POLITICS IN JOHNSON COUNTY SCHOOL FIGHT N. C. CROPS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE Halifax Receives Slate School Funds-Bailey Helped By Probe (Special To The Herald) Raleigh, Oct. 23.—North Carolina’s crop yield per acre as indicated' on October 1 averaged 99.6 pre cent of the past 10 year yield .with a 5.3 per cent general improvement during Sep tember, while for the entire nation the yield is 9.7 per cent below the 10-year average, the State-Federal crop re porting service reports. This State was less affected by the drought conditions of the early sum mer than the average, but an increase in crop yields and total production was shown in less than half the main crops, including corn, tobacco, pota toes, peaches, grapes, oats and sor gum syrup. The production indicated as of Oc tober 1 in 16 main crops follows: corn 49.240.000 bushels,; oats 6,632,000 bushels; barley, 858.000 bushels; buckwheat, 100,000 bushels; peanuts,! 375.725.000 pounds; tame hay, 711,- j 000 tons; alfalfa, 17,000 tons, apples, agricultural, 2,555,000 bushels, com mercial, 128,000 barrels; peaches, 1, 665.000 bushels; pears, 108,000 bush els; grapes, 396 tons; potatoes, 8,- , 494.000 bushels; sweet potatoes, 8, 460.000 bushels; tobacco, 539.095,000 , pounds; sorgum syrup, 1.936,000 gal lons. The Johnston County school row, which threatened to become serious, was adjusted satisfactorily to all fac tions by compromise of the warring Democratic Board of Education and the Republican Board of County Com missioners last week with the State Board of Equalization serving as a sort of court of arbitration. The commissioners sought to cut the educational board’s original bud get of about $590,000 by $52,000, and the education board reduced the teachers by 84 to meet the cut, re sulting objection from the school dis These hotels offer super ior accommodations for your next visit to— WASHINGTON,'D.

By the compromise, the teach ers w*ll meet the State schedule re quirement of 426, or seven legs than originally asked, and $16,000 will be cut from current expenses making the total cut $20,000 instead of $52,000. The Board of Equalization, after the compromise, adopted a resolution tha tit felt justified in laying the al lotment to Johnston County from the equalizing fund, already made, so the schools can get th efirst payment and start this week, October 20, to which date opening had been postponed. The court action started by school districts to compel the board to provide teach ers needed is expected to be with drawn. The second installment from the State school equalizing fund, amount - ing to $1,330,500, will be sent to the 9? participating counties October 28, the first installment of $1,141,000 hav ing been sent September 10. The to tal of the two first installments will be $2,471,500, or a little less than half of the almost $5,000,000 allot ed from the $5,250,000 equalizing fund by the board. Halifax County’s first installment was $8,000 and the second ,to g<> ouc October 28, will be $14,000, or a total of $22,000 of the year’s total $44, 74S.59 alloted the county. The bal ance will go out in two installments one before and the other after the Christmas nolidays. Auditing costs in North Carolina counties for the annual outside audits of county government operations were greatly reduced last year, as compar ed with previous years, due to the im provements made in county account ing methods under the new laws, Charles M. Johnson, secretary of the County Government Advisory C om rnission, announces, following a re port from the counties. The total auditing costs of the 75 counties making audits for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1030, exclusive of the reports from three small coun ties ,was $75,763,65, as compared with costs of $164,368,40 for two years before. The cost of audits for a year ago amounted to $203,878.70, as com pared with $204,581.02 for three years ago. Two-year comparisons are made because in many of the counties membership of the boards of county commissioners change and the audits are more extensive. The costs of outside auditing nor mally decreases with the improvement in the accounting methods used by the regular county accountants and will continue to be reduced as time passes. Mr. Johnson reports. Halifax County paid $1,000 for its annual au dit for the fiscal year 1929-30. The 1928-23 audit cost $1,250; that of 1927-28 cast $1,500, while the cost of the 1926-27 audit was $2,500, Mr. Johnson’s report shows. Trapping of fur-bearing animals in 15 Western North Carolina counties has been prohibited for two years, by order of the Department of Conserva tion and development, following peti tions from these counties, which are seeking to greatly increase the num ber of animals and later reestablish the fur industry on a large scale. The counties included are Buncombe, Clay, Cherokee, Graham, Swain. .Jackson, Haywood, Madison, Yancey, Hender son, Transylvania, Polk, Macon, Mc Dowell and Mitchell.

The judges of agricultural pro ducts report marked improvement was discernable in the quality of products displayed this year and in all exhibits the improvements of seeds and sires was noticeable. While the prices of cotton, tobacco and peanuts, the three principal cash crops, are low, thus reducing very much the amounts of money received by the growers, the food and feed crops were increased the past season, the State-Federal crop reporting ser vice estimating the increase in value at fully $16,000,000 in North Caro lina. This, it is pointed out, is the salvation of the North Carolina farm ers, saving for them the $16,000,000^ which they do not have to spend for food and feed in the fmount of home grown products. Decause the movement has thus proved its value, Governor Gardner believes that North Carolina farmers \^ill next year grow an incr'eased amount of food and feed products and v/;ll continue to improve their seeds and sires, thus, as he estimates, in creasing the yield by fully 10 per cent without a corresponding increase in labor or producing cost. The much heralded Nye committee investigating Senatorial campaign ex pendiutres, came to North Carolina, spent about 24 hours delving into the costs of the Bailey campaign and quickly moved on to other states, where, apparently, there is more ex cuse for investigating than they found in this State. In fact, the members almost gave the North Carolina cam paign a clean bill of health. They were not able to find anything ap pearing to be excessive expenditures, and, while saying they had a little more delving to do, apparently were satisfied they had been mislead into coming into this state. Democrats, naturally, are charging that the Pritchard-Jonas Republican forces are responsible, on the belief that if they could get even a little mud slung on Mr. Bailey, they would be able to take advantage of dis gruntled part of the Democrats and cause them to refuse to vote for Mr. Bailey, if not really vote for Pritch aul. There is little evidence to indi cate that Senator Simmons or his friends had anything to do with in stigating the investigation, although there are those who think some of them may have welcomed the inquiry. The result, contray to probable ex pectation, apparently will be of value to the Bailey campaign in that it re moves all intimation that large amounts of outside money was used in his behalf and seemingly belies the charge that in some places the abse n tee ballot was used excessively and unlawfully.
