TAX PENALTY LAW IS!
HELPING PEOPLE PAY!
. . i
Discount Given and Penalties i
Marked Oft* For Immed- j
iale Payment
A number of people of the county j
have been taking advantage of thel
fact that there is a ten percent dis-j
count now in effect on their past due j
taxes if paid at this time and, ef-j
fecting not only a saving of the tenj
per cent, but also ail penalties in \
connection with past due taxes with
the exception of ths $1.70 sales cost.
The matter is explained like this ? j
Sam Jones owes $100 1930 taxes: j
penalties on this amount of 1930 [
taxes as of July 1st would be $15.33,!
plus, of course the $1.70 sales fee, i
the property having been sold in j
1931 for taxes and bid in by the
county. Under the Re'ief Bill passed J
by the legislature, Mr, Jones can j
now pay this 1930 tax for $91,70, ef-j
fecting a total saving of $24.63 a?(
under the old law. {
In other words, the original taxi
assessment of $100 has accrued |
$15.33 in penalties, which is now:
wiped out provided payment is made j
at this time, pius 10 percent dis- ?
count from the original assessment, j

>ALES TAX GOES INTO
EFFECT SATURDAY
? i<
Merchants in Brevard and overj*
he entire state are endeavoring in j
last minute effort to have the three;
er cent sales tax "put off, ki led or
topped" in any way before July 1st,
t which time it goes into effect.
However, A. J. Maxwell, stat?
ommissioner of revenue, in a state
lent to the merchant's association
'uesday, asserted that the law was
alid in every respect as passed by j
he last session of the legislature, .
nd that with exemptions as allowed )
y law, the sales tax wou'd become ;
ffective July 1st.
Business men of the state feel that
h* tax will work a hardship on
hem and the people who buy, and
urther that it will cause many peo
le to buy in South Carolina, where
he sales tax is not in. effect.

Beginning today, special trains
with pullman cars will begin arriv

here to enjoy four, six and eight
weeks of coo!, healthful vacation un
der supervision of people who have

building.
All camps of Transylvania are

engineering plans available, and are
accorded prominence by state and
national health boards.
Of the 11 organized summer camps
located in Brevard and Transylvania
county, ? five are for boys an4 M*1
I for girls. Practically the same stan
' dard equipment is found in all of the
camps, including lake, lodge, sleeping

