News of Statesville Colored People (By T.

E. ALLISON, JR.) The religious pageant, "The Christian's Pathway to Heaven" featuring the honest preacher, with! spiritual numbers given at the Coca Cola Hall Tuesday, April 4th draws a record breaking crowd as well as pleasing the audience. All the numjbers were 'good, which was made known by the frequent applause. The pageant was under the direction of I. O.

Delaney. It was given by the Colored First Baptist Church but members from most of the churches took a part making it the talk of today. We can appreciate any number of such efforts. The grand opening of the New Eureka Casino was Tuesday night, April 4th by the Eureka Pleasure Makers featuring Jimmie Gunn and his Dixie Serenaders, Victor Recording, Broadcasting and viUe favorites. It is the most unique place of its kind in Western North Carolina, I dare say.

The management was fortunate in being able to get such a noted band for the opening. If you were not there you missed a treat, a good time was had by all. The band is the best of its kind in this section. You can hear them for yourself over station W.B.T. They played in the New England section of the country last season and are now on the Dixie Network Broadcasting system.

J. Hollowell, a senior at Johnson C. Smith university spent the week-end in the city with relatives and friends. We were glad to have him home. Prof.

Thomas Cowan of Greensboro spent Sunday with us. Mack Steele of 615 Walker St. is able to get to the porch now. We are proud to know he is improving for he has been missed in church and community as he is quite active for a man of his age, taking part in all things worth while. The Misses Miller of Taylorsville spent Tuesday evening in the city.

Slump in Income Is Attributed to Tie-Up Of Funds Barium Springs, April at the Presbyterian Orphans' Home at Barium Springs attribute the tremendous slump in March income to the bank holiday and its subsequent effects upon the banking institutions of the state. Compared with the same -month of 1932, the income at Barium Springs was less. Prior to March, the receipts at the Orphanage from the Synod had closely approximated those of the fiscal year 1981-32. On March 1st, the North Carolina Synod was $1,884.41 behind ihe previous year's mark. The slump in March brought the shortage to In order that this decrease may partially be eliminated, the books in the treasurer's office are being held open for the first half of April to credit belated gifts fro church organizations which were given in 1932-1933.

The fiscal year ended on March 31st. That this is a wise procedure has b'een Indicated within the past few days in the amounts that have been received, Several hundred dollars of Thanksgiving Offering given or pledged to Barium last November, have been sent in since the first of April, as well as other regular amounts. Despite this move, the full total of the shrinkage will not be eliminated perhaps, for there are many banks in North Carolina which have not been rellcensed to open, or which are operating under restriction. In the treasurer'a office here are checks totaling over $360.00 on closed banks. Letters have also been written to say that some Orphanage funds were not available at the moment because of the extended holiday of banke in which these funds had been deposited.

An encouraging aspect of the financial situation at Barium, however, is the announcement that 161 churches have exceeded their previous year's total given to the Orphanage. The actual amount of excess for these 161 churches la $8,852.29, which is equivalent to 20.39 per cent increase. The majority of these are smaller churches. Some of the larger Presbyterian churches of the state are far behind the total given to Barium laat year. Vestus Little Is Charged With Seduction Little, of Kannapolis, was placed in Jail her?

Report New Luxury Tax Bill Is Drawn Raleigh, April new so-called luxury tax bill has just been completed by Representatives Harriss Newman, of New Hanover, and Senator John Hinsdale, of Wake, and will be introduced in the house as soon as the revenue bill under consideration, it is being reported here today.

This new bill imposes a tax. on the users of electricity, gas and telephones and also imposes a heavy tax, on clothing for men and women, on sugar, coffee and kerosene as well as on cigarettes, soft drinks, candy and cosmetics. The framers of this bill are planning to introduce this measure as a substitute for the general sales tax section which it is now certain will be contained in the revenue bill when it is finally brought in by the house finance committee, it is understood. The authors of this bill maintain that it will yield between $7,000,000 and $8,000,000 a year in revenue, or as much as a three per cent general sales tax. Hitler Says We Set Precedent for Jew Ban Berlin, April Adolf Hitler pointed to the United States exclusion act against the yellow race as a precedent in explaining today his purpose in removing Jewish intellectuals from medical, legal, artistic and scientific positions in Germany.

"The American people were the first to draw the practical political consequences from the inequality in the difference of races," he said, "Through immigration laws it barred undesirables from other races. Nor is America ready now to open its doors to Jews (fleeing) from Germany." To this reference to emigrating Jews, Hitler added the usual Nazi assertion that no physical harm whatsoever was done them. He also expressed the opinion that the United States, which before other modern countries became an exponent of a strong movement against foreign elements, has the least occasion to attempt to counteract Gemany's efforts to purge herself of foreign elements.
