EDGECOMBE COUNTY
MEMBERS PROFITING
Gel $18,870.46 For Hogs,
Poultry, Dairy Products
And Sheep Last Year
Raleigh, Aug. 25 -(AP»—Members
of the Edgvcumb. county livestock
association sold $18,870.46 worth of
ho®*, poultry, datrv products and
■haap during the year ending July 31.
Herman W. Tailor. Edgecombe farm
agent of the N C. State College Ex
tension service, reported this week to
Dean I. O. Schaub
Items sold by the livestock growers
include 2.808 pounds of live poultry
for $355-62; H7 head of sheep for
3M9 78 11 264 pounds of bulterfat for
$2.94066; >and 9.165 hogs weighing
406.340 pounds for $15^576.40.
The hog feeding venture in Edge
combe during the past year was not
so profitable as usual because of low
prices for pork but the aggregate of
the sales added considerable wealth
to those who grew the animals and
fattened them on their own home
grown corn. Taylor said.
Mr Taylor reported he actually
•pent 78 days during the past year in
work with hogs. Taking profit on
the corn fed hogs and dividing it by
7g would show a return of $44 a day
to the county for each day the agent
apent in hog work with farmers.

ficially from Washington. D. C., fol
lowing approval of county and state
Republican leaders. Appointment of
Mr. Potts came after the death or

Mr Sloan had completed over twc j
years of his second four-year term a* |

U. S. RELIEF FUND
TO BE RESTRICTED
(Continued from r*age One.)
lngton in charge of the relief funda
and that is that no community, city
or town may expect anv funds frotr
the government if it has not first
made a real and definite effort to
handle its relief problems locally,’
Morrison said. ‘ For each state must
certify that local effort has been ex
pended and exhausted before the Re
construction Finance Corporation can
allot a single dollar for direct relief
in any State.
“While I was in Washington I learn
ed that a certain southern state had
just made application for a loan of
$6,000,000 to be used as indirect re
lief aid through highway construction
Thi* loan was immediately denied.
“The law makes it very plain tha - .
non* of this money can be used foi
indirect relief through the construe
tion of public works such as high
way*, streets, public buildings and sr
forth. It must be used only for di
rect relief, such as for food am'
clothing, shelter and fuel and onl>
where local organizations are no long
er able to provide these things Sorm
of this monev can be used for wage*
in project work, but none can be
spent for materials or equipment."
So far Dr. Morrison has no idee
hew much money North Carolina will
seek to get from this government re
lief fund, although on the basis of
population the State is entitled tc
borrow up to $7,000,000. But he i* cer
tain that no community, city' or coun
ty can expect to get everything from
the fund unless it first has made som:
local effort to handle its own relief
problems.

of Bank to Life of Com
munity; 71 Percent Are
Already Signed
Workers in the campaign to sign up
tepositors in the closed First Natioa
il Bank of Henderson went to their
ask today with the hope and the end
:n view of completing the pob by next
Wednesday, August 31, so that, the
-iew bank could be opened for busi
ness two weeks later, on September
5. It was said today that 71 percent
-f the deposits had been pledged to
he new agreement, and that in the
emaJning 29 percent were both large
md small deposits, as well as some of
nedium size.
The committee which is headed by
r asper B. Hicks as chairman, would
ike to sign every depositor and make
t 100 percent' and additional ones arc
ie4ng added <to the list every day.
In order to reach the coveted goal,
t will be necessary to sign five per
cent a day. or about $25,0000. Ap
proximately $125,000 remains today to
pledged to the agreement.
Workers are riding day and night
o call on people who have money
tied up in the closed bank, to the
pnd that their cooperation may be
had and had at once. It is pointed
out that if it is a good thing to have
the bank open again, eventually, it is
much better to have It now, and the
sooner the better.
Those who are leading the move
ment hope that the bank can be start
'll off before the opening of the to
bacco market. It would put a dlf
'erent atmosphere in business circles
in the city. It has been remarked by
one Henderson business man that
what was needed to bring prosperity,
or at least better times back to this
community and section was the re
opening of the First National Bank-
cotton and 12-cent tobacco.
He thought the prospects were very
good for getting all three by fall.

Fear of kidnaping has led Chicago
and Illinois police to institute a
search for William A. Emsting, ;
above, 42-year-old banker of a
Chicago suburb, who has been
mysteriously missing from his
home. Police have uncovered
clues leading them to believe
Emsting may be a victim of a kid
pap gang.
Yet the upward trend In prices is en
couraging.
“TThe Increased activity in the tex
tile industry in the State is also en
couraging. While the increased ac
tivity now will probably not begin to
offset losses sustained so far this year
it Is helping to provide more employ
ment and to put more mney into cir
culation. And that is something de
cidedly worth while.”
There is no possibility that the re
cent improvement in business and in
dustry, even ifit continues permanet
ly, will be reflected in State revenue
for at least 18 months, Commissioner
Maxwell believes, since the losses of
the past two years will more than
offset any immediate gains within the
next few months.
“Revenue collected from now on Is
from taxes levied on incomes or pro
fits from business done since Jan
uary 1, 1932, so that no increase In
revenue can be expected any time
next year,” Commissioner Maxwell
said. “In fact, even with a steady im
provement in business from now on,
this movement would not be reflected
In State revenues until after January
1. 1934, or even later.”

STATE SUPPORTED
8 MONTHS SCHOOL

axes called for these district budgets
will probably amount to between $4 -
500.000 and $5,000,000, since last year
:he board approved budget* for an ag
gregate levy of $4,500,000 for the sup
port of the two months extended
term. The average tax rate in these
districts this year for the extended
term will be approximately 30 cents
on the SIOO valuation and in some dis
tricts will be considerably more than
Oils.
At present time between 85 and 90
per cent of al lthe white school chil
dren in the State and almost as many
of the Negro children we In eight
months schools, while almost 90 per
cent of all the taxable property in the
State Is in extended term districts,
either special tax or special charter
districts. according to studies made
of -the sifuiAion both by the .Board of
Equalization and the. State- Depart
ment Os PIdUJjC Instruction. The re
sult' is that TO P 9» cent of the pro
ownerk ake rtow pairing an aver
age tax of 3<} for ap extended 1
term for about;' 90 per cent of the
school children of the State. ’ '
To provide this extended term, it
is neceesary to levy a different tax
rate in 1,080 different tax districts, .'to
be collected by 196 different ,'collect
in gagencies, since these taxes are
collected by the 100 counties in which
the special tax districts are located
and by the 96 cities comprising the
special charter districts.
"While the State already has a
Statewide eight months school term
in everything but name, it has evolved
this eight months term by the clum
siest and most costly system possible,
by etting up 1.060 different dttricts for
this purpose," according to Leßoy
Martin, secretary of the Board of
Equalization. “This wak pointed out
more than two" yeans ago when the
State EdffceattoaaJ Commission recom
mended a Statewide gtgtot months term
as an economy measure. There is no
doubt that a Statewide eight months
term can be provided by at nvuch less
cost than it Is now being provided—
probably at lee sthan the old six
months term cost before the State
took ft over."
Dr. A. T. Allen, STate superintend-!
ant of public Instruction, also believes
that a Statewide, .State supported and
supervised eight months term could bei
provided at fully $1,000,000 a year lend
than tbs present 90 per cent eight,
months term is costing-
Last year these 1,080 special tax di
tricts levied taxes totaling $4,500,000
for the two months extended term,
while tbs State from all sources spent
StMBO.OOfr on the six months term.
This mads tbs entire cost of the six
months and ezfendid term cost 92JL*
