Is.r Folk,:
|*ve received another letter from a
girl whose name is Sue. Shets upset
and undecided as to what she ought to
do, for iter tianee is saving every penny
that he can. so's to build a house and
own it, which is splendid of a man. but
he will not think of marriage 'til his
house is under way. ’til he knows he has
the money in his hank that he can pay.
Prom his present rute of earning she
must wait through weary years, it s a
thought that's far from pleasing, it's the
cause cf all her tears.
go she writes in desperation and she
asks what she shall do. then she signs
herself a weary lonely, broken-hearted
Sue. And my answer is get busy, make
that stubborn man see light, for a house
can be demolished or be burnt up over
night. There are houses by the mil
lions, but the homes are mighty few.
There's a thought that's worth some
thinking, pass it cn, unhappy Sue.
What's a bouse but wood and plaster
with some walls of stone or brick ? I
What’s a house to married couples when
their minds and hearts are sick? What’s
a house to either party if the other one
should die? What's the use of sitting
waiting for a distant by and by?
You can build a home on nothing, all
it needs is love that's true, with ambi
tin, grit and courage. Make him see
it, little Sue.
Cordially yours—T. V. R.
SAVING MORE MONEY.
At the Conference of the Eastern Reg
ional Savings Banks division of the Am
erican Bankers Association held the oth
er day, it wa» pointed out that the amount
of savings of the American people last
year, including deposits made in savings
banks, invest meats in securities and mort
gages. etc., was estimated at $12,000.-
000.000, or 59 per eeat. mare than in the
preceding year. During the year ended
on June 30 last, the deposits in the sav
ings banks of the United States increas
ed from to $1,987,000,000, |
the number of depositors from 12.588.907
to 13,340,382. and the average balance of
each depositor from $572,71 te $50&95.
Prosperity and thrift are rejected also in
the large net increase in life insurance,
whieh amounted last year to nearly $7,-
000,000.000. The amount of new insur
ance written during the year was 22 per
cent, greater than that in 1922 aud 17
per cent, ggegter thin that » 1989, tie

WHUK WILL THEY JLMF?
There is every reason to believe that
..many Republicans are going to "jump'’
jwhen it comes time to vote in the next
.general eiectiou. Progressives already
have given every indication that they are
not satisfied with present conditions and
they are going to demand action.
The Kinston Free Press says -“the se
lection of Representative Theodore Bur
ton, of Ohio, as temporary chairman of
the Republican National Convention to
be held in Cleveland in June, shows quite
dearly that the conservative dement of
the party is going to have its say. The
trend is that the Progressives are not go
ing to hold the reins. Whether they are
going to jump the game or not, of coarse,
remains to be seen.’’
: We believe the selection of the Demo
cratic nominee will determine just what
the progressive* are gping to do. : If the
Democrats select! , p> progressive, upon
whose record there is ho blemish, these
dissatisfied Republi thus, 'who see there is
no chance for their wing of the party,
will “jump'-’ to the Democrats. If, on
the other baud, the Democrats put up a
candidate who cannot command the sup
port of these progressives it is very prob
able that they will take action among
themselves.
A conference for Progressive Political
Action has already- been called for July
fourth, a date after both major party
conventions, and at this conference these
progressives may determine where they
are going to “jump.”

(Jreentsboro, April 30y—Adjournment
of Suprior Court came in a drainatie
manner yesterday afternoon about 5:30
o’clock when Parks Johnson, whi’e ou

charge of highway robbery, fell in a
fit of epilepsy and rolled over on the
floor between the witness chair and the
jury. box.
Several deputies rushed forward and
grabbed Johnson, who is considerably
over hipsvfeet high and who weighs more
than »W %: He tossed deputies
and ethers whoassisted them, full grown
men. as if they had been • sacks of
feathers. Ha foamed at the month and
roars of auguish came from his lips.
Several jurors, who were trying the
case, started, it seemed, to jump over the
back of the jury box. Spectators leaped
to their feet and everything was in an
uproar.
When informed that Johnson was
subject to the fits and that it usually
took about an hour for him to recover,
Judge Laue ordered that court be ad

and to provide and support free public ]

