LEGUME SEED GIVEN
FOR FOUR COUNTIES
College Station. Raleigh, Oct. 3.
H. A. Patten, acting AAA executive
officer at State College, announced
today that the AAA has made avail
able in four Eastern North Carolina
counties 170,000 pounds of winter le
gume seed.
Under grants of aid, these seed will
be distributed to farmers who have
already filed applications for them.
The seed will not be outright grants,
Patten explained, since the cost will
be deducted from the farmers’ agri
cultural conservation checks.
In Bertie county farmers will re
ceive 60,000 pounds of hairy vetch and
50,000 pounds of Austrian winter peas;
Pender growers have applied for 56,-

of Austrian peas; Duplin farmers
will get 28,000 pounds of vetch and
and 12,000 pounds of winter peas; and
Hertford has been assigned 28,000
pounds of vetch and 12,000 pounds of

HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1938
Gasoline Tax
On Inspection
Big Diversion
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, Oct. 3.—Commissioner of
Revenue A. J. Maxwell didn’t say any
thing about it, if press reports arc
complete, but his address £t States
ville to the Ninth District Democrats
directs attention to the fact that
North Carolina annually diverts near
ly a million dollars from highway re
venue to the general funds.
The commissioner did this by sin
gling out for praise the so-called
Doughton law under which a tax of a
quarter cent a gallon is imposed on
all petroleum products for the assign
ed purpose of “inspection fees.”
Inasmuch as the expenses of the in
spection division are quite insignifi
cant when compared with the money
collected for “inspection” and inas
much as whatever surplus is left goes
not to the Highway fund out to the
General Fund, there seems to be no
getting around the, fact that this sur
plus of tax over inspection expenses
is out and out diversion of automotive
tax collections.
T.t seems rather unusual that all
<1 ■>? the campaign against diver
sion, .o attention has been called to
this f eatUre, but Mr. Maxwell’s talk
is •jt in to put anti-diversionists to
thinking about it and cause them to
do it of campaigning against it.
i n.y are more than likely to be*
gin drive for enactment of legis
lation providing that the inspection
surplus go into the Highway funds
rather than into the general funds
as is now the case.
As for Mr. Maxwell, he has put him
self in something of a contradictory
,-usition. F ’ently he declared himself
■i c anplff. convert to the anti-diver
sion cause. Yet now he heaps praise
upon a tax which is the clearest, most
clean cut case of diversion in North
Carolina. All other diversion is “con
tingent.” This is absolute.
Many Tickets Sold
For Duke Concerts
Durham, Oct. * * —Only a few score
seats for Duke university’s centennial
concert remain unreserved, it was
learned today from J. Foster Barnes,
manager of the series. The heavy de
mand for season tickets has made it
necessary to offer more series tickets
than were originally provided, he
states, and all seats in Page audito
rium will probably be taken by hold
ei\ of season tickets.
The keen musical appreciation of
North Carolinians is attested by the
fact that the only public announce
ment of the centennial series male
’till now was made from the stage
at last season’s final concert, in April.
Seats -fdr the entire 1938-39 series have
been reserved by hundreds of music
lovers throughout the state, and a
number of persons from adjoining
states have made arrangements to
attend all the centennial concerts.
The series is to begin on November
21, with a performance by the greater
Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. This
outstanding international dance
company, recently reorganized and ex
panded, has been included in the
Duke series for four consecutive sea
sons. Next month’s appearance here
will be the fifth for many of the
lovely ballerinas and their agile, hand- >
some male partners.

By T. MOSES JONES
Rainy today, and almost turned
cold. And here it is time to be think
ing about winter wood and coal, and
winter outfits in the clothing line for
three fast-growing boys, from the skin
out. Walking home to supper in the
late p. m., the beginning oi this poem
suddenly struck my mind as quickly
as lightning strikes a tall tree. And
for the past houroor two I have been
trying to turn these thoughts into a
poem. Here is the finished product:
WHEN WINTER COMES
I'
What becomes of the birds and the
flowers,
The summer’s sun, and the spring
time flowers,
That lezy feeling, of yours and ours,
When winter conies?
What becomes of the ieaves on the
trees,
The Katy-dids, and the honey-bees,
The thistle seeds wafted by the
breeze, ' ' ■; 1
When winter comes?
II
What becomes of the trickling brook,
With fishes caught upon your hook.
Those snap-shot pictures that you
took,
When winter comes?
What becomes of the fresh-plowed
ground,
The robin red-breasts flying round,
And every noise with a summer
sound,
When winter comes?
111
The winter’s sun is hid by a cloud,
The flower bulbs are in a shroud,
The south-flown birds still sing aloud,
When winter comes;
The leaves are turning back to sod,
The th.stle seeds are sleeping hard,
The honey-bees have no golden-rod,
When winter comes.
* ' ' i IV
The ground is wet, or covered with
snow,
The brook does still towards the
ocean go,
On mantei those pictures are in a
row,
When winter comes;
Those fish, at bottom of mud-hole
deep,
Are qu et and still, and look asleep,
We w.ll these memories of summer
keep,
When win er comes.

completely completed, I shall try co

Today that little runt, of an Ar

man that he had twin sons three
years old. About that time I walked
up :and told the man 1 had twin sons,
also. And “to cap the climax,” Ste
phen Beasley walked by. So I told
the man that Mr. Beasely had twin
daughters. By that time the man
thought the joke had gone far enough
and we had a time persuading him
that we were really telling him the
truth.

Doc Seate, from way up in Person
county, and Raymond Royster, from
north Granville, were today standing
on the corner discussing fox hunting.
I then found out about that time
Dock and his dogs had been run
ning a fox for hours and almost had
him, when Raymond and his pack of
frjesh and rested hounds came in
upon the trail and caught the fox.
And if I do not stop all this, I will
be spending the night dreaming about
trying to invent a poem, or talking to
a girl from Indiana, or going with
Raymond and t)ock fox hunting, or
something. So will close, with joy in

Board, said Harris, was “an en
thusiastic supporter of Burgin,” and
that Craver was “understood to have
voted for Burgin in one primary and
Deane in the other.” The new mem
bers replaced David Sink and Ford
Myers, ordered removed by the State
board last week.
The board revealed that it had re
ceived “final” returns from Richmond
county. The figures followed State
board recommendations, giving Bur
gin 1,664 votes and Deane 5,358.
Should the new Davidson board fol
low the recommendations, the “final”
returns from that county would give
Deane the nomination by 23 votes. If
the new board makes new findings,
Burgin may become the nominee, as
he had a margin of about 160 votes
before the State board’s inquiry void
ed a number of Davidson absentee
ballots.