cheiy and ? riflery, and a certain

part of camp life. The Sabbath day
in all the camps is fittingly ob

Brevard Institute Site Selected
For Berea Type Methodist School
Decision was made Monday by the
educational commission of the West
ern North Carolina Conference of
the Methodist church,. South, to es
tablish the junior coeducational col
lege at Brevard.
Decision v/as reached by the board
headed by Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon
after several weeks of study of var
ious locations that had been offered
for tfce college, chief of which were
Brevard and Weaver, with th? line
property of Brevard Institute which!
offered by the Woman's Council of!
the Board of Missions of the Metho-i
dist church debt free, being deciding!
factor for Brevard.
In addition to the Institute prop-'
erty, valued in excess of $200,000,:
donations by citizens and groups in
this community of land and values,
to the extent of nearly ?50,000 prov-i
ed conclusively to the commission '
that people of Transylvania wanted I
the college located here and were'
wi ling to give it the support that1
would insure its successful operation. ;
It is not known the exact date'
for opening of the college, Bishop |
Mouzon giving out a statement tot
newspapers on the night following
the meeting that the college would
probably not open until the fall of 1
1934. However, leaders in the move-j
ment to bring the college to Brevard
are planning to carry facts before
the bishop setting forth that for best
interests of the people here and of
the proposition as a whole, the school
should open this fall.
Property of the Brevard Institute
ncludes an administration building,
t girls' dormitory, boys' dormitory,
i fine dairy barn, manual art6
juilding and several cottages, |to
;ether with a farm of over one hun
ired acres that ranks among the best j
n Western North Carolina.
The old Taylor Ha'l, abandoned
several years ago as a dormitory,
s to bo reconditioned by people ?of
he community, this building when (
cmpleted to add space to care ;
or more than 75 students. This work i
rill be done in the main by work- ] (
nen of the community who are to j
lonate their services, much of the , |
naterials also to be donated by bus- j |
ness concerns of the county, while j '
ictual cash expenditures will be ,
aken care of by public spirited ,
leople who feel that they can just
y "give 'til it hurts" in order that |
he fine institution may be located (
.ere. I ,
The entire community, with hard.ll
y an exception, has responded with 1 1
;reat spirit to the plan to show to ' t
he educational commission com- 1 ]
lunity interest with the county and j
own governmental bodies doing their It
art in a fine way. i i
3ishop Mouzon, head of educa- ' j
ional activities of the Southern j;
[Methodist church states that the col-[
[lege will be "different from other!
institutions in this part of thei
world." It will feature a self-help
program by which it. will be possible!
for energetic boys and girls who!
wish to earn at least a part of]
their expenses at college to do so.
The college will offer a standard
two-year co lego course so that a
student, upon completing the work
here, m^y enter any other college
desired as a junior. It will also of
far opportunities for studying man
ual arcs, agriculture and industries.
While r.o definite announcement
has beea made as to actual propor
tions of the school, which will bt
operated on the Uerea plan. Bishop/
Mouzon stated while here several)
weeks ago that this college would j
be equal to anything of its kind in
North Carolina or for that matter, !
in the eastern states.
To say that Brevard and Tran
sylvania county people are happy
over the fact that the college is to
locate here is putting it very mild.
Enthusiasm and new life have been
evident since first announcement of J
the decision of the commission was;
posted on the front of The Times;
building late - Monday afternoon <
when a telegram from Rev. J. H.J
West and J. H. Pickelsimer, com-j
mittee acting for the community n
brought the g!ad tidings. J
Business and community leaders;
feel that Brevard is taking a grepti
step forward and that addition of; '
the college is culmination of dreams j
that had their inception in the mindsl
of the Rev. and Mrs. Fitch Taylor,!
who started in a sma'l way, with!
limited means and great faith in the)
Creator, a school which later grew ' ]
into the Brevard Institute, and is
now to become a junior_coilege of
the type that will bo a moving factor
for great good.
Brevard Institute, after being in j
operation for 38 years, closes ^n July 1
28th of this year, t.lie Woman's
Council to devote their interests to;j
jpevation of a school of similar type jj

:he Institute property to the educa-jj
:icnal commission was made by th?
Woman's Council several months r
ago when it was decided that Bre- j j
,-ard Institute would be closed.
Leaders in the movement to bring }
;he college here have received many/
!omp'im.entary messages from lead- J

SUBSCRIBERS ASKED TO PAY UP THEIR II
ACCOUNT WITH NEWSPAPER AT OftCEj '
I r
Several people have come in
.the office within the past few
days and renewed their sub
scription to The Times, while
letters containing money orders
and checks from subscribers in
distant points have also been re
ceived. This in response to plea ?
made last week that all sub- }
scrib?rs in arrears pay up be
fore July 1st in order that the
list of Times subscribers could
be brought up to date.
However, there are several i
hundred who are still in ariesrs,
these readers working a hard
ship on the paper in several I
ways.
At one dollar per year, there
is small margin to operate upon,
and when a subscriber fails to
pay up promptly when notified
it works a hardship on the man
agement of the paper. Then too,
advertisers demand that lists of
papers in which their space is j'1
bought be paid up to date, they j ?
taking the view that unless a j ^
reader is wi ling to pay for a |
paper he is not reading it with I
interest sufficient to justify the
advertiser buying spacf. With
out a good run of advertising t
no paper can successfully ope- : ,
rate. '
No newspaper likes to cut a , ^
bunch of names from its list, , a
and The Times is hoping that all j a
subscribers who have been noti- ; .
fied during this month will re- ;
mit at once ir- order that our i .
family of readers may remain !i
intact. The Times has an excep- iy
tionally large liit of subscrib- j?
ers, possibly a larger percent
age per popn'ation than any j A
weekly newspaper in this sec- j |
tion of the state, and the man- |
agement will regret stopping any j r
readers paper. May we have ? i
your renewal now?
