As there is a law in the State of North Carolina which prohibits any notary from protesting any check if the drawee bank re- fuses to pay it in cash and tenders exchange in payment, the condition thus created renders it difficult for banks in this city to collect checks drawn on said State banks in the State of North Carolina. In order to protect ourselves, the members of | the Washington, D. C., Clearing House Associa- | tion have decided that after Monday, February | 28th, 1921, they will not accept any checks drawn | on any of the State banks in North Carolina | which are parties to the said suit except for col- | lection and with the distinct understanding that | credit for such checks shall be given only upon | final payment. ‘ THE WASHINGTON, D.
