Pas sage by the Senate yesterday of the second deficiency bill which carries funds for prohibition enforcement, public buildings, and other functions and projects of the government re moved practically the last obstacles to the leaders’ plans for adjournment at 3p. m. tomorrow.

C„ July 2.—UP)—Dem ocratic voters tomorrow, in nearly half the counties of the State, will .nominate their candidates for various State, county, and township offices. The votes tomorrow will be cast for the high men in races where the fail ure of any candidate, in the June 5 primary, to receive a majority made necessary this second primary. The campaign prior to June 5 ap peared to be issue-less, spiritless, and almost without interest—but a snr ffifbuig off-year vote was cast, the 'cWdroiltPd yotc for Overman and Rey nolds almost equaling the number of ballots cast iu the gubernatorial pri -W J So that this second primary, in which yttle interest hns so far been ’ manifested, may also show more in ] terest than has been apparent on the surface. Interest, however, appears ' to be largely confined to districts or counties in which nominations are to be made. Five State officials— two Superior * court judges and five solicitors—are i to be nominated. In addition, there are run-off races in the seventh, six -1 teenth, and eighteenth senatorial dis tricts, and various contests for the house. There are in addition a num ber of contests for other county offices 1 and for township offices. The contestants for Superior Court , judge are IV. C. Harris and Thomas H. Calvert, both of Raleigh, in the fifth district and Walter H. Moore, of Sylya, and James D. Mallonee. of Murphy, in the twentieth. Judge Calvert is the incumbent in the fifth. In the twentieth, there is a vacancy. Judge T. D. Bryson's nomination hav ing become effective yesterday, and j the Governor not yet having appoint-1 ed a pian to fill out his unexpired | term. It is generally assumed that tomorrow’s successful aspirant will be named by the Executive, although Mr. McLean has not committed him self. The candidates for solicitor are: D. M. Clark and Jesse H. Davis, the latter being the incumbent, in the fifth: James A. Power, incumbent, I and F. E. Wallace, in the sixth; and L. Spurgeon Spuriin and Sam Ervin, Jr., in the sixteenth. No Republican nominees must stand in second primaries, so far as has bedn ascertained by the State Board of Elections and Henry M.

C., FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1926 fiPPROVE PUNS TO MTKE STIIt THMGNOra Local Citizens and Organ izations Give Their Ap proval to Plans Outlined; For Carolinians Inc. j meetin(Theld HERE THURSDAY I 'Purpose of the Organiza tion Explained at Meet ing.—Would Advertise Advantages of the State. Carolinians' Incorporated, a state wide organization for the advertising I and exploitation of the resources and advantages of North Carol'na and lid cities to the world, was Thursday night endorsed by the directors of tlfc j Concord Chamber of Commerce and representatives of the Concord Rotay.v Club, the Concord Kiwnnis Club, and the Merchants Association of the city, at a meeting held iu the private dining room of Hotel Concord. The local endorsement followed an ex planation of the purposes of the or ganization by Clarence Kuester, sec retary of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and C. C. Kirkpatrick, formerly secretary of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce, Joe Garibaldi and Charlie Williams, both well known citizens of Charlotte, who are deeply interested in the movement. After congratulating tile people of Concord on their new hotel. Mr. Kuester. first speaker after the meet ing was called to order by George W. Patterson, chairman of the board of . directors of the Chamber of Com merce, said: , “Since 1900 North Carolinians have ! thought about doing something to pro , mote North Carolina in a national way. We have learned that for , twenty cents per capita we can pro , mote the interests of the entire state and qf the individual cities of the state. In the past there has been scarcely any money spent in advertis ing our State. What we need and what we are working for is' a greater optimism by the people. With the , Improvement this fall of the textile industry, the South Atlantic Start's will be in for five years of the greats est prosperity they have ever known. Is it not proper that North Carolinians band together and advertise their mar velous assets to the outs’de world?” Mr. Kuester then spoke of the his tory of the organization. They have had two meetings, he said, and at the last one they selected an organization committee composed of Fred N. Tate, chairman. High Point: G. W. Mount castle, Lexington, L, H. Hole. Jr., of Greensboro, Walter P. Build, Durham, and Clarence Kuester, Charlotte. Greensboro was selected as temporary headquarters. After the money has been raised by the various cities who join in the organization there will be a convention, and a delegate will ed allowed at the convention for every $500.00 raised by a city. There will be 12 directors, not more than one of whom may come from a single city. C. C. Kirkpatrick, native North Carolinian, who will have charge of the raising of the funds for Carolin ians. Incorporated, was then introduc ed by Mr. Kuester. In beginning his talk, he said: “I am here more as a North Carolinian than anything else. I have been thoroughly sold to the idea that we have the best state in the union, and if local committees through out the State were as eonv ; uce,l as I on the great future in store for North Carolina we would have no trouble iu. raising the necessary funds for ihp organization. The eastern, western and the Pieedmont sections of the State should become unified and work together toward a common end. Nine ty per cent, of every doll n r we raise will go into advertising—in newspa pers scattered over the country, in national magazines, and In other plac es where the greatest number of the right kind of people may be attracted. All of this money will be placed in places where there is accumulated wealth and where desirable people may be interested.” Mr. Kirkpatrick then spoke of the large amount of farm lands, of llie water power in this state that are go ing to waste, but which could be util ized to great effect. In conclusion he cited a number of towns In the state which have agreed to raise their quota for Carolinians Incorporated. . “We have the greatest state in the world,” said Joe Garibaldi, who fol lowed Mr. Kirkpatrick, “but we are helpless without the aid of printers’ ink. “Concord can be built just as big as the people who are in it.” he continued. “The moneyed interests of the world may be brought to Ncrth Carolina if we will only band together anad let them konw whn: wonderful resources we have. Our troubl- has been that it hns been *oo easy for us to make a living. If the people of the south will get together in a for ward movement, I venture to say that the 'per capita wealth of the South will be greater than that if .the East within a few years.” In a few choice words, Charlie Williams urged the people to see the new v'sion and to meet it with new enthusiasm. He said: “Now is the tlmme for the people of North Carolina to make up to the fact that they -nhould advertise on a conservative basis. Wonderful strides may be accomplished for Concord and i for the state at large through Caro ' '.beta*'ft' itus/i ’■ .t'vVi.

