844,000 June 30, 1933, and deposits
of 239,057,000 June 30, 1934, Mr.
Brown states.
The estimate is based on state
ments of some of the banks and if
the percentage holds out for the en
tire State, the increase from June,
1933, three and a half months, will
be $80,000,000, or more than the
$57,000,000 gain from June, 1933,
to June, 1934, an entire year, Mr.
Brown said. He points out that the
big gains are in eastern banks large
ly, due to the tobacco and cotton
prices. The loans show some increase,
.which is unusual for this time of the
year, when crops are being sold and
old loans are being paid off. New
loans are being made at a more rapid
rate that old ones are being paid off,
he finds.
As a rare instance, the N. C. In
dustrial Commission holds that the
death of A. O. Partridge, Albemarle,
branch manager, salesman and col
lector for L. B. Price Mercantile Co.,
and injured when his car overturned
between Wadesboro and Albemarle,
causing his death the next day, , was
due to intoxication and therefore,
under the compensation law is not
compensable. He has been on bus
iness for his company. Former Chair
man Matt H. Allen had awarded his
widow and three children $13.79 a
week foir 350 weeks, but the full
commission reversed the decision
and held death due to intoxication.

Court, probably.

of Dean I. O. Schaub, of State Col

per cent of the homes to pay 25 cents
will be awarded $5.00. If one home
jhas children in several rooms, each
child gets credit for the money paid.
Upon the suggestion of Mrs. T. M.

CITY POLICE COURT MONDAY
HAD ONLY TWO CASES
Only two cases were tried in City
Police Court Monday night. In both
of these drunkenness was the offense
alleged.
(Neil Willis was let off with a fine
of $2.50 as it was his first offense.
Charlie Phillips, who has been in
court sveral times on drunkenness
charges was given the option of pay
ing $5.00 or working 10 days on the
streets.
Judge Webb said that in view of
the fact that the men said that Aus
tin was a pretty good young fellow
and helped his father in his work
that he would be rather light in his
sentence. He suspended judgment on
a 90 day jail sentence, required him
to pay the costs $21.25 must not
drive a car for six months and must
violate no law for the next two
years.
The case against Cleve Norris,
colored man from Norht Harlowe
charged withh aving liquor in his
possession was dismissed. The State
could not prove that the liquor found
on the side of the road belonged to
Uleve.
uienn jrutnrie, against whom a
liquor charge has been pending for
several weeks, sent word that he had
to go to the hospital at New Bern
for some treatment and his case was
continued again.

Reemployment Chief
Resigns His Position
RALEIGH, Nov. 19 Capus M.
Waynick, North Carolina Director of
the Federal Reemployment service
here for 16 months, has resigned to
return to his work as editor of the
High Point Enterprise, from which
he had leave of absence, and the re
employment work will be merged
into the office of Commissioner of
Labor A. L. Fletcher. Mrs. Mary T.
Evans, High Point, and William F.
George, Fayetteville, who have been
division supervisors from the begin
ning, and S. F. Campbell, statistician
most of the time, will remain in the
administration of the work under
Major Fletcher. The original plan of
the federal service was that it be
merged with the State labor depart
ment after the emergency had clear
ed up.
Mr. Waynick, who was senator
representing the Guilford-Rocking
ham district in the 1933 General As
sembly, was defeated in the Demo
cratic primary in June for renomina
tion by Dr. J. T. Burrus, after a
hard campaign, Mr. Maynick has
been mentioned for the post of chair
man of the State Highway and Pub
lic Works Commission, if that place
becomes vacant due to the continu
ed serious illness of Chairman E. B.
Jeffress.
Lausanne, Switzerland, has a

TIDE TABLE
Information as to tne tid
at Beaufort is given in this col
umn. The figures are approx
imately correct and based on
tables furnished by the U. S.
Geodetic Survey. Some allow

tions in the wind and also with
respect to the locality, that is
whether near the inlet or at
the heads of th estuaries.
ed is the principal ingredient of the
big-selling cigarettes.
It was estimated that about 550,-
000,000 pounds of this year's crop
would find its way into channels of
commerce before the markets close
sometime after January 1.
Seeks Balance
The administration's goal is a bal
ance between consumption and pro
duction and its officials hope that the
proposed will not drive down this
year's present good prices.
So far this season, the flue-cured
price average on markets from Vir
ginia to Florida has been above 26
cents per pound. Two years ago the
price average was 10 cents, and last
year, even after the voluntary mar
keting program was instituted it was
only 15.3 cents.
Several factors entered into the
price increase this season, notably
the smaller crop of 550,000,000
pounds compared with 708,488,000
pounds the year before and the op
eration of the Kerr-Smith tobacco
production control act which in ef
fect levied a 25-per cent ad valorem
tax on tobacco marketed outside the
voluntary program. The tax theoret
ically was levied on all tobacco
grown, but those farmers who had
signed the voluntary crop reduction
contracts weref urnished tax pay
ment warrants which were used tj
pay taxes on their authorized produc
tion quotas.
By far the bulk of flue-cured to
bacco production is in the hands of
those who signed the reduction con
tracts with Secretary Wallace. AAA
said today that 97 per cs-nt of the
growers of this type were parties to
the agreement, which Wallace is ex
pected to extend for the year 1935.
Under the agreement, Wallace was
authorized to order it extended for
the coming year if he deemed it de
sirable. Those in touch with the sit
uation said there is no doubt of the
extension.
They predicted the extension wheth
er or not the Keer-Smith act's provis
ions are continued by vote of flue-
cured farmers. A two-thirds vote of
those who own or otherwise control
the production of the tobacco nec
essary to continuance of that tax
program. The vote is to be taken
early in December.
The production increase contem
plated could be passed on to the farm
ers by increasing their quotas. Un
der the original set up-, production
was limited to 70 per cent of base
production. Later, this was increased
to 80 per cent, but those who increas
ed their production past 70 per cent
of base received smaller benefits
payments.
The-flue-cured farmers who took
part in the agreement this year are
receiving $17,000,000 in rental and
benefit payments from the govern
ment. Of this total, $4,500,000 was in
the form of rental payments.
