It also adopted a mild iriijjp chants sales tax of one-tenth of me percent, which is estimated to briiia in $900,000. It increased the income i tax rate mildly and added material ly to the taxes paid by power and j public service corporations, over the house provisions and over the pres ent amounts paid. The senate refused to adopt the] Baggett proirosal of a surtax of 1,3j and then 8 percent of the profits of | corporations, over 10 per cent, and based on the assessed valuation, by: a vote of 28 to 21. and by vote oi 26 to 20 turned down another Bag gett proposal to tux the stock in foreign corporations, but did put a tax on the income from such stock,; That body voted down the general sales tax by about four to one and I killed the so-called luxury tax by a ' vote of 26 to 24 Threat of reintro- j duction of the general sales tax, when the bill reached the third' reading in I he senate did not ma-| lerlnlue. and it went to the hou-ie,! which body could hardily recognise its child. Coufmncr I ommiurrt. Speaker Willis Smith named on ihe conference committee Union L. Spence, Moore; H C. Connor, Wil son; Claude W. Allen, Granville; R.1 Ij. Harris, Person, and R, G. Cherry, j Gaston, and than added A. D. Mac- , Lean, Beaufort and Gurney P. Hood Wayne. He made the point that a!-' though he is opposed to either sales j or luxury taxes, he named a ma jority of the committee member.*,1 from supporters of one or both of these fasts President R T. Fountain, of Mi senate, named Frank Dunlap, An son, and John H. Folger, Surry, op ponents of the two taxes, and J W. Mi it'icicle-, Wake, introducer of the luxurv Ux bill, and W G. Clark, Edgeeon-e, mildly opposed to the sales , tax. The at nate declined th • invitation to name one or two mot" members when the house increased the number by two. Committee May Deadlock The conference committee is! spending the week-end trying to work out some solution whieh both houses will approve, but it is a her culean task. On the commute is a majority for the state support of the six months school term, and a big majority for one or the other of the two taxes. Some, however, for one tax are bitterly opposed to the other. Whether a deadlock will be |reached in committee remains to be (seen. Whether the two divisions of [the tax proponents can get together enough to have a majority over the opponents of any tax is still a ques tion. And when the committee goes back to the two houses with its re port, if it can reach an agreement, more fur is bound to fly. The house apparently is as strong for carrying out the provisions of the MacLean measure as is necessary to get It through that body, although there have been numbers of breaks from the original ranks. The senate, al though by a smaller majority, is just as strongly opposed to any kind of sales or luxury tax. other than the small one wrote into the revenue bill. The committee may be able to: come to ter Jpg and get the two' houses to follow, but the way Is hot! apparent. Several Ways Out. Any suggestion of a solution is lit tle more than a wild guess. Suggcs- j tion is that a modified sales tax, se- ■ lective commodity tax, be included to raise say $15,000,000 or $16,000,000, j with the other sources provided, turn | that over and require the six months j terms to be operated on the greatly j reduced amount But most every community would object to cutting the schools to the standards neces-; sary to operate on the funds avail- I able. Another suggestion is an increase of equalizing fund to $11,000,000 or even $12,000,000. by increasing the rate of the small sales tax put in the senate measure from one-tenth i of one percent to two or three or four-tenths. But this would not com pletely remove the ad valorem tax on real estate, and would be oppos-: ed. This, however, may be the solu tion In fact, the opinion has been i expressed by friends of A. D. Mac-' Lean that he would be willing to ac cept an equalising fund of $11,00(1; 000. or even $10,000,000, rather than keep the legislature in session long er than is necessary. More for Big Schools. The senate increased the approp riations of the state's Institutions, cut down from the advisory budget commission's recommendations by the house for complete state opera tion of the schools. That will wait for a determination of what comes! of the revenue measure in that re spect. The house spent large parts of two or three days on the re-apportion ment of members of the house of representatives, and redistricting the senatorial districts and finally adopted plans which many of the members hope the senate will work out more satisfactorily. Last Short Ballot. The last "short ballot" bill, to have the governor appoint commis sioners of agriculture, insurance and labor and printing, and corporation commissioners, sponsored by John A. McRae, Mecklenburg, passed the house, subject, however, to approval pf the voters of the (state in the i . . j (SJTTLES this summer are coins to ' create n lovely pastel rainbow 'Of color both at homo ami for islrcet wear, for cotton has ap parently come, out of the Kitchen i and graduated not only into thr i living room but also into the par lor as well.

Con tinuing he said, "Two years ago a roan from Forest City, attracted by the beauty of- the flowers, stopped by and wanted to buy some tulips for his sick child. I told him I did not sell flowers, but woukl be only too gltjd to give some for the sick child: When I had cut a hand full he insisted on paying. I declined to ac cept it. Then he argued that he did not want to take them unless I ac cepted pay. reminding me that they represented the sweat of my blow that he worked and made money and was able to pay. The argument continued for awhile as to whethci 1 should accept pay or not and he wrote out a check and left it with me. I have that check in the house, but it has never been cashed." Caught Spirit From Kyburn. Mr. Price has always loved flow- i ers, but he did not start into grow-. Ing tire in in earnest, until five years agp. Ife caught the spirit from At-, torney R. L.

His garden is a mecca each after ' noon and especially on Sundays. Sev 'era! hundred visitors went through his gardens yesterday, but he spent all morning cutting hand fulls to !send to the sick and shut-ins and that is the pleasure he gets out of the garden. New varieties of flow ers arc added year after year, but the greatest emphasis is laid on tulips.
