When Wessinger made an attempt td see Daniel and talk with him, he re ported that Daniel would not talk with him or give l any additional rea sons for his dismissal. When these facts became generally known, several hundred high school students paraded up and down Fay etteville street here in vigorous pro test, carrying banners inscribed “Down with Daniel” and “Throw Daniel into the Lion’s Den,” and other similar sentiments.

A run-off contest for governor was made certain with the an nouncement by Dr. McDonald that he would remain in the fight against the veteran campaigner, Hoey. At his headquarters in Raleigh, the Winston-Salem legislator made the cryptic comment: “There will be a second primary on July 4 and the Fourth of July will be independence day.” Simultanousiy, the Charlotte News declared here McDonald would change his tactics in the ensuing four weeks drive. The paper said it had learned from an “unimpeachable source” that he would make liquor control the paramount plank in his campaign subordinating to it the sales tax 1 repeal issue and criticism of what he calls “machine rule” in the State. Hoey, resting at his Shelby home, had no comment to make upon the outcome of the record shattering primary except to ex press his appreciation at the huge vote given him.

AUBERT SMITH, of Liberty EOBACCOCIf CUT HALF, SCHAUB SAYS Loss to Weed and Cotton Growers Estimated Al ready at $50,000,000 Dnlly Dispatch Riirena, In The Sir Walter Hotel, By J. C. IIASKKRvn,!, Raleigh, June 6.—The tobacco and cotton crops in North Carolina have already been cut in half by the dry weather, with the result that, if plenty of rain is forthcoming from now on the farmers of the State have already lost between $50,000,000 and $75,000,- 000, Dean I. O. Schaub, of the School of Agriculture at State College, said today. While the light showers of the past week have been a great help, they were not general enough or of sufficient duration to be of great help to the farmers, Schaub said. “Although both tobacco and cotton should be planted early in May, there are thousands of farmers who have not yet been able to plant either," Dean Schaub said. “And many who have planted tobacco will have to re set most of it if and when enough rain comes to pi’ovide enough mois ture. The same thing is also true of many cotton farmers, especially in the eastern part of the State. In the old tobacco belt west of Raleigh, there is still time to set out tobacco and make a good crop. It is still not too late late to plant cotton in Piedmont and western countes. But in the eastern section, it is already far past planting time for both tobacco and cotton. So the outlook is decidedly discouraging for more than half a crop of either cotton or tobacco." The only encouraging aspect of the situation is that the farmers will pro bably receive better prices for the tobacco and cotton they are able to raise, due to the fact that the crop will be short and production light, (Continued on Page Two.) 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY RECORD VOTE CAST OrOEMOCRATS IN 469,656 Votes Counted in 1,644 of State’s 1,850 Precincts Reported Thus Far BAILEY SAFE OVER ALL OF OPPONENTS All Congressmen Re-Nomi nated Apparently; Grady Leading for Lieutenant- Governor, With George Pou Apparently Named for State Auditor; Scott Leads Charlotte, June B.—(AP) —A run-off gubernatorial contest was indicated today between the veteran party stal wart, Clyde R.
