(INS) —The I Southeast faces its brightest agricul tural prospects in years. Lane H. Ymmg, vice president of the Citizens I and Southern National Rank, said in ! sneaking of the crop outlook for 1927. With an abundance of money for low rales, inventory at retail, whole sale and manufacturing establishments unusually healthy, and with the in dustrial development of this section making steady,, substantial gains, the Sourheast is resting upon a founda tion of stabiliy ami the future is one of soundness and full of positive pros pects of a great volumn of business ihis coining fall, Mr. Young declared. The rich Southeastern states, with almost untouched resources, offer the greatest ami safest investments of the country, he continued, and the eyes of the nation ure now turned upon us. “Present business conditions in this i section are satisfactory and will re main so during the remainder of the year” he said. Air. Young said the reason for this healthy condition is that retail mer chants have not bought lurge stocks ■ of merchandise, jobbers are not over loaded with goods, ami manufacturers are not stocked up with excessive sup plies of raw material. “The present situation is the abso lute reverse of that in 1920. when the post-war deflation started." Mr. Young said. “Then the retailer, jobber and manufacturer were loaded to the gills with finished or unfinished products. “All lines of business are now oper ating as close to shore as possible and none have burdensome stocks of mer chandise. They are making short, frequent purchases and thus provide a steady market for all essential com modities. “Money is easier because of this condition. Merchants and other busi ness interests, carrying a smaller in ventory, have released hundreds of i millions of dollars throughout the na tion that formerly were title up in ■frozen credits.’ , “According to a recent survey we made throughout the State of Georgia, the cotton «Top is from a week to 10 days earlier than last year and with Anything like normal weather through-' out the remainder of the growing and maturing season, Georgia will un doubtedly produce one of the finest cotton crops in several years. “The Southeast has gained national recognition as a great and growing industrial section and each year is bringing millions of dollars of new investments.” County Manager Plan Being Tried. The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel j Raleigh, May 26.—The county man ager plan of county government hae just been introduced in Craven county when the board of commissioners at a recent meeting elevated L.

NOTHING NEW IN DOCUMENT .’Most of xMatter Had Been Covered in the Premier’s Speech in House of Com mons Several Days Ago. London. May 26.— (A I )—The British government today made good its prom ao 1 to publish some of the documents alleged to have been uncovered in re cent sensational raid on the Soviet House in London, headquarters of the soviet trade delegation and Areos Ltd., the Russian commercial organi zation. It issued a white paper containing these documents to illustrate as the captain said, "the hostile activities of the soviet government, and the third internationale against Great Britain.” The most interesting part of the contents from an international if not from the British standpoint, was a list of addresses allegedly found in possession of Anton Miller, soviet sycher clerk, who Premier Baldwin told the House of Commons in Tues day's speech, was found hurriedly burning papers in his office when the raiders appeared. While the white paper gave this out simply as a “list of addresses found in the possession of Anton Mil ler" it is assumed to be the same list which Premier Baldwin described as a “list of secret cover addresses, or 'il legal’ addresses for communication with communist parries in the Cnited States. Mexico. South America. Can ada. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa." I The edge was rather taken off most i of the other documents from the fact that the premier read them or quoted I extensively from *theiu in Tuesday’s speech in which he announced the in tention of the government, to break relations with soviet Russia and ter minate the trade agreement of 1921. . .•**.,.»———-——- - ! ■ STORM NORFOLK AND PORTSMOUTH KILLED SIX Most of Them Were Killed at Base ball Game Wlieit Part of Roof on Grandstand Was Blown Off. Norfolk, May 26.—OP)—Six are dead today and more than 30 recov ering from injuries as a result of the j windstorm which yesterday struck the Norfolk-Portsmouth section. Two of the dead and most of the injured were I among the 2,000 fans who had crowd led into the Portsmouth Virginia League baseball park for a game at which Kennesaw Mountain Landis, high commissioner of baseball, was a ■guest of honor. A aection of the roof of the grandstand was blown off. and fell within a few feet of Commissioner Landis, but he escaped uninjured, and today was on his way to New York.

New Orleans, May 26.—C4 5 )—In the face of continued warnings from re lief chiefs and engineers, residents of Point Coupee parish still clung to their homes today. Many were leav ing as water began to encroach on their lands, but relief authorities fear ed many had been cut off from escape.

