Raleigh.-The. new debt of the
State of North Carolina was re-
duced by $17,126,s47.57 during
the two and one-half year period
from January /, 1888 through June
80, 1885, Governor Ehringhaus
announced today from figures COM
piled by Charles M. Johnson, State
treasurer.
The gross debt of the State on
January l, 1888, when Governor
Ehringhaus began his four-year
term, was $1S5,139,o0o. The s1o,-
942, 577.25 in the sinking fund

On last June 80, the gross debt
of the State was $170,54S,000, and
subtracting the $13,47S,424.s2 in

of the all-expense tourist traffic
with the attractions our state has
to offer to the sightseers," Mr.
Etheridge said. ''We have failed in
the past to focus national attention
to our wealth Of historic, scenic
and general arrracrions in North
Carolina, but this tour will help
to put our state forward with those
who are influential in routing tours.
II know of no investment that
should bring greater returns to our
people than through the promotion
of tourist travel into North Caro-
lima. Something of what our state
is missing through failure to cult
vate this remunerative industry is
seen through the report that Of
some $7S,ooo,ooo spent by tourists
in all-expense tours in 1888 ar
ranged by group of agencies,
none was brought to North Caro-
lima. We hope this trip will be the
first step toward changing this
situation. The tour will touch all
parts of North Carolina and is one
that it would be we'll for every res
ident to take to gain a proper ap-
probation of the progress and at
fractions that the state has to Of

Motion Before Supreme

Monday; Hope For
Hearing Nov. 18th

Washington.-Solicitor Genera
Stanley Reed said tonight the gov

or so for speedy decision on the
constitutionality of agricultural
processing taxes.
The Supreme Court agreed yes
terday to review Boston circui,
court decision which held the take.
invalid in the Hoosac Mills case.
Under ordinary circumstances
the case would not be reached for
oral argument for two or three
months, taking its place on th<
calendar behind nearly 100 case.
which the tribunal agreed to review
before last summers recess.
Reed, however, said thu govern
ment's motion requesting the court
to advance the hearing would be
made as soon as it can be printed,
in the hope that the court will rule
on it next Monday.
Justice department lawyers are
understood to have indicated a de-
sire to set the case for November
IS. On that date, the court will
begin its fnsi week of November
arguments under its plan of hear
ing arguments two weeks and re-
cessing two weeks.
The court usually grants govern
ment requests to move up cases. 1t
did so last spring in the Schechter
poultry case, when NR-A was held
unconstitutional.
Officials of both the AAA and
the Justice department, it was said,
are anxious for a speedy settlement
of the issue because of numerous
injunction suits in the lower courts,
which have tied up the collection
of processing taxes
Although the normal revenue
from such taxes has averaged more
than $4o,o00,o0o a month, they
dropped off to $31,ooo,ooo last
June, SIS, 100000 in July, and
$13, 100000 in August.
The taxes bring in more than
$5O0,0OO,OOO annually to the treas
ury and are paid out as benefits
to farmers participating in crop ad-
justment programs.

Seen
For Old Folk

Washington.-Supremacy of age
over youth in business and govern
ment a quarter century hence was
forecast by the national resources
committee
1t reported that if present trends
continue the United States can
look forward to having a stable
population in 1860 with twice as
many citizens of more than 80
years of age as there are now. The
number of young people under 20
years old was expected to decrease
in the same proportion.
7 An increase in life expectancy
and decrease in the specific birth
rate were considered in reaching
the conclusion.
The population trend was indi-
Gated by studies made by some of
the State planning boards and by
Warren Thompson and P. K.
Whelpton of the Scripps Founda-
ton for Research in Population
Problems.
Looking into the future, the
committee envisioned decreased
demand for primary educational fa-
cilities in some parts Of the nation
and foresaw changes to quieter
forms of recreation. Greater shifts
in occupational trends also were
expected. sAAa
The studies, based on the con-
/! tinuance of present immigration
laws and general trends within the
nation, said Future population dis
tributon will depend in large
measure upon the development OF
the country's natural and industrial
resources.
The indications were, it added,
'that occupational characteristics
of the population will change and
that as the mechanization of agri-
culture and industry increases, op-
portunites for employment in such
}. new fields as education, conserva-
ton, recreation and service occu-
pations will increase.