Quiet in Early Trading With Even ing I'p of Accounts Prior to Gov ernment Forecast. New York. July 2.—OP)—Tlie cot ton market was quiet ill today’s early trading and business in evidence was ■ attributed almost entirely to further . evening up on accounts in prepara tion for the government crop report. Opinions as to the showing of the official crop figures may hnve been confused to some extent by publica tion of another private report esti mating Pile condition only 72.6 per cent, and the indicated yield 14.870,- 000 bales, or considerably below the average of figures previously issued.

MAYOR OF ARIZONA TOWN TALKS ABOUT MPHERSON MATTER Mayor Boubion, of Agua Prieta, Tells of Aiding j Aimee Semple McPher son on Way to Douglas.

July 2.—With a surplus understood to amount to approximate ly $1,126,000 and some odd dollars, and tax collections by the State de partment of revenue totaling sll,- 207.073.07, with an additional sl,- 533,500 coming in from other sources, the Old Nort'ii State ought to pat it self on its back and wear a smile that won't come off because of its prosperity—and McLean economy. In addition there is the income of the highway department from automobile license sales and the gasoline tax which will be in the neighborhood of SI2,6OO.tXH>, if not more, though the exact figures hare not as ■ yet been tabulated. This gives a total of ap proximately $25,340,000 which the people of the state have paid into the state treasury for the administration | and operation pf ail departments, in | eluding the State highway department, an item not to be wheezed at. But if the amount of taxes paid by a state is any index to its pros perity, it is necessary to take a look at the taxes that have been collected by the United States collector of in ternal revenue in Raleigh. Gilliam Grissom. From July 1, 1025. to June 31, 1026, the State of North Carolina paid into the treasury of the United States tfie staggering sum of $102.250,000. Os this amount, $170,- 000,000 was derived from the tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products, $18,000,000 from the federal income tax. and the sum of $4,000,000 from miscellaneous sources. Add the to tal taxes paid to the state and the total tax paid to the federal govern ment. and we get the astounding total of $213,500.00 which the people of North Carolina paid out in taxes. Something to think about, itsn’t it? In fact. North Carolina pays the fifth largest sum into the federal treasury of all the 40 states, only New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan exceeding it in the amount of tax paid. Os course, the biggest item in the federal tax collections from this state is t'.ie tobacco tax. which this year was $170,000,000. And of this amount it is estimated that SIOO,- (XX),000 is paid by the tobacco fac tories in Winston-Salem alone. It is not generally known that the to bacco tax paid by Winston-Salem in terests amounts to approximately $250,000 a day, and flint two train loads of tobacco products, of about 60 cars each, leave Winston-Salem every 24 hours. And the local federal revenue officials say that a large number of tobacco factories in the state are now operating on a basis of 24 hours u day. It must be re membered, however, that in reality tliis tremendous tobacco tax is paid by the purchasers of the tobacco in all parts of the world, and that the tax is merely collected, and not paid in the full meaning of the term, in North Carolina. So all -in all, it cannot be said of the Old North State that “she isn’t what she used to be.” But it can be said that as far as prosperity is concerned, people 'haven’t "seen noth ~ ' —— THE TRIBUNE!
