COTTON GROWERS ARE WARNED NOT TO GLUT MARKET MAY SHOOT FLEEING OTTO WOOD Warning to County Com missioners re Sheriff’s Settlement (Special To The Herald) Raleigh, Oct. 9.—Cotton growers of North Carolina are unwise to rush •their cotton to market now, thereby causing a “glut” and further tending to depress the price, when several ways are open to them to realize the funds needed to meet their pressing debts and with promise of better prices later, former Governor A. W. McLean said in a statement here last v. eek. He also advises growers, who plan to hold their cotton, not to leave it on the stalk in the field to damage from weather, but to pick and store it until they are ready to sell. This makes it impossible for them to pay their debts and prevents them from obtaining credit in the future. Governor McLean ,himself a cotton grower, points out that the producer can put his cotton in a seasonal pool of the Cotton Cooperative Associa tion and receive nine cents a puond advance (later said to have been re duced to seven cents); store it in a Federal warehouse and receive money from the Federal Intermediate Credit Hanks at 4 per cent interest; or bor row from the member banks of the Federal Reserve Banking System on stored cotton . He mentioned the 1,3000,000 bales of cotton, now owned by the Cotton Stabilizing Corporation, which is de finitely withdrawn from the market until it reaches the price paid for it, more than 16c per pound. This will have a stablizing influence on the price, and if the growers use any of the methods at their disposal, the cot .ton can be marketed gradually at higher prices, he said. Otto Wood has been declared an out law ,in an order signed here last Fri day by Judge G. E. Midgette. This colorful one-handed law violator, originating in Wilkes County, operat ing throughout the nation, four times escaped from State’s Prison, now has a price of $375 on his head, dead or alive. The act of declaring him an outlaw means that any citizen may, upon seeing him, order him to halt, snd if he either runs or fights, may shoot him down, with complete im munity from prosecution. Otto, who apparently has a deep-seated criminal bent, has it mixed with a seemingly consuming passion for publicity—in newspaper parlance, an “ink hound.” Tents are being ordered almost daily by wire to provide for the un usually large exhibits of livestock, and agricultural exhibits are being turned down for lack of space to dis play them at the Nort hCarolina State Fair, October 13-18, Manager T. B. Smith stated today. The premiums this year are valued at more than $25,000 and exhibits are in 20 de partments, each in charge of an ex pert from State College. The dog show is expected to have between 150 and 300 entries, while the pet show, a new attraction, is creating much interest. The amusement program includes free acts which cost in excess of $10, <)00, including the nightly presentation of “Sensations of 1930,” a musical comedy revue with 32 characters. Eight other free acts, including Firth and Hamid, will be presented with music by Cervonne's Band. The Mel ville-fteiss shows, with a 40 car outfit, including 17 shows and 10 rides, will be on the midway.

C. rurses of $6,600. The baby show, a few feature, is attracting attention. J. Walter Lambeth, Thomasvillte, manufacturer and former State Sena tor, was named as candidate for the lull two-year term as Congressman in the Seventh District, and Hinton James, Laurinburg banker, for the un expired term of the late W. C. Ham mer. Mrs. Hammer was nominated by ihe Democratic District Committee for the unexpired term Friday, but de clined the nomination. Colin G. Spen cer, Carthage, Republican nominee for the full term was named as a candi date for the unexpired term. Frank W. Hancock, Jr., Oxford, nominee for the full term in the Fifth District was also named for the un expired term by the district Demo rcatic committee, which failed to name Mrs. Katherine Palmer as can didate for the unexpired term of her father, the late Major Charles Sted nan. John F. Reynolds, Wentworth, Republican nominee for the two year term was named as candidate for the unexpired term by the Republican committee. Governor Gardner has called elec tions in both districts, to be held with the general election, November 4, to fill the unexpired terms. County Commissioners who fail to adhere strictly to the County Govern ment Acts, not only are violating the law, but are preparing “mare’s nests,” which will hatch trouble for them lat er, according to Charles M. Johnson, Secretary of the County Government Advisory Commission, in pointing to the indictment of the Avery Commis sioners for neglect of duty in requir ing the Sheriff to make proper settle ment. Mr. Johnson made public a letter published June 20 1930, point ing out their failures, which he wrote them, “are liable to lead you into se rious difficulties later on in the year..’ Answering the charge of Charles A. Jonas, congressman and Republican nominee to succeed himself in the Ninth District, that North Carolina is paying $10 per pupil per year, or j about $10,000,000 a year for school books, Dr. A. T. Allen, State Suer in - tendent of Public Instruction, has is sued a statement to show that Mr. Jonah has over-stated the amount by about 800 per cent. He states that, based on Federal figures, North Caro lina is not paying in excess of $750, 000 a year, or about one-eighth of the amount Mr. Jonas charges. Moreover, Dr. Allen shows that North Carolina, her county and city boards of education are getting school books as cheaply as any state in the Union for the same books. All contracts with publishers provide that North Carolina will get school books as cheaply as any state, and when prices are reduced in any other state, the prices are automatically reduced t.o the same level in this state for the same books. North Carolina’s general fund col lections for September just passed were $630,278.98, as compared with $693,351.06 for September 1929 while collections for the three months for the present fiscal year totaled $3, 083,821, as compared with $3,162,972. 72 for the same three months of the past fiscal year, the report of A. J. Maxwell, Commissioner of Revenue shows. A decrease was also shown in the automobile tax collections, which amounted to $1,213,428.65 last month and for September, 1929, totaled $1, 315,641.49. Collections for the first three months of this fiscal year were $3,537,649.79, and for the same period If ast year were $3,825,571.47.
