Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent Superior courts in the 100 North Carolina counties disposed of 16,810 (riminal cases during the fall term of 1928 the spnnj:’ term of 1929 and 15.73- cases during the fall term of 1^20 and the spring term of 1930, ac- -ording to the biennia! report just is sued by Attorney General D. G. Brum- rni-t, whose office is requires to con- colidate this criminal in information. The- report for 1^22-28 shows that i f the 16.810 cases disposed of, 10,422 were of whites, 6321 negroes, 65 In dians and two corporations, and tliat 15,848 were males and 960< females. Of this total, 11,946 were convicted, 1,888 acquitted. 2,883 nolle pressed and 93 otherwise disposed of. The 1929-30 report shows that of the 13,- 732 cases, 9,770 cases were whites, .^,904 negroes, 56 Indians and two cor porations, ani that 14, 794 were male£> and 936 females. Of this total, 10,948 were convicted, 1,980 acquitted, 2,- 733 nolle pressed and 71 othervsdse disposed of. The report gives Moore county 52 cases for 1928-29 and 54 cases for 1929-30. The 1928-29 report shows 30 v.hites and 22 negroes; 48 males and 4 females, and the dispositions as fol lows: 38 convicted, 9 acquitted, 5 nolle pressed and none otherwise dis posed of. For 1929-30 the report shows 30 whites and 24 negroes; 54 males and no fesnales, and the disposition as follows: 40 convicted, 9 acquitted, 5 nolle pressed and none otherwise disposed of. 9 m m North Carolina’s departments, in stitutions and agencies, with few ex ceptions, are asking for maintenance appropriations for the next biennium in excess of those given by the 1929 General Assembly, in their appearance before the Advisory Budget Commis sion, which ended its hearings, last ing a week, on Monday of this week. This commission goes over and pares down requests, recommending appro priations to the next General Assem bly. Its recommendations will have “economy” as the key word, in order to meet the reduced revenues, due to the business depijession. The 28 State institutions are asking for about $6,000,000 for permanent improvements for the next two years, as compared with more than $11,000,- OOOasked and less than $2,000,000 granted in 1929. The commission prob ably will hold these recommendations down to about $500,000, and then only for emergency uses, required by fires, unsafe buildings and such emergen cies. ♦ ♦ ♦ Complete figures on votes for State officers in the recent election, gath ered by R. C. Maxwell, secretary of ihe State Board of Elections, com plete but not official, show that for United States Senator, Josiah W. Bailey received 323,824 votes and George M. Pritchard 209,990 votes, Bailey’s majority 113,834; for State Treasurer, Nathan O’Berry 330,833, and I. C .Greer 195,592, O’Berry’s majority 135,241; for Corporation Commissioners, full term, George P. Pell, 331,296, and J. T. Prevett 195,- S82, Pell’s majority 135,914; for un- oxpired term, Stanley Winborne 330,- 377, and B. C. Campbell, Winborne’s majority, 134,947. Mr. Bailey’s vote ran about 7,000 behind that of others on the Dem ocratic ticket, and Mr. Pritchard’s nearly 14,000 ahead of others on the Republican ticket, resulting in Mr. Bailey’s majority running beyond the rest of the State ticket 21,000 or 22,- 000 votes. The referendum authorizing the General Assembly to issue a second two million dollars in bonds as a fund to lend *to World War Veterans for purchase of homes or farms was carried by a good majority, while the three amendments to the Constitution, were lost, although complete refums are not yet in. i|e 4< State Republican headquarters spent almost $2,000 more than did the Oem- ccratic headquarters in the receJnt campaign, ^according to sliptements filed with the Secretary of State. Democratic Chairman 0. M. Mull re- poited that he spent for headquarters and in funds to county organizations a total of $15,812.83 and that he has a balance of $80.54 in the treasury. Republican Chairman J. S. Duncan reported that he had received $17,718- .69 in contributions, but of which $875 was borrowed on a note and that he had left $513.92, which, if applied on the note, would leave a deficit of $361;08. m * * Governor Gardner has declined to call a special session of the General A ssembly in December, as requested in a petition presented by officers of the N. C. Tax Relief Associatian, on the ground that it would interfere with preparations for the regular session in January and would result in two sessions, without adequate, or ganized preparations for either! “I have reached the conclusion that it v^ould not be wise nor in the interest of the public welfare to call the Gen- I sT’al AssemWy into extrafordinary I session in December, and therefore cannot comply with the request made in the petition,” Governor Gardner stated, after saying he had given the matter and the facts presented ser ious consideration. * Although Chairman R. A. Daught- cn does not look with favor at the proposal to increase the gasoline tax from five to six cents a gallon, he is frank to admit that he can see no other way by which the State High way Commission could take over and maintain the 45,000 miles of highways in the 100 county systems in the State, thus taking this burden from property taxes. The last General Assembly added one cent to the gasoline tax, bringing in about $2,500,000 and appropriated $500,000 additional, the $3,000,000 go ing to the counties to maintain roads and pay off' road bonds. If another cent should be added and another $500,000 allotted to the counties, the $6,000,000 would be sufficient to main tain the 45,000 miles of county roads at their present standard and at about 75 per cent of the present cost. Chair man Doughton thinks. This would enable the i State to take all tho road maintenance cost from the counties, except administra tion costs, but the proposal will meet with strenuous opposition from the nearly half a million automobile own ers, who would pay the shifted tax. * « * The State Department of Education has added $1,000,000 to the State equalizing fund, making it $7,500,- 000, in its request presented to the Advisory Budget Commission, for ap propriations for the next biennium. If this amount is recommended by the commission and appropriated by the General Assembly, it will add more than 15 per cent to the amount the State is now paying toward the operation of the schools in the 93 participating, counties. The amount was doubled by the last General As sembly, increased $1,500,000 a year from the $5,000,000 recommended by the Budget commission. PREPAID TICKET ORDERS WILL BE HANDLED BY SEABOARD Effective December 1st, The Sea board Air Line Railway will establish the handling of Prepaid Ticket Orders, which will prove a great convenience to the traveling public who desire railroad and pullman tickets be furn ished to their relatives, friends, sons, end daughters, such as students at tending school who desire to return home for the holidays and it will be possiblf; to purchase a Prepaid Or der from any Seaboard Ticket Agent and the purchaser mailing same di rect to the person to whom the tick et will be furnished or the railroad will gladly arrange to handle by tel egraph or telephone under certain conditions. This arrangement also provides for the furnishing of a limited amount of cash and arranging pullman trans portation and should prove very at tractive to the numerous people who desire tickets wired to their friends, relatives, etc. FOURTEEN AT N.