BASKERYILL Ra'eigh, May 26.—Just, what pr4* [ jK>rtion of Die $3.250.(KK) educational equalization fund each county will re ceive. as well as the valuation of all property in each county and the school tax rate will be determined by the State equalization board which is in session here today and which may c.rer into ttmtofrmv. The most difficult problem the board facto is determining the new valua tion of-the property in the various counties, since this new valuation this time must be estimated, since there was not sufficient time allowed to per mit of an actual revaluation in each | county. However, records have been obtained from all the counties of the valuation listed on the tax books in 1925-26 together with the school ex pense* for that year as yielded by a 40 cents tax for school purposes. Taking these figures as a working basis, the budget estimates for the coming school year of 1J127-28 have been found and where the present valua tion is insufficient to yield that amount from a 40 cents tax, the valuation will probably be increased sufficiently to yield the necessary revenue required by law to operate the schools for six months. It is believed that an in crease of from only 6 to 8 per cent, in the valuation will yield the neces sary revenue, according to Lelloy Martin, secretary of the board. Rut whether the board will do this J or not is not certain, although it is the course being recommended by Mr.. Martin, who has been devoting several j months of study to the situation. For while the law allows a maximum tax ; of 45 cents for school purposes, the tax at present stands at 40 cents, and it is believed that the board will pre fer to make slight increases in the DR. ARTHUR PRITCHARD DIED SUDDENLY TODAYj Was Leading Surgeon of Asheville and Head of the French Broad Hos pital There. Asheville, May 26.—(/P)—Dr. Ar thur T. Pritchard, 45 years old. lead ing Asheville surgeon, and head of the French Broad Hospital died sud denly early today. His death was at tributed to acute indigestion and heart disease. Dr. Pritchard was a son of the late Jeter C. Pritchard, who suc cessfully served as United States Sen ator from North Carolina and judge of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.. The surgebn was stricken at nine I o’eluoek last iiight while visiting at j the home of a neighbor. j Gives Birthday Party. Little Miss Lillie Mae Felker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Fel ker, held a birthday party at her home on McGill Street Monday evening, in celebration of her sixth birthday an niversary. Delicious refreshments were served to the following guests: Catherine, Crooks, Elizabeth Lee, Louise Hel derman, Eunice Smith, Juanita Smith, Delite Eudy, Sarah Virginia Felker, Edward Morr's and Noel Morris. The hostess received a number of lovely gifts. Jay Sims, who is a member of Sousa's band, arrived this morning from New York to visit his sistei-s, Mrs. -R. E. Ridenhour, Jr.* and Mrs. Gales Pickard, for several days. Miss Roberta Huflerider has return ed from the Normal College at Ashe ville. where *he completed the two-year course for teacher*. valuation here and there, rather than undertake to increase the tax rate,! since if an increase is made, it must be uniform in all the counties. Following the determination of the property valuations in the several counties, the allotments of the equali zation fund will be made. It is in the apportioning of this large equalization fund that the board most difficult ttfsk. however, sine? ft httisf be distributed’ In ac* cordance with the ability of the conn-j tics to raise the necessary funds by j taxation to meet the cost of maintain-1 ing the constitutional six months term.! This cost is measured by the Novem ber budget for the preceding year, in cluding only teachers’ salaries, plus 15 l>er cent, of that amount for operat ing expenses. But the ability to meet the de termined cost is reckoned by the valua tion of the property on the tax books of the counties participating. But here more trouble is encountered, since hardly two counties have the same standard of valuation, it is well known that the valuation ranges anywhere from 50 to 80 per cent, on an average, the valuation iu some counties being as low as 23 per cent, as in Jackson county and as high as 98 per cent, in others, as in Carteret county, ac cording to Mr. Martin. Before the next division of the equalization fund the board will un doubtedly, attempt to make an actual revaluation of all property in the various counties, since no adequate | and equable distribution of funds can be, made without this actual revalua ■ tion. And such a revaluation would undoubtedly reduce the tax rate ma -1 teriall.v in the majority of the counties ! in the state. However, for the time being, the revaluation for this year and the consequent apportionment of the equalization will have to be done largely by estimate. 1 DR. FRANCIS E.

The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 26. —Production of talc and soapstone in North Carolina in 1926 was practically double the out- ! put of the previous year with a value of $97,008 as compared with $48,550, according to figures announced today by the department of conservation and , development. The large increase in the production of the minerals is ascribed by State Geologist H. J. Bryson chiefly to de velopments and the extension of opera tions at two of the largest companies at Hemp and Gleudou, in Moore coun ty, producing a commer cial variety of talc. A further increase in the output of the minerals during the current year is expected by the geologist with preparations being made to operate on a much larger scale at Glendon. Machinery to increase the output of the mines at the place is being in stalled and will be ready to begin operations within, a short time.
