HALF PRICE BEGINS
ON AUTO LICENSES
Half Year Fees Charged on
All Cars Sold Now, Start
ing Tomorrow

State automobile licenses for 1895
will go on sale here and at As other
offices of the Carolina Motor Clut
over North Carolina tomorrow at halt
price, since July 1 marks the start
of the last half of the year, with the
corresponding reduction in license
plate costs. The slash was announced
here today by w. c. Gates, manager
of the local club.
It is expected that there will be a
mild rush to get new plates. New car
owners and those tuying other cars,
and who may have been holding their
machines in reserve pending the cut
in rates will be in the market for
their license plates.
Sales to date at the Henderson Of
flee of the motor club have reached
the total of 1916 for the 1888 sale.
The figure included 1896 automobiles.
922 trucks and 878 trailers. To the
same date year ago total sales a.
mounted to 1O,149, showing an in
crease of II for 1888.
Plate sales throughout the State
have been far ahead of the same date
last year, a motor club announcement
said. Through June 81 sales were $780,
376 plates, compared with 519,212 for
the same date a year ago, a gain of
1881. Of this total, 85 percent, or
40, 769, have been sold at branch Of
fees Of the motor club.
It was explained that applicants for
licenses at the bargain, rates must
certify that the vehicle has not been
operated this year. Plates may be Sc
cured upon presentation of the white
application card which is mailed from
Raleigh, or if this card is not avail
able, tags may be secured upon pre-
sentation Of the title of the vehicle.
Since the Carolina Motor Club N
1924 inaugurated the system of hand
ling license plates at branch offices
located throughout North Carolina,
almost 100000 plates, valued in ex-
cess of $60,OO0,O00, have been sold. Of
ficials believe that the total sales this
year will pass the 100000 mark for
the first time in the history of the
State. On four other occasions the an
nual registration has exceeded the
100000 mark. The 1897 total was $780,
535 and in 1896 was 512.136.

PLAN FOR COUNTING
OF PIG POPULATION
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, June 3O-Dr. William
Moore, chief of the N. G. Department
of Agriculture veterinary division to-
day announced that four recently en-
ployed registered veterinarians will
tomorrow begin a survey of North
Cardinals hog population looking to-
ward eradication and control of swine
disease.
can effort will be made to place
the veterinarians in areas where or
binary veterinary service cannot be
obtained by the farmers" Moore said
Citing that North Carolina has
more than 1,133,OOO hogs valued a.
$11,123,00O, the veterinary chief de-
clared that this important indus
try has been relatively neglected, in
solar as disease control work is con-
cerned."
Outlining a program of disease con-
troll, Moore said
1. Veterinarians will be sent to the
area where the hog disease losses are
reported and where tn services of Ii
censed veterinarians cannot be OBJ
tanned.
2. Because the extent of cholera in
lection and other costly diseases OF
swine is not known, veterinarians will
first visit the large commercial hog
producing sections to determine the
extent of infection, and following the
veterinary division will plan it's con-
troll program accordingly.

Message
What Is Wrong With The World?
BY REV. J. EvERETTE NEEsE

What Is Wrong With The World?
The answer to the above question
in the mind if the writer, is. It has
forgotten God. The world has turned
its back upon the Supreme Councillor
of the Universe.
Beware that thou forget not tae
Lord thy God, in not keeping His
commandments, and His Judgments
and His statues, which I command
thee this day, lest when thou hast
eaten and are full, and hast built
goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
then thine heart b. lifted up and
thou forget the Lord thy God. for
it is He that giveth thee power to
get wealth. +. Except the Lord built
the house, they labor in vain that
build it: except the Lord keep the city
the Waterman waketh but in vain.''

perpetuate the pro forma civil service
test that now is the first step toward
making postmaster. Term of service is
fixed at eight instead of four years, if
that may be considered an improve
ment, but the Senate retains its right to
confirm appointees.
The order of selection, which here
tofore has been dependent on regula-
tions issued by the President, is fixed
by statute in the Senate bill, and pro-
vides that either one of three rar.king
candidates certified by the Civil Service
Commission may be chosen. This, it is
true, is the customary civil service pro-
cedure for filling positions, but some
Presidents apparently have been bit
suspicious that it was not working out
SO we'll for postmasterships, as both
Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roose-
velt deemed it necessary to issue orders
under which the Understanding candi-
date got the post. 1t might be recalled,
too, that since President Roosevelt issued
mis- order nearly two years ago, the Sem
ate has withheld confirmation of more
than 200 prospective appointees desig-
mated in this manner.
The passage of the Senate bill was pre-
ceded by the displacement of one offered
by Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten
nessee, which proposed, without apology,
to knock out President Roosevelt's order.
In the process, the McKellar plan was
rounoly assailed, but if the new measure
does other than accomplish by indirec-
ton what the Tennessee Senator was
aiming at, that fact has still to be proved.
