sonal visit to view the aftermath.
Appeals at (Tturch Services.
When the extent of the damage
was learned, ministers serving rural
churches of ail denominations, made
appeals to their membership at
week-end services, asking that those
who weije spared from any appreci
able damage, offer their services at
once t# their unfortunate neigh
bors. Plow hands will be sent in.
mules will be funushed and seed
loaned to stricken farmers. With
this neighborly aid, it is thought the
field crops can be re-planted and
that, with a late fall, the loss will
not be as great as it novr appears.
Quick Action Necessary
Ministers have called the atten
tion of their members to the need
for quick action and to the Chris
tian duty of the more fortunate
ones to help their stricken neigh
bors "There might come a time
when the neighbor you help in this
crisis will have occasion to come lo
your rescue, and you will be glad
to see him. And he will be only too
glad to return the good you do him"
pointed out some. “Let us not over
look the most humble tenant, be he
white or black. It he has suffered a
loss antf needs to replant his crop
or has become disengaged over the
outlook, give him a lifting hand and
a^cheering word just as you would
jybur own blood kin,” added a min
ister
Could Hare Been Worse.
Farm Agent Shoffner says there
are enough seed in the county to
replant. Many who have a surplus
of seed will probable loan what they
have to be returned in quantity next
fall.
“Things are never quite as bad a3
they first seem.” says R. E. Camp
bell, merchant, who added "it could
have been worse by striking the en
tire county as it did the two sec
tion* involved. Then the storms
could have come later in the sea
son when the crops were well on in
the season. To have come much
later would have meant that the
crops could not be replanted. But
with *,lat« fall, crops planted now
should turn out well and I am sure
the flue spirit of our people is to car
ry on and overcome this handicap.
Our Cleveland county folks have
wonderful courage and spirit of re
lationship. like one large family
which will enable us to recoup our
loss to a great extent if they will
follow the suggestion of The Star
o} lending help to those unfortunate
!ones.“

Only Miracle Can Keep Assembly
From Adjourning This Week Now
That A Revenue Bill Is Adopted
Believed That Legislature Will Ad
journ Wednesday After Ses
sion of HI Days.
(By M. R. Dunnagan, Star News
Bureau.)
Raleigh, May 25.—A miracle, little
less, will be required to prevent the
North Carolina general assembly
from passing the 1931-33 revenue
bill this week, best predictions be
ing that the measure will pass its
third and final reading about one
o'clock Wednesday morning, after
which that body will adjourn after
a record session or 141 days.
The revenue bill, embracing a 15
cent ad valorem tax on real estate,
on a state-wide basis, for the sup
port of the public schools, supple
mented by a substantial increase in
the tax on corporations and on in
confes, passed its third reading in
the house just after midnight Sat
urday morning and the tired repres
entatives were released until Mon
day night. The third TPSihug was
only a perfunctory one, t?r^ report
having been adopted on its first
reading 51 to 45 Thursday night
and 61 to 50 Friday.
Tire senate begins consideration
of the measure Monday night and
is expected to pass it along as rap
idly as the constitutional provisions
of reading on three separate days
will permit. Although the report was
adopted by the senate by only two
majority, no trouble is anticipated
in getting it through its reading.,
the first three working days of the
week. The proponents of the meas
ure have their lines firmly fixed
and no giving is expected, but sorr,'1
of the oppohents. on the'other ha ari,
are expected to join them.
. The conference report has had
hectic career, following other con
ference reports on the same bill,
which also had their ups and downs.
When this report first iame from
the committee to the house last
Monday night it was rejected", 57 to
50. Tuesday it was brought back by
the same vote, 57 to 50 and held
without action, the house waiting
for the senate to act. The senate,
on Wednesday, rejected the report
by a tie vote, 25 to 25, and one sena
tor, changed his vote from “aye” to
“no,” in order that he might move
to reconsider.
The senate, Thursday, by a 26 to
24 vote, reconsidered and adopted
the report, paving the way for its
adoption. Senator P. O. Clarkson of
Mecklenburg county, broke the tie
by changing and voting for the
measure, after the senate had
adopted his resolution which would
prevent cutting of teachers salaries
more than 10 per cent below the
state schedule and not then until
all other means of economy had
failed. This also applies to all school
folks. Senator Clarkson said he was
unwilling to have the teachers make
the goats and bear the big end of
the brunt of the salary cut.
The revenue bill, it is generally j
agreed, will result in a deficit if!
the business and economic condi
tions continue as at present. Under
normal or good conditions, it would
produce enough or practically
enough money for complete opera
tion of the budget. Another provi
sion has been enacted which per
mtts the governor and council of
state to issue short term notes, if
necessary’, to pay the full amount
appropriated to schools. ,
The machinery bill, which sets out
the method of valuation, taxation
and tax collections, and the appro
priation bill, giving the various in
stitutions, departments and divisions
of government' money on which to
operate for the next two years, are
yet to be passed. It is possible that
trouble will arise over both of these,
due to the provisions of the revenue
bill. Some of the appropriations
may be cut to try to help decrease
the deficit. It is possible, but not
likely, that these bills may cause
the session to continue a day or even
two longer than the time needed
for passing the revenue bill.
The bill seeking to rearrange the
senatorial districts on the basis of
the 1930 census figures has also had
a hectic career. The bill adopted by
the house and sent to the senate
approached a fair distribution of
senators as to population, but the
senate killed it and adopted one
which shifts only two or three coun
ties in eastern districts and makes
no effort to redistrict on the basis
of population. The house probably
wljl adopt it, although It leaves two
senators in the east who would go
normally to the west. The house re
apportlonment bill is a matter of
mathematical calculation and not
so much susceptable to politics. It
will probably pass as arranged.
Less than 25 bills were introduc
ed the past week, largely local, and
only a few have been enacted into
law. Total introductions have reach
ed 2,060.
Laws enacted,the past week in
clude one to empower and direct

Chain Store Bill.
Chain stores are the objects of a
bill introduced. The present law,
now before the U. S. supreme court
on a question of its constitutional
ity, plapea a tax of $50 on each store
I except the first one. The new bill
seeks to place a graduated tax. bas
ed on number. It gets all stores,
placing a '$5 tax on one store; $20
on each store of a chain of two to
five stores; $40 on each of six to 10
in number; $60 on each of 11 to 20;
$80 on each of 21 to 30 stores and
