Julf 11.—Charges that chain stores are taking advantage of the three per cent sales tax and the ruling by Commissioner A. J. Max well that it is not necessary to show the amount of the tax with each pur chase, to increase prices from 10 to li> per cent rather than only three per cent, are being made by mer chants here. They point to the fact that the managers of two chain stores in Fayetteville have already been ar rested for failure to comply with the law. Reports were also received here this morning to the effect that war rants had been drawn for the arrest of the manager of a Rocky Mount chain store. It was also reported that the managers of two large chain grocery store systems had been order ed to mark up their prices on every thing in their stores 15 per cent and to tell the public that the increases in prices had been necessary because of the sales tax. This development is being blamed by the merchants here on the refusal of Commissioner of Revenue Maxwell to require all merchants to show the price of every article and the amount of the sales tax separately on all the (Continued on Page Three.)

HENDERSON, N. C., TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 'll 1933 Farmers Who Got Loans Os Government Warned To Cut Cotton Acreage Unless They Do Sign Far Reduction of Crop, If They Grow Cotton, They May N ot Be Able To Get Money -. From Government Du ring Another Season Raleigh, July 11.—(AP)—Charles A. Sheffield, -acting State director of the cotton reduction campaign, today warned some 74,000 North Carolina farmers who have secured financial aid from the government that they *may find it hard to use such sources of credit in the future” if they are cotton farmers and do not cooperate in cron retirement. Sheffield said Culley A. Cobb, in ch&rge of the co.ton reduction cam paign, had notified him that his ex tention forces were to be prepared to make a check of all borrowers from the government who failed to coop erate in signing reduction contracts. ‘‘Cotton growers who have borrow ed money from the government thro ugh the crop production loan office or the regional credit corporation may find it hard to use such sources or credit in the future,” a statement said FEWESTPRISONERS IN SEVERAL YEARS "r Leniency of Officer# and In creased Employment Is Given as Reason Dally Dlspntcli Bnrenv, In Ike Sir Walter Hot—l. HT J. C BASKKR VII,I, Raleigh, July 11—Fewer prisoners are in the county jails now than in years, especially (prisoners awaiting trial, according to L. G. Wihitley, pri son inspector for the) State Board of Charities and Public Welfare. One reason for this is undoubtedly the in crease in employment within the past month or two. Part of it is also un doubbtedly due to greater leniency on the part of the courts towards petty offenders, Whitley thinks. > ‘‘l was in Craven county last week, and there were only five prisoners in the entire jail,” Whitley said. ‘‘A few days before there was only one pris oner in the jail. There was only one prisoner in the Pamlico county jail when I visited it last week and in all the jails I visited in, the eastern part (Continued on Page Six) SPANISH WAfTvETS CONCLUDE REUNION Winston-Salem, July ill.—(AP)— The North Carolina Department of 'Spanish-American War ad journed its annual reunion here to day after selecting Fayetteville as the place for the 1934 convention and { electing officers nominated yesterday. Sheffield said a hasty check indi cated that about 70,000 State farmers hai used crop production loans to fi nance crops, having secured $6,049,- 407 in cash up to June 7, and in ad dition some 4,000 other farmers had secured loans from the regional credit corporation. ‘‘lt is believed that a large percent age of these 74,000 borrowers are cot ton growers,” the statment said. Some of the growers are “deluc taret” to sign cotton contracts, it con tinued, “for the reason that the gov ernment has ruled that any rental paid must be applied to the face of their loan.” “However, since these loans must be paid when the crop is sold, there is only the question of time involved. Those borrowers who do cooperate in the reduction plan and secure cash rentals will play that much on debts due later.” fjSEtask Management of Highway and Prison Programs As sumed by Board In the Sir Walter Hotel. Daily Dispatch Burcaa, BV ,1 n. RASKERVILL. Raleigh, July 11. —The consolida tion of the administration of the State's highways and the State’s Pri son system under a single board is at last a reality. The new State High way and Public Works Commission took over tjie control of these two agencies when its members were for mally sworn in here yesterday, and immediately got down to business set ting up its organization for carrying out the work it has to do. E. B. Jeffress, chairman of the old State Highway Commission, was . elected chairman of the new commission, while George Ross Pou, former super intendent of the State Prison, was se lected as executive director of the new commission, in which role he will act as next inauthority to Chairman Jef fress. The new commission has the biggest job before it of any State division, and becomes the largest single branch of the State government. Here are some of the principal tasks the new commission must perform. Maintain more than 55,000 miles of highway in the State. Supervise the expenditure of sll,- 000,000 of Federal funds in the con struct on of new highways and the (improvement and rebuilding of old (Continued on Page Three.j PUBLISHED EVERY AFTBJRNOOM EXCEPT SUNDAY, Menace Crops Up l In Four Sections Os United States Government Will Hold Bread Down Washington, July 11.—(AP)_ Secretary Wallace telegraphed to day to mayors of 49 cities in 25 states announcing that the govern ment will use its full powers, if necessary to prevent “unwarranted increases in bread prices.” He has received protests on “un reasonable increases” in bread prices in connection with the pro cessing tax levy of 30 cents a bushel on wheat, which went into effect Sunday. Frederick Clemson Howe, who heads a section of the farm admin istration to protect the interests of consumers, said that “every ef fort will be made to check advances in food prices where they are un justified.” HSe Success Depends Greatly on Events of Next Few Days and Grave Concern Is Felt TEXTILE INDUSTRY ~ IS ONLY AGREEMENT Roosevelt Had Hoped To Have Code Program Well Under Way for Major In dustries in 60 Days After Law Was Exacted; That Prospect Is Now Dim Washington, July 11.—(AP)— The industrial control program, upon which turns the outcome of the ad ministration’s whole national recovery projects, is now definitely at a critical stage, with success depending greatly on evnts the next few days. The surface optimistic tone of offi cials is maintained; industries are daily promising cooperation, and several actually are moving to enter agreements for self regulation, with increased employment and wages. Nevertheless, in Washington there is grave concern. Essentiall, the situation today is that only the cotton textile industry, with 400,000 employees, has an agree ment. This going into effect next Monday, will boost minimum wages above the present average and limit hours of work and production. No other industry has set a code. Three weeks, almost certainly must elapse before any single additional code can go into effect. President Roosevelt had hoped to have the code program well started for cajor industries within 60 days of June 16, when it became law. That prospect is now dim. Rail Labor To Accept 1932 Cuts Cleveland, Ohio, July 11. —(AP) — The railway labor executives’ associa tion announced today that all the in terested railway employees had con firmed an agreement to continue the temporary ten percent wage reduction placed in effect February 1, iv 32. The agreement was tentatively sign ed in Washington last month by the labor association and railway man agement representatives after the ad ministration had dissuaded the man agement from a demand for another 12 1-2 percent reduction beginning this November.

A distraught nation looked today to its government for protection against the lurking menace of the kidnaper. In four different sections of the United States yesterday, persons had been reported lifted from their midst of their fellows by abductors. In Albany, N. Y., the press disclos ed the abduction several days ago of John J. (“Butch”) O’Connell, 24-year old Manlius athlete, and nephew of Hdward J. and Daniel P. O’Connell, dominant figures in up-State Demo cratic politics. A $250,00 ransom was reported demanded for his safe re turn. Belief that O’Connell was kidnaped in an act of revenge against his uncles was expressed in sources close to the family today, as hours dragged by without word from the kidnapers. In Alton, 111., two men entered the home of August Luer, 78-year-old; banker and semi-invalid, knocked his wife down when she attempted tja ward them off, and drove away in a car with him.
