All persons employed in
North Carolina during the
year will not be required to file
a state Income tax return.
So, before you actually get
into preparing your North
Citrolina state income tax
return, let’s check to be sure
you actually have to file one.
If you are a single resident
of North Carolina or a married
woman, and earned over
$1,1)00, or, a married man with
income in excess of $2,000, you
are required to file a North
Carolina state income tax
return. Non-residents and
j)art-year residents are also
i-equired to file if their income
was greater than their
prorated exemptions.
If you now find that you
must file a tax return, the first
major step in preparing your
return is to determine your
personal exemptions. You
What
Happened
To Truek?
^ Recently, the newly
elected city commissioners
inventoried confiscated liquor
and beer taken in an arrest in
1968 and found nine cases
missing. However, according
lo stories in various quarters,
the controversy stems from
the fate of the truck involved
in the case.
The truck, a 1960 three-
quarter ton pickup, was
hauling a load of liquor and
beer when the driver, James
Holmes of Statesville was
arrested for transporting
liquor.
The truck was check
through the Department of
Motor Vehicles and came
I back listing Lester Jesse
Hoffman of Rt. 2, Connelly
Springs as the owner.
Following the trial, the
truck was left in the city hall
parking lot for some months.
According to the present
records of the Department of
Motor Vehicles, the truck was
stored on Sept. 10, 1969 at
Dixon Chevrolet. On March 20,
1970, the truck was sold at
public auction to Robert Lee
Parton of Second St. in Kings
Mountain.
A month later, on April 15,
the truck was sold to Clyde
Richard Toney of Rt. 2, Box
223, Bessemer City.
The next owner listed was
Vernon Thomas Grindstaff of
Rt. 2, South 8th St., Bessemer
City. Date of purchase was
May 29, 1972.
On March 15, 1973 the truck
was purchased by Bobby Gene
Green of Kiser Rd, in
Bes.semer City. The truck,
according to records, is still in
his possession.
The prevailing opinion
seemed to center around
McDevitt’s role concerning
the truck.
The Mirror contacted
Chariie Dixon at Dixon
Chevrolet about the pick
up and asked if McDevitt
t received any monetary gain
from the truck’s sale. Dixon
said, “No. He didn’t get one
cent from the sale of the truck.
It set here for a long time and
we finally wrote Raleigh
asking for permission to sell
the truck to cover storage
costs. The Department of
Motor Vehicles sent the title
and we sold the truck at public
auction. As far as I can
remember, we got about $100
for it, just enough to cover
storage costs”

may quality for a $l.llU<i,
$2,000. $3,000 or evifn $4,000
IX’isonal exemption.
Generally, you will qualify
for a $2,000 exemption,
whether you are married or
unmarried, unless: you are
single and do not furnish over
50 percent of the cost of
maintaining a household for
yourself or a dependent
relative for 183 days or more
during the year, you are a
married woman whose
husband is claiming his $2,000
exemption, or, you are a
married man whose wife is
claiming your $2,000 exemp
tion with your consent. (Your
consent is deemed given if you
file your return and only claim
a $1,000 exemption.)
There are exceptions to the
maintainance of household
rule. A $2,0IM exemption is
allowed for those who are
divorced and have custody of
a child under 18 and who
receives no alimony or child
support. Also, widows and
widowerswitha child under 18
may claim a personal
exemption of $2,000 when not
maintaining a household, even
if the minor child does not
qualify as a dependent.
As is the case with Federal
tax regulations. North
Carolina gives special con
sideration to persons 65 and
over, and to persons who are
blind. And additional $1,000 is
allowed in personal exemp
tions for persons who qualify
for either extra exemption.
