Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 8.-Roland
Hayes homecoming-a concert here
December 18, his first appearance in
his native state-was one of the
greatest triumphs of his remarkable
career. The vast auditorium where
the annual Grand Opera season is
staged was crowded with an audience
of five thousand, the two races being
represented in nearly equal numbers.
The singer gave remarkable pro-
gram, leading off with number of
the great classics and closing with a
group of Negro spirituals. The uni
versal verdict was that the event was
a triumph of the highest order. The
public and the musical critics alike
were most enthusiastic in praise of
both the singers voice and the per-
fection of his art. The accompani-
ment by William Lawrence also re-
ceived the highest praise.
Many of Atlanta's most prominent
music lovers were sponsors of the
concert, including the head of the
biggest bank, the editors of two of
the great daily papers, well known
millionaire, and many others-both
men and women. The colored sec
ton of the audience, filling half the
vast arena, was equally representa-

Elizabeth City, N. c., Jan. An
audit of the financial condition of the
Albemarle Bank which closed it's
doors on Christmas Eve through lack
of funds to meet incoming checks,
was being made Tuesday following
appointment of P. H. Williams, pres
ident of the Savings Bank and Trust
Company, as temporary receiver.
Thus far, nothing definite has been
disclosed as to the condition of the
bank, or the extent to which depos-
itors will be protected.
Bank Examiner Visits.
The appointment of Mr.. Williams
as receiver was made by Judge
Henry A. Grady, presiding over the
term of Superior Court now under
way here after a survey of the situa-
tion by Clarence Latham, chief bank
examiner for the state.
AS matters stand, a definite an
nouncement as to the condition of
the bank will await the outcome of
the audit now being made by w. S.

bank, was arrested Thursday on a
charge of embezzlement, and is held
in Jail in default of bond. The war
rant for Hollands arrest was sworn
out by w. S. Coursey of Charlotte
accountant, who began an audit of
the banks affairs Wednesday.
Hollands arrest followed the dis
covery of shortage of more than
$4,000, according to P. H. Williams,
temporary receiver of the Albemarle
Bank. 1t is rumored that the short
age is in the neighborhood of $780,
900, though hope is expressed that
additional assets will be found in
the course of the audit, and thereby
the total of the shortage may be re-
duced.
Holland returned from Evansville,
Ind, having left for there the day
the bank closed. His wife is said to
be living in Evansville. eff 1 have
