A Turning Point

Increase Of $500 in The salary
Of the States assistant budget d.
rector to the figure Of $4,000 a
year may be Of greater significance
than is evident on the surface. The
new figure pits the budget chief
in the top brackets and ranks him
with the chairm5, of the state
Highway Commission and only $500
under the governor. North Carolina
has never paid its governor, at least
in modern times, enough to live on,
though admittedly no man seeks
the office for its financial returns,
but rather for the honor and the
prestige involved and the oppor-
tunitv TO serve - sometimes as a
stepping stone to higher things.
The office Of assistant director Of
the budget is one Of the toughest
in the whole category. The title of
"assistant' is somewhat of a mis-
homer by reason of the fact that he
actually does the JOB, though the
law makes the governor himself the
top man, on the theory that his is
the responsibility for managing the
States affairs, and particularly It's
finances.
The present assistant director is a
man Of much more than ordinary
ability, as is testified by the fact
that he has of late received several
offers from private business con-
Germs at an annual income reputed-
ly at least half as large again as
even his ceW salary. =. is -ecoz-

Plantbed Burns
At Ellis Farm

About 400 square yards of plant
bed were burned over at the farm
Of Wilson O. Ellis, on the Loulsburg
road at 1855 o'clock yesterday. Fire
originated in a patch OF woods, but
had spread to the plantbed when
firemen arrived.
If plants cannot be replaced, dam
age was estimated at $4,000, price
which the tobacco crop would prob
ably bring.

BOOK REVIEW
BY w. G. ROGERS

FANFARE ron ELIZABETH.
by Edith Sitwell Macmillan:
S2.50).
On Sept. 10, 1888, the clristen-
ling of three-day old Elizabeth,
who would become Engian6's
great queen, was attended by
these, among others. Henry, Mar
/ uis of Dorset: Henry, Marquis
Iof Exeter, and Lord Rockford, all
three of whom would be behead-
Jed; Cranmer, who would die a
martyr; the Dowager Marchion-
ess of Dorset, who would lose
three sons on the scaffold: Lady
Mary Howard, who would help
her own brother to his death.
Anne Boleyn was mother, and
there would be later Anne;
Catherine, however, was queen,
and there would be two more
Katherines, plus Jane Seymour.
To avert civil war at his death,
Henry badly needed a son, and
the diligence with which he tried
to fulfill this high obligation to
the state has been both praised
and blamed ~. Miss SitWell
praises. He was aided by six
wives not only in succession but
also overlapping, but his very in
dustry baked him, and from ex-
cess devotion to his duty
arose his disability, the disease to
which he succumbed..
The probably virgin queen
grew up in or near court in
which her kind was a CONSPICUOUS
exception. From the most ornin-
Gus examples she observed the
extreme hazards of love and pas
sion, and among other unwoman-
~ habits which she acquired be-
fore she reached her teens was
that of keeping her mouth shut.
1t is the background to Eliza
beth's reign that preoccupieS Miss
Sitwell.
She writes not only perceptive-
ly but also beautifully. She brings
you the air, smell, sound, color of
the exciting period, the music of
the virginals and lutes played by
Katherine Towards Henry Man
OK and Anne Boleyn's Mark
the fearsome syllables
applied to the dread plague:
''Neopolitan. scurf'' or ''pyning of
the pox'; the lovely tunes:
''Flaunting Two" Long Flat
Foot of Garioch," 'Bace of Vorra-
gar; recipes for distilling "the
sweet water of roses, lavender,
mace, cloves, cypress roots, yeI-
low Sanders, benzoin, storax, cal
anime, musk"
Henry has been the subject of
innumerable books, and this is
the best Of the recent ones

SEE IMITATION SIGNS

Last month, the Federal
Reserve Board, in a public
statement, opposed any
further tax cuts for the time
being and urged a govern
mental spending polio Y
along the line of prudent
economy"
Pointing out that the ma
tional debt, which was
S280,OO0,OO0,000 in Febru-
airy, has been cut by about
$1O,000,0OO,0 the Board
insists that the need is not
for "a balanced budget"
but for as great a surplus
of receipts over expenditures
as possible, with further re-
auctions in the national
debt.
Taking cognizance of ex-
listing economic conditions,
the report pointed out that
black markets, inventory ac-
cumulations and specula-
ton. particularly in fields
like real estate and securi-
ties, not covered by price
control, "are the customary
symptoms of an inflationary
spiral which can end only
in collapse and deflation."
