BRIDGE FROM MOREHEAD TO BEAUFORT NOT READY Probably Will Be Septemer Before Causeway Will Be Opened to the Public. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, .Tune 16.—Although vir tually all of the concrete work has been completed on the Morehead City- Beaufort bridge and enusewny pro ject. it will probably not be ready for traffic until the first or middle of September, it was said today in l lie 'bridge division of the State Highway Commission. Two things are holding up the com pletion of the project. First, the company that is building the draw, bridge units and doing the steel work is considerably behind schedule, and second, the paving has not yet been laid on the fill between the two bridge units. And until tbis is done, the bridge units will be useless. The entire project is 2.2 miles in length, or 3,142 feet, and will link Morehead City and Beaufort. At present, it is necessary to drive some 45 miles to get from one city to the other by road, or to take n ferry across the sound. However, when this bridge project is completed, it will make it but a matter of a few minutes to get from one city to the other, instead of bourn. There are two bridge unita in the project, the bridge on the Morehead City side being 2,660 feet long, witli nil 80 foot two-lens bnscnle draw. This bridge is virtually completed, the draw being already in position nml much of the operating machinery' installed. The bridge unit on the Beaufort side is 482 feet long, with a 60 foot bascule draw. This unit is just beink-installed and much of the Steel work and machinery is yet to be installed. The fills at the approaches to the bridges on the Morehead and Beau fort sides have not been made, though the intervening fill between the bridges has been completed, but the roadway is not yet paved. Thus it is estimated that it will be nearly two months yet before the bridges are thrown open to traffic. Montgomery to Rebuild Following Fire.

Sir Walter Hotel. BY JA C. KABKERVILLE Raleigh, June 10.—Collections of , revenue by the state for the first ten | days of June indicate that all records ore going to be shattered - for the amount of revenue collected, according ;; to R. A. Doughton, commissioner of Revenue. He estimates that his depart , ment alone will collect nt least sll,- 709.520 by June 30. which combined with the approximately $1,500,000 jtaken in from other sources, such as interest on money, income from leas es on North Carolina owned railway, and so forth, will bring the total reve nue for the general fund to $13,069,- .726. The size of this estimate made bjf the Department of Revenue is sig rrfirant. since it is a well known fact that tlie department generally holds its estimates well below the actual, col lections. But tbis time the estimates are so 'near to those made by the Bud get Bureau, that indications, are that even the budget estimates may he shattered. Commissioner Doughton also states that the collections from the gasoline tax and automobile license sales will amount to at least $14,000,000. which CHARACTER YVITNESSES HEARD AT LAURINBURG Testify That Character of One Prose cutrix in Assault Case Not Good In Her Home Community.

Two Men Escape When Plane Crashes; Each Thought Other Held The Control Rocky Mount, June 0. —Stories of engineerless trains dashing down a mountainside pale . into insignificance with the experience of W. V. Clark ami Howard Crawford, fliers, who •crashed 1,500 feet to earth in a run ning wild plane a mile north- of this city on X. C. Route 40 this morning. Both fliers escaped without a scratch although the plane in which they were riding and which belonged to J. E. Bellamy, of Enfield, was badly dam aged. The propeller was smashed off arid one of the lower wings crashed. The machine landed in a newly plowed field only a short distance from the highway nnd played havoc with tele phone wires as it swooped across the highway and buried its nose in the soft field. The accident occurred, according to Clark, one of the occupants, when each man in the machine thought the other had the control stick. The re sult was that the machine swooped towards the earth with each man thinking the other occupant was guid ing it and crashed to the ground al most before they realized the true sit uation. “The machine was in such perfect NEW SERIES ON SATURDAY, JUNE 4th We Open Our 78th Series of Building and Loan Running Shares, worth SIOO at maturity, will cost you i only 25c a week.

Secretary is within SIOO,OOO of the budget esti mate, revised just last week, of $14,- 100.000. The total revenue of the State from all sources, including the gas and license tax income, is esti mated by the budget commission, will total $27,584,000. of which $13,483,- 000 will go to the General fund of the state. This represents n substantial in crease over the amount of revenue collected b.v the Department of Reve nue. An unknown factor in determining the revenue for the balance of the month will be the collections of the various license or privilege taxes known as Schedule B, according to Commissioner Doughton, since several changes were made ;ln the rates and classifications by the last general as sembly. And this fact will naturally cause some delay and slow down col lections. But in spite of this, the de onrtment expects the Schedule B col lections for June to amount tp at least $600,000. Thus indications are that the "credit balance” on hand June 30 will amount ,at least to the $1,700,000 as recently estimated by the budget bureau. . .. 11 .i -- 1 _ = PINEDO STARTS AGAIN ON HIS LONG FLIGHT Has Repaired Plane and YVill Leave Azores During the Day.

June 10.—(INS)—Indi cations today point to a substantial reduction in cotton acreage in this stnte. according to I. (>. Schaub, di rector of cooperative agricultural ex tension work at North Carolina State College here, who said that a cor responding increase in the urea de moted to food and feed crops would probably result. Only time, however, will enable his men, Schuub said, to determine the effectiveness -of tbe campaign conduct ed b.v Stnte College in the principal counties to acquaint the cotton grow ers with existing conditions and prob able acreage production in the United States as a whole during the ensuing yea r. flying position,” Clark said in dis cussing the accident, “that each of us thought the other had the control stick. I had just been out on the wings and thought Crawford was con tinuing to guide the plane, whil he in turn believed I had taken control again when I climbed back into the cockpit.” Clark stated that for some reason he had experienced n sort of premoni tion that an accident was going to occur. Something made him feel that way, he stated, before he went up, and the same thought came to him as he was out on the wings just be f9re the “pilotless plunge” took place. "We were plenty lucky all right,” was the way the fliers summed up their experience ns they worked on their plnue and sought to repair the damages after the accident. The ma chine was a Standard J1 and had been nt the local flying field for several days. The two airmen were merely "playing around" with the plane, they stated, when the mishap, the first in which either ever figured, occurred. Bellamy, otyner of the plane, indi cated that the damages caused by the accident could be speedily repaired. DR. CARROLL TO BE TRIED BEFORE 1 1 JUDGE AND JU**' .

This might well become the epitaph ■ of Pearl Mitchell, Chatham county negro, who went to his death ill the electric chair at State's prison this 1 morning. He died gamely, declaring that he had made his peace with God and the world. Rut the real reason Mitchell went i i to his death was because he was too honest to lie, even to save his life. , He denied that he had shot in self i defense, maintaining that he deliber . ately took aim and fired at the man , he killed. This indicated that the 1 killing was deliberate and to an ex i tent premeditated, with the result l that no comutation could be issued . on the grounds that the murder was . second instead of first degree. ( So Mitchell went to his death, and I smiled ns the dynamo hummed and as , the straps were adjusted. , He had tol dthe truth, had made a t clean breast of it. He was satisfied.
