NO FARMER WHO TRIED HAS BEEN

CLOSED OUT IN LAST TWO YEARS

IS REPORT OF ARDMORE BANKER

"Not one farmer in Carter county has been closed out by any of the local banks within the past two years if he has shown any disposition to make good, and try to help himself along," said M. Gorman of the American National bank this morning, while the question of bankers and farmers was under discussion.

Mr. Gorman said that some had been dealt with, but they were invariably of the class who would pack up and leave without notice, leaving the banks that had supplied him to make a crop, to collect in the best way they could, but even these were rare instances, he avers.

In the case of the defunct State National bank, Mr. Gorman said he presumed the receiver had to use such measures as he thought expedient in order to liquidate, but speaking for the other institutions as well as the American National, Mr. Gorman said that banks had helped, and were continuing to help the farmer in every way possible to come out on top.

"When I tell you that the banks have carried men from year to year against their will, in order to see if they could not make good, I am telling you the truth," Mr. Gorman said. "I recall six men right off the reel that came to me and asked to be relieved when the times looked the darkest. I talked them into sticking to it; three of them have paid up in full, while the other three are rapidly getting above board," he said.

"The farmers and bankers of Carter county have always worked together in perfect harmony," Mr. Gorman said, "and there never has been a time when a man showed a disposition to be on the square, that he could not secure help from any of the local banks with which he chose to do business, all this report about local banks squeezing the farmer is untrue, Ask any of the heaviest borrowers among the farmers for verification of this statement," he concluded,

Some time ago certain depositors with the defunct State National Bank determined to secure a statement of its affairs from the receivers, and with that object in view, secured a list of the depositors who were in favor of such a movement that a meeting might be held, and the matter inteligently discussed. Pending that,period Harold Wallace had formulated a proposition for the reorganization of the bank which he stated he would submit to the depositors as soon as they held a meeting. One of the largest depositors at the meeting Tuesday afternoon stated that they were not ready to divulge what his proposition was, but added that it was entriely satisfactory to all depos. itors concerned and if the matter can be legally sunctioned, believed that the bank would reopen as an early date.
