Shallotte, May 2.-(AP)-Represen-

Cotton Crop
Good Start
Heavy Rain in Tex
as Changes Com
plexion of Outlook;
Prices Also Drop

New Orleans, La, May 2.-(AP)-
would be left at the post, this years
cotton crop appeared TO be off TO a
good start.
While it was agreed that anything
could happen before the eleven cotton
states come down the home stretch in
August, heavy precipitation in Texas
seemed definitely to have broken a
widespread drought that threatened
for a time to cut deeply into the
States yield
Prices, quick to respond to any po-
territorial increase in the crop, dropped
back nearly 81 bale during the early
part Of this week, although surprise
reversal of trend restored some so
cents of this loss yesterday.
Crop experts pointed out that an
other favorable development was the
excessive cold weather of the past
winter. Disastrous in some areas in
the cotton states, the low tempera-
lures wrought havoc with the boil
weevil and other pests.
Too early for any definite estimates
on acreage, the trade is accepting the
administration prediction of a ten
to Is percent increase over last year.
AS the second week of selling loaned
cotton drew to a close, there was no
indication of a let-up in world demand
AS fast as the cotton could be passed
through the official channels it was
being sanpped up both here and
abroad.

DUKE POWER WARNS
OF BIG RATE CUTS
Cuts for Comme rcial Users
Means Rise in Domestic
Service Costs

Raleigh, May 2 (AP-Duke Power
company attorneys and witnesses told
the State Utilities Commission here
today an adjustment in the rates
charged commercial consumers of
the Company would bring about in
creases in residential charges. The
testimony was given in the action
brought by the North Carolina Mer-
tjhants Association, seeking lower
commercial rates.
w. S. OBJ. Robinson, of Duke coun-
sci, said the earnings of the company
were about 25 percent on actual value
of properties. Adjustment of COM
mercian rates on the same basis with
the domestic rates and provide the
same revenue would result in an in
crease for $4,000 residential consum-
ers, and for $500 of the commercial
customers.

HUNTING SLAYER OF
CHATTANOOGA LADY
Mrs. Ella Mae Mcconnell, Wife OF
Theatre Manager, Brutality
Slain i'm Apartment

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 2 (AP)-
Working on varying death bed state
ments, police hunted mice looking"
young man today for the fatal beat
ing of pretty Mrs. Ella Mae TcCon-
nell.
Detectives said the 23-year-old wife
of a theatre manager, and mother of
twin baby girls, may have been the
victim of either of a maniac or re-
jected sutton.
Mrs Mcconnell, found beaten and
slashed in her apartment just before
the dinner hour Thursday, died yes
terday after giving rambling and con-
flicting accounts of the attack.
Investigators hesitated to place
much credence in any of her state
ments because of her semi-conscious
condition.
Police Captain Homer Edmondson
said the brutality of the assault, in
which Mrs McConnell's abdomen was
crushed by a mans kicks, lent basis
to the theory that mailman was re-
sponsible.

WHEAT PRICES NOT
TO DROP VERY FAR
Will Be Governed by De-
mand in u. S.; Gold In
flux Causing Worry
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Press Staff Writer)

Wheat prices are not expected to
drop far. Even if the spring wheat
crop exceeds expectations, the United
States still will not have large sal
able surplus. In other words, there
will be little overplus for foreign
sale. The price will be governed by
demand within the United States.
If Europe or Canada should have
crop failures, prices would rise in
the United States.
Such is the best available opinion.
GOLD INFLUX
Government financial advisers are
worried over the renewed influx OF
gold from France. That gold adds tC
the excess reserves cat a phenomenal
height. And excess reserves, if they
ever break the dam, would bring
about flood of initiation that might
wipe out every real value.
On the other hand, gold from
France is a distinct liability. II
France does not devalue, or does de
flow back suddenly-and American
security values, bolstered by the in.
flow, will sink suddenly and rapidly
with the outflow.

Litigation :.

Raleigh, May 2.-(AP) = Efforts
were being made here shortly after
noon today between the Southern Bell
Telephone g. Telegraph Company and
the State Utilities Commission to COM
promise telephone rate reductions or
dered some 16 months ago by the COM
mission, authoritative sources sadi.
The rates, ordered into effect jan

toners of the So Southern Bell ex-
changes in the State an estimated
1921, 900 annually Effectiveness of the
rates was stayed by court order.
Official sources said the commits

that Southern Bell counsel, rather
than press their fight on rates thro-
ugh possible further lengthy court
procedure, was considering acceptance
of most of the reductions.

cision to continue the fight was ex-
