This is a vital matter if the realty owners cf this State are to continue in posses sion of their property. Tax sales are multiplying rapidly and in a few years, at the pres ent rate, most of the real es tate in North Carolina will pass out of the hands of its present owners, who will be rendered homeless and penniless. Tax reform in Noivh Carolina must ecme about at once or the State is going to be ruined. No defin ite forms of relief have been settled upon as yet, and this Stat meeting is called for the purpose of getting our heads together and devising plans to be presented to the Legislature whereby the real estate owners of North Carolina may save themselves from their utter undoing. If, for any reason, an organization cannot be per fected 011 the 28th, we want as many tax-payers as possible from Stokes county to come anyway, and they will all be seated as delegates. Appro priate speakers will be present who will lay the existing tax situation in North Carolina be fore you. We want to then take action for the benefit of the coming Legislature."
