ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVI GOVERNOR THIS SURPLUS WILL BE SHOWN NEXT YEAR Expresses Delight With Year’s Work and Sees Continued Success For the Budget. GIVES FIGURES FOR THIS YEAR Check of Figures Shows State Kept Within In come and Maintained a Progressive Step. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, July 3.—“ There is every reason to believe that the last yeqr of the biennium beginning July 1, J!>2(l, ami ending June 30, 1027, will also stiow a balanced budget if the same spirit of co-operation is main tained throughout the new fiscal year." said Governor A. W. Mellon in commenting on the showing made by the state's finances and the balance of $1,120,308 that remained in the treasury above all expenses as the result of careful business methods and sound principles of finance as em ployed in the administration of the state's business. It was evident that the governor would have liked to expand t’je expression “balanced budget” to also include “another sug plus” but his native Scotch conserv atism prevented his doing this. How ever, it is no secret that another sur- plus is expected, even if some depart ments do show a desire to “blow it in" during the second year of the bi ennium. The governor submitted the follow ing summary of the current operation of the general fund of the State for the fiscal year ending June SOt’h, 1112(1, the first year of the State's 1 operation under the budget: 1 Total general fund revenue: Esti- ! mated, $12,425,(188; actually collect- . ed, $12,951,074. Expenditures: appropriations made made by Legislature, $12,083,(178; ‘ expenditures- out of appropriations, , $11,824,678. : Legislative appropriation exceeded i estimates $557,900. N Credit balance, general fund reve- J ime in,..e*C>*K of expenditure* sl,l l 126.398. T ’ The governor gives the following ; explanation of these figures: I “The total revenue collected from i taxes levied by the Legislature of 1925 as shown by the actual receipts f at the close of business on June 30th t 1020, was $12,051,074. The actual < expenditures for the support of the ] State government was $11,824,676, f thereby producing a credit balance of ( revenue over expenditures on June 1 30. 1026. of $1,126,308. Os this to- ( tnl credit balance, the sum of $370,- r 430 arose from the 5 per cent, redue- t tion in appropriations ordered by the ti director of the budget July 1.1 1025; tlie remainder, amounting to s $755,250 arose from the unexpended I balance of the emergency appropria- a tion, the unexpended balance of ap- a propriations provided for interest on a short term borrowings and debt ser vice end from savings made by the c various departments, institutions and d other services of the State govern- v ment, by reducing their actual ex- d penditureß under the appropriations a allotted. c “While the figures I have given t cannot be made entirely complete un- i til final reports have been received t from the departments and institutions t covering their operations, for the Inst t few days of the fiscal year, I am sure c the final figures will not be. materially d different. A complete statement will I be made about July 15th. e “I am very much gratified at the s result of the first fiscal year's op * orations of the State government un- 1 der the executive budget system and j] the various measures supplementing ] it, enacted by tile last legislature. We have not only balanced the budget B . but we have a considerable balance ‘ to start the second year of the bi- f ennium. And it must be kept in 1 mind that this next biennium, com- I prising two fiscal years, is the period ] for the general assembly of , 1925 levied taxes and made appro priations for the support of the " State government. “The successful operation of these t measures ought to be most gratifying c to the members of the, general as- j sembly and the public in general.” Wherein Men Are Informed on 1 What Subjects They Prevaricate.

Raleigh, July 3. —In spite of the record cotton production last year and the low prices and the heavy carry-over resulting therefrom, the latest government report indicates a 1.0 percent increase in acreage over last year, with a average condition of 75.4 percent of a full crop, ac cording to the special cotton crop report for North Carolina compiled by the North Carolina and United States Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, and release by the State Department of Agriculture. Based on ’tne ISflrpounds average yield for the past five years, there is an even chance of making 14,900,000 bales this year. The normal consumption I is reckoned at 14,900,000 bales. Based on over 50,000 acres .being cultivated by the Crop Reporting Service reporters and several sources of additional data, the North Caro lina crop averages 63 percent of a full crop condition which is 14 per cent less than that reported a year ago and 12 percent less than the five year average. The stand is esti mated at 75 per cent and the first bloom will appear on nil average date of July 12. This means 8 days later blooming and 5 percent poorer stands than last year at this time. If the yield is equal to the five years average of 250 pounds of lint per acre, this year’s crop will again make over a million bales. It is physically impossible to fore cast at this date what the final pro duction will be. There are too many varying factors, like weather, insect damage, labor, etc., that cannot be anticipated. North Carolina’s 63 per cent condition is the third lowes) of the twenty states of the Union grow ing cotton. The worse conditions are to be found near the South Carolina border, extending up through Cum berland County. Replanting has oc curred in this area, making the crop distinctly vnriable in size and de gree of growth. Blooms have been extremely rare thus far. The bad stands are being overcome by the good germination from the late plantings. Cultivation has been good, due to the long period of drought. The plant root systems developed deep into the ground, which will be a decided advantage if dry weatner follows the recent good seasons. Re ports were received of damage to the lately germinated seed, which ap pear to be dying out without cause. Upon expert investigation, it was found that the soil moisture during the dry period was bringing the solvable fertilizer like nitrate of soda to the top of the soil, leaving a concentrated alkali too strong for the tender plants to withstand. The rains corrected this condition by carrying it baek into the soil. Considerable criticism has been ex pressed by those interested in cotton production against the publishing of crop reports like this one. The De partment of Agriculture renlizes that unless it publishes unbiased informa tion of this kind that the farmers will be deprived of such information while the cotton trade will continue to nse their privately collected in formation to a greater advantage than If the government reports were not published. Bsides this, the of ficial reports offer a stabilising agency which deprives the private re ports from having undue influence on the prices. ' Stats Gets New Trial. (By International News Service) Atlanta, Ga., July 3.—For the first time in Georgia’s history the State has been granted a new trial.

Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. July 3.—“ Here I am, warden, lock me up.” These were the last words spoken by Herman Banks, of Asheville, be fore he entered the State Drison here to start serving a term of from four to eight years for having been n member of the mob that searched thr Buncombe couuty jail in search of Alvin Mansel, before Mansel’s tria' and conviction for rane. Mansel is now in the death house, of the orison, awntitrg auction Md.ean on an appeal for commutation of his. sentence to death in the electric' chair. Banks came to the orison unac companied by any officer, having driv en here in his car from Asheville. His brother came with him to drive his car back. Banks’ last' act before leaving his. family fras to take bis mother and brother to a picture show and his tive-.vear-old daughter for an automobile ride afterwards. He left a twelve days old son at home, who wi'.l be four years old before lie ever will see his father. “It is an unpleasant situation for me,” said Banks who looks upon his conviction and sentence largely as a matter of circumstance of’ which he was the victim. “However I am go ing to make the best of it.” North Carolina, however, has learned a lesson from the situation, said Banks in discussing the indict ment and speedy conviction of fifteen alleged mob members. Banks appealed his case to the State Supreme Court, but his appeal' was overruled. He maintains that he was merely an on looker rather than an active memb»r of the mob that stormed the court house. He made the mistake, he says, of allowing himself to become a member of the committee that ex amined the jail when the jailor sought to prove to the mob that Alvin Man sel was not in the jail at that time.
