t) CUT PRICES ONTAGS | BAD FOR HIGHWAYS Good Roads Enthusiast Work ing Against Decrease In License Fees Miss H. M. Berry, secretary of the North Carolina Good Roads as sociation, was in Brevard last wees in interest of maintenance of the present price of automobile tags, and in at’, interview with i» Times reporter gave some interesting data in argument for her stand on the tag price question. Miss Berry said that there are a number of politicians in the various counties of the state who are seek ing to gain political prestige by ad vocation of the “Georgia system” These folk. Miss Berry said, are not offering a way to finance the main I tenance and building program that] people in each of the hundred coun-. ties are clamoring for and must| have if good roads are to be con-; tinued. i As a clincher to her argument that the price of auto tags should stay where they are so that the man who benefits most from the good roads that are provided by the state under the present set up. Miss Ber ry said that it was either let the au toist pay or put the tax on prop erty owners who do not benefit from the good auto roads that traverse the entire state. Miss Berry was leading figure in the original “good roads for every countv movement several years ago, and states that she is not receiving one penny for her efforts now, do ing her work out of regard for the system which she had a great part in building up. She quoted the fol lowing statistics: Since the passage of the Act of 1921 establishing the State High way Commission, other legislatures of 'more recent years have added to the responsibilities and activities of the State Highway Commission, # such as: 1. Taking over for maintenance and betterment 48,000 miles of coun ty roads, thereby lifting a burden from the counties of $9,000,000 per annum, which was their cost to the counties at the time they were as sumed by the State. 2. Taking over the burden of our entire prison population, both State and county. Aside from the prison ers which can be used profitably on the highways, there are approxi mately 1.000 prisoners which must be supported and may be classified as “deadheads.” 3. Another duty imposed by the last legislature is for tthe Commis sion to manufacture and furnish lime at cost to farmers.

HAMILTON BASSO’S NEW BOOK WINS APPROVAL OF THE LITERARY WORLD "Cinnamon Seed” is title of a new book by Hamilton Basso, well known in Brevard where he has spent much time and where he wrote a great part of the novel just off the press by Charles Scribner’s Sons. The following article about Bas so’s new book was taken from the book section of last Sunday’s At lanta Journal: Let the literary trumpets blow; Hamilton Basso has given them something to blow about. The south has a new novelist— not one of those authors whose blos soming into print produces a hot house flower which must be shielded from the chill winds of criticism blowing down from the north, but a writer who has brought forth a sturdy plant, beautiful in coloring, and deeply rooted in native soil. Basso was born in New Orleans, and “Cinnamon Seed” pictures the deep currents of life which flow through Louisiana and the south as a whole. The work is exceptionally rich in characters. The reader meets the old colonel, "living in the shadow of the Confederate flag,” and dream ing away his life in memories; Olivia and Anne, his two highly strung daughters; Horace and Sam, contrasting negro types of the old and the new generation; Harry Brand, not altogether unrecognizable as the politician rampant, and best of all, Dekker Blackheath. Dekker is an orphan reared by aunts and uncles. One of his aunts maintained that he never had an idea in his life; that the way he acted was the way your knee acted when vou hit it. But there is some thing 'indefinably appealing about Dekker. In his towering rages and frequent resorts to violence, in his years of aimless wandering and in articulate search for happiness, ho, typifies a younger generation adrift, in a changing world. j Basso portrays a south in which. the riav of the aristocrat is over. He shows how old forms and institu-] tions are being washc-d away in a tide of relentless industrialism, and the picture he creates, a canvas of social portraiture, is impressive m sympathy and truth.
