Incalculable Injury la the central part
Of the stete end farmers are said to
be greatly discouraged. Early vege
tables end. trucking generally have
seriously retarded. Cotton,
peach and other crops have suffered
immensely. Tobacco plants set in the
dust have dried up and re-planting
promises scarcely any better results,
at this writing.
Annual sale of automoMle license
plates is now on and Comlhlssloner
Doughton despairs of setting himself
up In new quarters now in process
of preparation until the rush period
shall have ended around the first of
July. The new building should, un
der the contract, have been completed
in December, but the contractors con
tend that a change of plans delayed
their operations.
A reclassification based on the horse
power of certain makes of cars places
the Dodge in the $20 class this year,
instead of $12.50 heretofore required '
for license plates. The license bu
reau estimates the number of Dodge 1
cars in the State to be 15,000 and that <
