The defendant stated that he was tried by the mayor of Newport on the latter two charges and pled guity to them.

The com plete vote of Carteret, as to all county officials, the Congres sional vote and part of the State ticket, is given by precincts. The table which carries this in formation represents a good many hours of hard work. Not many weekly newspapers take the trouble to give the election results in such complete detail.

DUNNAGAN RALEIGH, June 7 North Caro lina's general fund deficit at the end o fthe present fiscal year, June 30, is expected to be $5,708,378, of which $2,332,550 is the amount by which the budget was not balanced for the 1929-31 biennium, and the balance of $3,373,828 is the result of expend ing the full amount appropriated for the six months school term without curtailing the amount as were the amounts appropriated for the State departments and institutions, it is shown in a statement issued by Gov ernor O. Max Gardner, director of the Budget through Henry Burke, budget assistant. ''The situation was realized in 1929 and plans were laid and have been executed to gradually reduce State expenses," the statement says. Reductions against appropriations a- mount to $3,561,200 for the two years of 1929-31 and $2,262,184 for the one year 1931-32 a total of $6- 121,384 it is shown. The potential debit balance, or deficit, for the three years to June 30, 1932, is $11,829,- 762 while the actual deficit is expect ed to be $5,706,378 the difference, ,123,384, being the reductions in expenditures from the appropriations "It is difficult to say now what can be done for the fiscal year 1932- 33, but it is expected to reduce ex- nses in even greater degree. Plans are being worked out to hold the deb it balance for 1932-33 to a maximum of $1,350,000 and, if necessary on account of continuing distressing conditions, to hold the expenses with in the income for the year," the statement says. "It has been attempted to reduce expenses gradually and to preserve without serious impairment the ser vices and activities of the State gov ernment, and to which the people are entitled. Under distressing and dif ficult conditions, this has been ac complished up to this time." The budget for 1929-80 was under balanced by $992,031, of 1930-31 by $1,340,519 of 1931-32 by $1,725, 13(9, and of 1932-33 estimated, by $i,Yii,oy8, a totol of $5,769,287 for the four years while revenue for the three years ending with this month are $10,113,623 less than estimated. Yet the deficit has been held down to $5,706,378 by reductions of appro priations made to departments and institutions for three years, -ince no reduction has been made in the school fund, by legislative action, and nons could be made in the debt service.
