let: That your Committee did examine the records of Harnett, Sampson, Johnot
Cumberland and Wayne Counties as to Chattel Mortgages owned by time merchants
residing in this county. That a list of the chattel mortgages owned by sash
time merchant has been forwarded to that merchant in *atom where the &meant
listed by the said merchant was not as largo as the total amount of the mort-
gages. Some of these eases have boon adjudged; other@ are still pending.
Ends That your Committee caused to be made a list of all the unoaneeliod real
estate mortgages and deeds of trial appearing on record in Harnett County. Tp
make this list it was necessary to road the anogneollod mortgages and make
notes concerning the same. In making this list your committee was ably assist
ad by Miss Noll Los and Mr. lageno Summorell. After a list of all real estate
mortgages and deeds of treat had been pompliled, cash mortgage owned by the
same individual was placed on a separate list. A oopy of this list was sent t,
each individual in cases where the amount of notes secured by said mortgage or
deeds of trust was greater than the amount listed.

the mortgages or deeds of treat as appeared of record, on a fora letter, a cop;
