THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
In Session Three Days -1907 Taxes
Levied Jury List Revised
F. G. Thomas Appointed Con
stable In Yadkin—Other
Business Transacted.
The County Commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting;
Monday and the session was con
tinued Tuesday and Wednesday
for the purpose of revising the
jury list. This is quite an under
taking as the names of all the tax
payers of the county have to be
gone over. The law says that all
persons who paid their taxes the
previous year before June Ist and
who are of good moral character
and sufficient intelligence shall be
placed in the jury box. It is sur
prising to note that probably not
more than half the tax payers had
settled their taxes on June Ist,
and a great many of these among
the best citizens of the county.
The most important business;
before the commissioners Monday
was the levying of the taxes for
1907. The same levy as last year
was made for the county, which i
was as follows :
State tax, 21
Pension " 41
School " 18
County " 23j{
Poll " 2.00
Special, on property, 25
" on poll, 75
The special tax of 25 cents on
the SIOO valuation of property and
75 cents on the poll is the same as
last year and is made to pay the
second installment on the court
house and jail bonds. Under
Schedule B and C the county
makes the same levy as the State.
The above valuation makes the
regular and special taxes together
amount to 91 3 cents on the SIOO
valuation of property and $2.75
on the poll, which is just what it
was last year.
For Walnut Cove Special School
District the levy was 30 cents on
the SIOO valuation of property and
! 90 cents on the poll.
For Pinnacle Graded School
District it was 25 cents on the
SIOO valuation of property and 76
cents on the poll.
Mr. Jno. T. Moore, of Moore's
Springs, was again before the
commissioners in the interest of
the road in Yadkin township
about which the particulars have
boen printed before. The Sheriff
was ordered to summon a jury and
lay out the road as soon as pos
sible.
Mr. W. D. Thomas was appoint
ed constable in Yadkin township
to succeed Mr. F. G. Thomas, who
recently resigned the position.
The spring term Superior court
claims and insolvent witness
claims were paid as well as the
I promiscuous claims and pauper
allowances.
Mr. Jas. R. Morefield Has Narrow
Escape From Drowning.
While crossing Buck Island
creek last Saturday, Mr, Jas. R.
Morefield, the carrier of Campbell
R. F. D. No. 2, had a narrow es
cape from drowning. The creek
was largely swollen from the heavy
rains, and Mr. Morefield'a horse
was swept down stream a consid
erable distance. Both, man and
animal had to swim for their lives,
and it WHS only after the greatest
difficulty that both reached the
J bank in safety.

When you pay your bills by
check you have these advantages :
1. It is more business-like and
! gives others a more honorable irn
] pressioti of your business abilities
and methods.
I 2. It often saves you money, as
for instance when you pay a bil
jor debt by giving your check, the
person who receives the check
must put his name on the back of
• the check before he can get the
i money on it. This operates as a
! receipt in law. Every fanner or
anybody who pays out money
should always do so by check.
There are other banks larger
than the Bank of Stokes County.
But the statement of tho Bank of
Stokes will compare favorably
with any bank in the state. Some
banks with capital stocks of hun
dreds of thousands, and big sur
plus funds, also have liabilities
reaching up into the hundreds of
thousands. The safest bank is the
bank having the largest clear as
sets in proportion to its liabilities.
