Two roads stood clearly marked
today before Maryland Democrats.
One led to Liberalism-the other
TO Conservatism.
And two rival conveyanceS
waited to take them to better
times, as rival hawkers shouted
the advantages Of alternative
routes.

Of q century sat Driver Millard

and a three-State alarm was
broadcast for the fugitives. Shirley

his hand was badly cut when it
struck a shovel as he fell to the
floor.
The fugitives, Sergeant Hall re-

When Shirley fell, unconscious,

ing the twelve months period of the
fiscal year, on which the books just
closed, the State collected more money
than ever before and spent more than
in any previous year of its history.
\ Exact figures will not be known
prior to the middle of July, but Gov
ernor Clyde r. Hoey and State Treas
urer Charles M. Johnson today esti-
mated that the surplus of credit bal
ance" in the general fund will APP
proximate $5,000,OOO, the second lar
gest in history
This does not include the credit bal
ance of about 100000 which was on
hand in the highway fund, but a.
gainst which there are future COM
.mitments. The Highway Department
constantly maintains balance of a.
bout 100000 for use as a revolving
fund in order to obviate the neces-
sity for short term borrowing.
. 1T is a pleasure to announce that
North Carolina is continuing to main
tain it's strong financial position and
is ending aother fiscal year with ap-
proximately $5,000,OOO in cash on hand
in the general fund, in addition to the
balance of about 100000 on hand in
the highway fund, which is earmark-
ed entirely for highway purposes, -
Governor Hoey said. "This is the fifth
consecutive year during which North
Carolina has not had to expend a sin
gle penny for interest on short term
notes or to borrow a dollar for op-
Grating expenses"
Credit Balance Larger.
The credit balance in the general
fund for the fiscs year which ended
June 80, 1887, was slightly larger than
this year, amounting to 1921, 300 The
previous year, ended June 3d. 1886, the
credit balance was $929,927, and the

year before (1S35) it was $712,o44.
Even as far back as June 80, 1884 the
state ended it's fiscal year with a bal
ance of $74,O72 on hand above all ex-
penditures.
The State this year has had the lar
gest operating budget in it's history
with an availability of $79,857, sO1 in
State funds. without taking into con-
sideration several million of Federal
FUNDS allotted to match State funds,
such as Federal aid for roads, forest
fire protection, public health and so
forth. The total budgeted revenue
from State funds, however amounted
to $71,S67,9 1888 without including anv
Federal funds whatever.
Spending Near $4,000, 900.
The total amount expended by the
State during the fiscal year Just end
ed will probably amount to at least
$78,OOO,OOO when the exact figures
nave been determined, including the
amounts received from the Federal
government, according to an estimate
just made by A. j. Maxwell, commits
sloner of revenue. But, in spite of this
large expenditure, the State will still
nave a credit balance of at least S13,-
100000 in the combined general and
highway funds.
The large carry-over in both of
these funds this past fiscal year is
due to the collection of more revenue
than had been anticipated especially
from the income tax, the sales tax
and the State tax on gasoline, ac-
cording to Commissioner Maxwell.
With all the enthusiasm over the
fine condition of the State finances.

from his father, Vinckler Jones' So
this may be the old place known as

An analysis of the figures will show
however, that SO far as net to the
State is concerned, the grand total for
this year will just barely shade 1867,
because of the fact that this years
total includes intangible tax collec-
tons of 1905, 487.48 of which half is
paid back to the counties and NUM-
cipalities from which they were gath

Bill Hight of the Lions, Pitcher Henry
Powell stepped into the box yesterday
for the sixth place clubs and whipped
the Lions 5 to 4 in 11-;cnings, the
longest softball game of the season
here.
Powell was master of the Lions aft
err the third inning, depending largely
on his famous fade away" ball which
had his opponents either hitting in the
dust or popping up to the infield.
He also had his wide sweeping curve
ball working with perfect control
Flawless support was accorded him
by his mates.
The Lions drew first blood in the
second inning, pushing over two runs,
but the Underwriters went ahead in
the third with three tallies Of their
own. Dodd put the Lions ahead again
in their half of this inning with a
home run with one aboard the bases.
The Underwriters produced a run
in the sixth to tie the score, and then
came through in the eleventh inning
with another to win.
The game was a thriller from start
to finish, with Powell, the discarded
pitcher, proving Manager Hight had
erred in judgment in sending him to
another club.

could be started this year on three
South Carolina markets where iniunc-
tions were obtained against it's OPP
Grafton after growers had voted for
government inspection.
Legal contests of the 1885 inspec-
ton act have confronted efforts of
the department to start the service il,
both Carolinas.
The department won a decision in
the fourth circuit court of appeals in
the fight of four of seven Oxford, N
c., warehouses against the service
but the warehouses have until August
4 to perfect an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
Gage said the government would
not move to have the South Carolina
injunctions dissolved until the appeal
period in the Oxford case expired
and by that time it would be too late
to start the service on the three South
Carolina markets involved - Lake
City, Darlington and Famplico-be-
cause of their early opening.
He indicated also the department
preferred to see the Oxford case fin
ally settled before further efforts are
made to expand government inspec-
ton in the flue-cured belts, where it
operated last year on the Goldsborc.
Wendell and Farmville, N. c., mar
kets and at three Oxford warehouses.
Gage said the bureau would con-
centrate this wear on training addi-
tional graders in anticipation of flu
ture expansion ofthe service on the
flue-cured markets. m
In view of this situation, expansion
will be concentrated on other tobac
co growing areas this year.
The service already is operating on
the seven fire-cured markets of Ken
lucky and Tennessee, the five fire
cured markets of Virginia and five
hurley markets.
Studies are now being made, Gage
said, to determine the possibility of
additional referenda on hurley mar
ketS.
The service consists of free but
mandatory inspection of tobacco as
delivered by growers before auctions.
Daily and weekly price reports sup
plement the inspection service.
Gage explained the object of the
combined service was to acquaint the
grower with the grade of each basket
of his tobacco and the current mar
ket price as matter of information
by which he might protect himself
against unfair prices.
