HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-THIRD YEAR REBELS ADVANCING OH SPANISH CAPITAL UNITED STATES MAY RESTORE ITS FLEET IN EUROPEAN AREAS Generally Uncertain Situa tion on Continent Leads to Fears for Ameri cans There TWO WARSHIPS OFF TO SPANISH COAST Sent at Top Speed To Pro tect Interests of Americans in Civil War Now Raging There; Government Con scious of Crisis Impending In Europe Now Washington, July 22 (AP) A possibility that the general ly uncertain European situa tion might impel the United States to re-establish a naval squadron in European waters was indicated today by Secre tary Hull. The secretary projected that as two American men-of-war raced against time for Spanish waters so they might evacuate nationals if that were nec essary. The secretary’s suggestion was in response to questions of newsmen concerning the dispatching of two vessels to the strife-torn European country. He said consideration of the ques tion had not progressed to any de finite point, but this government was not unmindful of the problem creat ed for it by the absence of vessels on permanent station in European waters. Hull’s talk with newsmen followed shortly after the Embassay at Mad rid flashed word of an important bat tle near Toledo between armed militia and rebel troops. Eric C. Wendelin, third secretary of the Embassy, reported to the State Department that all Americans in Madrid were safe. Although no word has been receiv ed of the injury of any of the 1,582 Americans known to be in Spain, concern for their safety was evidenced by the intentness with which officials followed efforts to evacuate them. They expected the heavy cruiser Quincy, en route to Gibraltar to pick up American refugees, to reach there Friday. All possible speed was ordered also in preparation for the battleship Okla homa to sail tomorrow night from Cherbourg, France, for Bilbao, Spain, not far from San Sebastian, where Ambassador Claude G. Bowers main tains his summer embassy. Resorts Os State Have Huge Trade Only One More Link Possible Until New Funds Are Provided Next Year Daily Dlkimtrh Bnrenw. In The Sir Walter Hote Raleigh, July 22.—With only enough money left to provide for the construe tion of one more link in the Blue Ride Parkway, to connect the Shen andoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, no additional projects are likely to he undertaken until the new appropriation of $10,000,000 be comes available on July 1, 1937, Chair man Capus M. Waynick of the State Highway and Public Works Commis sion pointed out here today. This last link, known a s 2-N-l, is a five mile link in the Mount Mitchell area and immediately adjoins the link of 3.4 k: miles now under construction from Buck Creek Gap to Big Laural moun tain. It will run from Big Laural mountain across Licklog Ridge, Green Knob and Big Fork Ridge to Deep Gap. From this point the route of the parkway is survey across the Crag gies and on down to its intersection with U. S. Route 70 near Oteen, where it will also cross the French Broad river. But construction of these other links will undoubtedly have to be held up until next summer, Chairman Waynick believes. “I was in Washington lasi week conferring with park service and IJ. K.

(AP) Drought left a bill for some $200,009,- 000 on southern farmers’ doorsteps be fore it was routed by rains in the past fortnight, agriculture officials estimated today. But they could not estimate the ultimate effect on Dixie’s 1936 farm income. Lack of accurate data on crops ac tually destroyed, uncertainty still sur rounding maturing growth, price movements and other - factors, all made it impossible to determine the net losses but increased" prices were expected to help offset some of the Slump in April, May and June Believed Due Most ly to- Seasons Dnfly Dlapntch B arena. In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 22.—Gross sales of li quor in the more than 60 county li quor stores in the 18 counties having legal liquor stores, declined during April, May and June, although in some individual counties the sales showed an increase instead of a de crease, according to the figures just released by the Department of Rev enue. The figures were compiled from the sales tax reports made by the va rious liquor stores, but do not include the sales tax. The gross sales of liquor in the county liquor stores through March 31, 1936, less the sales tax, amounted to $2,666,941, while the gross sales in all the stores in the 18 “wet” coun ties for the months of April, May and June amounted to $678,083, bringing the total sales in all the stores thro ugh June 30, 1936, since the stores were opened last summer and fall to $2,715,024, the figures show. Since the profit the counties make on the sale of liquor in the county ABC stores is generally agreed to be about 30 per cent of the total gross sales, these counties have made a profit of about $723,500 from the sale of liquor since they were opened last year. The gross sales in April amounted to $266,997, in May to $225,109 and in June to $185,975, with Franklin county not reporting, the figures show. The April figures contain the gross sales for January and February in Frank lin county, as well as for February and the February sales for Vance and Lenior counties, which is one reason the April sales are larger than for either May or June, it is pointed Continued on Page Five.) | top, right, air view of Madrid, the nation’s capital.

Virginia authorities expected a drop in farm income of some $7,000,000 to $10,000,000. Louisiana officials were hopeful of good sugar cane and cotton crops, and Mississippi saw the possibility of a $10,000,000 cotton yield, best in years. TRADEBALANCEIN JUNEISADVERSE But U. S.
