Her features composed, but her face ghastly white. Dr. Wynekoop sat calmly at her counsel’s table. Her ex pression did not change when Assis tant State’s Attorney Charles Daugh try asked the first venireman whether he had any scruples against inflict ing the death penalty if the woman physician were found guilty.

Huge Sum To Be Paid Out If Sign-Up Goes Over Properly Daily Dispatch Bureau, In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. f, BASKERVILL. Raleigh, Jan. 11. —North Carolina cotton growers should receive in ren tal and benefit payments during 1934 the sum of approximately $6,500,000 if the acreage to cotton is reduced an average of 40 per cent under that for the five year base period of 1928 to 1932. Dean I. O. Schaub, head of the ex tension service at State College, says the average annual cotton acreage for North Carolina during the base per iod was 1,440,000 acres. A reduction of 40 percent would mean that grow ers would plant approximately 869,000 acres or would reduce the crop by 580,000 acres for 1934. North Carolina growers had re ceived $2,832,555 in rental payments up to January 1, Schaub pointed out. This amount was paid on 50,216 con tracts accepted for plowing up cotton last summer. The same growers also hold options on 104,609 bales of gov ernment cotton at six cents a pound. The initial payment of S2O a bale is now being made available on these options which means that North Caro lina growers will get $2,092,180 addi tion as a result of the cotton plow-up (Continued on Page Eight.)
