Thursdav. February 21. 1929. 1 “FRIENDSHIP* AND GOO D W ILL ” j I Is the greatest attainment of mankind. If you were laid up sick, some of your friends would telephone, oth ers would call, may-be-but, would any of them send or bring you a check? That is just the sort of friend we would like to be to you and yours and hand you a check just when it would be most needed. A man can delay buying overshoes until the weather becomes wet and sloppy. He can put off the purchase of an overcoat till he feels the biting of the wintry winds.. When he is hungry he can step into a case and satis fy his hunger. , , , • " in short, he can get most anything he, wants and • when he wants it except, LIFE INSURANCE. HE MUST ; apply for that before he actually needs it. IJ. B.

MAY BE A TAX REDUCTION j (From Moore County News) Abolishment of rural police, issuance of $50,000 in bridge bonds and fixing the sheriff’s salary at $3500 per year, to in-. • -elude expenses, are provided for in local bills to be intro duced by U. L. Spence, Moore county’s representative in the general assembly. _ Explaining proposed legisla-W tion for the county, Mr Spence writes The Journal, as follows: “I am enclosing you a copy of bill 1 ain which . fixes the salaries of the Sheriff, Recorder and Solicitor of the Recorder’s Court of Moore County. Under the existing law, these salaries are required to %e fixed by the board of County • Commissioners, and it is the wish •»ot this board that these salaries be definitely determined by lav/ and ifehis seems to be the opinion of -everybody. These are elective of fices; and it seems but fair that it be known in advance by persons -seeking just what the salaries will people just what the salaries will fee. “The salaries of county recorder 'aa»d solicitor are named in this bill the amount now being paid anti amounts seem to be reason able and generally ratisfactory. Sheriff’s Salary “I have found more difficulty in what ought to be paid $o the Sheriff and his deputies. The commissioners have heretofore ‘al lowed a salary of $3,000.00 to the Sher iff ip addition to fees- for serv i ice of .process and $1500.00 to the first deputy, but there have been varying amounts for expenses for j automobiles, gasoline and perhaps j a final elimination of these expenses. J There has been likewise the ques-1 Ition of allowance for one office as-1 isistant. By adding $500.00 to the j of $3,000.00 to the Sheriff, J making his salary a total of $3500 and making a provision that this shall include expenses of every na 1 Sniping' ; : - - By Albert T. Reid ‘‘' -* ' 17 '* "" '' 11 . ' ture, it occurs to me that this situa tion is met fairly to the Sheriff’s of fice and to the people. “Rural policemen have heretofore j been employed by the county. They ( have performed their duties, as this act provided, independent of bhe Sheriff’s office. Necessarily law enforcement can be better secured by operation under one directing I head, and this work has been trans | ferred by this bill to the Sheriff’s office and can be done by deputies appointed by the Sheriff, acting un der his control, but no deputy can Ibe appointed with pay from the j county unless it is approved by the ! County Commissioners and the sal ary of the additional deputy can in no case exceed SIOO.OO per month, and this can be stopped at any time in the discretion of the Commis sioners. “It does not seem to be general ly known that there has been a sub stantial saving to the Count by rea son of the act requiring the appoint * ment of a tax collector. The audit of this County’s finances shows that f if the Sheriff had collected the tax i es of 1927, he would have received as commissions for this service un der the general law $11,638.85. The isa laries of the Sheriff and tax col ! lector were paid for that year, with ! a saving in this amount of over ; $2,000.00 to the County as s,hown by the audit. Bridge Bonds “The salary fixed for the Sheriff j and his deputy under the bill in troduced by me will enable the County to continue this saving. “The question of replacement of bridges washed out by the floods is one that must be solved. The peo ple cannot do without these bridges, or some of them, and they cost money. “Taxes are already to high, but the situation, nevertheless, must be met. If a man’s house burns down or washes away he must have an other in some way, and such a sit brides. To pay for these bridges in nation confronts the County as to one year by taxation would impose too heavy a burden on the people. There has been a demand for the issue of bridge bonds in the sum of $100,000.00 for this purpose, but af ter going over the situation careful ly, I came to the conclusion that the County can go very far toward these j replacements with $50,000.00, ahd j j I have introduced a bill for the is- j [sue of bridge bonds in this amount, i but I have provided in the bill that [to the extent that it is necessary to j levy taxes to repay this indebted ; ness, the levy of road taxes for maintenance shall be corresponding ly reduced so that the taxes levied for roads in the future cannot be • He can’t get it when he is sick, He can’t get it wlien he becomes old, He can’t get it wnen he is down and out, He can’t get it when he is on his death-bed. Realizing these facts then, why delay the arrange ments of this important matter and be numbered with those who will perhaps hear the words TOO LATE. Make your plans now in the prime of youth before your shoulders become stooped and your cheeks furrowed and your hair white with the frost of the grave. The NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (84 years old this year) has a contract to cover any re quirement and eaeh contract is covered with GILT EDGE security. The New York LIFE INSURANCE CO. has more than increased. “It so happens that if the general road bill already passed by the house lis ended .nto law T , as it will dhe senate, Moore County will re ! ceive from the additional tax on g. soline each year over $30,000.00 which sum will be applied to county roads to be radually taken over by the State c rto the payment of road bonds of the County as may be 4 de termined by the County authorities, and the taxes in the County on land and personal property must be re duced correspondingly. It will re sult, therefore, that even with this issue of these bridge bonds, our' taxes will be very materially re duced on roads. If the $30,000.00 received from the state should be applied wholly to the payment of bonds it is evident that they would be repaid in two years.” The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section 1. The Judge of the Rec ord’s Court of Moore County shall receive as compensation for his ser vices to be paid by the said County of Moore under existing laws; a sal ary of two thousand dollars per year, payable monthly; Provided, that if said Recorder’s Court sh 11 hereafter, as may be prescribed by law, be given civil juridiction, or changed to a County Court with Civil jurisdiction, as prescribed by law, the board of County Commis sioners of said County, in the dis cretion of said board, may pay to recorder or the judge of said court a sum to be fixed by said board in addition to the salary herein named, payable monthly. r Sec. 2. The County Solicitor or Prosecutor of thq recorder’s court of Moore County shall receive as compensation for his services to be paid by the said Countv of Moore under existing law, a salary of fif teen hundred dollars per year, pay able monthly. Sec. 3. The Sheriff of Moore County shall receive as compensa tion for his services all fees, costs and othei; allowances fixed by stat ute as fees and allowances due to Sheriffs for their services, exclus ive of dommissions or other compen - sation in or connected with the collec tion of taxes, and in addition there to a salary of thirty-five hundred dollars per year, payable monthly, by the said County of Moore under i existing law; and in addition to the i compensation hereinbefore named \ one deputy sheriff of said County, to be appointed by said Sheriff, shall receive as compensation for his services a salary of fifteen. hun - dred dollars per year, payable monthly.

I Demand i : ASPIRIN The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for pain. But it’s just as important to know that there is only one genuine Bayer Aspirin. The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the box. If it says Bayer, it’s genuine; and if it doesn’t, it not! Headaches are dispelled by Bayer Aspirin. So are colds, and the pain that goes with them; even neuralgia, neuritis, aad rheumatism promptly relieved. Get Bayer—at any drugstore— with proven directions. Physicians prescribe Bayer Aspirin; it does NOT affect die heart * i.i. I. .h. mo.l r S..M Monnfoi'tnro nf MnnnaiwHMPldmter of SlHfiTllGUiU PAGE EIGHT
