Estimates
900 Names
Are Added
Heavy Registration
For City Mayoralty
Election May 7 Ob
tained Here
One of the heaviest new registra
tions ever recorded for a city election
was reported today after the close of
the hooks Friday, one estimate plac
ing the number of new names and
transfers at 900. This does not include
the hundreds of others already quali
fied to vote.
This estimate plaiced the new names
In the first ward at around 100. In
the second ward at arounrt 200. in the
third at about 350 and those in the
fourth ward at approximately 250.
The increased interest wats due to
the lively contest being waged for the
maqorship by .Mayor Irvine B. Wat
kins, seeking re.election, and Henry
T. Powell, who is opposing him.
The election will be held on Tues
day. May 7. ten days hence, and prom
ises to bring r#t one of the largesk
votes ever recorded in a municipal
balloting.
That the mayor race is responsihn
for this increased interest is evident
from the fact that there is no con
test in any ward for aldermanic of
fices. Re-election is sought b? J. W.
Gill in the firsit D C. Loughlin in
the second arid F. B. Might in the
third, while C. M. Might is a can
didate in the fourth to succeed Mr.
Powell, who i 1 - not a candidate for
that office as tire result of his seek
ing the mayorship. So far neither
al.iermanic candidate has opposition.

Auditors
Salary Is
Unchanged
A perusal today of the salary
hill introduced into the General
Assembly yesterday by Represen
tative O. S. Falkner of Vance
county, and passed by the House,
showed that the Daily Dispajfcli
figures were in error as published
Friday afternoon, to the degree
that they showed a cut in the
salary! of the county accountant
from $2,500 to $1,200 per year. The
information that to the Dis
patch was in error in that one in
stance, and in no other, so far as
has been learned.
The error is regretted, and this
correction made as pp/ly as pos
sible after the error that slipped
through.

Cotton Stored at
Warrenton Seized
Under Attachment
(From Warren Record.)
Twenty-five bales of cotton in the
Warrenton Bonded Warehouse were
attached yesterday by Sneriff W. J.
Pinnell upon complaint of R. L.
Capps. Areola merchant, and mem
ber of the Board of County Commis
sioners, who alleges that the Peck
Manufacturing Company acting thro
ugh and by its vice president and
general manager. L C. Kinsey, will
fully and feloniously removed the cot
ton from the storage room of the
Peck Manufacturing Company and
placed it in the Warrenton Bonded
Warehouse "with the intent to chea*
and defraud.”
The complaint further a'lleges that
in order to camoulfiage the transac
tion that receipts were issued in the
name of some persons without title
to the cotton rather tjian to the true
owner and that the receipts were
negotiated by Mr. Kinsey for value
without disclosing his want of title.
It is also stated in the complaint
that thirteen of the twenty-five bales
were withdrawn from the bonded
warehouse and processed through the
mill of the Manufacturing Com
pany and that thirteen other bales
were substituted by the defendants to
satnd in place of the cotton removed.

Scouts Consume
600 Dozen Eggs.
1,400 Gals. Milk
Chapel Hill, April 27 One of the
biggest problems ever to face a. din
ing hall manager has been disposed
of by J. Obie Harmon, manager of the
University of North Carolina, dining
room. That problem was to feed 1400
Boy Scouts here in convention this
week-end.
Manager Harmon worked out a sys
tem whereby the Scouts ate break
fast early, were fed lunch in Kenan
Stadium, and were served ahead of
the regular group of student diners
at the University dining hall.
His figures as to the quality of food
required for the 1400 boys is rather
amazing For their breakfast over a
three day period they ate over 600
dozen of eggs, drank 1400 gallons of
milk during their sojourn, consumed
1000 pounds of potato chips, in addi
tion to eating around 200 dozen of
lolls at each meal.

ager Harmon purchased all the avail
able stocks in Chapel Hill and Dur

have enough. Other articles were of
corresponding enormity.

Claim Bill Would

Daily Dlapntvb Unreal,
(n the Str Waiter Hotel.
Raleigh. April 27 —Offered by Sena
tor Frink, of Brunswick, is a bill
which is being branded by its oppo
nents as a “bill to encourage tax de
linquency . ”
The bill would amend the act pass
ed by the 1931 legislature which per
mits county and town commissioners
to accept notes for delinquent taxes
instead of instituting tax foreclosure
suits as provided by the consolidated
statutes. The 1931 law specifies that
v iotes may he accepted from taxes
due up to 1931. The Frink hill would
bring the law down nearer to date by
permitting local governments to ac
cept notes for unpaid taxes of the
years 1931 and 19323.
(Students of local government here
contend that the bill places a pre
mium on tax delinquency because few
counties and towns have moved to
collect notes held by them under the
1931 act. They express doubt that
such notes will ever be collected. Once
the taxpayers discover that they can
at once avoid payment of taxes and
forestall forecsolure suits at the same
lime they are not going to pay taxes
at all, according to the students.