What Froportluß ft The** Taxes are ,
Bone to Taxes ou <
For the year 1922. the total value of I
all taxable property in the State was :
two billion, five huudrand and seventy- i
six million, three hundred snd thirty- i
eight thousand, and tour hundred and I
twenty-six dollars ($2,576,338,420.00).
Os this total, one billion, seventy-one i
million, one hundred and eighty-nine i
thousand and nine hundred and fort-four 1
dollars ($1,071,189,944.00) was fisted as '
lauds. I*ropprty listed as lands includ- 1
ed not only farm lands, but timber and ■
mineral lands, and also included the 1
value of nU factories, power plants, and <
all industrial enterprises looted outside i
of incorporated towns. All of these 1
classes of property together represent 1
forty-one per cent, of the total value of 1
all property. This means that of ev- I
ery dollar of taxes collected from prop
erty in the counties for county purposes
forty-one cents cade from taxes on prop- 1
erty listed as lands and fifty-nine cents i
from taxes on other classes of property.
This .of course, means an average of 1
all the counties.
Where Are Land Taxes Spent?
Every penny of taxes collected on '
lands is spent, in the county in which ’
it is collected.
By Ilian Are Lands Valued and Land
Taxes Levied?
All property is valued by local officers
appointed in the county where the prop
erty is located, and all taxes are levied
by the local county officers elected by!
the jkcople in every eouuty, and the 1
money is appropriated and spent by the
county officers.
What Service Is Performed for the
Benefit of People of State for Which
No Tax on I .and is Levied?
No tax is levied on land for any part
of the support of the State government.
All the agencies of the State government
are supported by sources of revenue
other than taxes on lands. These serv
ices maintained for the benefit of the
people of the State, including the laud
owners, of course, are:
The Judiciary system of the State.
The salaries and expenses of all de
partments of the State government, in
cluding the Department of Public liu-
I struetion.
1 The support of ail State Colleges for
boys and girls.
The support of teacher training
schools.
The support of hospita's for insane,
epileptic, tubercular, feeble-minded ami
for crippled children.
The support of training schools for
wayward boys and girls.
The support of instituting* for Hie
deaf, dumb and blind.
The payment of pensions lo Confed
erate veterans and widows.
The equalizing fund of one million,
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($1,250,000) per year to equalize the
public schools of the weaker counties
with the wealthier counties.
For all the expenses of the State
Highway system, including interest on
all State public road bonds and sink
ing funds set aside annually to retir?
them when due, and including ull the
I expenses of maintaining all the high
ways in the Btate highway (system.
Tile State collects 1 for all these pqr
peres in 1923 thriteen million, nine hun
dred and thirty-three thousand an-J six
bundled and sixty-throe dollars $13,033,*
633.00) no part of which came from
taxes on lands or property of *uv kind.
Wliat is the Proportion of Total State
an* County Taxes Paid to Lands?
Lands pay no part of any of the
taxes received by the State government,
but if we combine the total taxes col
lected by county aud State governments.
| we find that lands, including timber mvd

t and For What Purjteses
tories located outside the corporate
limits pay twenty-nine per cent, of State
and eouuty taxes.
Has the Proportion of Taxes Paid to
Lands Increased or Docreosed?
In 1888 land* ’represented the same
proportion of the tital value of all tax
able property in this State that they do |
today—forty-one per cent.—and at that
time lands pa(d it only forty-one per
cent, of all county taxes a» they do
now, but also their rateable proportion
of State taxes oe well. Taxes of «U
kinds have bepn increasing year after
year to provide better schools, colleges,
hospitals, public hgihways, etc. These
increased taxes have been demanded by
the people who amended the Constitu
tion to provide better schools, and who
approve, almost without exception, the
improved public roads. While taxes
havQF-beefl largely increased, it has. been
the constant and continuing pnrpose of
Democratic adnpnistratiin in North Car
ol na to provide hew sources of revenue
to relieve lands of an undue proportion
of tayes, with the result that while
taxes of aH kinds are higher, lands are
paying twenty-nine per cent, of the total
today where they formerly paid firtjr
one per cent .of the tital.
Han the State Taken Any Sources *f
Revenue Fgom the Counties?
It has not. The State has been able
to relieve lands from State taxes because
it baa developed sew sources of tax net
formerly qgoih to either the State o*
counties, particularly the income lax.
At one time the State did distribute a
small i*roportiont of the automobile tag
taxes to the counties for read main
tenance, and when this distribution was
discontinued the State took over from
the counties the’ burden of maintaining
; nil of the public roads within the coun
ties which ate included in the six thou*'
sand milas of designated State high
ways, as well as the burden of improv
