The enthusiasm of the country over the j flight knows no bounds, and organize-1 tions and individuals are competing to entertain the airmen. Among the many suggestions that have been made, ifis that when Cham-1 herlin returns to the T’nited States hej be taken aboard a Berman warship, preferably the cruiser Berlin. "This honor.” says the Aehtur Abenblatt “would show the American people move than anything else hew proud Gerinapy is over the fnct that the two countries are not divided any longer by the ocean."

( GRANTED AT MEETING Salary and Wage Commission Grants i Sow* WO Increases in State Sal- I artes. . Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel. | By J. C.

But the commission did not grant i these increases, which will aggregate approximately $70,000 a year, to the state employes jitst to "get in good" with them, hut because it considered that the increases should be granted, ■ and that increased efficiency, with I corresponding economy to (he state, I would result. “The salary and wage commission is ready ami willing to do what is I just and what is right—and. its mein j bers are not hard-hearted automatons, as some would believe," said a depart ment head who has been noted for his opposition to the commission. “I be live it is going to do the fair thing whenever it can.” And it granted the increases which he appeared before it to seek. “In one sense, it is impossible for s group of men like the salary ami wage commission to judge the effici ency and devotion to duty of em j ployes concerning whom they know I nothing, ami concerning whom the , head of the department knows much," I said another .department head. “But because of the variigis conditions and circumstances, some such body be -1 comes necessary. But 1 found the j members of the commission sincerely 'interested in the welfare of the state , workers and ready to reward real merit. I "I sincerely believe that when any J department head goes before the cont- I mission, and can show it that certain 1 employes really deserve increases in salaries, and that more efficient work will result,, that the commission will jbe ouly too glad to grant it.

PAYMENT MADE ON THE DEBTS The Premier Explains That This Was Done so to Make Further Negotia tions Possible Soon. Paris, June 9.— UP) —Premier Poin care told the chamber of deputies to day lie hoped to get better debt set tlement terms from the T'nited States, and that he intended to try particu larly as he realized that the French parliament would not ratify the ac cords with America and Great Brit ain in their present form. The Premier Raid that was why he had made the "provisional" payments on the debt account—so as to keep free to renew the negotiations. Hie declaration came after he had remarked that "the French parlia ment does not seem to wish to ratify” the accords, drawing from Jacques Dubois, who was under secretary of finance under Caiilaux the question: "Are you proposing that the chamber ratify them?" The chamber suddenly frnmed into interest and pressed the Premier for an explanation. "I do not propose ratification of the accords,” he said, "because I hope to obtain better terms, and because parliament certainly would not agree to bind the country for 62 years. “That is why I voluntarily propos ed provisional payments, so we would retain our freedom of action to nego tiate on a uew basis. Blit in order that we may fear nothing and be truly independent of our creditor countries, don't you think it would be useful to have foreign monies, and particular ly monies that did not come from those creditor countries?” The deputies when the debt ques tion bobbed up. were debating conces sion of the French match monopoly to Svenska, the Swedish match cor poration. which has offered to- loan the government AAttt.OtMWOO., » t With Our Advertisers. ,T.

Raleigh, June 9.—801 l weevils are now reported as being Commonly found on cotton growing in Scotland and Robeson counties, the first authentic record of their occurence having been' sent to tile Department of Agriculture by J. A. Harris, of the lflvisiou of Entomology. Harris reported having found six weevils in one field on June 0. ufter having examined a thousand plants. At this rate the weevil pop ulation is about 300 per acre, which is about the same rate of infestation that was found, in the early summer of 1923 on cotton plants before they showed squares. The winter survival of weevils was shown to have been greater than during the three preced ing winters. The Mexican bean beetle is now “on the rampage' in the western part of the State, it is indicated by a statement given out by Dr. R. W. I.etby, entomologist of the State I>e partment of Agriculture. He recom mends dusting With a mixture of one part of calcium arsenate to each nine pn rts of lime. The bean beetle, he says, is known to infest 46 of the western counties of the state. This pest first entered- the southwest corner of North Carolina in the summer of 1921. WIN Not Fight Extradition.

For it is merely necessary for the county ac i i oiintant to show tile amount of un :jj collected taxes on his balance sheet, and then he can go ahead and make j up ljis budget accordingly. S But although this has been ex | plained to the county commissioners I and others from time to time by the advisory commission there are still L indications that there is much con- I fusion in the minds of county officials as to the procedure to be followed with | regard to county fiscal matters ini Jtliose counties where restraining or-' ders have been issued, according to. re|iorts being received by the commis sion here. • Thus tbe county accountants and : commissioners are in error if they . think it is necessary to delay the making up of the county budgets • either to await the Rale of land for t taxes or because of injunctions, or ; for any other reason, since tbe law ■ requires that the budget be made up i in June. And because the budget is l purely theoretical at the time it is ! made up. it is not necessary to have i anything more than the estimates on i the balance sheet. ; Thus all the county accountant ■ needs to complete his budget gsti ' mates is a balance sheet, which will show among the assets the uncollected | taxes for the year 1926. The ques tion of settlement by the sheriff or tax collector does not enter into these proceedings at this time.

FETZER Secretary and Treasurer Asst. Secretary irff, which some county accountants think necessary before their budgeting can be done, would represent exactly the same thing as the balance sheet which the county accountant himself ought to prepare. The budget estimates to be prepared this month by the county accountant and submitted to the board of county commissioners not later than the first Monday of July falls into these di visions. One consists of • his esti mate of the amounts necessary to be appropriated for the different activi ties of the county and, sub-divisions for the next fiscal year, and is based on information already furnished him by the heads of departments and of ficers in charge of functions. These figures have to do only with estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year, which begins July. A second division of the budget is an itemized estimate of the revenue | to be available during the ensuing I fisenl year from sources other than , tax levies. In analyzing the assets according to his balance sheet, the county accountant should bear in mind, however, that a portion of the uncollected taxes showing in the bal ance sheet may be actually uncollecta ble by reason of insolvents, errors and overcharges and tax sales. This es timate of uncollectables may be based on information furnished by the sher iff or tax collector, and on previous experience with such items. Third, any unencumbered balance of the revenues of the current fiscal year on hand June 30th as reflected in this balance sheet must also be in cluded in the budget estimate. When these two last named di visions of the budget estimate are set up, the excess of the estimated ex penditures for the next fiscal year over the revenue to be available'from sources other than tax levies and the unencumbered balance, if any, will i represent the amount to be provided by the tax levy.
