And what is the wisdom in continuing to levy taxes on unproductive property that can’t pay? That method doesn’t pro duce cash with which to pay school expenses. It's like trying to plow a :cad mule. A reasonable tax on in dustry .governed by its ability to pay. where the money will have to come trom, tlm the last legislature only made a step in that direction. hut suppose every legislator had oted as did Dr. T. W. M. Long in the recent session. Would we have <‘ven made this one step? That and ’hot alone was my reason for writ ng the letter to Dr. Long thru the papers <>f this county. Is it persecu i ution to let the voters of this coun ty know how he voted thru the press d' his county? (The letter was not sent to the News and Observer by me. Someone, without my knowledge sent it or it was copied from some Hali fax County paper). I think, and every man has a right to his own opinion, that Dr. Long did not follow the wishes of a majority °f the voters of his county in voting as he did. and if he ever comes up for election, the people will decide. And 1 would like to add in all kindness that if Dr. Long were a resident of Scotland Neck or any other town in ’he county, I would have followed the : me course. We are a county and State unit and those industries in W ('.. that are earning profits should he willing to share a larger part of til etax burden, than those which are •ml, whether located in Chereikeo e>r Dare.

A hot bath is so cooling on a warm pT-gb day like this. My mother says that she wonders how she ever kept house without our automatic electric water heater, because now she has plenty of hot water morning, noon and night. She doesn't have to run up and down the stairs any more; she just turns the faucet and there it is! She told dad it was certainly an investment in comfort, convenience and happiness. Dad thinks it's swell because it speeds his morning shave. I heard him tell mother that every family should have an electric water heater now that they could get one for only $IO. down and pay the balance in small monthly payments.
