Raleigh, Aug. 5. —Henry Burke, late budget officer of the . State, and the man who made more folks mad than everybody else in the State rolled in one, has gone sentimental, the neigh bors say, and visits the people that he once chocked to death for appropria tions’ sake. The ex-czar, mellower than an/bi/dy ever saw him, movie fan and pipe devotee, makes call on old victims' and fraternises with them. The for mer budgetary officer has about de-' cided that Franklin Roosevelt is go ing to do the miraculous and make these Washington experiments work. Mr. Burke is not hurrahing for him, but the budgetr is sitting 'by . with 1 great admiration and watching thej show go on. Some people construe this to mean that in time Mr. Burke will come all the way back, that he will hook up again w§th No4th fiscal affairs which he has directed eight years. T,t Is even Stinted that -the State is goin gto need him as a steady consulting accountant, and that he’ will have many books of audit to review. Whether it means he will he asked to come back in somewhat the old role is of course, too much. But Mr. Burke has been homesick for some North Carolina deficits and salary cuts, some departmental reduc tions. He is helping Raleigh and Wake county find where they are right now.

Everything is being done by the agents of the State who are working out these disputed points with a view' to settling them without a special session of the General Assembly, but since the organized merchants are go ing to work toward such a session they may have the help of the teach ers in agitating successfully for one of these extraordinary sitting of the .general Assembly.
