Federal Relief May Be Curtailed Unless Divisions Give Aid By JOHN SIKES Raleigh, July 12.?The thousands if North Carolinians who for the past year or more have found jobs :>n temporary work projects and Eood, clothing, and medicine at the L06 relief agencies maintained ;hroughout the state may be faced with serious curtailment in their jenefits unless their city, county, ind state governments once again issume the responsibility of helping to care for them. Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, State Relet Administrator, today revealed ;hat Federal grants to North Carolina for relief purposes may be reiuced unless the State and municiDal governments provide a substan;ial proportion of the funds required 'or relief needs. Mrs. O'Berry has just been addsed by Federal Relief Administrax>r Harry L. Hopkins that a survey nade in North Carolina by his adninistration shows the State has 1 efficient resources to Justify -a arger percentage of appropriation o reief purposes than has been nade in the past. However citizens of North Caro- 1 ina may like the comparison, Mr. Hopkins has run his eyes over reief figures for North Carolina and STew York and North Carolina suffers pretty badly from the comparison. Mr. Hopkins explains he made she comparison between these two states because North Carolina is second only to New York in the Jnlon in the payment of Federal 1 saxes. If this be true?and the cold j 'toures are all in Mr. Hopkins' | 'avor?then, reasons the dynamic federal Administrator, North Caroina should contribute a percentage )f relief benefits more comparable ;o the percentage contributed by yew York. The figures show that in New JTork the average monthly benefits aer relief family are $32.16, the average amount each relief family revives per month. Of this amount ;he various governmental subdivisons of New York contribute $18.43, vlth the Federal government confuting the remainder, or $13.73. [n more graphic figures, every time ;he Federal government sends $1 nto New York State for relief purposes New York adds $1.34, more ;han matching dollar for dollar. In North Carolina the average nonthly benefits per relief family is $6.95. Of this amount the state, ind its various local governments, contributes just 76 cents. Using ihese graphic figures again, when she Federal government sends in a iollar for relief purposes in this state, North Carolina adds only a fraction above 12 cents. The seriousness of the situation is amnlv illustrated by what has lust happened in Louisiana, where ;he State Legislature has refused to make an appropriation for relief purposes. Because of this neglect by the Legislature 15,000 destitute citizens of the state will be dropped from Federal relief rolls and the Federal relief appropriations to the 3tate will be cut by about $10,000,300 per year, thus throwing the thousands of unemployables and other relief cases directly back on the counties. Contemplating what may happen In North Carolina if Federal relief appropriations are appreciably re" _ I duced, Mrs. O'Berry nas ju?u wuvten a letter to all mayors and chairmen of county boards of commission in North Carolina asking them to consider relief needs of the state and urging them to include appro(Coratlnued on Page 8) wmt FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1934 NEGRO JAILED ON ASSAULT CHARGE Found Guilty of Striking C. F. Burrow* Over Head With An Oil Can OTHER CASES ARE TRIED John Milam, negro, was convicted In Recorder's court on Monday morning of assaulting C. P. Burrows of Churchill and was sentenced to the roads for a period of two years. The assault charge was preferred against Milam as the result of a blow Mr. Burrows received on his head following a brief altercation which took place at Mr. Burrows' service station and store at Churchill on Saturday night about 8:30 o'clock. A gallon can, containing about a quart of kerosene, was the weapon the negro used in venting his wrath. The can struck Mr. Bur rows on the head and left a cut an inch or so long but the Injury was not regarded as being of a serious nature. Mr. Burrows testified in court Monday morning that he was standing in his store with a switch in his hand when the negro, who was on the outside, hurled the oil can at him. The prosecuting witness also testified that Milam had a knife in his hand at the time. Mr. Burrows' testimony was corroborated by several witness, among them Ben Rooker, who stated that the can was thrown after the lie had passed between the two men. The foundation of the trouble was not brought to light in court. Gilmer Overby, who represented Milam, attempted to bring fcfth testimony from the state's witness that his client had been accused of being a "stool pigeon" and that such accusation was responsible for the lie 1 being passed, but he was unsuccess- 1 ful in his efforts along this line. The defendant, who .was given a 1 bad reputation by several reputable i citizens, did not go on the witness 1 stand to give his version of xthe 1 trouble. At the -outset^cf the case < he, through his attorney, entered a plea of guilty. I Jim Smith, negro, was found 1 guilty on a charge of possessing ' whiskey and was sentenced to the 1 roads for a period of two months. 