GOVERNOR SINGS STATE'S PRAISES Tells Chicago Citizens That North Carolina Is An Industrial Leader OTHER NEWS OF STATE By M. L. SHIPMAN RALEIGH, May 27?It appears that Governor Gardner made a good job of it in his effort in reminding Chicago and surrounding territory that North Carolina occupies a prominent position on the map of the country. Many Illinoians heard for the first time that the "Old North State" contributes more for the support of the Federal gov ?4. +Via4i* Awn eta tp hilt emmeiiu man uitu v*>uvmw, it is not recorded that any serious attempt was made to disprove the claim. The Governor's "Story of North Carolina" included a praphic description of the growth of the State from the dark days of reconstruction to its present position near the top of the list in the galaxy of states along the lines of education and industrial endeavor. Terming its population as "the purest Anglo-Saxon stock in the world," the Governor told his radio audience of its progress along lines of education and public welfare, its agricutural past and prospects for the future, its industrial development, its standing in the textile industry and pre-eminence in the tobacco manufacturing and producing world, its furniture and lumber industries, the development of its natural resources and its wonderful highway system. In story and in song, the Governor let it be known that his home State stands at the head of the list and the cradle of independence in America had its first setting right here in North ? j- ~i ?i Carolina, me uovernor is giaa hc went and delighted with the reception tendered him in the big "Windy City" in which he and Mrs. Gardner were royally intertained by the North Carolina society. On his return the Governor found his desk piled high with correspondence that had accumulated during his brief absence from the State and a number of callers awaiting his return to ask favors for themselves and their friends. He found a vacancy on the State Board of Agriculture to be filled and applications for pardons and paroles awaiting attention. Invitations for addresses had come from various points in the State and a repetition of the Chicago speech appears to be in order right here where it originated. One of the Governor's first official acts during the week was the parole of "Aunt Nancy" Kerley, 82, who has served sixteen years of a 30-year sentence for second degree murder. The old woman, a native of Haywood county, was convicted of shutting her little grandchild up in a cave and allowing it to starve. She is now unable to work, a brother promises to care for her and for these reasons Governor Gardner felt impelled to allow her to spend the few remaining days of her life among kindred and friends of by-gone years in tne native hills over which she used to roam as a child. It is said that the departure of "Aunt Nancy" leaves Ida Ball Warren the oldest woman in the prison. Names C. C. Cates To the vacancy on the State Board of Agriculture, created by the death of Senator R. W. Scott, Governor Gardner named Chas. C. Cates, of Alamance in the Fifth District, who is said to be a farmer in fact as well as in name.

Trask, of New Hanover, representing the sixth district, to succeed Geo. K. Grantham, former member of the General Assembly from the county of Harnett; W. A. Brown of Pender county, to represent the third district; former State Senator Sam C. Lattimore of Cleveland, succeeding Mr. Gardner who represented the ninth district. The first two named by the Governor, Messrs. Cates and Trask, are classed as "Master Farmers." In accordance with an act of the 1929 General Assembly establishing "Home Coming Week" at the State Fair the management has designated the week beginning October 14th and a large committee composed of State officials, members of the legislature and other prominent North Carolin-1 ians headed by the Governor left! for Washington today to extend an invitation to President Hoover to atend and deliver an address. The North Carolina delegation in Congress arranged an appointment with the President and joined the committee at the conference. The committee will also invite Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York, and other prominent persons to visit and speak at the Fair next Fall. While in Washington, Governor Gardner, Josephus Daniels, Judge Hobert W. Winton of Chapel Hill; Hugh G. Chatham of Winston-Salem; Representative A. D. MacLean of Washington, N. C. and other members of the special committee named soon ofter adjournment of the General Assembly, will arrange for placing and unveiling the Aycock stature, which the State is to place in Statuary Hall at a cost of $15,000. The State Board of Equalization in session here during the week heard requests from 73 counties to be allowed to employ a greater number of teachers than their per capito quota under the Hancock school law. It also heard the protests of non-equalizing counties on a previous decision to restrict State aid forr ural supervisors to counties participating in the fund. The board decides that the State will aid in salaries only in the same propor| tion that it aids in the payment of tetachers' salaries and discontinue the practice of contributing onehalf out of a special fund for the support of rural supervisors. Counties asking for authority to employ more teachers than the new school law contemplates got what they wanted, provided circumstances warrant the additions. The law prescribes a teacher for every 27 pupils in high schools and 32 in elementary schools, but authorized the board to approve additional teachers if necessary. Makes A Ruling On the request for a ruling of Major Matt H. Allen, chairman of the North Carolina Industrial Commission in charge of the operation of the Workmen's Compensation law which goes into effect in the State on July 1st, the attorney general's office issued an opinion to the effect that employees of street railway companies and tram and /Goi of a Ne fort] Xf YOU want to ki American . . . and name for style, pei one who owns one.

This ruling will also effect power companies which operate street car systems. Considerable interest is being shown here, and elsewhere in the State, in the compensation act and employers generally are said to be squaring themselves with its provisions rather than elect to operate on their own responsi bility. A rating bureau has been established here on the sixth floor i of the Commercial National Bank Building to provide information for the insurance companies writing compensation insurance, and employers and employees who come under the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act, and desire to be informed regarding classifications and rates applicable to particular risks. The commissioners are busy answering calls from various sections of the State for personal visits of informative character. Figures compiled by the State Board of Equalization show a small increase in the State's taxable property for last year and a decrease of corporate wealth from $726,238,499 to $716,760,574, or $9,477,925, the calculations including the real and personal property and corporate excess of domestic corporations, the valuations of public service corporations, and the valuations of banks, Guilford county shows the greatest corporate wealth and Gaston the greateest increase for the year. The greatest general increase was in Buncombe; Nash the greatest decrease, with New Hanover a close second. Increases are shown in za counties and decreases in 72. Those with less than $100,000 corporate wealth are Alleghany, Clary, Dare, Graham, and Hyde. Number Autoes Increase Despite the wail about excessive taxes and a stringent money market the sale of new motor vehicles climbs higher and this promises to be a banner year in the automobile business according to reports compiled by the Auto Lisense Bureau of the State Department of Revenue. The sales to May 1st aggregated 24, 379 new automobiles exclusive, of trucks. During a like period last year only 16,881 were sold. Since the first of January 10,248 new Fords have been introduced; 5,346 Chevolets; 1,332 Whippets, 1,137 Essex; Pontiac, 982; Dodge, 369. Including all makes on the market, authorities figure a gain in total sales of around 20,000 for the year.

Greater Fire Loss The fire loss in North Carolina this year to the first of May is said to be $2,491,601 against $1,945,250 for a corresponding period last year, due to an unusually large volume of mercantile conflagrations during January and February. An J increase in forest fires is reported j also, the damages estimated for [ April being $87,413 and double that of the preceding month. It is said {that, with one exception, the fires reported during April were caused , by human negligence, about onefourth originating from brush burning operations. Eighty-five are charged to incendiarism, 65 to smokers, while campers, hunters and fishermen started 17. During the month of March 28,848 acres were I burned over by 390 fires which might have been easily prevented. Registers of deeds in some of the counties are calling attention to the provisions of the new marriage law which provides that contracting couples under 21 years of age must file notice of their intention to apply for a license five days before the same can be issued, except in cases where marriage announcements are carried in the newspapers.
