With leaden skies bearing
continual menace of a clown

the Democratic primaries to
tiay in this city. The folks
just weren't turning out, and
it looked as though the vote
throughout the day would
fall far below the total hoped
for,
A surprise was in store ,for the
voters who braved the elements
and went to the polls regardles*
of the prospect of a wetting. This
wan In the Introduction of ballot*
on the question of annexation of
Camden County to Pasquotank.
There had been no public an
nouncement that a iiexatlon would
Mb voted on in thk County, though
it had been announced weeks ago
that Camden voters would express
their sentl?ent on the question in
their primaries today.
Asked about the annexation bal
lots. Chairman C. A. Cooke, of the
Pasquotank County Board of Elec
tions. stated that the board had
asked sometime ago that tickets
for It be printed, and that if a
representative of the press had
asked him about It, he would glad
ly have given Information to tt^at
effect. He said he did not feel
called upon to seek newspaper
lafbliclty.
?JPuntll today, there had been no
?Itet that annexation would be an

was concerned, and there are
those who are Inclined to wonder
somewhat over the element of se

disapproval of the proposed mer

The outstanding fact which de

Washington, June 5. ? Herbert
i Hoover has been asked to become
(czar of the textile Industry after
.the fashion of Will Hays in the
motion picture industry and Judge
Landls in baseball. But Mr. Hoov
er prefers to remain as Secretary
of Commerce. Last year there
was talk of making him caar of
"the radio industry. Indeed, sev
eral of the big industries who feel
I that the Landls and Hays Idea was
i a successful one, naturally look to
Washington tor some ona of na
tional prestige who will appeal to
their own members in the ironing
out of Internal difficulties.
What the textile Industry wants
is utandardliatlon in production
marketing and distributing meth
oda to prevent over stocks and
rnlnous competition. Represen
tatives of the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association have
Just been meeting here discussing
with Mr. Hoover a plan for the
setting up of a research and In
formation bureau for the cotton
textile Industry. Mr. Hoover ex
pressed his svmpathy with the
plan and will give the advice of
his department as much as possi
ble toward making It a success.
The Secretary pointed out that his
I participation could be of an ad
I vlsory nature only because the In
? Btitution was to be private In
character. Details of the plan
! have not boen decided upon and
will not be until Representatives
of the New England cotton man
ufacturers meet In a Joint confer
ence iu New York on June 10 with
the group which has been In con
ference here.
The incident la Indicative of a
recent tendency among business
men of the country to consult the
Department of Commerce and
particularly the Secretary himself.
ot no time in recent
years has one man had as much
Influence with Intastry as has Mr
Hoover. His views are not always
accepted. In fact there are many
who differ sharply but the con
census Is that he has endeavored
to bring about higher standard*
in the business world and has
i sought to bring the government
Into helpful relationship with
business. Indeed, the Department
j of Commerce Is now one of the
largest departments In the Oov
[ ernment. It has some bureaus and
.divisions which are whole depart
! ments la themselves,
i Mr. Hoover has demonstrated
that the Department of Commerce
lean become a vital link between
i business snd government. It has
i gone beyond the dreams of those
| who sponsored the Idea before
I Congress less than a generation
ago. Although the second last of
the departments to be created It
has passed virtually all of the oth
ers In point of contact with the
outside world. Last year It is es
timated that more than two mil
lion Inquiries from business men
were answered by the department.

GOOD PROSPECT
OF NEW TAX CUT

More Optimistic Thau
Smoot or Million About

CORPORATIONS NEXT i

Consideration in Tax (Hits
Heretofore, and Deserve
Relief, Simmon* Thinks
By DAVID LAWKKN4 K
iCMiimi. IMl fc? i*t AlitM)
Washington. June 5. ? The Am- j
erlcnti people may confidently ex
pect n reduction of taaen on t hi* j
incomes earned during the ralen- I
dar year 1927 and payable iu !
March, 1928, assuming that hUAt- |
ness conditions in the next 1M .
months show no serious slump.
This Im the concensus of opin
ion Klven the writer after Inter
viewing Secretary Mellon and
Senator Smoot of l?Uh and Sim
mons of North Carolina, tin* Re
publican and Democratic leader*
of the finance committee of the
Senate.
*11 three were agreed that bus
iness conditioiiM alone could cause
a change and that if things con
tinued as they are today the n?-\i
tax cut could safely be made not
later than March. 1928.
Mr. SlmnioiiM felt' that the tax
reduction might possibly come
sooner but his optimism was not
reflected at the Treasury Depart
ment or by Senator Smoot. The
North Carolina Senator signifi
cantly pointed to the corporation I
ta*ea as being most likely to bene- i
flt in the next cut for he declared
the corporations had had relative
ly little relief since the war.
Mr. Mellon feels that it is really |
too early to forecast Just what
rates can lx> revised and lie points .
out that a careful analysis is nee- 1
essary of the next 12 mouths of
lax receipts. While there will be
a surplus of more than $300. 000.- .
000 In the fiscal year ending on
the 30th of thia month, he thinks. ;
and Senator Simmon* is inclined
tv agree with him. that theru
must be sharp pruning of expen
ditures in order to escape a deficit
or to make aure of a slight sur
plus In the fiscal year ending In
June, 1927.
But that another tax cut Is com
ing and can reasonably be expect- 1
ed before the next President la I
election seems to be assured. The
general belief now Is that l*i ??wi
den t Coolldge's indication a few
days ago that a tax cut was not
Immediate was not Intended by
any means, to forecluae the possi
bility within the next two years, i
The new surplus will be fully ex- |
plained by the President on June
22nd in his speech before the bus
iness organization of the Govern
ment. It will be pointed out that
this year's surplus takes la tax re
ceipts collected for nearly nine
months under the old revenue law
1 before certain Interest taxes were
reduced. Also the rapid rise in
Imports as well as the general out
pouring of funds that had* been
held In tax exempts for several
years had much to do with the ex
traordinary Income from taxes ev

, demonstrating the creative and

Mayor Wiggina, who Ih madkifg
of the Edvnton club, wired -tffrl
Ahoakle was to hold u baiiljtt

roscntatlvea from the Eddpfatj
club planned to attend. He ia|M
that he #be advlaed whether ?Suf
folk would come Into the IsigM:
In order that he might be better
prepared to present the oltugUftU
to the Ahoskle club. <
Through the fact that Ahae|f$P
already bait an organized lepra,
and la playing frequent gama#. It
Is felt bymembera of the Mfag*
bt'th City liaaeball Association
that a little delay In tenderldgln
Invitation to that town to jeflll
the league ahould not prove .par
ticularly bothersome. This
Is neceaaltated by the waiting tp4H
1 occasioned by the uncertainty as
to Suffolk's action.
In general, the aasoclatlon hero
Is inclined to prefer Suffolk, .to
Ahoakle, ttiough this preference
la distinctly Impersonal, being-ac
tuated by the greater nearness'Of
Suffolk, and by the ImpraayIft
that, with Virginia and North
Carolina teams competing for tfi
premgey in the league, Interest ti?
bane ball should be heightened mg;*
rerlnlly.