1 The road sentence was suspended : upon the condition that he pay a $5 fine and court costs, which totalled $25.55. Smith was arrested by Sheriff Pinnell after he had attempted to lose the office by fleeing down sev- 1 eral streets. The negro did not ' have any whiskey on him at the time of his arrest, but there was a jar containing a few drops in the J court room which Sheriff Pinnell J said he had on him when he was trying to escape. Sheriff Pinnell said that when ne j came to town with a prisoner in his car he saw Smith and that his ap- ( pearance led him to believe that ne had something concealed under his overalls. The officer stated that when he told Smith he wanted to see him the negro spoke to him but , kept going. Sheriff Pinnell said that he started running after Smith but remembered that he had left a ^ prisoner in his car and had to come back. He arrescea me negro a icw ( minutes later down one of the side ( streets and found the liquor Jar, . which Sheriff Pinnell said the negro had when he was running and which had been thrown away in an effort to destroy the evidence. Smith entered a plea of not guilty and, when asked why he ran when the officer called to him, stated that he' thought Sheriff Pinnell was after him about his taxes and he was not ready to see him about them. A case against Prank Baker, negro charged with possessing whiskey, was postponed until next week when a Jury will decide whether he is guilty or innocent. ENLISTS IN ARMY SCHOOL Mr. Haywood M. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Prank M. Davis of Macon, Route 2, left the first of July for Norfolk where he enlisted in the Army Preparatory School for West Point.

State Cotton u Acreage Estimated 11 At 977,000 Acres d Washington, July 9.?The De- ? partment of Agriculture today esti- * mated cotton acreage in cultivation July 1 in the United States at 28,024,000, which was 68.6 per cent of the 40,852,000 acres under cultivation a year ago. North Carolina's 1934 acreage is ' estimated at 977,000 acres, against 1,320,000 in 1933. w During 1933 cotton farmers rent- ^ ed approximately 10,495,000 acres to fe the government and plowed up standing cotton. This year approximately 15,000,000 have been rented ^ to the government. c( The crop reporting board said the io 28,024,000 acres was 31.4 per cent less than on July 1, 1933, and 32.4 el per cent Jess than the average for sl the five-year period 1928-32, in- a] elusive, The decrease from last year's ct figures ranged from 25 per cent in Georgia to 36 per cent in Oklanoma. Arizona and California were A the only two states showing an inirease over 1933. ^ The drop was attributed chiefly a] to the crop reduction program of el the Farm Administration, combined w with the "restricting influence of w the Bankhead crop control act on planters who did not sign voluntary F reduction contracts." o( WILL ABANDON EFFORTS FOR GINNING AGREEMENT u) Washington, July 10.?The Farm t Administration is preparing to p abandon the proposed marketing agreement for cotton ginners. Repeated conferences have failed w to budge the ginners in their de- p< mands for minimum prices for gin- ^ ning deemed too high by administration officials. e And, considering further negotiations fruitless, the administration P has decided to drop the matter entirely, leaving the ginners without an agreement of any sort A dozen hearings, seeking the y) V1 WS 01 growers ana upcraiiisi a un ^ the proposed agreement, held throughout the cotton belt, were . completed recently. Gin'men have been holding out ^ for provisions in the agreement t{ guaranteeing them a return b| amounting at least to what they consider cost. Farm administration ^ officials disputed that demand, contending the farmer gets no guaran- gt tee of cost of production for his g products. b( The maximum charges proposed p] at a hearing here by ginners repre- T sentatives were as follows: p, In Alabama, Florida, Georgia, ' North Carolina and Virginia, 35 cents per hundred-weight of seed cotton. In Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee, 40 cents per hundred p Vi pounds. In Oklahoma and in the nonirrigated areas of Texas, 4t cents 1 per hundred pounds.
