GARDNER RULES
NO FURTHER CUT

Gov. o. Max Gardner has announc-
ed that an extraordinary session of the
general assembly will be called in No
vember if necessary to balance the
states budget.
In a statement announcing a new
fiscal policy he said there would be
no attempt at present to withhold a
percentage of the salaries of state
school teachers and no further reduc-
ion in the salaries of other state m
ployes.
This decision was made possible, the
governor said, by an agreement to re-
duce state highway costs 900
below highway revenues and apply
this amount to meet necessary expen-
ditures out of the general fund.
Decision not to reduce further sal
aries of state employees abrogated a
budget bureau memorandum issued
shortly after the current fiscal year
began on July l reducing allotments
to departments and institutions to 80
per cent instead of 70 per cent of their
1881 legislative appropriations.
State employees salaries have been
reduced nee since the 1881 legisla-
ture voted a general 10 per cent cut
upon request of Governor Gardner
The $15,750,OO0 six months school
fund-of which more than $13,000,-
900 goes for salaries-is protected by
law from diminuition.

SANDHILLSlN
PEAK OF GOOD
PEACH SEASON
Crop Of Unusually High
Quality; Growers Ex-
tect To Ship Over 1000
Cars During July.

Commercial peach growing in the
sandhills of North Carolina has reach
ed a high stage of development, and
this year the value of the peaches pro-
duced in this section will be over a
million dollars.
The famous Sandhill section is along
the western border of the coastal plain.
The Sandhills often appear as outlines
on he Piedmont Plateau, where they
attain elevations from 400 to 500 feet.
They were doubtless formed in the
same, manner as the sand dunes. The
sandy texture of the soil in this re-
gion makes drainage perfect, and the
peach trees never suffer from too
much water. The rain is said to pass
through the soil so quickly that cul-
tivation is resumed soon after the rain
ceases. Combination of bright weather
with the we'll drained soil makes these
trees less subject tx the attacks of
fungus diseases.
Commercial peach growing in the
Sandhills, (the largest money crop of
that section) is of comparatively re-
cent origin. From time to time there
were isolated orchards but the first of
any commercial importance was plant
ed near Southern Pines, in Moore
county, in 1892, by ]. Van Lindley,
whose orchard consisted of $4,000
trees. Looking through "North Caro-
lima and its Resources" published in
1896 will be found the following par
agraph:
The crop from this ivan Lind
lew orchard, in 1895, was the first
crop from the trees and is said to
have paid twenty per cent on the in
vestment of the whole track of over
one thousand acres. The success of this
large peach orchard has greatly stimu-
lated the planting of trees in the Sand
hill country, and the available land in
the immediate vicinity of the rail
roads, is rapidly being taken up and
advancing in price,
The peach movement for this sea-
son began July 8, when the Hiley
Belle variety was shipped on a small
scale. The Georgia Belle began on the
18th and the Elberta on the rs. Fol-
lowing these popular varieties the J..
H. Hale peach will be shipped. 1t is
said that the peach growers in the
Sandhills will ship over 1000 cars
during the month of July.

Peach Industry Brings Over 81, 600 To State
State Revenues Off, But
And Interest Paid

Income taxes for the year just ended
amounted to $7,154,000; franchise
taxes to $6,670,ooo; license taxes t
~$2,356,000, and inheritance taxes to
$4S2, 600.
Highway funds collected the past
year amounted to $20,502,200, an in
crease of $1,787,335 over the $12,-

taxes amounted to $14,941,18O of
this, nearly $2,500,o00 more than the
year before; license plate revenue was
$~5,4So,7o4, or $6S4,O00 less than the
year before, and title registration fees
$S0,316, about $4,000 less than the
year before. Fees from 1882 automo-
bile license plates issued to June so
were $5,o42,295, or $764,172 less than
collections on 1881 plates to June 80,
1881.
Commissioner of Revenue A. ].
Maxwell was pleased with the June
collections, amounting to $1,147,603
for the general fund, as compared with
$674,559 for June, 1881, when con-
ditions are considered. June was the
first month in which highway fund
collections dropped below those Of a
year ago, however. The collections
were $1,199,692, nearly $4,000 below
June of last year. Gasoline taxes show
ed an increase, due to increased rate,
but licenses dronned.

