Soon after July 4, "when the

"Mr. Grissom's chances of win

Everyone admits he would make

be acceptable to more people IN

Complaints AS To
Spring AT Lenox
Park Draw Reply
Not City Owned, Says Chief
Powers, But Coopera-
ton Offered

The spring in Lenox Park is not
owned by the City of Henderson
vile, and the city has nothing to
do with the use of the property,
Chief of Police Otis Powers said
today.
However, the city. will be glad
to cooperate in identifying and
keeping up the spring, Chief Pow
ers said.
His statement was as follows:
"There has been considerable
complaint about the spring IN
Lerox Park and it seems that a
number of our citizens and tour
lists are under the impression that
the city owns this spring or has it
in charge. This spring is owned
by a private individual and the
city has nothing whatever to do
with it, although the city has gone
to a great deal of expense at diff
ferent times IN cleaning this
spring out and trying to beautlfy
around it, but it seems that the
public does not appreciate what
has been done there.
eve have placed benches there,
moved the weeds down and put
garbage cans there, but the seats
and garbage cans have been cary
ried away numbers and numbers
of times.
at has also been called to my
attention that when certain peo-
pie 90 over there, maids with chill
dren, that someone has been or
dering them away from the
spring. This is beyond my control
but will say that it is someone
without authority from the city to
do so.
81 believe that the city officials
would be glad to cooperate with
the owner of this spring and help
beautify it and keep it in good
condition but so far the owner OF
this spring has not turned it over
to the city and does nothing to-
wards the upkeep of it himself
and what has been done has been
done by the city and few of the
citizens who live near 1t.
81 am writing this letter so that
the people will know that the city
has nothing to do with this spring
nor has it had anything to do
with the people who have been or
dering these people to stay away
from there.
"Yours very truly,
"OTIS V. POWERS,
"Chief of Police"

MECKLENBURG MAY
LOSE ALL COTTON

CHARLOTTE, June 19.-Unless
Mecklenburg county farmers have
rain within the next week the cot
ton crop probably will be lost and
if rain comes during the next
week only about a lialf crop will
be made, Oscar H. Phillips, coun-
ty farm agent, said yesterday.
The county agent said the ma
ior portion of the county is still
dry and that very little, if any, of
the cotton is up to a stand. Indi-
cations are that the cotton and
other seed planted cannot germi-
nate unless it rains.
Farmers were advised not to
pillow up their cotton until June
25. If rain comes before that
time good management should re-
suit in half crop and possibly
better, Mr.. Phillips said.
If it does not rain before June
25 farmers may plant the cotton
acreage to corn, soy beans, cow
peas, and related crops, although
it was advised that corn paintings
should not be made above the base
corn acreage Of the Individual
farmer.

DEMOS DRIFT TOWARD BATTLE
OVER TWO-THIRDS VOTE RULE
Fight Would be Between
City and Rural Voters
for Party Control

PHILADELPHIA, June 10
CUP). - Democrats are being
driven toward a fight between city
and rural voters for control of the
party at their national convention
next week.
The issue of whether the presi-
dentia. candidate must obtain two
thirds of the LOO votes to be
nominated instead of simple ma
jority appeared last night to be
the start of battle that may
leave sears long after the last
delegate has gone home and put
his badge in mothballs.
Early arriving delegates are
chiefly from the Agrarian South
and West. They are almost unanl-
nous in demanding that the two
thirds rule - established in the
days of Andrew Jackson - be re-
tanned. 1t is their only weapon,
they say, against domination OF
the party from the big cities OF
the East and North. Once Dixie
unites against a candidate under
the present system, his cause is
lost because enough votes can be
mustered to keep him from get
ting the necessary twO-thirds.
Postmaster General James A.
Farley spoke for the populous
East when he said that he per-
sonally favored the abolition OF
the two-thirds rule. The argument
of that faction is that the most
votes come from the big cities and
that no section should be allowed
to veto the will of the majority.
"The Democratic party" said
one delegate who declined to al
low his name to be used, was
organized by and for the little fell
low. The only way the little fell
low can keep the Democratic
party is to keep control of it.
Most of the little fellows are
where l am from-the South. and

Roosevelt Wins Bitter l05-
Day Battle Over Reve-

MINOR OBSTACLES
ONLY REMAIN NOW

WASHINGTON, June 10. (UP).
The legislative jam that has held
up congress for weeks began to-
day to break renewing hopes for
sine die adjournment by tomor-
row night or Monday at the latest.
Agreement after months of
bitter controversy was reached on
the budget tax bill, keystone of
the jam. "rPr
Leaders hoped the conference
report could be acted upon tomor-
row in both the house and senate.
Other bills presented only minor
obstacles.
Only two of these were labelled
"must." They were the $685.
100000 treasury-postoffice sup
ply bill and the $43,250,000 Dis
trict of Columbia supply bill.
President Roosevelt won a Bit
ter, 1O5-day battle with congress
last night when coferees agreed
on an Ss00,00O,000 revenue bill
designed to equalize the nations
tax burden and augment the in
come of stockholders by imposing
graduated levies on udivided cor
poration profits. ~
The normal a per cent income
tax rate was not changed. Apro-
posal to increase surtaxes one per
cent on incomes between $4,000
and $4,000 annually was scrap
ped. ..
There was no vote in the confer
ence but Chairman Robert l..
Doughton, D., N. c., of the house
ways and means committee said
the conferees were in complete
accord" He said he would bring
the conference report up in the
house Saturday for immediate ac-

Senate leaders indicated the up
per chamber may sit until early
Sunday morning to dispose of the
tax measure and bring about sine
die adjournment of congress be-
fore the Democratic national CON
vention opens in Philadelphia
Tuesday,. .. !. ;,
Doughton said the compromise"
measure had the complete approx
al of President Roosevelt. The
conference group worked with
such speed in the closing hours
