like million. each year Che cost Of
the inspection bureau is. given by Mr.
Maxwell as perhaps 100000 annual
W.. The balance is turned, into the
States general funds and spent just
as any other general revenue money.
Opponents of diversion claim this is
a fragrant case and contends that the
inspection fee" should be reduced to
the point where it does net exceed
cost of the inspection service .
The question came to the fore re-
Gently when Commissioner Maxwell
spoke at a ninth district democratic
rally and praised Congressman r. l.
Doughton for authoring the Ninspec'
ton tax more than two decades ago
while he was a member of the North
Carolina Legislature.
Questioned about the natter with
special reference to the diversion an
gle, Mr. Maxwell pointed out that the
fee was levied long before there was
any question of diversion and wfrer
there was almost mo highway reW
enue. The fee, he continued, walS
never before regarded as a special au7
tomotive tax, and therefore he has
never seriously thought about it as a
question of diversion.
He lauded the work of the inspec-
ton division under the new setup and
said he feels it is serving the state
splendidly.

This is early Monday morning and
1 must hasten so that I can get up
town to work. The Jones boys, all
three, went out home Saturday to help
get up the corn, so they will have to
be early risers to get back ir time for
school.
I Yesterday afternoon Lula (my sis
teri called up for us to. go with them
and mama out to the country for e.
while. So we took some beautiful
Gahlias SO that we could put fresh
flowers on papa's grave, and also q
few for Cousin Eds grave. We walk
ed around the cemetery and reviewed
a lot of the tomb-stones of many Of
our departed kin and friends, and
some we did not know. Then we went
by to see Cousin Linnie and the boys
at Cousin Eds home place.
[, Just as we got there Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Lyon were leaving. And soon

BreedloVe) and Edna Crews) left, as
lSudie and Cousin Ethel had to get
back to Durham before dark. Then
Mr.. and Mrs. Titus Currin arrived.
Cousin Linnie's mother, Mrs. Ward,
o. Greensboro, is staying with her
fol while. Just as we left, E. A. and
Alfred returned from taking Graham
to the bus to return to Elon. They
weae accompanied by Charles Crews.
Charles is the six-foot and some
inca es. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy w.
Crews, and grandson of the late
Cha..les F. Crews.
Joe and family also went with us
out, ID the cemetery, but they came
back yby to- see Cap'n Willie O'Brien,
who LUIS been sick for some time, and
has r,sturned from Duke hospital re-
Gently. Then they went by to see
Bob Bentley, who has been sick for
several, months, but who can get
around just a bit.
We came on home with mama and
took supper and Mrs. Boddie from
across the street came over for
while. laye reached home at bedtime,
end now I am up early this Monday
morning to fix up some kind Of writ

The local paper mas recently been
heralding the news of the arrival of
a fine daughter into the home of a
certain Jones family in town. 1t was
the first such event ever to happen
to that fe.nily, so that was the rea-
son for GREAT publicity and rejoicing
Saturday Mrs. S. o. Parham of
Tabb's Creek, walked up to me and
said, "Mose s, want to congratulate
you on your fine baby girl that I see
so much talk of in the paper" So I

What he has to say in this last act

able to dramatic the town and its
