DEATH CLAIMS
J. A. MADDREY
Former Hendersonville
•
Banker, 69, Buried at
Winston-Salem
WIXSTON-SAI.EM, Sept. 17.
James Anderson Maddrey, 69,
663 Holly avenue, one of Win
ston-Salem's best known citizens,
died at a local hospital Saturday
morning at 4 o'clock. He was
taken sick at Asheville about two
weeks ago. He was brought back
to this city and was carried to a
local hospital for an operation
Thursday of last week. It was
thought he was improving until
Wednesday when he suddenly
took a turn for the worse and his
condition was critical until his
death.
Mr. Maddrey was born Febru
ary 13, 1865, in Northampton
county, near what is now the
town of Severn. He was the son
of Henry W. Maddrey and Ther
esa E. Liles Maddrey. He attend
ed Wake Forest college for two
years, during the sessions of
1880-81 and 1881-32. In the fall
of 1883 he accepted a position
as clerk in the store of Cooke
and Harrell at Murphreesboro
and remained there until this
business closed in 1888.
In August of 1888 he moved
to Hendersonville, accepting a
position as assistant cashier in
the bank of "George H. P. Cole,
banker,'' which in April of 1889
was organized into the State
Bank of Commerce. He remain
ed with this bank as assistant
cashier and cashier until 1902
when the bank was taken over by
the Bank of Hendersonville, when
he was elected cashier.
He remained with the Bank of
Hendersonville until January of
1907 when he moved to Winston
Salem, where he accepted a po
sition with the Peoples National
bank. In June of 1916 he re
signed this position to accept a
position with the Boyles Brothers
clothing store as office manager.
In February, 1918. he accepted
a position with the Merchants
Bank and Trust company, then
the Merchants National bank,
where he remained until 1926.
The deceased joined the Rob
erts Chapel Baptist church when
12 years of age. After moving to
Murphreesboro he moved his
membership to the Murphrees

1—THE MAKING OF THE CONSTITUTION
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION
This is the first of a series of six articles reviewing the his
tory and contents of the U. S. Constitution, in observance of
"Constitution Week" and the 147th anniversary of the Consti
tution's birth, Sept. 17, 1787.
THE Constitution of the United States, which is 147 years old
on Sept. 17, is an outgrowth of the failure of the Articles
of Confederation, by which the original 13 colonies held to
gether during the Revolution.
Under the Confederation, there was no president to enfoi'ce
the laws. Congress could not raise money directly and the
states were lax in furnishing funds.
Furthermore, Congress could not regulate commerce among
the states and with foreign countries, and could not even pre
vent the states from issuing paper money.
So Congress called a meeting in Philadelphia, "to revise th^
Articles of Confederation." The greatest men of the time took
part in that convention. George Washington lent dignity and
solemnity to it. Benjamin Franklin, then 82, gave of his ex
perience and wisdom.
James Madison made a thorough study of previous conven
tions in history and drew up the famous "Virginia Plan," which
became the basis for the Constitution.
But not before several compromises had been effected. Three
compromises are most important. The first resulted in a two
house legislature, the Senate having equal state representation
to appease the smaller states; the House of Representatives
having proportional representation to appease the larger states.
A second compromise permitted counting slaves as three
fifths, for both taxation and representation. And the third
agreement satisfied the North with the passage of navigation
acts by a majority of Congress, and the South with importation
of slaves for the next 20 years, at a tax of no more than $10
a head.
And so the Constitution was signed Sept. 17, 1789, and sub
mitted to the states for ratification by at least nine of the 13.
New Hampshire became the ninth state on June 21, 1788, and
the Constitution then became the fundamental law of the Unit
ed States.

