Heavy Voting
In Asheville
Dry Election

Asheville, July 25.-(AP)-Heavy
voting before noon today brought
expectations that more than 10000
persons would ballot on proposed
establishment of ABC liquor stores
in Buncombe county.
Both proponents and opponents
said they were confident of victory.
Observers speculated, however, the
city would vote a majority for the
stores, and the outlying areas against
with the result depending upon the
size of these margins.
Church organizations held prayer
services in several precincts before
the polls opened. Prohibition lead
ers said Governor Hoey had urged
western counties to vote against the
stores. Buncombe is the western
most county to vote on liquor stores.

Washington, July 25.-(AP)- A
new turn in the controversy over
WPA wage scales threatened today
to hamper the administration drive
to obtain speedy Senate approval of
the 100000 lending program.
Senator Murray, Democrat, Mon

WPA back on a prevailing wage
basis. He announced he would seek
to attach the proposal as a rider to

In approving a WPA appropriation
bill last month, Congress adopted a
provision requiring all persons on re-

the same amount of money they had
earned previously with fewer hours
of work.
The War Department awarded the

North Carolina which he claims will
disclose to him, if to nobody else, the

But so far, the friendly Charlotte

Maxwell will run on an anti-sales
tax platform he will "sweep the
State:"
He did not explain just how Mr..
Maxwell is going to be able to per-
form the task of getting out on that
anti-tax limb in view of the fact that
the commissioner, perhaps more
than any one else, has been forced
to bear the onus of the levy for sew

that in his 1882 campaign Maxwell
was definitely opposed 70 the sales

Columbus, Ohio, July 25.-
(AP)-GovernOr w. Bricker is
thinking more about a second

1t was reported that japanese

er prices Ten Gays from now.
The suggestion came as the major
Georgia markets reported sales in
packed warehouses running around
16 to 18 cents. Last seasons opening
day average ran above Is cents.
Maximum bids in the early sales
were set at 20 cents, compared with
a top near 40 cents last season, while
inferior grades went as low as two
cents a pound in some warehouses.
E. c. Westbrook, specialist with
the Georgia Extension Service, said
farmers are not satisfied with the
prices they are receiving, but added
'they appear to be resigned to lower
prices than they received in 1885,"
"a check Of 247 consecutive piles
Of leaf in one warehouse this morn
ing showed an average of slightly un-
der Is cents a pound" Westbrook
said. Good, ripe tobacco is selling
from 18 to 25 cents per pound. This
compares with a check of 165 con-
secutive piles last year, which aver
aged % IL cents per pound"
He said tobacco had suffered from
being placed in the warehouses a
week ahead of the sales, with un-
favorable weather conditions affect
ing the quality. Westbrook said:
"CroWding of sales has grown
steadily worse in the last few years."
and blamed this as one reason Geor-
gia farmers "have not received full
value for tobacco in the past, nor
are they likely to receive full value
for it until the marketing period is
lengthened,"
