HAUPTMANN SEES PRISON
NEIGHBORS MARCH TO DOOM

Bruno Richard Hauptmann saw
three men march past his death house
cell to the electric chair Friday as he
sat in a New Jersey prison.
The condemned slayer of Baby
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., awaiting
result of his appeal against death
sentence, sat in No. cell, near the
door to the execution chamber.
Those who died were Connie Scar
pone, rs, Michael Mule, "a, and
George de Stefano, Is, all of Trenton.
They killed John Szcytkowski, 81, in
October, 1888, in a vain effort to get
$500.

Hauptmann since the first day he
entered the death house. They called
him "baby killer" But Friday, in
the shadow of the chair, they shook
hands with him.

Proposals Added

Despite shouted assertions by old

the "dole" for those on federal relief,
by vote of Sc to Fl.
The Adams amendment to limit the
appropriation for one year ending
June 80, 1886, by 81 to 80 ballot.

GERMAN LEADER PLANS
GERMAN SUPERIORITY
Great Britain, Italy, and France Are
Alarmed by Adolf Hitler's
Announcements

Germany's leader, Hitler, has an.
nounced that Germany will no longer
abide by a ruling made by the three
great powers, England, Italy, and
France, to limit their army, but that
Germany plans to increase it to such
an extent that it will be superior to
other European armies.
Despite the reticence of Berlin Off
Gals to make public the numerical
size. of the army they planned, it was
said authoritatively there that Hitler
told Sir Eric, the British ambassador,
it would have 100000 men.
Doubt was expressed whether
France could hope to pace with Ger
many now or must fall behind,
through sheer lack of manpower.

ing Wednesday. He never fully re-
gained consciousness.
Funeral services were held Tues
day morning at the Orion Baptist
Church, of which he was a charter
member and where he had served in
the capacity of deacon for % years.
Mr.. Bare's devotion to the little Bap-
fist church was brought out by the
fact that he had never missed a COM
munion service there since he joined.
Rev. Ezekiel Sexton, pastor of the
church, was in charge of the services.
He was assisted by Reverends P. E.
Downs, T. A. Farmer, and Roby

sided at the organ, and favorite songs
of the deceased were sung by the

ers of the local high school where Mr..

N. C. LEADS IN INCREASE IN
FARM PRODUCTS RECEIPTS

The latest report from the bureau
of agricultural economics Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture shows that the largest increases
in receipts for farm products from
1882 to 1884 were in the following
five states: North Carolina, 1872 per
cent; South Carolina, 95 per cent;
Georgia, 80 per cent; Alabama, 80
per cent; and Virginia, 60 per cent.
The government report showed that
North Carolina farmers received for
their farm products in 1892 the sum
of $85,846,OOO; in 1888 the amount
was $142, 462 900; and in 1884 the in
come had grown to $203, 624, 900. In
rental and payment benefits, the
farmers received $2,848,0O0 in 1882
and this income had grown to $12,-
$4,000 in 1884.
Farmers of the state received for
their crops, livestock and other farm
products, rentals and payment bene-
fits combined the sums of $85, BAG, 900
in 1882; $4,000 in 1888; and
$216, 2O3, 900 in 1884.
This huge increase in income for
the farm population of North Caro-
lima is partially attributed to the 100
per cent increase in tobacco prices
and to the more favorable marketing
conditions for cotton under the cur
tailed production program.

ASHE COUNTY BOYS AND GIRLS
MAKE GOOD in TOURNAMENT
Lansing Last to Go Down in North
west N. C. Cage Battle in
WinstOn-Salem

The coaches of the various Ashe
county school teams who entered the
Northwest North Carolina basketball
tournament in Winston-Salem last
week and the week preceding had
ample reason to be proud of their
work as the Ashe boys and girls, in
every case, played clean sportsman
like games as well as hard fought
ones.
The Nathans Creek girls who were
swamped by a Mt. Airy team were
highly praised for their good game
and were given almost unanimous
applause from the sidelines. Jeffer-
son, Fleetwood, and West Jefferson
played praiseworthy games and Lam
sing actually got within hearing dis
lance of the final game, but were
defeated Friday by Dobson with a
score of 80 to 20.
The Winston-Salem Journal gives
this account Of the Friday night
game which was last one in which an
Ashe team played:
Dobson and Lansing boys FLASHED
in The second game of the night.
Dobson put on burst of speed as
the game opened and quickly took
the lead. Lansing came back and tied
the count, however. In the closing
periods of the tilt, Dobson, with a
lead of three points and two minutes
left to play, found the basket and ran
up nine points. Cockerham and Jack
son starred for Dobson, while Clark
and Key played brilliantly for Lam
sing. Incidentally, the Ashe county
ischool sent down a Woodworking
quintet.

HOUSE OPENS FIRST REAL
FIGHT OVER BONUS BILL
Three Proposed Measures to be Air
ed; Presidential Veto Possible
if Measures Are Passed

Words 'of warming praise mingled
ssw;ta shayp sarcasm were heard in
Washington Tuesday as the house
opened it's first zeal fight this session
over how and when $2,00O,00O,OO0
should be paid as a bonus to World
war veterans.
The three-day period of debate
started with explanations by leading
advocates of three different methods
of paying the soldiers bonus-Rep-
resentatives Patman, Democrat of
Texas, Vinson, Democrat of Ken
lucky, and Andrews, Republican of
New York.
Patman opened with a shout that
his bill was not infationary even if
it did call for the issuance of
$2,OOO,O0O,O00 in new currency.
Patman's new currency bill is back
ed by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Their representative were in the gal
lery. WILSON'S bill which leaves to the
treasury the method of payment, was
written by the American Legion.
Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., American
Legion commander, also was a gal
lery-ite.
AS the house started it's, debate,
President Roosevelt issued four execu-
tive orders modifying the two-year-
old veterans economy regulations and
giving liberalized- payments to wild
ows and orphans which it was esti-
mated would cost an addional 81 ,800,-
600 annually.
Some wondered whether this liber-
alization was intended to win some
wavering votes to an eventual bonus
compromise bill. It is understood that
there is definite possibility Of a presi-
Dental veto if any of the bills pro-
posed were to pass both houses. 1t is
said the President would use the rea-
son Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover
used-that the country cannot afford
it.
