Johnston Gets
Biggest Increase
Is Apportioned $17,480.20,
the Largest Increase Of
Any of the Ninety Coun
ties Sharing In the School
Equalizing Fund
RAiLEIGH, June 7.—Johnston
county received the largest in
crease—$17,480.20—of any of the
ninety counties that shared in the
$3,250,000 school equalizing fund, i
the apportionments of which were j
announced Monday by Leroy Mar- i
tin, Secretary of the State Board \
of Equalization.
As compared with the figures
for 1927-1928, there are few \
changes in the amounts as reeeiv- |
ed by the participating counties in!
the 1928-1929 distributions. Rob-.
eson county, which last year re- ;
ceived the largest amount from the j
fund, got aibout $10,000 less from;
it this year.
With the school costs for the
coming year increasing by some
over a half million dollars, the
board in order to take care of this
increased cost had to boost the
property valuations in the ninety
counties by $133,000,000. The total
figures, as computed by the State
Department of Public Instruction,
shows that the school cost for the
coming year will be $532,701.57
over that of last year. For the en
tire one hundred counties, the
school cost increased $708,484.55
over the total cost for last year. |
Apportionments for the adjacent j
counties for the coming year fol
low: Cumberland, $50,802; Frank-J
lin, $61,967.29; Harnett, $67,914.- |

And they have sweetly called him
To yonder shining shore.*

Kansas City Ready
For Big Conclave
Convention Hall Built in 1900
For Democratic Conven
tion Will Be Scene of Re
publican Political Show
" rittien Especially iForfl'hc Herald
By ROBERT FUM.FR.
KANSAS CITY, June 7.—The
whole town’s talking about the
coming Republican National Con
vention, whidh meets here June 12.
And the town is not merely talk
ing—it is making most thorough
preparations for the event. These j
preparations have been going on
continuously since December 7,
1927, when the word was flashed
ihroug'h the country that Kansas
City had been chosen as the site
)f the Republican Convention.
There will be adequate accommo
lations for every one of the dele
gates, alternates and visitors. As
a wag put it: “There even will
>e room for the elephant’s trunk.”
Kansas City was chosen as the
!ite of the convention after the
nost hotly staged battle to pick
he convention city ever fought.
The convention will be held at
he Convention Hall of Kansas
!ity, which was built in 1900 for
he Democratic Convention of that
■ear, when the Democrats nomi
jated the late William Jennings
3ryan.
For a quarter of a century Con
■cntion Hall has been the scene of
oncerts, athletic contests and in
lustrial exhibits.
Now again shall resound in its
mils the great tumult of a na
ional convention! Again history
hall be made within its confines! I
V.nd truly, this year’s convention
vromises to be a very exciting one,
is recent developments in the po
itical situation indicate.
The Convention Hall has room
’or over 18,000 persons—there is
room on the arena floor for all
lelegates and alternates. The build
ng occupies a quarter of a block
>n 13th street and Central Ave
me, close to the downtown district
>f Kansas City.
Here the Republican presidential
md vice-presidential candidates
.vill be chosen, and the platform of
;he party will be adopted.
Maine’s delegation of 15 will oc
*upy the seats in the front row in
he center of the hall.
On its left will be the big Penns
ylvania delegation, on the right the
!9 delegates from California, and
;o the rear those from Massachu
setts.
Behind Massachusetts will be the
Jelegations from four other New
England states—New Hampshire.
Vermont, Rhode Island and Con
necticut, with New York’s 90 rep
resentatives, the largest unit in the
convention, grouped near the cen
ter of the auditorium.
Wihen Kansas City was chosen
in December, it was decided to
change the usual 1,109 delegates to
1,089 delegates. This latter num
ber of delegates will attend the
sessions starting June 12 at Con
vention Hall.
The keynoter, or first speaker,
at the convention will be Simeon
D. Fess, United States Senator.
He is an aggressive, earnest speak
er who has a sincere, forceful
method of delivery. He is an his
torian and a staunch Administra
tion adherent.
william ivi. liutier is chairman
of the Committee on Arrangements
and chairman of the National Com- j
mittee.
There will 'be a nation-wide hook
up of radio stations to bring the
news of the convention to every
corner of the country. Not only
will the speeches and tabulations
of votes be heard but also the
cheers, demonstrations and noise
of spontaneous parades taking
place all over the convention floor.
There 'will be microphones placed
all over the floor and balconies.
Elaborate preparations are being
made to make this radio hook-up
one of the most thorough ever
made in the history of radio.
Length and time of the sessions
in Kansas City are still very much
in doubt, which makes the task
of the radio interests very diffi
cult. However, radio listeners will
be “in on” every phase of the con
vention.

Proceedings Of
Recorder’s Court
J udj;e Aycock Lectures
Young Defendant Upon
Folly of Youthful Mar
riages; Violator Suspended
Sentences Must Go to the
Roads
Judge W. P. Aycock in Record
er’s court here Tuesday took oc
casion to express his opinion of
boys and girls getting married,
when the duty devolved upon him j
of pronouncing sentence upon Will I
Wiggs, young eighteen-year-old
husiband, who was in court charg- 1
ed with abandonment, non-support j
and assault of his young wife. !
Judge Aycock stated that this
ease was the result of too much ;
automobile together with too much !
liquor. He described the defendant j
as a boy who ought to be under j
the supervision of his father, who I
ought to use a rod instead of con
doning him in his act. The plain
tiff he characterized as yet an in
fant herself and at the same time i
the mother of an infant, one not '
much more dependent and respon- ,
sible than the other. After deliv
ering a lecture Judge Aycock sen
tenced the defendant to twelve
months on the roads, the sentence
being suspended on condition that
he pay into the court $3.50 per
week for the support of his wife
and baby, and upon further con
dition that he be a good and law
abiding citizen during the next j
two years. For the faithful per- I
forma nee of the sentence the de- j
fendant was required to give bond •
in the sum of $300.
Other cases tried in Recorder’s j
court this week include the fol- I
lowing: State vs. Arthur Roby j
Jones, white, charged with assault j
and trespass. The defendant was j
found guilty of simple assault and .
trespass, and prayer for judgment i
was continued upon the payment
of cost.

man, 21 years of age, was in the
court charged with rape. Probable
cause was found and the defendant
was bound over to Superior court i

Pou Coates, white, was found
guilty of simple assault, and pray
er for judgment was continued ,
upon the payment of the cost.
Will Phillips, white, was found
guilty of possession, and w’as fined
SI.00 and cost. However, it ap
pearing to the court from the evi
dence in this case that the defend
ant has violated the suspended
sentence as set out in a case on
January 25, the defendant will be
required to serve the sentence im
posed at that time. On January 25
Phillips was found guilty of man
ufaeturing and possession and was |
given a six months road sentence j
which was suspended upon condi- \
tion that for two years he be not |
guilty of violating the prohibition
laws. The defendant appealed to
Superior court and was placed un
der a $500 bond.

found guilty of possession an.d was j
sent to jail for 30 days and as- |
signed to work on the county roads j
and pay the cost. The jail sentence I
was suspended upon the payment '
of $10 and cost and upon condition
that the defendant does not violate ,
the prohibition law again in the
next two years. Hudson was charg
ed also with operating a car with
