Rural Electrical Survey Stymied Because Federal Executive Balh RALEIGH, Aug.\7.—Recently the State Rural ElectrL ic-r.ion auth ; ity announced that\it wouic con tinue its survey oi possible run' lines so as to cover any county 1: the state. The chaxic.es are, how ever, that it will no. be done. Why? Because Moras Cooke, federal administrator of all the ru ral line projects. is against the idea. That being true, the FERA. which proposed to finance the add ed survey, quite likely will withdraw the grant which was to have made it possible Cooke is against continued sur veys because he knows that everj - where a survey is made the people School Building Program Is Approved at $437,000 Thirty-three thousand dollars was lopped from architects' esti mates for the proposed new Shelby High school,^ the board of educa tion Monday afternoon and the Clev eland county PWA school building program, reduced to $437,000, was i approved as submitted by the co&n , ty commissioners.

It may be that surveys will be made in one or iwo other counties, but they are no' likely to be made in them all. 4-H GIRLS OFFERED PRIZES, FREE TRIP Forty-eight 4-H club girls, one from each state, are offered free educational trips to Chicago this fall and all expenses paid for s week's stay at the 14th National club congress as championship prizes id the National Girls' Recorc contest Every bona-fide 4-H club girl lr Cleveland county and the state whc is regular enrolled in home econo mic projects may compete.

New Rules Issued To Stop Bootleg In Bankhead Taxes Change* are Released By J. A. Propat 193ft Cotton Exemption Certificate# To About Sept. 1; Other Information. Elimination of bootlegging of ex emption certificates in the 193ft cotton marketing season Just, ap proaching Is the atm of a brand new set. of rules and regulations today Issued from Washington to Alvin Propst. Bankhead administrator for Cleveland county. Several other Important changes regarding the Bankhead control measures were released this morn ing by Mr. Propst. Some or the more Important of these are: The Rulea 1 The actual size of the exemp tion certificate book has not been changed, but. each book will hold certificates for 3,000 pounds of lint, instead of S.OOO as of last year. 2. Color of the certificates will be different, in every Southern state. This state's color will be green with red serial numbers. S. The tax on cotton not exempt this year will be six cents per pound. Last year it was ft.07 cents. 4. Transfer of certificates from ode grower to another must be made In person in the office of the administrator. ft. dinners will not be allowed to sell or transfer certificates as of last ye^r ft. The first allotment of certifi cates this year to growers will he final. There will be no "ten per cent" additional amount. 7. Growers may buy from the pool this year at five cents per pound i Last year’s price was-four cents 8. Special certificates will be is sued to growers of 968 pound? or less of lint, to be known as “two bale’’ certificates. Such growers will get 100 per cent, exemption, but. not necessarily for two whole bales —only the actual amount shown by their five year base average. Two i bale certificates will not be trans j ip rabid. Very Important 1! $>ne of the most important reg i illations, according to Mr. Propst is that growers will get exemption of approximately 66 per cent of their five year average, but that all will get exemption according to percent age. Last year it was according to ! yield. Whether or not the grower signed to reduce 25 per cent, or 35 i percent, his exempt-ton will be the ' same, although he may make more cotton. Mr. Props!, pointed out that, a ! number of the new regulations ■ would help greatly in the eltmina ■ tion of certain practices of fudging ■ and bootlegging of parts of certlfi f cates. Last year a grqwer had at least 195 pounds margin between i serial numbers. This year he has ■ only 20. ‘ Less than 20 bales of the "two , bale” cotton are expected to be , grown, says Mr. Propst. Last year all pooled tickets were , sold for 4 cents per pound from i which producers got 3.98 cents per i pound, showing that the government expenses for handling the tickets cost only .04 of a. cent per pound. ■» North Carolina bought only a I comparatively small amount of ex E emptlon certificates last year, total ! ling $1,978,701.61, while Texas 1 bought nearly 200 times as much • Cleveland county bought tickets ■ worth $88,399.20. The counties of • Halifax, Sampson, Scotland and Robeson were ahead of Cleveland 1 in amount. | Hoey And Sheriff “ To Go To Convention 1 Sheriff J.

