Co-Op Receivership Fees
Now Total Over $200,000

Amount Does Net Include Fees
Paid Receivers and Attorneys
of Subsidiaries; Seme Doubt
As to New Association.
?
Raleigh. April 8.?With final al
lowance not yet made to the receiv
ers, allowances to receivers and at
torneys for the Tri-State Tobacco
Growers' Cooperative Association,
which has been in the hands of re-1
ceivers since June, 1926, were yester
day increased to over $200,000 by an
order signed by Judge I. M. Meekins
and. filed yesterday in the United
States District Court The order fol
lows an agreement by the three Fed
eral judges in whose districts the as
sociation held property.
The sum does not include large
sums which were allowed to the re
ceivers for the five subsidiary ware
housing corporations and their at
torneys.
The receivers recently distributed'
$612,736.50 to grower members and
most of these checks have been
cashed, but it is anticipated that per
haps $100,000 of the distribution will
present some difficulty because of
the deaths of members, the failure
of joint beneficiaries to agree upon
a division of the distribution and
because of litigation of one kind or
another.
The order filed yesterday by Judge
Meekins contained no allowances for
the receivers. M. L. Corey, who has
already been paid a total of nearly
$85,000 has petitioned for more, but
it is not yet definitely determined
whether or not there will be funds
on hand to pay the receivers more.
They are now winding up their af
fairs and have arranged to turn over
statistical records to the North Caro
lina State College.
In the mean time there is some
doubt as to whether the new tobacco
cooperative now in progress of organ
ization will have a sufficient mem
bership with which to function in
1931. J. R. Page, chairman of the
organization committee, will go to
Washington Monday for a confer
ence with James C. Stone, chairman
of the Federal Farm Board and after
that conference will call a meeting
of the organization committee to de
termine whether or not the organiza
tion will become effective thia year.
The decision must be made before
May 1.
If continued) until June of this
year, the receivership will have last
ed five years.
The attorneys allowed additional
fees today were Henry Bowden of
Norfolk, Va., $2,500; Landon Lowry
of Bedford City, Va., $2,000; Aubrey
E. Strode of Lynchburg, Va^$10,000,
and Arthur R. Young of Chester, S.
C., $o,500.
Bowden previously had been allow
ed $10,500 for a total of $13,000 for
the duration of the receivership;
Lowry, $5,000- for a total of $7,500;
Strode, $15,000 for a total of $25,00(1,
and Young, $2,000, for a total of
$7,500.
This totaled $48,000 for the four
attorneys and with the $12,500 pre
viously granted W. B. Jones of Ral
eigh, makes $60,500 for five attor
neys. The late Wiley M. Person of
Louisburg, N. C., P. W. Glidewell of
Reidsville, N. C., and E. W. Buford
of Lawrenceville, Va., were paid
$5,000 for their connection with the
receivership. This brought the total
amount paid these attorneys to $75.
500 during the receivership. The
last named unsuccessfully went to
the courts for additional fees of
$25,000 each.
M. L. Corey of Richmond, Va.,
one of the three receivers, has been
paid at the rate of $1,000 a month
plus $5,000 a year and will receive
lasts until June. The two other re
ceivers, James H. Pou of Raleigh,
$35,000 from the receivership if it
have been paid at the rate of" $5,000
a year and will have received $25,000
apiece by June.
LISTING COOPERATIVE
COTTON FOR TAXES
*. The month of April is tax-listing
time. Under the law, as interpreted
by the Attorney-General, the Cotton
Association is. not liable for taxes on
Cooperative cotton. The individual
member, however, who has cotton in
the Association, is liable for taxes on
his equity in the cation.
If cotton is appraised at 10 cents
per pound and the jHember has been
advanced 9 cants per pound on it, he
of course would, have an equity of 1
cent, or probably $&60 per bale, that
would bo subject to taxation.
U cotton is only being appraised at
9 cents per pound by the tax assessors
and the member has already ; drawn
9 cants per pound against it, be of
course would not be rnqpdsed to lisf
any equity in the cotton.

"They seem not to have realized, in

Deputy Sheriff Harris Escapes
ste&t
and The Stillf Distiller is Re
leased Under $1,000 Bond.
G?enville,North Carolina, April 6?
Deputy Sheriff Herbert Harris was
fired upon by a whiskey distiller dur
ing a raid by county officers in the
Winterville community Saturday af
ternoon, it became known today. The
officer escaped without a scratch and
the rum-maker was captured after a
sprinting contest of several hundred
yards. ?
The distiller, Skilton Dennis, was
brought to Greenville and lodged in.
jail on charges of assault with a
deadly weapon and . manufacturing
whiskey. He was released yesterday
under bond of $1,000. He will Be
given preliminary bearing in the
regular weekly session of county
court tomorrow.
In addition to the capture of the
operator, the officers also destroyed
a steam distilling plant, several
hundred gallons of beer and about
two gallons of whiskey.
The plant was in full operation
when the officers arrived. Dennis
was said to have beep devoting his
attention to pouring of the beverage
when Officer Harris ordered "hands
up." Instead of obeying the command,
the distiller was said to have reached
around for his rifle, fired upon ,the
officer and fled in the direction of
home.
Although rather short-legged, Dep
uty Harris distinguished himself as a
sprinter and captured his prey before
he conld make a getaway.
This was the first time; county of
ficers have been fired on by members
of the illicit whiskey traffic in some
time, and the subject was a matter of
considerable discussion and specula
tion along the streets today.
$23,800 Uncle Samls
Split In Prize Contest \
Of Reynolds l*ob. CoJ
Uncle Sam has profited by about
$23,800 in the $60,000 prize contest
being conducted by R. J. EeyaeWsi
Tobacco Cimpany, makers of Camel I
cigarettes, it waa announced today.
Demon statisticians estimated that
each of a million entries cost the
sender a two-cent stamp, or $20,000,1
and that the 20,000 special delivery
and 10,000 registered letters brought
in the govement an additional $8,806.
If the mail had been delivered to
Winston-Salem, N. C. contest head
quarters by carriers qarrying their
normal loads, approximateiy 2,600 let
ter carriers would have been required.
In addition there were three truck
loads of bulky exhibits, each of which
carried additional postage but postage
varied so as to defy tabulation.
The approximately million contest-1
ants used 13 tons of paper. If the
letters were stacked one on the other,
they would make a column 3.15 miles
high. In opening the letters, number
ing letter and envelope together, the
judge's staff used) 8,000,000 inches of
stapling wire. After exhausting the
Winston-Salem supply and the Ncrth
Carolina supply, the staff was forced
to send direct to the manufacturer in
New York for more wire.
It was further estimated that one
man, working at top speed to open,
staple, and number the entries, would
be at work two years and threel
months if he tackled the job single-1
handed.
Because of the scrupulous care that
is being exercised in studying the en
tries it will be several weeks before
any announcement of the prize-win
ners can be made.
At no time during the judging will
the names and( address of contestants
be known to, the judges, Charles Dana
Gibson,* Ray Long and Roy Howard.
All marks of identification are deleted
before the entries are submitted to
the judges.

