THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE OFFERED FREE SERVICE FOR LICENSE TAG STATION Local Chamber of Commence Offered to Do Work Without Cost But tbr State Declined Offer. Officials of the Concord Chamber of Commerce offered a free auto li cense station for the State but R. A- Doughton, 'commissioner of the de partment of revenue, turned it down. When it was decided some time agd to abolish some of the sub-stations which have been handling the license - tags for the State, It was stated that the stations had cost the Stato'ho : much that they would not be operated rhis year. That statement lead to ■ t'he free offer from Concord but Mr. Doughton will not establish the sta tion in this city, cost or no cost. “The Chamber jot Commerce is anxious to serve the people,” Dr. T. ■ N. Spencer, secretary of the chamber, ; snid in discussing the matter, “so we ■ offered to give the service free if the State would send the tags here. Here tofore a certain commission has been ■ paid by the State to persons in charge of the sub-stations, but we did not ask for that commission. We fig ured that if the State was abolishing some cf the station as a means of saving money it would be only too glad tot have us operate for them withoin cost. However, t|ie free offer was refused and our people must write to Raleigh for the tags, necessi tating money for stamps and postage, or drive to Charlotte or Salisbury, where sub-stations will be operated on the commission basis.” The letten from Mr. Doughton fn reply to Dr. Spencer's offer to .op erate a free station, reads: “I have your letter of the 26th instant, and regret very much to ad vise that we will be unable to place a branch office of this department »n Concord. , “For your convenience, there wHI be an office at Charlotte and Salis bury.” .*■ \ MINISTERS IN REGULAR SESSION AT Y.

Parkes Cad man. president of the Federal Coun cil of Churches of Christ of America, sent Mr. Duxbury the following let ter after hearing him in the Church in Brooklyn of which he is pastor: “I do not think I need tell you how greatly profited my congregation was by your really wonderful rendition of 'Tiie Book of Job.’ Nothing of its {“'id has been given in Central Church in the last twenty-four years which in One word may save you money DoNT” is advice that we da not hesitate to give when necessary to warn against hazardous speculation.
