Cole, it Rockingham for the murder of W. W. Ormond, Gov. McLean's declara tions comparing North Carolina's type of prosperity with that of Florida and a number of minor mat ters absorbed attention here during the week. Far and above all other 1 matters, however, was the Cole trjal. the interest in that exceeding any thing of its kind in the hist'vy of tho present generation. Progress in the trial at Rocking ham was watched closely during the the week with the Raleigh Times getting out an afternoon extra car rying the testimony verba'.im of that day. This was avidly seize ! by the people. Reports coming here from Rockingham were that huge crowds packed the court room, a large num ber of staff correspondents were on hand to write the trial from evcrj angle and the Associated Press ha", a special wire into the court room to give the trial to the paper by word. As the trial progressed inter est increased until the climax of Sat urday when Cole faced the cross ex aminers as to why he killed the Ril eigh veteran. The report of the auditors on the i state prison finances left much to be desired by both sides of the contro versy. It showed an "operating bal ance" of about $38,000, but did not figure on money spent on this yea,''siof the State insufficient to meet re crop planting. This made it an aVftuirements and declares that the s;.s crual basis statement and playeil into the hands of those who have contended that accrual basis of fi nancing is sound, led by former Gov ernor Cameron Morrison. On the other hand the proponents of Gov vernor McLean feel that his state ment is sufficiently clear to avoid heat of controversy. State Auditor Baxter Durham is authority for the statement that the State under Mc Lean was pledged to the "cash" basis of financing -while the Govern or's statement of the prison finan ces is on the "accrual" basis. The Governor has been kept in "hot water" ever since he reappoir.t ed George Ross Pou as head of the penitentiary. He has had to ex plain every action in connection with State Prison since and there is no indication that the financial state ment has eased the situation or that there will be any letup in the at tacks on the administration in this connection. The Governor almost came out for exemption of the people from income taxes in Charlotte -when he prai.-i Florida's progress and said it was because of that state's new tax lew;'.' He halted with his praise and thi holding of tbo far southern state up as an exa-iple however and added. hat while he did not wish to be cor- strfaed as wishing the income tax abolished still he felt that it was : fair example in Florida of what will happen when capital finds it can come; Idly developing sections of the Ame--nto a state wflhout paying high for I 'can Union." the privilege. At the same time.el uiged North Carolinians to seize the opportunities at hand and develop I North Carolina whose basic founds-1 tion is much sounder that that of, Florida. Governor was speaking in ! Charlotte. Later he sent a message to be read at a gathering in Asheville which he urged further development of -water powers of the State.
