Bottlers Agree To Tax; Raleigh News (CONTINUED PROM VSUtt ONfc i pay it, and pay it they will, if there is any way to do it, in spite of the law, even if it has to be in the form of a donation. Admittedly, the state needs the money and will probably find a way to accept it’, since the bottlers are willing to pay. Also, it is one of the best publicity stunts imaginable. Moreover, it will probably save the bottlers from having to make up the difference two years from now. and still more New Appointee. A A.

School Savings Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be saved in the operation of schools in North Carolina through abandoning hundreds of small one and two teacher elementary and high schools and consolidating them with nearby larger and more effi cient schools, according to LeRoy Martin, secretary of the state board of equalization. Many of these schools shouid have been abandoned earlier, but were continued because of local feeling and politics. Mr. Martin said. Now that the state is operat ing the schools. these important economies can be made effective and the pupils will be given better instruction in better buildings. A compilation of figures some what, exclusive of the six larger counties not participating in the equalizing fund. 615 elementary schools, 414 white and 201 colored, have been operating with less than a daily average attendance of 22 pupils, and 225 high school, 187 white and 38 colored, have been op erating with a daily average at tendance of less than 50 pupils. Small County Schools. Cleveland county, the report shows, had three white and two col ored elementary schools with a d*tty average attendance of less than 22, and three white and no colored high schools with a daily average attendance of less than 50 pupils. .

Negro Admits Attack On Grover Girl And Sings And Prays Before Dying In South Carolina’s Chair Not Frightened. Asks To Pray As He Reaches The Electric Chair. Columbia. S, C, Junr 15—After kneeling calmly in prayer before the electric chair, head bowed in hands, John P. Moore, Cherokee county negro, was executed Friday for assault on a white woman near Grover. He was the eighth negro to be executed in South Caroline m 1931. The other seven were convicted of i murder. Before the current was sent through his body to snuff out his life, Moore asserted he was guilty of the crime, declaring “I’m ^guilty from my heart." He appeared not to be frightened in the least, walking unassisted in- ] to the crowded death chamber. When he reached the chair, he stopped and asked if he could be allowed to pray. His voice was: steady as he opened his prayer with the words, “the hour has come,’ After asking forgiveness for his sins, he asked God to "bless all these people in this cell,’’ and drew a parallel between himself and the thief on the cross at Calvary who “swallowed death." Tells Of Conversion. After he was seated in the chair, he said, "before I go I want to in scribe a word to these folks." He told of his conversion two days ago. and said he was ‘ happy’’ now that his soul was saved. "Before day before yesterday," he said. "I was living in sin.” He was baptised by prison chaplains Thurs day. In a statement he- handed to newspaper men, Rev. s. K. Phillips, white chaplain at the penitentiary, said during the two weeks Moore was in the heath house he "was sullen and would not "talk” and "gave us the impression he was either playing-off* or did not care for spiritual help." On Wednesday, however, his at titude changed and he “talked, free ly confessed his crime, asked Us to sing and pray with him and stated he wanted to find Christ x x x” Receives Forgiveness. The chaplain said on Thursday, Moore said he had received forgive ness. "Just before he left his cell for the chair, he said 1 want to sing a song' and then in a splendid voice that was strong with assurance he sang, ‘Well, You Needn’t Mind Me Dying Jesus Going to Make My Dying Bed.” , Moore was convicted in May in Cherokee county court at Gaffney No appeal was made to the supreme court. He wTOte a letter to Presi dent Hoover asking that he be sav ed from the chair. Nearly 100 Square Miles Of Property (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE t who failed to pay their taxes this year and after 7 per cent, was add ed on May 1, let it go over to the sheriff's office for sale. This is 617 more than the previous yeah had One taxpayer owed only 16 cents tax and penalty, and another only 17 cents in all, but they failed to pay even those small taxes and let the property go to sale by the sheriff.

How Townships Differ. The variation in the amount of taxes by townships certified over to the sheriff by County Treasurer Thomasson this year is due chiefly to the amount of taxable property and taxes in each of the nine town scrips. The largest amount of delin quent taxes this year is in Catawba township, including the city of Hock Hill, with adjoining Ebenezer second, and Kings Mountain township, coni taining Clover, third. York township is fourth highest in the amount of unpaid taxes placed with Sheriff Quinn for collection. Bethel town ship has the distinction of the smallest amount delinquent and foots the list of township in this regard. Frank Grist Seeks Senate Nomination Raleigh, June 15.—Prank V.
