HYDE SOLON DID
NOT START BILL
Sheriff Davis Says
Senator Spencer
is Responsible.
Sheriff George Davis, of the coun
ty of Hyde, who gained State fame
through exempting Hyde from State
bills, did not introduce the b.ll that
legislated a board of five commis
sioners in Hyde county out of office
and placed a board of managers in
charge. It was his colleague, Sena
tor Carroll B. Spencer, who started
this legislation through the hopper,
and it was not until Sheriff Davis
had cognated over the matter for
three long weeks, had conferred at
length with numerous Hyde county
citizens, and had received but one
lone objection that he consented to
let the bill through the House. Mr.
Davis says Senator Spencer advo
cated the bill in his campaign.
Sheriff Davis sponsored these
statements Friday while he was in
Raleigh on other business. He didn’t
like the impression that he had
“sneaked” a bill through the legis
lature. As a matter of fact during
the legislature he sought counsel on
every hand. He conferred with the
Attorney General, the assistant At
torney General, the legislative ref
erence librarian, he conferred with
members of the legislature and con
stituents and as far as it was pos
sible for a legislator to inform him
self and to inform others directly
concerned he did so.
As for the constitutional features
of this legislative bill, Sheriff Davis
| knows nothing. He is a plain dirt
I farmer, and left that to Senator
| Spencer, who is a low r yer. Sheriff
[ Davis denies he intended to amend
j the constitution for the sole benefit
I of Hyde county, as indicated in some
newspaper reports, and he denies
that he wants any special law passed
for his county. He is for Hyde first,
last and all the time, now and for
ever, but he is perfectly willing for
other counties to have the benefit of
; his bills, if they so desire. Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none is his motto.

SAYS WAGE SCALE
IS DUE TO GO DOWN
“During the next ten to twenty
years there will be a gradual falling
of the wage scale but the purchasing
power of the American family must
not diminish and business must tight
en up,” declared Martin L. Pierce,
Director of Research of the Hoover
Suction Sweeper Company, in a
thought providing talk to the Raleigh
Kiwanis Club Friday.
Declaring that there is no chance
for the export of American products
for the next twenty years, Mr. Pierce
asserted that it will be a question of
American contending with American.
Mr. Pierce declared that the busi
ness man who will succeed under the
new conditions is the one who places
spiritual values above material val
ues. He also declared that the man
who is to really have a “good time’
must find it in his business rather
than elsewhere. Co-operation rather
than competition was declared to be
“the life of trade.”
MYSTERIOUS ATTACK
REPORTED IN W AYNE
A woman’s screams, the declara
tion of an Eastern Wayne county
man that he sew a man throw the
apparently unresisting form of
a woman into an automobile, and the
find ng of a pool of blood at the
place where the automobile was
standing have led to the belief that
a murderous attack was made and
possibly even murder committed in
the country near here early this
morning.
The man who saw the form of a
woman thrown into a car was James
Tyndall, residing a few miles east of
here. He hurried up to the place and
found there a pool of blood, a wrench
and a blood-stained pocket book.
Other blood stains were found in the
vicinity. W’ord also came that a
woman’s screams were heard at La
Grange.
County officers are working on
the mistery but have not been able
as yet to arrive at any definate ex
planation of the unusual happenings.
PEANUT CROP IS
ONE OF BIGGEST
Corn, Hay and Potato
Crop in N. C. Hard
Hit by Drought
Severe damage to corn, potato and
hay crops from the recent drought
in the Western and Piedmont sec
tions of the State, is reported in the
September North Carolina crop Re
port, issued by W. H. Rhodes, Jr.,
acting-statistician of the N. C. U. S.
Departments of Agriculture. On the
other hand the peanut crop of 196,-
928,000 pounds predicted. This is an
improvement of 29 per cent over last
year’s crop. Rains have been abun
dant in the Northeastern counties of
North Carolina where most of the
peanuts in this State are grown.
The hay crop is perhaps the hard
est hit on account of the drought,
according to the report.
“The dry weather has damaged
pastures and hay crops in the west
ern counties almost to the point of
extermination,” declares Mr. Rhodes.
“Many farmers state that they have
been feeding their livestock as they
do through the winter months. Last
year the yield of the tame hay was
over a ton per acre. Reports at
present show an average condition
of about 58 per cent of normal.”
“While potatoes look promising as
to growth of plants, the potatoes
show very little development and in
the western counties farmers report
that very little is to be found where
digging has been in progress.”
It is estimated that the potato
crop this year will be ten per cent
less than last year’s crop.
The corn crop is reported as being
only 69 per cent of normal and very
badly damaged on account of exces
sive heat.
