Tribune Burean Sir Walter Hotel Raieigh May 26.—With crops aV ' eraging from ten to fifteen days late ') already, rain is being needed more than ever nnd in reality would, be "showers of blessing" to the farmers ill northern and northeastern North ( Carolina, according to W. H. Rhodes, Jr„ of the state crop reporting bu t reau, who has just returned from an inspection trip through twenty-seven counties in the principal agricultural .sections. Crops now are at a most : critical stage ami a good rain would ; mean the dicerence between excellent and poor prospects. , An increased rather than a de i creased cotton acreage is evident, de spite the faet that those well in . formed advised the planting of smal ler acreages this year. The crop is late, dne to the cold weather and the lack of moisture, through around , Elizabeth City the stand is unusually good with prospects most promising. Cotton in counties along tht route from Craven to Wake is suffering ex eessivl.v for needed rains, however, ami the stands are unusually poor. Corn also shows the effects of lack of moisture while tobacco plants arc parching inthe field. Grain crops through the eastern Piedmont section are fair, however, despite the dryness, with wheat show ing the best condition in years, with a substantial increase in acreage. The stands are strong, and though the plants are rather short, the heads are well filled and a good yield is ex pected. Spring onts, on the other hand, are considered almost a failure, while fail oats show a condition much below normal. Corn prospects are most promising in the entire section, having come to a good stand almost everywhere. Tobacco is just being planted in most of the counties visited west of Northampton .and it is necessary in most places to water the plants ns they are set out and even then they are slow to start growing.

A COMPROMISE IS INTRODUCED Resolution Prepared by, Church Leaders in Hope! or Reconciling Differ ences in Denomination. Washington. Mny 26.— C4>) —The Northern Baptist Church convention here today voted to table an amend ment to the church by-laws requiring immersion as a prerequisite to mem bership in the church. Modernists and all those favoring compromises of the fumlnmeiit.ili.st modergist controversy supported the motion to table the amendment which was proposed at the Senftle conven tion last year. It would have de fined a Baptist church ns one com posed only of those w'lo had been im mersed. The motion to table was introduced by Dr. J. W. Brougher. of California, who immediately after its adoption introduced the following compromise: "The Northern Baptist convention recognizes its constituency as consist ing solely of those Baptist .churches in which the immersion of believers is recognized nnd practiced ns the only scriptural baptism; and the con vention hereby declares that Qnly im mersed members will be recognized ns members to the convention." I)r. Brougher said this resolution had been prepared following a con ference of Baptist lenders at Chicago in the hope of reconciling differences in the denomination. He described it as leaving the definition of what constitutes a Baptist church to the local association of churches, and at the same time disavowing the prin ciple of open membership by not al lowing uuimmersed persons to be rec ognized as convention delegates. ROSS AWAITS DOOM Vuf Penalty fw 3»>;ng Mrs. Sidney Odom. Raleigh. May 25.—W. L. Ross, convicted slayer of Mr. and Mrs. Sid ney Odom, in Warren county, today sits moodily in a narrow cell in death row, in the State prison here, almost within sight of the grim shadow of the electric chair in which he soon must sit to expiate with his life for the crime of which he lias been con victed. He ns' been confined in the prison since about 2 a. m. Sunday morning, whence he was brought from Warren ton immediately after the completion of his trial there Saturday night. The deatli chamber is situated im mediately off the end of that portion of the cell house in which those who are condemned to death are kept, and when the sun casts its rays in a cer tain manner, the shadow of the elec tric chair, sitting in the small, white washed room, literally may be seen across the floor of the corridor at the end of “death row.” Grim, silent, crushed in spirit, Ross sits in bis narrow cell awaiting the day when the hiss and sputter of a high voltage circuit follows the metallic click of a switch that will wipe out his life and he will have paid the price. Gray-Heads and Not Youth Haunt London Night Chibs. London, May 25. (4 s ) —Gray hends or heads that would be gray if nature had not been assisted, are so numerous in London night clubs that newspapers generally agree with the statement of the late Sir Squire Bancroft hat the “youhg-man-about town" no longer exists in England. The Kit-Cat and other well-known Loudon night clubs are the haunts of the middle-aged and aged. Prac tically none bf the dancers is really young. This is true of the women as well as the men. Youth has its fling in the popular danechalls where the cost is less and it is not necessary to be so formally dressed. ■ ' Ozone and Not Cupid Is Spring's Love Tonic. London, May 26.—(A*) —Cupid has nothing to do with the epidemic of lovemaking which comes with spring. It is ozone, and not the god of love, so British scientists told the Royal Society, which fires poets and lovers at the passing of winter. There is no sense in psycho-ana lyzing frisky youth to determine why it acts differently in the spring ns these scientists said in the spring months there is the maximum amount of ozone in the air, with the result that lambs frisk and all na ture has more energy than in any other season.

