Negro Found Dead
In Branch; No Foul
Play Is Believed
Peter Fields, 60-year-old negro,
was found dead in a shallow creek
near Norlina on Wednesday by
some blackberry pickers.
An investigation on the part of a
Jury impaneled by Coroner Ed Petar
disclosed no evidence of foul play,
it was stated.
According to information given
the investigating body, the negro
was last seen on Sunday when he
went after the cows. No marks were
found on the banks of the creek
where he was found to indicate that
there had been any kind of scuffle,
it was said, and those doing the investigating
expressed the belief
that he dropped dead as he was
crossing the creek. At the place
where the body of the man was
found the water was said to be
about three feet deep.

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

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.

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

For PINA cotton, 90 cents per