WET PLANK
EXPECTED TO EFFECT
N. E. VOTE

Just what effect, if any, adoption
of the plank in the national democrat
ic platform calling for repeal of the
18th amendment and modification of
the Volstead act will have on the two
parties in North Carolina has been dis
cussed frequently in Raleigh in the
past few days.
This plank was adopted by a vote
of about four to n after a hard
fight, in which effort was made to
insert a plank calling for rcsubmission
of the prohibition issue to a vote of
the people, somewhat like the plank
in the national republican platform.
Whether or lot real dry democrats
can stand on the national platform is
now a question. At any rate, the cour-
age Of the democrats in taking a def
mite stand is to be admired.
However, it is pointed out that the
southern states, most of which voted
for the repeal plank, are merely re-
turning to their old demand for states
rights, allegedly abandoned when they
with help, forced the eighteenth
amendment over wet northern states
North Carolina, whose delegation vot-
ed Is to 8 against the wet plank:
still has it's burlington act, adopted
long before and more stringent than
the national prohibition laws. Thi'
state can, of course, retain its dry
law, or modify or repeal it, at will
by legislative action. The democratic
platform plank calls for taking thu
regulation from to the states tc han
die as they see fit.
MANY believe that North Carolina
i'm a strict wet and dry vote, woule
Ego Wet today, so strong has the SEN
timent developed against the manner
in which national prohibition law
are being enforced. Others say NORTH
Carolina would never go wet, while
Others take the middle course that thu
state would vote wet in a few years
but is not ready to do so yet. Tha'
may be about right.
While it is thought a few demo
Gratis may vote the republican ticke
this fall because the national demo
cratic platform plank calls for repea
and the state republican platform
dry, the shifting will probably ever
up, as wet republicans may join tn
democratic ranks, for the opposit
reason. But such shifting, if any
would be ignoring the democratic
south's age-old claim for states rights
one of which the national democratic
convention would restore.

CITY OF LEN0IR
STAYED WITHIN
BUDGET FOR YEAR
Clerk Reports To Conn
missi0mers That There Is
A Small Balance.

The administrative budget for the
City of Lenoir during the fiscal year
ending June II had $66.o7 unspent
of its appropriation totaling $51,766.-
81, Clerk and Treasurer John M. Crisp
told the Board of City Commissioners
last Monday night.
Mr.. Crisp was roundly applauded
for his management in keeping the ex-
penses within the prescribed budget, a
feat which is becoming a habit at the
city office. For the past several years
there have been balances at the end of
the year.
Were it not for the drought of last
summer, it is probable that the budget
would have had a sizeable balance.
Pumping operations during the four
months drought totaled $1,646.04,
which caused an over-expenditure of
$1,364.9o, chargeable to the filtra-
ton plant.

A Waterman subscriber who signs

Teacher, expresses the teachers pre-
dicament resulting from the unfin-
ished budget in the following lament:
A Salary Cut is my Infirmity; l

1t maketh me to look out into the
promising Green Pastures Of youth
and wonder at their harvest in the
autumn of manhood and womanhood.
1t leadeth me away from those. still
est waters of hopeful endeavor.
1t tantalizeth my soul and body. 1t
leadeth me in the paths of discourage
ment for the sake of an unbalanced
budget.
Yea, thou I strive to teach my very
best through the shadow of this eco
nomic depression,
l am made to fear and doubt its
fastened recovery through another
salary cut for teachers like me
For the scar OF the last cut is still
with me
Its headaches, its heartaches, they
age me.
1t preparest an empty pocketbook
before me, in the presence of my hon.
est creditors, who so nobly loaned me
money with which to pay my college
fees.
1t anointest my head with the oil
of mental worry.
My cup runneth over.
Surely mercy must be extended to
me all the years of my teaching:
And 1 will dwell in an institution
of charity forever where the expense
Of my upkeep is greater than that of
my teaching salary.

OS, more than $4,0O0,OO0 less than
the 1881 General Assembly estimated
they would be, and about $4,000 900

the preceding fiscal year were $12,-

than for the past year. The increase
in rates by the 1881 General Assem-
bly,, made necessary by taking over
the schools and roads, caused the in
creased receipts, even though they are
still 100000 less than was expect
ed.
Because of higher rates, income tax
ESQ were about $1,250,000 more than
the year before; franchise taxes about

Such a program would last until

with sufficient time t o allow for the
proper manufacture and aging of alco-
holic beverages in this country. The
manufacturing of our own light wines
and beers need not be delayed by this
program, and the state and city would
be accorded the right to impose an ad-
ditional tax for the purpose of light
ening state and city taxes.

THE PERRY PLAN
In outlining his plan, Mr.. Perry
said:
"I have submitted this plan as an
idea for the government to obtain SUI
ficient revenue to operate its business
WITHOUT ANY OF OUR PRES
EMIT NATIONAL TAXES:
1.-THE cost of our Federal Govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1892, amounts to the total of
approximately four and three-quarter
billions of dollars, an increase of 10
per cent wei the preceding year. OF
course, this paralyzes business and rem
ders the unemployment of labor inn
possible.
Foreign nations owe our govern
ment around fifteen to eighteen bill
lions of dollars. They cannot pay us
in CASH. If they paid us in commo-
dities, in competition with u own
industries, it would paralyze our in
dustries.
I'VE can collect it in the following
manner: For the next five years or SO
these foreign nations can, and doubt
less would be willing, to pay us two
billion dollars annually in alcoholic
beverages-Great Britain with its
Whistles, Gin and Ales-France with
its Champagne and iWines-Italy with
it's Yarmouth and Wines-Germany
with its Light Wines and Beers-Spain
with its Sherry-Cuba with its Bac-
cardi, etc., etc.
Net Profit and Effectiveness
1.-The u. S. Government under a dis
pensary system similar to the Canadian
System could sell these beverages al
2 IL times the purchase price, ap-
proximately five billion of dollars. Tht
cost of transportation, insurance, haul
age and distribution would probably
be around 20 per cent, or one billion
dollars, leaving four billion dollars net
revenue to the U. S. Government
which would do the following:
