After 15 years as a dairyman, Jar
vis H. Allison, now a county Com
missioner, has sold his herd of 15
Guernsey cows and a bull, and will
devote all of his time to farming, he
said here this week.
Mr. Allison sold his herd to a group
of New Jersey dairymen a few weeks
ago.
He started in the dairy business
in a small way, and kept abreast of
the modern trend of dairying, and
has for the past several ;yf ars been
a producer of grade "A" milk.
Mr. Allison said that he did not
want to enlarge his herd, and that 15
cows was too much for him to look
after, together with his farm duties.

Mrs. Hannah Is
State Director
Of New Tax Group
Mrs. William Hannah assumed her
duties last week as state director of
the National Consumers Tax Com
mission, Inc. She will make her
headquarters in Waynesville. Nation
al headquarters are kept in Chicago.
The commission was organized by
a group of women in New England,
after which the business man of the
country became interested and since
that early group started, the commis
sion has become a national unit.
The organization is non-profit and
non-partisan and is being organized
in every section of America, with
study groups created within each
community for the purpose of giving
to the public generally as much in
formation as possible about taxes
how they are levied and expended by
local, county, state, and federal gov
ernments and how the burden of j
them is constantly decreasing the Val-j
ue of the consumer's dollar. i
This is a combined effort on the
part of business and women to make
the country sufficiently tax conscious
that it will take definite effective ac
tion toward eliminating the extrava
grance of all government spending.
Thirty-one states are now repre
sented by some outstanding woman
from each state as a member of th
National committee. Mrs. Rufus L.
Allen is sei-ving from North Carolina.
Fifteen states are now in active' work
of organization with prominent wom
en in each state functioning as a di
! ctor. Local units with local chair
man and local executives arc begin
ning an active study of taxes.
Mrs. Hannah's first work will be
the organization of all towns having
10,000 or more population in North
Carolina.
Mrs. Hannah is a graduate of the
State University and was licensed to
practice law in the state in 1925.
By training and experience anil her
familiarity with legal affairs, Mrs.
Hannah brings to the state position
all the qualifications for successful
consumation of the Tax Commission's
plans. She is the widow of the late
W. T. Hannah and the daughter-in-law
of the late Captain Wr, J. Hannah,
both prominent members of the Hay
wood County bar.

Proponents Of ABC Stores In
Haywood Encouraged By Re
cent Court Ruling
There is every indication 'that pro
ponents favoring the establishment of
alcoholic beverage control stores in
Haywood county will begin soon to
circulate new petitions, in which the
Haywood board of elections will he
asked to call such an election.
The decision of the state supreme
court, placed the recent case on the
matter for a Haywood jury to decide,
on whether or not there were 1,704 of
the 1,793 names on the petitions that
were qualified voters in the last gov
ernor's election.
Walter T. Crawford, attorney for
proponents of the ABC stores, told
The Mountaineer this week that while
his clients had not made any defi
nite decision, it was his opinion that
they would circulate new petitions
calling for an election.
It was intimated that no petitions
would be circulated until after the
general election on November 8th.
The earliest an election can be had
would be about January 20th, it was
learned.
Mr. Crawford explained that he
felt that the case which just went to
the supreme court was out of the pic
ture and that it Would never go to
a jury for a verdict to determine the
qualifications of the signers.
"My clients are sincere in their be
lief that an election on the question'
will carry, and they have been en
couraged by the court's decision," Mr.
I Crawford said.
What about the Cube, bill? the at

was asked. "The Cube bill will not

sure do."
A. If. Rogers, principal, Lake Juna

and amounts given each person should
be published. Because this would
help relieve the tax payers as many
people on relief would not stay on
very long if this was done."

By all means." i- ,

Mrs. C. F. Kilkpatrick "So, I do
not think so many persons are on re

the public in general does not under
stand the circumstances. The expos
ure of the names and the amounts
would only bring criticism to the wel
fare department and the persons re
ceiving aid."
S. . Pushnell, Secretary Haywood

any particular advantage in making
public this information."

"I think it would cut down the number
of people getting relief who don't need
it."
Mrs. C. P.. McCliir"o."
C. A. George, Cafe Owner "Yes,
they ought to be published, because so
many of those receiving relief do not
deserve it. : Cases occasionally come
to light where people able to care for
themselves are On relief rolls, because
they find it easy to get. Full publi
city would eliminate that, in my
opinion. I believe in relief where a
full investigation shows that the peo
ple are too old or too infirm to care
for themselves, and in cases where
children are left fatherless, but we
ought to withold it from those who
could be self supporting."
The intei ior improvements that are
being made at the First National
Bank will be completed (luring the
next month according to the officials
of the bank. :
The work was started the first week
ir September, and extensive' remod
eli:,g is underway. The entire floor
plan has been 'changed. Low wide
hiiiible counters-, with aluminum rail
ings have taken the place of the old
fashioned, "cage type." Patrons of the
bank have expressed their "approval
of the change in this feature.
The workmen started pouring con
crete yesterday in the vault, the ca
pacity of which is being greatly in
creased. The old vault contained only
75 safety boxes, while the new vault
will have .'K)0 safety deposit boxes
varying in size from 4 inches up to
24 inches.
Next week plans are to start lay
ing the tile floor, which is one of
the many improvements being inaugurated.
