Tax Exemption On Eastern Carolina Louisiana Homes Tobacco Faces \n After six years experience with homestead tax exemption the state of Louisiana finds the results both for the state as well as the farmers to be even more successful than ex pected "The loss of ownership in a farm because of tax delinquency.*' f declares the Louisiana Experiment Station, "is no longer possible on many homestead farms in Louis-' lana " Homesteads valued at $1,000 were exempted from ' millage" taxes from 1934 through 1938. and this limit for tax exemption was raised to $2,000 in 1939 Thus the first $1,000 and now $2,000 of valuation is deducted from the tax base for all homesteads in the state The state finds that comparative ly little revenue was lost as a re sult of this tax reform. The thous and dollar exemption caused a de cline of only 8.5 per cent in the total property tax revenue of the state, while the $2,000 exemption brought the reduction to 12 per cent. Accord ing tu the experiment station "prop erty taxes were removed from most small family-size farms by the $1. 000 exemption." Heretofore, the taxes paid on these small farms had been out of proportion to their val uation. thereby promoting tax de linquency and migration. To qualify as homestead, the ! owner of the farm must live drTTf Thus the law is particularly design -- to promote, owner-operated farm holdings Two Minor Auto M reeks Reported In This 4rea No one was hurt and very little damage resulted in two minor auto accidents in this area this week. C L. Blount. Washington County man, clipped a telephone pole in two on Washington Street late Wednesday night causing about a $10 damage to his car. Neither he nor his compan oin, Mrs. Clara Johnson, was hurt. A Modlin youth, of Jamesville, was driving into Williamston early last night when the ear lights failed and caused him to lose control of his machine Aftei skidding a few feet, the car swerved down a small em bankment neai Sweet Water Creek on the Jamesville Koad. No one was hurt and the car was not damaged Sarah Miggi/is I'assse At Home Here W ednesday Sarah Wiggins, highly respected colored citizen, died at her home here Wednesday morning following a long Illness. She suffered a stroke of paralysis some time ago Funeral services will be conduct ed at lite Shiloh Baptist Church Sun day afternoon at 2 30 o'clock. Rev L. T. Bonds, her pastor, will conduct the last rites. Mi and Mrs. Carroll Jones have moved from their apartment on War ren Street to an apartment in the home of Mrs. John F.dmondson. on Watts Street. Higher (ireatel industrial activity, attrib utable in part to the defense pre gram, is likely to result in higher av erage prices for funn products and in higher incomes for farmers in 1941. iSuapt ' BARGAIN PRICES J for 20c g > i BLl't BOX Small site 3 for 25c 1 Small site 3 for 25c i 0 for 25c 6 BED BOX Small site 3 for 25c Large site 2 for 35c Octagon Soap, small 10 for 23c Octagon Powder, large 6 for 25c Octagon Powder, small 10 lor 23c Octagon Toilet fi for 25c Octagon Cleanser 2 for 9c Octagon Flakes 2 for ISc Octagon Granulated 2 for 18c Moore Grocery Co.
