hearings, lasting a week, on Mon
day of this week. This commission
goes over and pares down requests,
recommending appropriations to the

the key word, in order to meet the

' Million Dollars Added To Equaliia
tion Fund. Bank Failures Due j
To Real Estate Boom.
(By M. R. PTNNAGAN.)
Raleigh. Noy. 24.—Although
Chairman R. A. Doughton 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 highway com
mission could take over and main
tain the 45,000 miles of highways in
the 100 county system in the state,
thus taking this burden from prop
erty taxes.
The last general assembly added
one cent to the gasoline tax, bring
ing in about $2,500,000 and approp
riated $500,000 additional, the $3,
000,000 going 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 the 45,000
miles of county roads at their pres
ent standard and at about 75 per
cent of the present cost, Chairman
Doughton thinks.
This would enable the state to
take all the road maintenance cost
; from the counties, except adminis
tration costs, but the proposal will
meet with strenuous opposition from
the nearly half a million automo;
bile owners, who would pay the
i shifted tax.
Adds Million To Fund.
The state department of educa
tion 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 pdd
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 amount1
was doubled by the last general as
sembly. increased $1,500,000 a year
from the $5,000,000 recommended by
the budget commission.
Aftermath of Realty Boom.
Failure of the. Central Bank and
Trust Co., Asheville, a $21,000,000
bank, last week, and the sympathe
tic failures of several other smaller
banks in Asheville, Biltmore, Hen
dersonville, Waynesville and other
places, is not a reflection of condi
tions in general in the state, but is
an aftermath of the boom condi
tions, inflation of real estate values
and highly valued real estate m
now frozen assets, carried on some
three years ago by high-pressure op
erators after the Florida boom, ac
cording to John Mitchell, chief state
bank examiner.
Mr Mitchell warns the people of
the state against histeria, a condi
tion which often results in a "run”
that few banks can withstand. An
nouncement of the Wacovia Bank
and Trust Co. that a million or more
dollars was ready in its Asheville
branch for any depositors who
sought to withdraw is believed to
have helped to allay the fears of

Impetus of a by-now-moverncnt
gave Shelby streets a holiday at
mosphere Saturday as one of the
largest shopping crowds in a
year's time thronged local streets
and in and out of Shelby busi
ness houses.
Perhaps the day's rush was noth
ing more than the usual fall trading
drive which comes along about i.ti
time, but,-regardless of the cause, it
was a rushing business day.
Best Of Year
The majority of Shelby business |
houses reported their best day's j
business for the year due to the fact ]
that a major pe'-.entage of the j
throng seemed to r here to buy und ;
not for sight-seeing:.
Several local stores, already stock
ed up and advertising holiday oar
gains, were so packed in the after
noon that the store interiors were
jammed with hum?nity at times. j
Saturday's rush, the fact Thanks
giving is only three days off and
Christmas a little more than, a'
month, have pepped up Shelby mer
chants who are preparing to handle
a heavy fall and holiday trade in the
coming weeks. Saturday’s business
offered ample proof that Shelby's
trading territory is just as large as
it was a year ago and before the
business depression began, and local
business men were thts week set
to handle the holiday business of a
wide trade area.

Old Custom Of Holiday Paroles
Not To Be Followed In N. C. This
Year, Gardner And Mull Declare
No Special Holiday Parole* Can Be
Expected, Governor Says—
Nothing For Christmas,
Raleigh, Nov. 24.—There will
be no Thanksgiving paroles tor
any of the state’s prisoners this
year, neither can any particu
lar clemency be expected as
Christmas presents, Executive
Counsel Odus M. Mull said,
with the approval of Governor
O. Max Gardner, most of them
for minor offenses or in cases
where new evidence indicated
a doubt of guilt.
Until the administration of
former Governor A. IV. McLean
It had become something of an
“old Tar Heel rustom” for the
governor to grant a large num
| ber of paroles on Thanksgiving
and New Vear's day. However.
Governor McLean brought an
end to this practice, and Gov
ernor Gardner has ben follow
ing in the precedent.
Governor Gardner also issued
a formal announcement to the
effect that felons convicted of
violations of the banking laws
or positions of public trust or
of breaches of fiduciary rela
tion-, need not expect any clem
ency and might as well save
their time and money or the
money of their friends in urg
ing their appeals. Former Gov
; ernor McLean also set some
thing of a precedent along this
same line, consistently refusing
to listen to the pleas of those
seeking clemency for convicted
bankers or others who had held
positions of public trust. Gov
ernor Gardner, however, has
been a little more lenient than
McLean and has paroled two or
three of these ex-bankers.
This particular announcement
issued by Governor Gardner is
believed to have been instigat
ed by the intense effort that
has been under way for some
! time to secure clemency for
Frank K. Brown of Salisbury,
sentenced to State's prison three
j years ago as a result of the
misuse of funds and consequent
failure of a building and loan
association there, of which he
j was president.
It is believed also that the
growing number of bank fail
ures in the state may have had
j some influence upon Governor
Gardner and that he intended,
this statement to serve as a
thinly veiled warning to bank
executives as well