BUT LITTLE INTEREST IN THE COMING PRIMARY Although But a Few Days Off.—The Overman-Reynolds Campaign. Tribune Bureau. Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 20.—Despite the faet that the Democratic primary is now but a few days off. little more than passing interest in the Sena jtorial race is being taken in political I circles here. The rank and file of the older nnd more conservative Demo ] crats seem to tnke it ns a matter of ■course that Senator Lee S. Overman I will be renominated by a large and I substantial majority, despite the i vigorous campaign being made by | Robert R. Reynolds, of Asheville, ■ Ills opponent. , While many of them know Rey nolds and like him personally, they will vote for Overman out of re spect to his long service to the State in the Senate. "Senator Overman has been a tried qud faithful repre. , sentative of our interest In. Wash ington and we are going to continue to keep him there,” is the opinion ex pressed by many. On the other hand, there are the I nvowed proponent of Reynolds’ can didacy who believe that it would be a good thing for the state to have a younger man, of his energy and en thusiasm, in riie Senate. They see a large following for Reynolds among tlie younger men of the state and in the industrial, commercial and farm ing centers. Reynolds has materially strength- j ened himself with the voters of the : state, especially in the smaller com- I munities. with his "personal cou- ' tact” campaign, in which lie had visited all the principal counties and j met thousands of voters personally. | "This contact will count in June 5” j his supporters say. Reynolds is expected to be ill | Rnleigh again tonight or tomorrow, j on his way back from the north eastern part of the state of the state where he has been campaigning this week.

Tribune Raleigft Bureau, Sir. Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 26.—Fears that when the voters go to the polls in some of the counties that use the Australian ballot, that no ballots will be there for the voters to use, are being expressed in the office of the State Board of Elections here as tlie result of letters being received which indicate that election officials in the counties that operate under the Australian Ballot law do not yet fully understand that in those counties, the entire ballot, containing the ticket for national, state and county offices, must be printed in that county by tlie county board of elections. "Unless this fact is clearly under stood within the next few days, some of these counties are likely to turn up on the date of election with no bal lots,” said W. G. Maxwell, secretary of the Board. “We are still getting letters from counties under the Aus tralian ballot asking why their bal lots have not arrived, when under the law, they are required to furnish their own ballots. We have sent out let ters and have done everything we could to straighten out this matter, but still they do not seem to under stand. But it is up to them. We have no authority in the matter what ever." he said.

The Governor in a. certified letter, gave the Attorney General authority to enjoin the collection of such taxes in the State of Florida.

The Governor’s letter follows: “You are hereby authorized and di rected to institute proper proceedings and suit in the United States Su preme Court against the United States or the proper officials thereof to test the constitutionality and va lidity of that provision in the revenue law of the United States approved February 26, 1626, where said law imposes a tax upon the estates of de scendants. and allows a rebate on any such tax collected to all citizens or in all cases where au estate or inherit ance tax is paid to a state, such re bate not exceeding 80 per cent, of the amount of the Federal inheritance tax or state tax imposed; and to enjoin the collection of such taxes in the state of Florida." Tampa, Fla., May 26. — VP)—Deci ■ sion to make a test of the federal inheritance tax law in the Supreme ‘ Court of the I nit eel States is an out growth of the recent “Florida Takes Inventory Congress” at Palm Beach, Peter O'Xight, of this city, one of the foes of the federal statute, said here today. 1 Colonel O’Neal and Judge James Glenn, also of this city, will be as sociated with Attorney General John son as counsel for the state when pro ceedings are filed in Supreme Court. “The attorney general has made an investigation with reference to this matter, and lias come to the conclus ion that the inheritance tax provision . of the Federal revenue law is uncon stitutional,” explained Col.
