In the Sir Uniter Hotel, lly J (J. Hawkervllle. Raleigh. Jan. 3.—Gasoline prices have just advanced one cent a gal lon in this territory, bringing the prevailing price of the leading trade marked brands up to 19 1-2 cents a gallon in Raleigh and vicinity, al though it is understood that in Dur ham the price is 20 1.2 cents per gal lon. But in Creedmoor and Oxford and at filling stations between these two towns it is reported that gasoline is selling for only 16 cents a gallon., All of which is reviving speculation here as to whether the General As. sembly which convenes next week, will be asked to do anything with regard to the gasoline price situation i in North Carolina and to protect the public from the whims of the gasoline companies. For every time the big j gasoline companies increase the price of gasoline one cent a gallon, as they have just dene, it costs the motor ing public of the State $120,000 a day more for their gasoline. An increase I of one cent a gallon, if kept in es -1 feet for an entire year, would cost the motorists of the State $51,100,000.

DEFICIT MUCH UNDER ESTIMATES But Revenue Is Also Less Than President Expected It Would Be By LESLIE El CHE L Central lTess Stuff Writer New York. Jan. 3.—Despite the clamor over the federal deficit, it is not so high as President Roosevelt ihad estimated publicly. It will be recalled that. In announc ing his recovery program, the Presi dent had estimated a deficit averag ing approximately $602,000,000 a month. Actual def’.cit for November was $392,000,000. But receipts, also, are below the presidential estimate. Receipts for November amounted to only $247,000,000. It had been estimated they would amount to $331,000,000. Actual expenditures totaled $639,- 000.000 —against an estimate of $935,- 000.000. Public debt rose to a new alL.time high—527,229,000,000. or $705,000,000 higher than the wartime peak, in August, 1919. The debt will be more than a (bil lion higher as of January 1 due to recent borrowings. President Roosevelts estimate call ed, for an increase in public debt to $33,743,000,000. Interest on the present date is $850,000,000 annually. AN “ILLUSION”? Frederic Jenny is financial editor of Le Temps, a leading French news paper.

Jan. 3. —The United States Supreme Court will be decid ing soon whether or not it can do anything toward freeing Tom Mooney For 18 years Mooney lias been a Cali fornia penitentiary inmate, following his conviction with Warren K.

Some of thees were found in Hyde county and in some other counties. But as §oon as they were located, not only were the infected cattle slaugli. tered at once, but the entire herd was slaughtered.
