Citizen* of Johnston county have not forgotten iron whom their blessings come. Last faH a great da) Oi thanksgiving was observed tn that county, separate and apart front that observed throughout the nation. And. quoting from The Stnithhebl Observer. " Jobmtno county is again going to bow rt» head in recognition and reverence to the lather for the beautiful crops.” A committee has already been appointed to work out plans and name the date for this annual gathering of the masses to join in a county-wide thanksgiving day. While every day should be one <isur county show the proper spirit in setting span each year a day of fecial thanksgiving. We once lived ia a rural ctnunumty that observed two days each year. In the spring a day was set apart on which the bks-ongg of God were invoked tnmn the efforts in makingc e crop. Then in the fail the citiscns again gath ered et the community church to render thanks for the blessings re ceived. These special ocesnons were looked forward to with in terear by the people living in that i community, and the two services / were largely attended. The plan I appeals to us aa both fitting and ' appropriate. Served Hb Camelry Fur the first time in twenty-two years the American nation mourns for a President who died in har ness. and the moormeg is not con fined to members of party or creed The great and inestimable Iota which befell the nation aa a result of the death of its chief executive — the late President Warren G. Harding — b felt fay all true Amer icans. Whale dm Oncss of ftt ~ r*te*i«wilTrmtainjng»m,T reports from hb bedside had left (hr public unprepared for the shock that came with the nears of hb mad den departure. Neither was the grief brought about by the death of the Presides! confined to the ibores of America. It spread to the utter most parts of the world. \\Tule there are those who saw things in a different light from the •chief executive, none will deny that he was sincere and that he had the wdfatv of his country at heart. He did that which be thought was best for the American people who elect ed him to the high office which be held. With him America was first, end even the moat ruthless of the critics of hb Admn iteration have never had occasion to doubt or deny that he measured as nearly 100 per cent American aa b possible. While the historians may not class Mr. Harding as oae of the greatest presidents thb country has known, h am truthfully be said that be served Ms country well and did nothing to faring discredit opco him self, bit office or his people. He de voted hb all to the service of Ms country and was a Christian gentle man who was " faithful unto death.” Vary Hash Alika me itxnn ■ companion, ftncr ally (unnidtrcd to be one of the moat ctoate periodical* pnhliphail in America, recently had lb* follow inf to my about the anonyraout let ter writer: ** The man who write* it*e~rimT b”2t£!CL *hr w** wEfirtSi SSlTppI' » t^mn. or had of men, who hid* their fare* when they wiah to commit an art that ia either fond or bad? ■ ' VoahOtrgaa.lt b twit that only hot iTSTitectiona whet* the u^^fCr. 21 — * t-TH ' ofCf oo Dllf tfWSl We of the State, be effect wW tv ; The county-wide ting is u event n which the entire qfaaBp of Harnett sfcould be interested.

All together for a big and a «tor<xu day on September 10. We wonder how many citirem of North Carolina pay their taxes with pleasure. Perhaps uo othci agency under the sun calls for s< moch lacking and complaint as tha: of taxes. From Biblical history wi learn that the tax collector was de spisrd and hated by the masse even before Christ came into th< world. The complaint of higl taxes heard in any one community in the State would lead one to be here that the inhabiLants of tha particular section paid more taxet than the inhabitants of any otbei in the whole country. Figures baser on the 1921 report of the Stab Commissioner of Revenue coverinj all taxes collected by county am State, including State income tax show that Harnett county stand thirty-fourth in the list of coontta as to the amount of taxes paid pei inhabitant. The total tax for end inhabitant in the county is $8 66 Wilson county pays the highest ta> per person, paying $16.10. whih Alleghany pays the least. $3.58. The amount of taxes per inhabit ant collected in Sampson count; totals $5.45, and that county stand! nmteenth in the list. The uuoun paid per inhabitant in Jobnstot totals $5.29, and it stands ninety fourth. Cumberland stands twenty fourth, the average per inha bitan in that county being $9.49.

It baa not been fully derided by the prysidans in charge, whetlicr or not to accept thia offer. It is probable, however, that the matter ! will be deferred until next spring.
