Wilkins, who left this morning to take approximately 75 boys and girls to the 4-H Club camp at Swannanoa, urged the fanners of Cleveland County in a general statement to “make the best cotton crop you can, and devote most of your time to raising food crops.” xuc wuixvy HKCub, » uiv meat’s pause from a throng of in quiring visitors, made the follow ing statement: “The general crop situation throughout the county is a great deal better than it was about two weeks ago, but crops are still gen erally below normal. “The cotton crop in some sec tions is fair, but in others, the crop will fall far below normal. If, how ever, we have a late fall and a good season, and if the boll weevils let us alone, things may be better than they look at present. “I would urge those farmers who have spots of land on which the cotton crop is unusually poor to plough the cotton under and plant food crops. We can see that our cotton crop is going to be low, so we must concentrate on food crops.” Mr. Wilkins stated that the dryeet parts of the county are around the Lattlmore section and the No. 3 township section. There is also a district between Waco and Fallstan that is in bad need of rain. 60 4-H Members Leave For Camp A party of 60 gleeful youngsters left the office of the county agent this morning for Camp Swannanoa near Asheville, where they will spend a week at the state 4-H rec reation camp.

McDonald who ran more than 50,000 votes behind Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby In the run-off gub ernatorial primary of July 4 asked the State Board of Elections today to “direct and conduct a full inves tigation'’ immediately of the voting “to the end that the nominees of the Democratic party may be de clared on the basis of the majority of legal, honest and valid votes cast.” The board certified the results of the contest for secretary of state, declaring Inad A. Eure nominee over Stacey W. Wade. Paul Grady, who trailed W. P. Horton by some 8,000 votes for lieu tenant governor objected to imme diate certification of the nominee in that race and said he wished to maM a statement at the proper time. Some of McDonald's allegations were: There was ballot box stuffing in a Wake and Madison county pre cinct and in a Cleveland county precinct June 8, in the first pri mary. Illegal ballot boxes were used in Clay and Yancey. Illegal voting places were used in Cleveland. Yan cey and Clay. Voters were intimln ated in Clay, Forsyth and Alamance. Persons not citisens of the coun ty were allowed to vote in Yancey. Illegal activities were carried on at the polling places in Cleveland, Yancey, Rowan and Forsyth. Vot ing by proxy was allowed in Clay, an election official in Surrey tried to throw away ballots before they were counted. The total vote was unreasonably large in Dare, Clay, Cleveland, Hen derson, Polk. Rutherford, Alexander, I Buncombe, Burke, Madison and Swain i League Advocates Four Year Toms For City Officers Movement Originated With League, Not With Local Municipal Officials. The effort to bring about four terms for city officials instead of one and two year terms, originated and is sponsored by the N. C. Lea gue of Municipalities in an effort to make city governments more ef ficient. Last week, when the Shelby city council was questioned by the Lea gue of Municipalities as of its at titude in the movement, it an swered in the affirmative, but this is in no way to be construed as an effort on the part of the city fathers of Shelby to perpetuate themselves in office. The proposed legislation Will come up before the municipal con vention to be held July 16th and 17th. The sentiment of city offi cials throughout the state has been secured and in practically every city, the officials as well as the tax payers are kindly dlsqpsed to uni form and longer terms for city of ficials and the “staggering" of terms so that experienced men will carry over with newly elects. Lyle T. Alverson, executive direc tor of t)ve National Emergency Council, Herbert A. Olson of the Ann Arbor, Michigan, Municipal League, State Commissioner of Revenue a, J. Maxwell, State Treas urer Chas. M. Johnson, State High way Chairman Capus Waynick are some of the prominent speakers who have accepted invitations to appear on the program at Wilming ton.

Threatened with suspension of the American Federation of Labor for alleged dual unionism the pres ident of the United Mine Workers and seven other union chleftans affiliated with the committee for Industrial organization ignored a summons to answer the charge. “We had hoped that out of our conferences some settlement could have been reached," Green said. | “That was their primary purpose. Unfortunately they refused to come. That makes It very difficult for the council." McDonald Charges Dr. E. W. McDonald, asking a summary investigation by the State Board of Elections of the July 4 run off Democratic primary, said today he thought he had pre sented enough evidence of Irreg ularities to arouse a reasonable doubt as to the nominee for Lleut Govemor and possible doubt of the nominee for Governor. Witnesses for McDonald included P. R. Christopher of Shelby. Eyston Smashes 24-Hour World Auto Speed Mark _ BONNEVILLE, Salt Flats.
