SURVEY OF WOMEN LN INDUSTRY
CREATES CLASH IN COMMISSION
Matter Will Be Dropped Until Legislature Meets. State Prison
Board Fails To Elect A Chaplain. Mother and Infant
S n Released From State Penitentiary.
rL
(BY M. L. SHirMAN)
Raleigh, N. C July 19-A quiet
week was the order cf affa.rs in Ra
leigh last week. The citizens breath,
ed a sigh of relief when the first of
the week brought rains winch not
only ccoled off the atmosphere for
the entire week but were very bene,
fical to the crops in this section of
the State.
In official circles there was little
of importance. The passing of
Judge J. Loyd Horton was mourned
and many officials were in attendance
at the funeral last Tuesday at Farm
ville, which gave the young legal
triant to the State. Judge Horton,
youngest judge ever to grace a Super,
ior Court Eench, died of heart trou.
ble following meningitis. He was
32 years old when he died and had
sat for five years on the bench.
The survey of women in indus
try attracted attention during the
week when there was an argument
behind closed doors over who shall
conduct the survey. From what
leaked it was understood E. F. Carter
of the Child Welfare Commission
and Mrs. Kate Burr Johnson were at
odds in the selections of persons to !
make the survey. The Governor I
conferred with the members of the !
survey committee during the week, j
Nothing will be done about it until !
the General Assembly meets in Jan
uary, if is done then.
The State Prison Board met dur
ing the past week to select a new wel
fare officer to succeed W. S. Shack
lette who was "fired" last winter.
Some of the members are opposed
to having a preacher and some are
opposed to having a welfare worker
for the job so the matter was not
decided at the meeting.
Definite steps were taken during
the week to relieve the acute water
shortage at the State Hospital at
Morganton. The shortage was caus
ed by drought and the Governor has
. authorized the building of a new sys
tem of piping and control of a small
stream and the purchase of additional
acreage for a water shed. It is be
lieved this will adequately care, for
the situation. The cost will appro
ximate $45,000.
Governor McLean during the week
paroled the young woman who re
cently gave birth to a child in State's
Prison. She was serving a sentence
for immorality and had been at the
prison only a week when the child
was born. In issuing the parole the
Governor said it would not be right
to leave the child in the prison and
it would not be human to take the
child from the mother. He there
fore decided to remove both from
the prison. The young woman, it
was understood bjy the Governor,
would return to her mother in
Georgia with a determination to live
the right kind of life. The Gover
nor during the week also received
many letters of
commendation on
his action in the Mansel case and he j the country. Mr. David Rumley
believes that in commuting Mansel's : served in the United States army dur
sentence to life from death, he cor- j ing the late war and since then has
rectly interpreted the feeling of the I been engaged in laboratory work of

Associated Press reports which are
issued each week have showed for
several weeks that North Carolina
was leading in deaths. Last report,
issued last Monday, showed that all
Southern States for the week were
led by North Carolina, with seven
killed and nine injured in auto acci
dents. Coroner L. M. Waring of Wake
County brought a serious charge a
gainst the State Hospital for Insane
at Raleigh during the week when he
investigated the suicide of a young
mentally deficient girl at the institu
tion last week. He said he found
the girl in a dark room, poorly venti
lated on the hottest night of the year
and on a bed infested with vermin
Dr. Albert Anderson, superintendent
of the institution, says that he will
welcome an investigation. Nothing
definite has been done about the mat

SWELTERS IN HEAT

Heat Wave
The Raleigh newspapers on Thurs
day reported the death of Thomas B.
Yates, retired business man, who
was overcome by the heat which
reached a maximum in that city of
102 degrees, the highest since 1887.
Greensboro papers report the col--lapse
cf B. B. Kartness and a num
ber of partial prostrations, while the
State as a whole, except these towns
foitunate enough to be near the mod
ifying influence of the sea breeze, is
suffering from a heat wave that ap
parently covers the entire Midd'.c
West and East.
The following Associated Press
dispatch explains the situation.
Sections In East Suffer
Hottest Day of Year
Easterners took what comfort they
could Wednesday, the hottest dy of
the year in most sections and the
hottest July-21 ever recorded in many
in prediction of the weather bureau
that rain was on the way.
Showers were expected cut of the
that source to the wilted east, as the
heat also had roiled down to the At
lantic Seaboard from the western
plains.
In New York city the mercury
mounted steadily all day until it
reached a new high record for the
year of 96. There it stayed and
dusk came without any suggestion of

Rumored Petition Against Pro
posed Extension Did Not
Appear at Meeting
BUDGET ADOPTION LATER
The special called meeting of the
Town Commissioners last Tuesday
night at which the town budget for
the coming year was to be adopted
was quiet as to the matter of extend
ing the town limits to take in certain
property east of Beaufort, issuing
bonds to the amount of $100,000 for
the improvement of the property.
The town budget, published in the
News last week, was read by Town
Treasurer, W. L. Stancil, and on ad
vice of Mr. Stancil final adoption of ;
the budget was postponed until the
first week in August, when it was
thought that the tax books would be
ready and it could be found out
whether an increase in the rate would
be necessary to take care of the
$11,580.00 increase over last year's
budget. It was thought that the
increase in taxable values would off
set the increase in expenses. As stat
ed by Mr. Stancil, over $7,000.00
of the increase will go to pay the in
terest on bond issues.
Town Attorney, Graham W. Dun
can, who went to Kaleigh to in.
interview Attorney General Dennis
G. Brummitt on the legality of the
town's expending $100,000 to im
prove certain lands east of Beaufort,
refused to tell the Attorney Gen
eral's opinion on the matter, saying
that his opinion was the property of
the Board and that the public would
have to await the Board's permission
on the matter before learning what
the ruling was.
The resolution, passed at the last
regular meeting of the Board, author
izing this expenditure is printed in
