Captain O’Eerry, state treasur r. versatile in his knowledge of taxation and financial problems, f. large landowner in Wayne county and. therefore, a citizen who knows the present problems of the state both from the theo retical and practical vantage grounds, dismisses the matter of R c-oqion of the Legisla ture to study tax matters with o very sample but profound re mark that this would be a feas ble suggestion if any wise and ractical plan could be worked out, but in the absence of any possible shifting of taxes by which general advantage would accrue, he sees no wisdom in messing with the matter. "The cause of all the present talk about high taxes is that the counties, cities and towns have been on a spending spree and joy ride for the past eight years and that the time to pay for the spree and the ride has come.” says the state treasurer. "But pay day has come, and of course it hurts to have to pay for all that; has been spent. But the only thing I see to do now is to prac tice the strictest economy every where now. both as individuals and counties, until some of the bills rolled up on this joy ride are paid. Strict economy and fru gality are the only measures that I see that are going to help the situation right now." he adds And that’s Just about hitting the nail where it ought to bt 1 it.

CHRISTMAS EVE. The poem reprinted below was jenned December 24, 1887 by Ida . H. Horne of Clayton. The aj-1 horess has lived nearly all of her itfe at Clayton and many of her :oimipO’sitions appeared in the layton newspaper and other North Carolina publications. In 1010 her son, Dr. Herman Har rell Horne, of New York Uni versity, edited a col lection of her poems under the title of “Simple Southern Songs The following poem, “Christmas Eve,” appears in this collection The merry, merry days are come, The gayest, brightest of the yc i • • And every heart thrills with a chord n-esponsive T.o me season s Above the winter wind I he x r The voice of mirth and maddest glee; And e’en the wind seems kinae* To touch the hare and barrel tree. '1 he sky, which might art. other times, Seem dreary with its leaden hue And falling rain—is still the sky Cf Christmas Eve, though gray or iblue. And every heart must own the spell Of “Peace on earth, and sweet good will;” The evening shadows softer crof*p Upon the field and distant hill. Ah, happy, happy Christmas Ev •! And while my heart is full a\d glad, I would that none today might !■* For e’en one moment, lone or sad. May friends long parted me*: again, And hearts estranged be recon ciled; Love’s fervor warm the chilling glance Of eyes that once in kindness smiled. 0 may each bosom beat as mine— With happiness, to think of bliss For me, when soon, ah soon i ’il greet A loved one with affection’s kiss. It Is Significant. Peculiarly significant in lany respects is data recently made public by the United States De partment of Agriculture on the average farm income for the five year period, 1924-28, inclusive, :n the different states of the coun try. In per capita income, which was computed by dividing the gto=s state agricultural income by the number of persons estimated by the Census Bureau to be living or. farms, Nevada tops the list with $1,169. At the other extrein* is South Carolina wrth an average jM- capita income of only $197.1 But here is the significant 'ea- i iure. Joust as Nevada leads the country in average per capita farm ncome, it also leads in the p^r .entage of cash farm income de •ived from livestock products vhile South. Carolina stands at he bottom, the percentages as signed by the Department being s5.i and 7.9 respectively. The figures lend substantial •veighit to the oft-repeated as sertions that the greatest need ■f Southern agriculture is more livestock because South Carolina is little worse off than other dates of the south. North Caro lina, for example, has an average per capita farn income of $257( and the percentage derived from livestock is 10.5; Virginia an in come of $222, Georgia one of £217; Alabama, $210; Mississippi. $238; Arkansas, $253 and Louis iana, $242. In the states of the south nam ed above, the average percentage of cash income derived from live stock is 15.4 as contrasted1 with an avprntrp -frw of 47. The average per capita farm income for the country s $404 or almost twice as great as that in the south. Such data should not discourage Southern well wishers, but on the contrary, should make them in ' ease their efforts to bring a change in farming- conditions bv paving the for profitable live stock husbandry. It is probaole that figures for several Southern States would show up better now than for the five year period cov ered by the analysis because sub stantial strides have been made in dairying, particularly in Mis sissippi and Alabama, but there is need for far greater changes than have been brought so far. It has been demonstrated be yond doubt that livestock can be made to pay handsomely in prac tically all parts of the South pro vided farmers start on the right basis. Experiences gained during the last ten years have sh >wr hew the major problems may be uceesafu-My overcome and there is good reason to believe that tnr coming decade will see southern agriculture made more profitable through the introduction anc proper handling of many time? the amount of livestock that ha< been kept heretofore.—tSoutliorr Farmer.

SANDERS & SON general merchants l’lune 21 and 12 () Smithfield, N. C. A Terrific Toll. An average of one out of every 90 cams registered in North Car olina was in a traffic accident last year and one car in each 634 killed someone. The human toil of carelessness, recklessness and disregard of rights of others was 675 lives. Is this tragedy written in hu man blood to go unheeded, un checked ? A score of states have experi enced an average reduction of 20 per cent per year in traffic acci dent fatalities following enact ment of driver’s license laws. As suming that this percentage would hold true in North Carolina—and there is no reason why it should no*t—a driver’s license law, ade quately enforced, would have meant a saving of 125 lives in this state last year and this year the figure would probably be 150. Every citizen should be vitally interested in making our high ways safer. A state-wide driver's license will be a tremendous step forward and every member of the legislature should be impressed with the necessity for such a lav. Under no circumstances should tb.e license be a purely revenue measure—the fee should be nomi nal. North Carolina automobile taxes last year approximated $2t>,000,000—plus G75 human Jives. This year the toll will be great er. A staite-wide driver’s license will do more than any other agency to develop a sense of in dividual responsibility on the part of every driver and this will be the only certain means r>f reduc ing automobile accidents.—Caro lina Motorists.