Appropriations Committee Sends
Measure To Floor; Holmes At
tempts to Strike Out Equal

Raleigh, April 8.?Without recon
sideration of contested sections, the
joint appropriations committee re
ported Wednesday morning the ap
propriation bill carrying some $830,
000 more annual expenses than were
provided in the original budget bill
on which it is based.
While there was no contest at the
Tuesday night meeting, when the bill
was given final approval, on the ap
propriations to State institutions,
which threatened last week to dis
rupt the joint committee, it is ex
pected that House Chairman R. L.
Harris will call a meeting of the
House members who stand for small
er expenditures and seek to repu
diate the joint appropriations bill by
filing a minority report.
Representative Holmes, of Pitt,
created a stir when he proposed to
strike out the $6,500,000 equalizing
fund and substitute a new provision
for a ?19,000,000 fund for the public
schools. He and Mrs. McKee insisted
that the MacLean law was a law,
and that it was the committee's duty
to provide for it

Senators Jn The Doubtful Class

' Tax on Luxuries.
Raleigh, April 8.?The clash of
anna that struck from the House re
venue bill the Day general sales tax
by, a vote of 36 to 8 Tuesday after
noon, swelled .Wednesday into the
turmoil; of a bitter . contest. lines
were drawn close as the battle raged
in the Senate over the Hinsdale se
lected commodity or "luxury" tax. f
The issue, whether the State should
adopt a luxury, more generally called
the "nuisance" tax, to relieve ad
valorem, taxes of support of the six
months schools, pushed itself promi
nently to the front. The outcome
rests uncertainly by the very nar
rowest margin. ?.
Straw polls about the Capitol pre
dict the defeat of the Hinsdale lux
ury tax by three to one votes.
Tabulation place 25 Senators against
the tax, 22 for and three doubtful.
How They May Vote.
Observers of the contest list the
following Senators opposed to the lux
ury or nuisance tax: Bennett, Bern
ard, Burrus, Campbell, Clement, Dun
lap, Folger, Gower, Grant, Gravely,
Grier, Harmon, Hatchett, Haywood,
Hendren, Horton, Johnson, of Moore;
Jones, Lawrence, McSwain, Nixon,
Powell, Rankin, Urastead, Whedbee
and Williams.
Senators who are expected to vote
for the Hinsdale proposal are: Bag

Gwyn, Hardy, Hinsdale, Johnson, of
Duplin, Lindsey, Lovfll, Lynch, Mc

Powell, Uzzell, Ward, of Beaufort;

Political Issue.
If the doubtful votes are swung in
, favor of the tax, the vote will be a
tie, followers of the contest reason.
[In this ca3e, Senator Blount, chair
I man of the committee, a declared ad
vocate of the sales tax, will have the
opportunity of voting twice. His bal
lot to break the tie will, if a tie re
sults, write the luxury tax into the
revenue bill reported by the commit
tee. .
The two Republican members of

the sales tax an issue in 1932 if one

constitutional officers that they ac
cept a simialr salary reduction. The
Constitution prevents reductions in
the salaries of the Governor, Treas
urer, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, Audiaor and State Superin

The Lieutenant Governor was elim
inated from the recommendation
since he has put in considerable
legislative overtime and his salary
is only $700.
Reccommendations to cut out the

Supreme Court and the reduction of
traveling expenses of Superior Court
judges from $1, 500 to $750 were also
included.

MARCH PRODUCTION OF
CHEVROLET MOTOR CO.
79,603 CARS AND TRUCKS
March production of the Chevrolet
Motor Company was 79,603 cars and
trucks and brings the number of new
1931 models built up to April 1st to
in excess of 326,000 units, W. S.
Knudsen, president and general man
ager announced today.
March output was larger than in
any month since May, 1930, and final
figures for Marsh exceed preliminary
reports by more than 4,000 units.
The March performance represents
a gain of better 'Ijhan 18, per cent
ovef February production of 67,000
units, and represents an increase of
1,000 units}q^er the number originally
scheduled for March production.
While production of the company is
being conservatively increased in line
with the upturn of the sales chart,
registration figures continue to show
that Chevrolet is maintaining leader
ship! as the fastest-selling automobflev*1.
Iln December Chevrolet lei all other
maizes of passenger cars in domestic
registrations by 2,000 units, in Jan
uary by 4,000 units, and the 43 states
alrejwly. reported for February show
maintenance of that leadership by a
comfortable margin.
