McKlNNE, President PAY CASH and PAY LESS OUft RALEIGH LETTER Bj M. L. Shlpmau C Raleigh, July 16.?Ths semi-annual ^ meeting of- the State Board ? AgTi. ~ culture; the announcement of Chair man Brummitt. of the State Demo, cratlc Executive Committee, that he <fce8 "not choose" to continue in that position and the departure of the Governor for the "Land O' Lakes," Wisconsin for six weeks rest and re creation constitute the more important, - happenings in State administration c circles. The Raleigh Chamber of," Commerce inaugurated plans for a State Fair "booster trip" early in Oc tober and is making preparations for the entertainment of a number of con. ventlons to meet In the capital city a little later on. The outstanding feature of the meeting of the State Board of Agricul ture was the report of Commissioner W. A. Graham who reported a cash balance on hand of 6127,436.49, July 1, 1928, as compared with $86,310.87 this time last year. The work of the Department for the past six months has been satisfactory, he said, and backed up the claim with reports from ?arions department heads. Fertilizer i) ?V t< 6 d C li b w 0 a T tonnage for the year amounted to 1, 373,347 tons. Last year it was 1,444,. 018 tons. Live poultry shipments the Commissioner pointed out, amounted to 4,000,000 pounds for the past sea. son, due to the cooperation of divis ion heads with the shippers. The SUte test farms and the State ware house systems received favorable mention in the repqtf with recom mendations for greater development of these agencies of education and convenience to North Carolina farm ers. Expenses of the Department for tbe year amounted to $38,688.12 less than collections, there being a gain in the latter of $61,085.21. Tbe sta. tus of the Board remains unchanged, notwithstanding rumors of a contem. plated effort on the part of the Gov ernor to place it under the control of the State Advisory Budget Commis sion. The Director of the Budget has the authority to make Investigations and examinations of any State de. partment to ascertain if suitable ac counting is provided and the Depart, ment of Agriculture has made reports to the Budget Bureau of all collec. tions and expenditures since the law Requiring this was enacted. The At torney General advised that the Bud get Bureau is not vested, under the law. with power to allocate funds col. lccted by the Department and the ne cessity of voting upon the question did not arise in the Board meetings. Attorney General Dennis G. Brum mitt, who has served as chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee since John G. Dawson retired a little less than a year ago, announ ced bis intention of surrendering the letter post and confining his efforts tc the duties of the office to which the people elected him. In his call to the State Executive Committee to assemble in Raleigh tomorrow even ing for the purpose of selecting a new chairman, Mr. Brummitt stated that to continue in the position would ne cessitate his resignation as Attorney General for which he had recently been nominated without opposition. On the recommendation of Governor to.be O. Max Gardner, O. M. Mull, of Shelby, is expected to be the unani. nious choice of the Committee as the successor of Chairman Brummitt. Mr. Mull is considered a wise and capable leader. He has long been a close personal and political friend of Mr. Gardner, is thoroughly conver sant with political affairs in the State, has directed numerous campaigns as county and district manager without losing a single battle. And he will not lose in the larger undertaking of ? state-wide contest now rapidly ap proaching. Raleigh is pleased with Mr. Gardner's recommendation and the new chairman may 'count upon the loyal and active Support of capi tal city democrats, both men and wo men, until the smoke, of battle clears away on election day. C o tt T) a b w o: E S ii Ci O! tl g to a C t For too next six weeks Lieutenant Governor J. Elmer Long will be at the helm of State, tbe Governor hav ing taken his departure for the covet ed vacation camp in the Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin.

Bank of Warsaw. 8"he parole of this prisoner was re commended by the trial judge and a large number of prominent citizens of the eastern section of the State vhere the offense was committed two or three years ago.
