AUTO TAG SALES
STILL CLIMBING
7,18O State Tags Are Sold
Through Saturday, 1,717
Over Last Year

Sale of automobile licenses for the
State for 1887 jumped to high peaks
the first two days of the New Year,
the last two days of the past week,
and reached a total of 7,180 at the
close of business for the day at the
local branch office of the Carolina
Motor Club, in charge of sales in this
section of the State. In announcing
the totals today, Miss Nell Jordan,
manager of the office here, said the
figures represented a gain of LILY
over the 5,463 sold to the same date
a year ago.
The office sold a total of approx
mately 10000 licenses for the entire
calendar year 1886, Miss Jordan said,
and indications now are that the
NUMBER will be considerably in excess
of that for this year. While it is now
a violation of the law to drive a car
without the new 1887 license plates
displayed, there are many cars not
yet equipped, it is thought, and there
is a persistent demand for tags at
the office here.
The office is located in the Vance
theatre building on William street,

to p. m.
At the office of City Clerk S. B.
Burwell it was said at noon that a
total of 674 city licenses had been sold
for 1887. The city's totals are much
less than the State totals handled
here, of course, since the State office
serves several counties in this section
of the State. The city plates go only
to residents of the city proper Last
year around 1900 city licenses were
sold. The price is a flat one dollar for
all makes and types of motor vehicles
Only one tag is furnished, whereas
the State requires two, one for the
front and one for the rear of the car.

all corporations of any consequence.
Assuming that a corporation disre-

HOLDING COMPANY BAN?
Recent Investigations by Senator
Burton K. Wheeler's committee on
railroad financering and by a similar
but more sweeping inquiry on the part
of the recently organized SEC hint at
drastic regulation of holding COM
panies-perhaps an attempt at their
complete suppression.
The thought is that a few thousands
of dollars should not be permitted to
manipulate several billions.
The erstwhile manipulators. of
course, will fight such legislation like
wildcats.
FARM PLANS
Agriculture will be an important
consideration.
Secretary Wallace wants to regulate
its output, to keep it's prices up.
The Supreme Court says he cannot
do it. Well, maybe not, as so describ-
ed, but can't he do it under the name
of "soil conservation?
Crop insurance is another problem.
And farm tenancy? Every farmer
ought to own his own farm, admit
tedly. But is it possible in the face
of present complexities of so-called
civilization?
