Franklinton, La., Sept. 25, 1913 The Era-Leader is authorized to announce Bascom D. Talley as a candidate for delegate to the Constitutional Convention from Washington Parish, in the coming Democratic Primary election, Oct. 14th. Franklinton Bank Forced to Close. Franklinton, La., Sept. 22.-State Bank Examiner William L. Young and Assistant Robert H. Ward came last night and this morning ordered the Union Bank of this place closed. The bank operated a branch at Hackley, which was ordered closed with the parent bank. Mr. Young gave as his reason for closing the bank that he considered it dangerous and hazardous an account of excessive loans. No regularities are expected to be found and it is believed that if the bank is conservatively liquidated that the depositors will be paid in full. Steps will be taken to endeavor to reopen the bank immediate ly by getting other interests to take over the assets and pay the depositors. This will save the delay of a regular liqidation proceeding. The bank officials are H. B. Magee, president, J. S. Brock Jr., active vice president, S.H. Burris and F. M. Brown, vice presidents, Robert Babington, cashier, W. S. Burris and J. H. Dickinson, assistant cashiers. The Union Bank was formed by the consolidation of the bank of Franklinton and the Farmers and Merchants bank the first of the year. The two banks are the oldest in the parish. Since the failure of the Bickham banks last May confidence wavered in the Union Bank, and it failed to get an increase of deposits that should came along at this season of the year. Franklinton, La., Sept. 23. The excitement occasioned by the suspension of the Union Bank has materially subsided if ever existed. A few persons were seen to make a demonstration by violent gesticulation and loud talking, but nothing serious occurred. Rumors prevail to the exten that at the time of organization of the Unian Bank by the inergink of the Farmers and Merchants Bank with the Bank of Franklinton, Examiner W. L. Young's suggestions were closely followed in every detail, including the acception of the portfolio of loans as it then stood. At that time the Babington interests aggregated some hundred thousand dollars, which amount was being carried by the bank of Franklinton; but on the merger this amount was reduced to about sixty thousand dollars. From February, the time of actual consolidation the two banks, no objection seemed to exist as to the Babington paper. But a short time ago the Babiugtons reduced their obligation $4,000. Apparently Mr Young was not aitogether satis. tied, for without notice, some directors state, he ordered the bank closed, giving thew no chance to make good any detier ency. The opinion expresse. among commercial wen is thise snap judgment had been tak by the bank xaminer having effect the DISTRUCTION of the ii

Babingtons Apply For Reciever. Franklinton, La., Sept. 24._As an aftermath of the sus pension of Union Bank, the real estate firn of Babington Brothers Limited, capital paid in $150,000, has resolved to accept citation for an application for a receivership, and H. Willis Magee, having a passed due claim of $3,100, has petitioned the district judge for receivership to liquidate, and Robert Babington, formerly cashier of the crippled bank, has been appointed receiver under a bond of $15,000. The liabilities of Babington Brothers, Limited, cannot be ascertained for a week, but the assets are stated to be $200,000, represented by holdings in reality, principally situated in Washington and St. Tammany Parishes.
