Rice, instructor of Manual Training at Brevard Insti tute for the past three years, has moved to Louisville, Ky. He has not decided definitely upon any plans for the immediate future.

He took a great interest in church work and attended regularly the Brevard Bantist church. Hi will be sorely mfssed in the religious and business circles of Brevard. ) Tax Increase on Some -Business and \ Industries Now at Dangerous Point Raleigh, Sept. 9 ? Taxes on some I forms of business and industry were j ! increased to a dangerous level by the 11931 General Assembly and certain forms of industry cannot sustain any increased taxation, Attorney General D. G. Brummitt said in a Raleigh Kiwanis club address Friday, a talk ?which might be termed his first pub lic utterances on taxation in his pre dicted campaign for governor. Property, Mr. Brummitt said, bears the burden of taxation for local gov ernment, county and town, a larger part of the extended school term and for debt service, which includes an nual interest, sinking fund and ser ial bond payments. Debt service, he said, would require a rate on all property in the state, spread equally, of $1.05 in 1931, $1.02 in 1932, $1.03 in 1933, 99 cents in 1934 and $1.01 in 193o, and, in addition, property pays IB cents toward support of the six months school term. I Saying the deficit in State govern ment was $2,300,00 for the past bi ennium and. would be still larger this biennium, Mr. Brummitt said the State cannot afford to continue run ning a deficit, and the State revenue requirements should be based on com pliance with the Executive Budget Act, keeping costs within current revenues. One or more of four alter natives are open to do that: | (1) Cut support of six months school term about one-third, which, he said, 99 per cent of the citizens would reject: (2) Lift the present State-wide school tax from 15 to .'J5 cents, in addition to the levy on prop erty for local government, the ex tended school term and debt servic^b I The rate should not be raised; (3P ' Additional levies or indirect taxes upon business and industry, which were increased this year and in some cases to a dangerous level; and (4) Seek other sources of taxation. He did not mention new sources. I This emergency calls for intensive study of facts, Mr. Brummitt said, adding that strict economy in govern mental expenditures are necessary, f Economies now being inaugurated in the schools must be studied after they have been in operation to get the results and effects upon the schools, said Mr. Brummitt. DRAFT HORSES HJS ? SOURCE OF INCOME 1 ? i j YOUNGSVILLE, Sept. 8? "If I ' had money needing investment, I'd I put it into land right now while land i i is cheap," says William Thomas! Moss, -who supplies a noteworthy ex ample of progressive farming. "I'd make a sort of crops of it; I would handle it with the view of improving it for resale later when land values rise again." Mr. Mess bought most of his 220 ? acre farm when land values were at the war-time peak ar.d he still is com ing out well on the operating of his j place, which is near Youngsville. He I states that his money outlay on eot j ton this year will be about $25 an > acre and he estimates that his over head costs are of about the same 3 amount, which means, he says, that ?. he should get around 10 cents a pound in order to come clear on it, though 5 he expects to pick about a bale to the acre. He does not depend on cotton for coming clear on all his farming. Much the greater part of his culti vated acreage is in corn and beans. He keeps seven to ten brood sows and ' sells about 75 to 80 8-weeks-old pig.~ ' year. Most of them go to other r farmers. ' But his most singular operation is that of raising percheron draft ? horses, which he uses, with big ma chinery, for most of his plowing and cultivating, though he has a tractor. He has an average of three percher on colts for sale every year and he ' gets good prices for them. "I could ' sell a good many more," he says. One city ice company wanted to buy eignt ' from him this year. Most of those he sells go to farmers, and he states that prices received for them are as good as at any time in the 17 years that he has been in the percheron raising game. TOBACCO PRICES ARE INCREASING Raleigh, Sept S ? While cotton growers are in the thioes of despond ency, tobacco growers are experienc ing varying emotions. I.ast week's sales in the new bright belt of east ern North Carolina indicated prices slightly above those of last year and an apparent tendency to increase. While the start was low. as usual, due to inferior grades, sold as barom eter, growers grew more encouraged jas the week progressed. The upward [trend brought out better grades and 'the average price, accordingly, in j creased. Growers, while not entire !Jy satisfied, are not as blue as they ^ feared before the market opened. Tobacco cost less to produce this year jthan it did last year, it is maintain ;ed. If the present trend continues, jthe tobacco growers will be able to make much more or the crops than they did last year. If. D. C. LIBRARY 'HOURS i X01V OX WIXTER SCHEDULE The schedule for the LT.