Tuesday's Vote In Wisconsin Will Be
Test For Third Party Sentiment
B:' LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. (UP).
Sentiment for a third party
headed, by the LaFollettes and
enjoying the passive friendship
of the new deal administration
will be measured Tuesday in
Wisconsin's state-wide primary
election.
Success in Wisconsin would
lend impetus to the movement
for party re-alignment which is
making itself felt throughout the
nation. In neighboring- Minnesota
Governor Floyd B. Olson leads
the Farmer-Labor party- which
appears to be safely in control of
that state.
California offers Upton Sin
clair, former Socialist, as over
whelming: Democratic choice for
the gubernatorial nomination.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson, vet
eran Progressive Republican, was
nominated to succeed himself by
all California parties
Senator Robert M. LaFollette
and his brother, Philip, head the
Wisconsin Progressive party
ticket as assured nominees for
the senate and the governorship.
Democratic and Republican pri
maries will select November op
ponents for the Progressive slate.
Politicians are as eager for re
turns from Wisconsin as they
were a few days ago from Maine.
In 1932 Wisconsin cast just over
1,000,000 votes. The effective
ness of the Progressive appeal
will be measured Tuesday by
comparing the LaFollette vote
with the poll of the Democratic
and Republican candidates.
President Roosevelt boosted the
LaFollette cause with kind words
in his Green Bay, Wis., speech in
August. The effect of this gest
ure was reduced somewhat by
similar blessing of Democratic
governor who is a candidate to
wucceed himself.

SECOND LARGEST GROUP TO
PARKWAY HEARING TUESDAY
*
SENATE GROUP
IS URGING NEW
BANK SYSTEM
Declares Present Plan Not
Adequate for the Na
tion's Welfare
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (UP)
—The nation's banking system is
outmoded, archaic and incapable
of adequately performing func
tions essential to the economic
safety and welfare of the country,
the Senate Banking and Currency
committee charged last night.
In another of a series of reports
growing out of the stock market
investigation, the committee de
manded basic reforms.
"Reformation and correction, in
retrospect of comparative triviali
ties, will not suffice," the report
said.
"A banking system which per
mits of circumvention of.i^s,legal
safeguards merely by organization
of a corporation under the favor
able and amenable corporate laws
of a state, is fatally deficient.
"A banking system which per
mits persons, without any particu
lar aptitude, training or back
ground to legally assume the per
formance of the vital duties of a
banker, posseses dangerous poten
i tialities."
The committee's report was
,■ based chiefly on disclosures made
' in the inquiry into banking condi
1 tions in Cleveland, 0., and De
! troit, Mich.
' Events leading up to the col
lapse of the Guardian Detroit
• Union Group, Inc., and the De
1 troit Bankers' Co., were traced by
! the committee in leading up to
sharp condemnation of the entire
■ system of group banking.
The failure of these organiza
■ tions, the report said, could not be
' attributed to the stock market col
1 lapse, the depression, the banking
1 holiday or the competency or hon
1 esty of the persons controlling the
institutions.
Centralized control of unit
• banks, it was stated, "posseses in
1 herent latent deficiencies and dan
• gerous potentialities which inevi
! tably become patent when the sys
' tem commences to function."
"The most patent deficiency of
1 group banking," the report con
tinued, "is that the group is only
as strong as its weakest unit . . .
loss of confidence in one unit nec
i essarily occasions dimunition of
trust in the affiliated units. The
■ group companies must strain
1 every resource to maintain public
! faith in all the units, including
' the parent company."
Difficulties encountered by the
• Union Trust Co.» and the Guar
dian Trust Co., of Cleveland, O.,
resulted from "the unsound bank
ing practices and mismanagement
of the institution over a period of
years," the report charged.
Similar banking abuses includ
ing false and misleading reports,
loans to officers, excessive divi
dends and "window dressing" ex
f isted in both Cleveland and De
troit, it was stated.
The committee described the
i functions of commercial banking
as calling for flexible extension ol
credit to industry without undue
I risk to public deposits.
Instead of a comprehensive anc
flexible system there exists today,
the commitee said, only a "bank
ing labyrinth" which is "incohe
rent, disjointed and diversified."

Thia year the fair will be held
