don't inject the serum and virus into

often forms abscesses at the point of
injection.

By M. L. 8 hip wan
Raleigh, July 6.?la the opinion of
Governor McLean, who hnowa wEat
he la talking about. North Carol&a
u a "grow.ng concern." The Oorern
or tells a New York banking publica
tion that this State's wealth produc
tion for 1926 was one billion dollars
and more. This stupendous sum in
cludes the value of textile, tobacco,
furniture and miscellaneous manufac
tures, forest and mineral products,
crape and lire stock. In addition to
production figures It is pointed dut
that approximately $125,000,000 worth
of new buildings were erected la the
State during the last twelve month
period. The value of manufactured
products alone is placed at $968,000,
000.
The Budget Bureau advanced to the
center of the stage during the week
and exhibited a "credit balance" of
the State, as of June 30th, showing a
surplus of $1,120,398 for the fiscal
year ending at midnight on Wednes
day. Governor McLean who is highly
elated over the showing made, ex.
plains that this balance Is accounted
for by the horizontal five per cent
cut in appropriations amounting to
$370,439 for the fiscal year and that
the remainder of $755,959, "arose frbm
the unexpected balance of appropria
tions provided for interest on short
time borrowings and debt service, and
from savings made by the various de
partments, institutions and other ser
vices of the State government, by re
ducing their actual expenditures un.
der the appropriations allotted."
It Is pointed out by the Governor
that the last General Assembly es
timated that the total receipts would
be $12,425,688, whereas the actual col
lections have been $12,951,074, or
$525,386 above the estimate. The
legislative appropriations amounted
to $12,983,678 which exceeds collec
tions by only $32,604, a remarkably
fine showing for the brief period Gov
ernor McLean has directed the affairs
of the State. But His Excellency sug
gests that the time unit of the State's
finances is the Biennlum and June
30th, 1927, will show conditions about
which he may "pat himself on the
back," or admit that his methods of
financing have not brought expected
results. However the Governor feels
reasonably safe in predicting even
more favorable conditions at the end
of the new fiscal year- beginning July
1. 1926.
Department of Revenue
also talks In large numbers." - It
has collected considerably more than
eleren million dollars the past year
and that Is "not a thing to cry about,'
especially when It is remembered that
reports a year ago showed the col
lection of only *6,246,816, with a de
nclt In the general fund. This re
cord-breaking collection of taxes Is
made possible, it Is said, by increases
