there is no obligation upon them to assume the fur ther burden which would become incident to a continuation of business in view of the general attitude reflected by the rumors referred to, and that to continue business under such circumstances would be unwise and unsafe.
 For this reason, after due considera- tion, voluntary liquidation as the only method available has been determined upon, and the superintendent of banks has been asked to take charge.
 The depositors and creditors of this bank will be paid in full, and a large equity should be available to stockhold- CTS.
 By order of the board of directors this 18th day of January, 1916.

 "A. b. JACKSON, President"

FURTHER EXPLANATION

Later in the day, the following state- ment supplementing the notices posted on the doors, was prepared and given cut for publication at the request of the directors of the bank:
 The Jefferson County bank was opened for business on August ?, 1915. with $5UO,- 900 of new capital. all of which was paid in cash. The new institution took over all assets and assumed all of the lia- bilities of the Jefferson County Savings bank, which went into liquidation one year ago today. After the close of busi- ness on January 2S. 1915, A. E. Walker superintendent of banks, assumed control of the business and assets or the Jeffer- son County Savings bank, with McLane Triton, Jr., president of the First Ma tional bank of Pell City as liquidating agent. Successive efforts were made to reopen the business of the Jefferson County bank, but the necessary new capital could not be interested until MT. A. E. Jackson, president of the Frst National bank of Decatur, Ala, and his associates, offered to take over the as- sets of the old bank, of every nature and assume the payment of it's oblga- tions, including all deposits, both gen eral and savings.
 "The new interests. assisted oy cer- tain of the old stockholders and directors and a few others in the community who were desirous of assisting in the efforts to reopen the closed bank, raised S500- eco in cash and organized the present bank, the Jefferson County bank
 ''The new bank paid all deposits and assumed and paid the savings deposits of the old bank on demand, with all interest which had accrued during the suspension of the Jefferson County Saw ings bank. Satisfactory progress was made in view of existing the suspension of the Jefferson questlonably solvent, so far as the payment of all liabilities is concerned, with a very large equity avail able for distribution to the new stock. holders.
 Within the past few days the sale of a large block of the stock of the new bank caused much comment which has ripened into rumors, undoubtedly unjust- fled, but requiring urgent action
 ''The action taken was only after ma ture deliperation, and during the course of a session of directors lasting all night
 in which the situation was reviewed with the superintendent of banks and with representatives of other clearing house banks of the city. Nothing was found in the situation to justify any cause for alarm. and while it was regretted that liquidation could not proceed without a suspension of business or without request ing the intervention of the superintendent

STATE BOARD MEETS

In order to take certain legal steps necessary to the formal assumption of charge of the bank, a meeting of the state banking board was held at at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Superin- tendent Walker, w. w. Crawford and President Little of the Peoples bank of Mobile, who constitute the board, were present. It was announced after the meeting that only routine business con- nected with taking over the bank was transacted
 The Jefferson County bank was a re- organization of the Jefferson County Savings bank, which failed to open it's doors just 12 months ago yesterday. The affairs of the Jefferson County Savings bank were taken over by the state banking department, and after working for little more than six months in an effort to reorganize, the Jefferson Coun- ty bank took over the affairs of the old bank. Five hundred thousand dol lars of new capital, all of which was fully paid in. gave the new bank strong resources, and the old depositors were paid in full. The new bank seemed to be prospering until recent dissentions were rumored which resulted in the con- ditions bringing about the close of the bank yesterday
