R. G. Harrison Appointed
First National Receiver
And Takes Over The Bank
Named By Comptroller of
the Currency To Have
Charge of Institu.
tion's Affairs
NEW OFFICIAL IS
FROM WILLIAMSTON
Is North Carolina Man and
Experienced in Banking;
Expects to Have Statement
To Make Later; Interest
Intense Here in Reorganiz
ing Plans.
R. G Harrison .of Wllllamston. has
been appointed as receiver for the
First National Bank of Henderson,
which closed on Saturday. January 2.
and was in the city today being check
ed In to take charge of the affairs
of hte bank.
11. L. Barnett, Jr., of Charlotte, a
national ba|tk examiner, who has been
in charge at the bank since It closed,
but who has been away for the last
several days, was back today and was
checking in Mr. Harrison, who will
be in charge from this time on until
some disposition of the bank is made.
Mr. Harrison told' the Daily: Dis
patch today when asked for a state
ment that there was nothing that he
could say at this time, but that he
might have a statement later. He said
he would be busy all day with the
transfer of the affairs to him from
Mr. Barnett. He is a North Carolina
man. from the eastern part of the
State and an experienced banker.
Interest is still intense in the city
and county over the prospects of
whether or not the First National will
be reopened. Much talk has been had
as to plans that may be followed, and
the best information available is that
it will probably be possible to reopen
the bank under certain conditions.
Definite steps to that end have been
impossible, it Is understood, pending
the appointment of a receiver, and j
now that such an officer has been
named by the comptroller of the cur
rency in Washington, who has charge |
of national bank affairs, it is hoped :
that the movement may be quickened ,
somewhat. It is understood that of-1
ficials and stockholders of the bank
have been very much interested in |
the effort to revive the bank, and j
that several conferences have been j
held with that in view. It is also un- i
drstood that some citizens who were
Dot stockholders in the bank have
expressed a willingness to assist in the
reorganization undertaking.