Clerk of the Superior court and j Juvenile Judge A. M. Hamrick was this morning deploring the alarm - ing rise in the juvenile crime rate. “It’s worse than ever before in the . history of the county,” he said, con firming the opinion of Chief of Po lice D p Wilkins. “The boys—and > girls, too-undrr lfi are breaking i into stores and houses, si and getting into all kin& of meanness Unable To Get Road Or Water, CCC Camp May Be Called Off Property Owners Refuse Right-of-Way To Site On Wilson Farm; Army Headquar* ters Asked To Take Action Unable to obtain a right-of-way for water, electricity or a road, t he first contingent of CCC campers, tenting under the tall pines on the R.

Not. more than eight application blanks for the position of Shelby postmaster were requested here, a# the deadline for applying arrived last night. Prank L. Hoyle, acting postmas ter, said this morning that no names could be revealed, since the appli cations are not filed here Other blanks may have been obtained di rectly from Washington, he said but he thought it likely that eight would cover the total number ol job seekers. Appointment of a permanent postmaster will not be made by written examination, according to a new provision Instituted under the Roosevelt administration. The Job will be awarded under the ciVll service, which will take Into con sideration ability, experience^ ^yand business training. Mr. Hoyle, who was county cam paign manager for Major A. L. Bul wtnkle, congressman from this dis trict, was given the appointment ni temporary postmaster on July 1st according to political precedent. Rev. and Mrs. H. E. Prince ol Port Worth, Texas, and the South western Theological Seminary are visiting friends in Shelby and Cleveland county a few weeks. Mrs ; Prince was thes former Miss Eve I lyn Huggins of Bolling Springs anc j a teacher in county schools for somt 1 time. , ! but what can we do? “The Jackson Training school is the place for juvenile delinquents but it’s full up. Can’t get anybody in there. “So when they come into my court, what can I do? Nothing. 1 have to let them all go.” Mr. Hamrick suggests either en largement of the training school or j better still, he said, establishment I of institutions to serve one or sev lerak counties. “We're Just sitting by and watch ing the growth of a new criminal class," he concluded, • I camps. In the meantime, freight caw are bringing materials lor the erec tion of 20 large buildings, to covet almost. 15 acres, and Cleveland ! farmers are meeting at the court house at, 2:30 today to form a coun ty organisation which would em ploy the more than 200 colored campers scheduled to arrive here within 30 days. Proteat Against Camp While property owners near the camp site were refusing permission to cut roads through their land, or to run electric or water lines, a score or residents of the Belvedere community signed a petition pro testing the nearness of the negro camp to the residential section. Lieutenant J. S. Adams, com manding officer of the camp, asked that tlie petition be withheld until he could make a report to Genera) McCtasky at. Port, Bragg. He asked that regimental headquarters tak' action in the present difficulty. May Remove Camp Lieutenant Adams was reluctant yesterday to say so, but he did not deny that headquarters, when faced jfctth such dilemmas as the current |one. Is more than likely to cut th* i Gordian knot by removing the .camp altogether. It is possible but j not probable that a new site might be selected near Shelby or anywhere 'else in Cleveland, If the water-llght, Iroad problem cannot be settled More than likely, the camp woul-1 'be moved to Lincoln. In State Of Selge Besides the lieutenant and threi .forestry and soil erosion experts there are about 26 nsgroeg at the camp in the pines now Like an I army with Its supplies cut off, they lare in a virtual state of selge. Until the camp is better estab lished, Lieut. Adams said today, it would be better If no visitors call ed. This would keep'traffic down on the private road now used and reduce the annoyance to Belvedere residents. “There’s nothing of Interest there now. anyway," he said. ’Just a few tents In the woods. Everybody will be welcome after we get started. No Employment Now There will be no openings for lo cal employment, until after Sept. 1, he said. Local experienced colored men will be employed as leaders, he said, but he requests that none of them apply at the camp now. “See me up town, if you have to.” he said. Lieutenant Adams emphasised the permanent nature of the camp—U it gets established at all. Modem buildings will be erected for occu pancy of about two years, 14 build ings for the army, including huge barracks and mess halls, and six structures for the forestry and soil erosion detail < "I’d like to emphasize that these (Continued on page five.)
