Myron T. Herrick, ambassador to
France, died Sunday at Paris. Mr.
Herrick was greatly beloved by the
•French people because o"f the.manner
in which he “stood by” in 1914 when

named as ambassador by President

Washington newspaper men learn
that early plans of the census bureau
have been upset. It was announced
some months ago that officials
would consult with chambers of com
merce and other civic bodies through
out the country when it came time
to appoint supervisors and enum
erators for the 1930 census. It now
develops that these good intentions
have fallen victim to party politics,
and that only republicans in good
standing will be appointed.
Senators Glass and King, both of

original federal reserve bank bill
passed, have given a statement to
the press to the effect that they will
introduce at the forthcoming special

curbing loans for speculative pur
poses. Recent happenings on the
Wall street market led them to this
decision. *

States has been asked to take a hand
and prevent the Southern railroad
from buying the Atlantic & Yadkin,
running from Sanford to Mount
Airy, at receivership sale and thus
getting fee simple title to it. The
state of North Carolina owns a good
deal of the stock in the A. & Y.,
and the case is being handled by the
attorney general and A. L. Brooks,
of Greensboro, special assistant for
the purpose. The Southern railroad
has been operating the A. & Y.
under lease.
<g>
Folks Generally Are
Against More BoncU
Indicating the prevailing popular
sentiment against further .bond issues
or taxes for any purpose, the people
of Charlotte Tuesday defeated two
bond issues at the polls. One would
have provided a million and a quarter
dollars for school improvement and
extension. The voting was light, but
this issue was snowed under by a
four to one majority. The other pro
vided a quarter million for the pro
posed building,
and while the vote was closer on. that
issue it wa’s hopelessly beaten. L i

GOVERNOR GETS NEW CAR
—s>
The state of North Carolina has
purchased a new Lincoln automobile
for Governor Gardner. It was de
livered yesterday. The car has a
green body by Willoughby and is
priced at $6,600. Allowance of
$1675 was made for the old Cadillac
used by Governor McLean. The state
first supplied the governor with an
automobile during Bickett’s admin
istration when a Marmon was
bought. Morrison and McLean used
Cadillacs, but Governor Gardner said
that as Henry Ford has spent about
$2,000,000 on his plant in this state,
he thought the business should be
given to him.
Addition to the
i Silk Factory
Work upon a considerable addition
to the silk mill at Pittsboro is be
. ginning. This little factory is ap
parently very successful. It pays a
high wage, as factory wages go, and
the addition will be of considerable
advantage to Pittsboro, as yrell as
profitable, it is hoped, to the pro
gressive management,
i Also a residence is being built on
. Lanius hill for Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Wirtz. The work upon the remodel
ing of the Denson old place for Mr.
Ferebee is about complete. A cot
tage is being built on the place to
be occupied by Mr. E. W. Ellington,
during the time to intervent, prob
ably a year or two, before Mr. and
Mrs. Ferrebee cpme to live in Pitts
boro.
• " <S>
Gasoline Now Gent
a Gallon Higher
The additional one-eent-a-gallon
tax on gasoline went into effect Mon
day morning, April 1. The/extra
cent is expected to raise around
$2,500,000 annually for road main
tenance, and under terms* of the act
this must result in corresponding
reduction of county ad valorem
taxes to a like amount. The gaso
line tax has been four cents and all
of it went to the state. The new law
fixes the tax at five cents a gallon
and the additional revenue goes back
to the counties, distributed on the
bases of road mileage and popu
lation.
The first gasoline tax in this state
was put on in 1921. It was one cent
a gallon. It proved so popular that
two years latbr it was raised to three
cents, and in 1925 to four cents.
The gasoline and automobile li
cense taxes provide money enough
to pay interest and provide a sink
ing fund for $115,000,000 in high
way bonds.
Mill Operatives
Go Out on Strike
More than four thousand textile
mill operatives in the Carolinas have
walked out during the past few days,
and many of the largest mills are
running on part time or standing
idle. The strike started at Green
ville and nearby mills, and has spread
to Gastonia. It is said {that the
trouble is not a question of hours
or wages so much as it is new “effi
ciency” methods being inaugurated
by the mill management. . All of the
mills so far affected are controlled
by northern capital. A conciliator
of the United States department of
labor has been on the ground for
several days and he reports that the
situation is clearing up and agree
ment between workers and employ
ers is expected soon.
<§>
No Federal Tax
Reduction Now
Treasury department officials are
inclined to think that they will not
recommend any further reductions
in taxes at this time, although the
treasury shows an apparent surplus
of a hundred million dollars. Income
tax collections, have exceeded ex
pectations, due largely to thq tre
mendous profits made on the stock
exchange during November and De
cember. Officails want to apply the
surplus to the war debt or some other
debt reduction rather than hand it
back to the taxpayers! in the form
of lower rates for next year.
WOMEN m PERIL
(Christian Advocate)
Liberty is- always dangerous. Those
who have- come into! a new found
freedom, are always in danger of
abusing the heritage into which they
have. come, t In these da'ys:wh,en con
ventions are set at .riaught and for
mer ’restraints are cast .to the winds,
the women are in gr;ave J peril. Glar
ing posters by the wayside display
the elite using the cigarette and some
college women urge that a smoking
room be set apart in college dormi
tories for the convenience of the
young women who desire to smoke.
Many women of this “new day” re
minds one of the negroes following
emancipation when they mistook
liberty for license to do as they
please save to work and to live quiet
and peaceable lives. Are the women
going to be able to keep themselves
clothed in their right minds in this
day of unrestrained liberty?
