PERKINSON General Contractor Southern Pines, N. C. New Saleu Tax Plan Comedy, tragedy, strategy and beauty relief were given in the Gen eral Assembly circles last week by the wet-dry forces, the “beauticians” and other groups, but the serious business continued to be centered in the Finance committee handling the revenue matters, and the Appropria tions committee, both of which were battling all the week with trouble some matters. The Finance committee had before it early in the week amendments coming from the McDonald-Lump- kin proposals to eliminate the sales tax, and the joint committees heard from many groups during the five days of hearings. Several corporations and other groups opposed the amend ments on the ground that they would throttle industries and activities in the state. Directors of the N. C. Merchants it up. It will probably receive a fav orable report, but the Ssnate vote on it will be close, that body being about 50-50 on it, apparently. Out Go Slot Maohlneft The law outlawing slot machines was enacted. A bill to postpone its becoming effective until May 31, when the tax year ends, instead of at once, was promptly tabled by the House. Commissioner of Revenue Maxwell cited that the licenses were issued and refunding it prohibited it the operation is later prohibited. Op erators have no come-back. How^ ever, reports are that in many places the machines are still operating. Drivers’ License Ijiw The automobile drivers’ licen.'-.e law passed the House and went back to the Senate for concurrance in minor House amendments.

Divergent views are expro.ssed on progress of the McDonald-Lumpkin plan, some saying it is gaining in favor with the committee, others that it is losing ground. Just how much of it, if any, or all, will be adopted, is yet to be seen. Hope is expressed that the Revenue measure can be reported out of committee by the end of this w'eek, but many doubt if that can be done. R. A.

It has approved appropriations of two or three million dollars more than the Budget Commission recom- men(Jled, and may have to back-track.

The Hill Bill Interesting aftermaths ar« develop ing from the hearing last week on the Senator Hill liquor control 'oil!. For mer Governor - Senator Cameron Morrison, as chief spokesman for the drys, jumped on Senator R. R. Rey nolds, who defeated him, and the Young Democrats, who, he thinks, contributed to that defeat. Later a joint resolution inviting Mr. Morrison to address a joint session of the assembly was proposed. The Senate adopted it with one "no” vote aft»er questions of what he would talk about were answered by "national af fairs.” In the House his Young Dem ocrat references were repeated, and amendments were proposed. One was to have him speak Saturday night, when the legislators v^'ere away. Another would include former Gov- y ^snors McLean and Gardner in the invitation. It was adopted, however, naming the time as 8:30 o'clock Wed nesday night of this week. The largest group yet to attend a ..hearing was that on the Hill liquor bill. Proponents were in the minority. A heated debate continued for more than two hours. The committee de cided to wait until this week to take Highland F»ines Inn and Oottages (WEYMOUTH HEIGHTS) SOUTHERN PINES SEASON DECEMBER TO MAY Highland Pines Inn with its Splendid Dining Room Service and its Cheerful Homelike Atmosphere Caters to the Requirements of those Occupying Winter Homes in the Pine Tree Section.

The House had received 445, of which 111 had been passed, and the Senate 230, of which 60 had been passed. A spurt of new bills Friday caused lawmakers to wonder if they are real ly going to get to go home by April 1, which ha.s been a favorite guess up to this time. A dozen public bills and resolu tions and 71 local and private laws have been enacted within the past two weeks. In this time public bills that have become law follow: $3,000,- 000 for immediate road and bridge work; outlawing slot machines; al lowing Historical Commission to re ceive gifts; providing time for dock eting appeals from J. Ps.; reducing refund to applicants for law licenses who fail, allowing compensation and expense to law examining board members, councillors and disbarment committees; allowing Conservation and Development board to regulate fishing appliances and apparatus; validating real estate sales made by administrators; validating judgments under which sales of contingent re mainders have been made; amend law on dutie.s of solicitors in discharge of State witnesses; amendment to fix venue in actions on sales of real es tate to make assets; amend law on domesticating foreign corporations. Fanners Get Much More For 1L34 Tobacco Than in ’33, Despite Acreage Cut Crop values for 1934 placed North Carolina third in rank among the states. Tobacco, the state's major money crop, brought $122,142,000, an increase of 41 percent over the 1933 value and ^45 percent increase over 1932. This is significant in view of the 25 percent decrease in the acreage harvested last year. The flue-cured tobacco siUiation shows much improvement compar ed with a year ago. With July 1st stocks in the United States esti mated at 770,000,000 pounds and i‘(;reign stocks of United States flue-cured estimated at 580,000,000 pounds, the total carry-over into the 1934-35 marketing season amounted to 1,350.000,000 pounds. The carry-over, combined with the 1934 flue-cured pi'oduction of 564,- 520,000 pounds, makes the total supply 1.915,000,000 pounds which is about 4 percent below the sup ply a year earlier. The consump tion of United States flue-cured to bacco during the i^'ar ending June 30, 1934 showed little change from the preceding year. The average price of producers’ sales for the entire season to date was $28.46, as compared with $15.93 on this date last season. A total of 394,994,876 pounds of pro duce of producers' tobacco has been .sold in the state. All mar kets are closed at this date.
