GOOD RAINS AND
FINE CROPS
FORECLOSURE SALE.
The reports coming from practical
ly all sections of Johnston County
are to the effect that rains have
been plenteous during the first part
of this week and that crops of all
kinds are flourishing. Generally
apeaking, there has been no serious
drouth in this county this year, al
though there are sections where
crops have suffered for lack of
moisture. But in other counties near
by we hear of serious damage to
crops by dry weather. In talking to
some parties from Wake and Wayne
counties a few days ago they said
that there were large sections in
some crops would be almost a
failure for want of rain this year
as it is now too late for rain to
sufficiently revive early crops to in
sure anything like a normal yeld if
rain should come in plenty.
The section in and around Selma
bas not suffered materially for
lack of rain except garden vege
tables and early corn, and these
have greatly revived since rain
came.
Sheriff Barber, whose old home is
in the section near Ben.son, told us
a few days ago that never in his
recollection had he seen finer pros
pects for crops in that section.
We took a trip through Cleveland
township not long ago and found
the most promising outlook for good
yield- in that section of the county
that the land in that section has
produced in many a day.
Unless some unforeseen thing
happens from now on, Johnston
county will reap a bumper crop of
corn, cotton and tobacco this year.
Early tobacco began ripening pre-
maturily, but since the copious rains
have come it seems to he taking on
new life and appears less ready of
the barn each day.
That whereas, under and by virtue
of the powers contained in one cer
tain Mortgage, executed by R. L.
Moore and wife, Leone Moore, dat
ed December the 12th, 1926, and re

NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND
Our law-making bodies are be
coming past master.- in figuring out
ways and means to dodge responsi
bility for increasing taxes which the
public has to pay.
A legislative measure will he
broadcast to the public as a tax re
duction mea.sure for the people, but
pull aside the curtain and see what
the real truth generally i-.
The net result of most tax re
duction measures is a shifting of
taxes from one class of voters to
' another, hiding taxes under a new
name, or the collection of more
taxes through splitting up the levies
in various smaller assessments.
The reason for contsantly climbing
net tax collections is obvious—thous
ands of new laws, a great percent
age of which dernand increased'
public payrolls and expenditures.
As an example of tax camouflag
ing, take the Federal 3 per cent tax
on electricity which wa- formerly
added to the customer’s electrict
bill. This was in line with special
taxation such as the gasoline tax,
the tax in bank checks, the Federal
tax in automobiles, etc. Congre.ss, to
make some kind of a tax reduction
showing for electric consumers, has
shifted the 3 per cent electric tax
from the user to the company. In
other words, the ^ per cent must
come out of the scant earnings of
the inve.stor.
This hides the tax from the gen
eral public, although it will .-til
continue to pay the tax in one of
three ways, namely: It must he de
ducted from the earnings of the
million- of inve.-tors in the power
indu.-try, thereby reducing their
previous income; or it will he re
flected in increased rates to cover
this tax; or it will prevent a re
duction of rates which might other
wise have been secured.
Switching this tax from the
electric user to the .security holder
is on a par with switching the gaso
line tax from the buyer of gasoline
to the oil company.
The politician- know that the
electric company cannot add the 3
per cent tax to its bills unless it
goes through the long process of
securing a rate increa.se from each
of the regulatory commissions in the
various states They al o know that
no such regulatory price re.striction-
apply to other sales taxes, such as
on gasoline, where companies af
fected can add the tax immediately
to the consumer’s hill.
Under and by virtue of the pow
ers of sale conferred in and by a
certain mortgage deed executed and
delivered by J. A. Brown and wife,
Mittie J. Brown, on the 10th day
of February, 1915, to 'W. T. Moore
and duly assigned by the said W. T.
Moore to J.. W. Brown; said mort
gage deed being recorded in Book
No. 2 at page 62 in the office of
the register of deeds for Johnston
County, default having been made

due and unpaid, the undersigned as
