STATE PRESS GETS I WET WIRES CROSSED Create Impression That No Repeal Candidate Filed - In Transylvania Much confusion was caused here Sunday when a Raleigh Associated Press story was read in the Sunday papers to the effect thnt no candi date for repeal had filed in Transyl vania county, thus ceding this and) three other counties to the dvy column without contest. It is nott known how the misinfoi mation was] given the Associated Press. Check up at the office of the beard of elections revealed that Kck Sims duly filed petition for his candidacy as dot out in a news story to that effect in The Transyl vania Times of October 12. at two o'clock on the afternoon of October 7, 200 names being noted on the pe tition filed by Mr. Sims. Mrs. Jean Adams Haynes, candidate for re tention of the 18th amendment filed several days prior to the seventh, with 187 names attached to her peti tion. State papers of Monday afternoon and Tuesday carried a story correct ing the impression, after the story had been corrected by The Transyl vania Times through the Associated Press and the United Press. Henderson Says Press and Magazines Largely Owned By Brewery Interests - ■ ■ ■ i—.I ■ — Editor The Transylvania Times: The story of the official career in this county of the candidate for re nenl is very interesting. It sounds like the career of Gus Aiken back in the good old days of the saloon and government distillery, when he was raiding every crick and branch nnd c ' e ami dark corner, cutting up stills nnd knocking heads out of whiskey barrels and turning over ma-h; and “single-handed and alone’’ rushing into a great still house, as pretentious as any ordinary govern ment distillery, and while the in mates rushed for their guns, turn ing ovr whiskey barrels and strik ing a match to lightwoo I splinters and rushing 1 Ut ini i the dark while , bullets whistled about his head. Y.s. the match and light wood nnd whi .key gained headway until the flames were leaping into the tree tops n.y "Gus” made good Ids escape across the hill. It was exciting in deed, and dangerous, but “Gus” did it for the money nnd was quite will ing for others to "comfortably lounge by their firesides” if they liked. It was freely whispered around in those days that the revenue officers would often cut just a few holes in a still so it could be easily patched, so thoy could get pay for cutting if again. And I have heard it hinted in those old days that the officers often carried a jug to keep their . own "brandy collars” well supplied while they were pouring out “sucli excellent brew” in the branches And it was charged that ccrtnir blot.-kaders kept th" officers supplied and wov- m t molo'-*cd. Vy ■ ” ■ <■ ", tb v tried or not t!i; , d ■ n’t I ■■ tip the kIn,: o': nod they didn’t cut out moonshine No sir. tho law was “non enforced and nun enforcnblo.” And I am perfectly certain from my own observations that in those I moonshine-blockade-saloon days there ' were a hundred public drunks to |one after tho Eighteenth Amendment was adopted. Certainly until recent ly after the brewers of Europe and i America flooded tho country with their millions to buy the public press and carry on propaganda to deceive the people !>y printing the truck j b ad< of deceptive and misleading, and often absolutely false propagan da. and refusing to permit anything written to refute such garbled re ports of conditions and violations of the prohibition laws. - Ami it seems that we are a gulli bio people, ready to accept as g"n uir*'* anything we see in print, un-J less srme one follows it with n de-j nial. and brings in the evidence of, its falsity. And so wo hear people asking: “If it is not true why don’t] somebody answer their argument, and show that it is untrue?” The answer is, because the As sociated Press and popular niaga^ zines are largely and practically the pre perty of the brewers, and they I r efuse to carry in their columns the 'writings cf eminent scientists nnd j competent literary characters of note, together with statistical reports and 'court records and the experiments 1 rml observations of the medical pro i Cession that take off the veneer and 1 paint from their vermin-infested and I moth-eaten paper vehicles and show them up as slow and vulnerable ns | shell-less snails. The evidence isi abundant to v' fote the contentions of; ,v«t , , o masses of thej .

COMMISSIONERS SET TAX PAYMENT RULES SVill Accept Bonds On 1932 and Previous Year Tax In Lump Sums The board cf county commissioner* in meeting Saturday ordered Tax Collector 0. L. Erwin to refuse to accept bonds in payment of debt ervieo portion of taxes in ‘‘piece meal." That is, the debt service por tion of 19.32 and previous taxes may be paid with bonds as heretofore, but it will be necessary for the bond holder to pay sufficient taxes atone time to take up the entire $1000 bond in debt service instead of depositing Ihe bond with Mr. Erwin and writ ing orders against it for varied amount* as has been the ease hers tofoiv. It was the expressed opinion of board members that inasmuch a* profit was being derived from those having bonds to apply on debt ser. kiee portion of taxes, that it should be their duty to do the necessary al location, instead of putting this ex tra work on the tax collector. Settlement for the 1932 tax levy was made by the county commis sioners in the meeting Saturday af ternoon, report to the board made by Mr. Erwin hvaing been audited >y L. V. Sigmon and Alex H. Kizer. ' The following resolution was pass si by the-board in regard to the pay ment. of debt service portion of taxes in bonds past due: “RESOLVED, that the report of [). I,. Erwin, as Tax Collector for the 1932 taxes is found to he cor rect, except the balance on certain bonds paid by taxpayers on the debt ■erviee portion of their 1932 and previous year taxes and it appearing that the said O. L. Erwin that he has collected $253.1-1 from three cer tain bonds leaving n balance of *740.89 in his hands personally to be applied as directed by the owners of -aid bonds in the payment of their taxes. That said Erwin' be directed to require the owners of said three bonds to immediately make arrange ment* for the payment of $740.89 us the debt service portion of such tax payers as said bond owners may sill interest in said bonds to. “Upon motion duly made and car ried, tlie said O. L. Erwin, tax coi I etor, is directed not to receive any bond or bonds in payment of the debt service povtion of taxes, as pro vided bv the act of the Legislature of 1933, until and unless said bond is accompanied by sufficient tax bill* to take up said $1000.000 as said debt service portion of said taxes and the remainder of said taxc* in cash.” A total of $52,594.70 was reported collected by the tax collector against a levy of better than $147,000.
