CITY 8CHOOL8
City schools will open on Wednes
day. August 30, and preparations,
are being made -to take care ot a
larger enrollment during the coming
year. Kings Mountain's rapid growth
means more children in school from
year to yea, and" that means more
buildings and equipment to meet
their needs. We have every reason
to he proud of our school system,
for seme very effective teaching and
training work is being done here.
BUILD NOW
, Considerable building has been
done during the summer months in
Kings Mountain and in. the surround
ing sections, and likely a great deal
more will be done during late summer
and fall. The fall months provide
weather for "building, audi per^
sons who contemplate building before
cold weather should) not hesitate
to get their projects under way
now. Regardless of the size of the
home, the home owner who finally
dears his home of debt makes a
substantial citizen. We believe that
more and more ' encouragement
should be given to persons who can
afford to invest only a few hundred
' ' dollars <in a home on a small tract
of land, big enough perhaps to provide
a garden. man living In a
home that cost 11.000 will make a
better citizen than the man living
lp a house on which he is paying (4
orfE per month rent.
8H0RTEN YOUR LINE
When 1 used to fish in mountain
streams, If 1 had a short line I
could "ddrect It easily, and throw It
into this or that pool aa I pleased;
tout If I let out my line til it was
twenty or thirty feet Ions. I could]
not direct It, but I was the victim of j
?\ery floating stick, ami) jutting rock
, uad overhanging bcugh.
Bo, I have seen men. wading down
the stream of life. Jumping from
stone to stone, slipping on thla rock
and falling Into that pool, because (
their line was so long they couM do
nothing with it?a line that reachedj
down forty years sometimes. Now,
ff you would avoid these difficulties,
shorten your line! L?et "it reach over
one day only. "Sufficient unto the
day is the cv;l thereof."?Henry
War! Becher. * <

EVERYBODY PAYS TAXE8
lite Idea that only a few persons
pay taxes and that the ordinary citizen
"doesn't have to pay any ls> very
widespread indeed, according to a
recent inouirv mado by the lndefattg
able Dr. Oallup.
According to the poll, three-quar era
of all the citizens of the United'
Stataa believe that they are not pay]
ing any taxes at all. The people of j
the "higher-income" groups are a-1
ware that they carry their share of!
the tax burden. Ninety-seven percent]
of those approached admitted as
* much.
But in the krw-inclme group only

they were taxpayers, while people in
the middle range * of inoomee. from
$20 to $40 a week, are better Inform
ed in this matter of taxation.
As a matter of fact, the people
with the smallest Incomes pay out
the largest proportion of tnelr earnings
in the form of taxes, though
they don't realize it. It has been estimated
that the 920 a week wageearner
pays more than 9200 a year
in ''hidden" taxes, concealed in the
price of everything he buy*.
The storekeeper is tUfe tax collector.
Unless he Is to fail In business,
hat to get his own taxes out of the
price of the things he sells. Then he
must pay his share of the wholesaler's
taxes, the taxes of the rail:
roads and truck operators who bring
the. goods to hla store, add back of
these the taxes of the growers end
WMMSoriuSf foodstuffs and of the
manufacturers of all the rest of his
merchandise.
