block Senate action on the tobacco

the tobacco bill late yesterday, and
its senate supporters, Senators Rey-
nolds and Bailey, his North Carolina
colleague, announced move would be
made to get it passed today.

Raleigh, April 21.-There is more
than surface significance to the candi-
dacies of w. Kerr Scott for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Commissioner
of Agriculture and Mrs. Stanley Wohl
for State treasurer, according to gos-
sip current here today. For while
there is no doubt that both Mr.. Scott
and Mrs. Wohl are bona fide candi-
dates for the offices they are seeking
and that they are going to make every
effort possible to win the nominations
to these offices, the belief is general
that some of those who are support
ing them or who urged them to be-
come candidates had other detectives
in mind than their ultimate nomina-

According to the rumors which have
prevailed, Commissioner of Agricul-

COMMISSIONERS TO
CONSIDER BUDGETS
County Board May Adopt
Estimates and Fix Tax
Rate Tentatively

Budgets and the 1886 tax rate will
be up for consideration of the Vance
Board of County Commissioners at a
meeting to be held next Monday 1t
is thought probable that a budget and
a tax rate will probably be at least
tentatively agreed upon at the time.
Whethre both will be actually adopt
ed then could not be learned today.
At their regular monthly meeting
on the first Monday in July the COM
missioners devoted much Of their
time to consideration of the budget,
but came to no final conclusions.
One item that is receiving much
consideration is understood to ,be the
extent to which the profit from the
liquor store will be utilized toward
county costs and obligations. There
has been some talk of applying at
least a part of it to buying outstand-
ing county bonds. Some of it will pro
badly be applied toward general fund
costs and thus be reflected in the
tax rate for the year
The ABC board several weeks ago
turned over to the board $4,000 in
profits it had realized from the op-
Grafton of the store, and it was I'M
derstood at that time that other pay
ments to the general fund would be
made during the year. Just how much
of this would be possible could not be
sill with much certainty, and to
what extent that would figure in tax
rate was another matter of uncer-
tainty. AZ

City Preparing To Invoke

OPPOSITION is HEARD
View of Many Is, However, That
Those Against Project Have
Waited Too Long for Any
Move Contemplated

Steps looking toward condemnation
of much of the property that will be
required for the construction of the
Charles-Church street underpass were
under way today by J. p. and j. H.
Zollicoffer, city attorneys, as 1T APP
peared the City Councils committee
would be unable to agree with some
of the property owners on price for
their lands.
AT a meeting of the committee with
a part of the property owners, held
last Monday, no definite agreement
was had with any of them. Prices
have been passed back and forth, but
few agreements have been reached,
if any.
Meantime, considerable opposition
to the underpass project in its entire
ty was being heard today Much OF
this was from spokesman of Charles
street residents. Just exactly how far
it would 60 was not known. But OBJ
servers felt that the opposition was
making itself heard or felt entirely
too late to be effective. 1t was point
ed out that the plans had been drawn
and approved and bids have already
been called for and opened ~ the

chance of interference now is by court

TO START CHECK
ON SOIL PROGRAM
Compliance School for
Workers To Be Held
Here on Next Friday

A compliance school" for workers
who will check farms in the county
entered under the governments soil
conservation program will be held
here on Friday of next week, July "a,
it was announced today by j. w. San
ders, county farm agent, who is di-
rector of the crop control work in
the county. This conference will be
for the benefit of the county commit
teemen and their assistants who will
make visitations to farms coming I'M
der the terms of the agreement, which
is a substitute for the invalidated
AAA program.
A total of approximately 1900 work
sheets have. been signed by farmers in
this cour: which leaves about 300
farmers who have not complied I'M
der the new agreement.
Mr.. Sandelo SAID II was estimated
that the cut in cash crops in this
county would range from Is to 80 per-
cent under last year. He said he look
ed for cut of around 25 percent OH
tobacco and thought probably cotton
production would be 35 percent or
more off from 1885.
Just what portion of these reduc-
tons was due to soil conservation
compliance and what to shortages
brought about by the drought prob
ably would never be known, the coun-
ty agent said. The important fact,
however, after ALL was the curtail-
ment, with a view to boosting of
prices to that extent.
Just how much acreage reduction
has taken place will not be known de-
finitely until the inspections are mare
to determine the extent of compliance
by growers, the county agent said.

on the basis of alleged damages
claimed for property, mostly on the
Charles and William street fronts.
The general expectation today APP
peared to be that there was very little
likelihood of blocking the procedure.
The only cost to the city will be
the purchase of property that will be
needed for the underpass work. An
allotment from Federal WPA funds
for grade crossing elimination will
finance the actual construction work,
which will be done under direction of
the State highway board. The low bid
received by the commission Thursday
was 1,54S, given by a Chester, S. c.,
concern. 1t is understood work will
start shortly unless there is effective
interference.
