M. H. Mitchell, Halifax County
Register of Deeds, deposited a
check for $76,453.52 to the County's
account in the Bank of Halifax on
October 16. The deposit was the
amount of prepaid taxes received
in the Register of Deed's office be
tween June 1 and October 12, 1940.
A house bill was passed in the
state legislature in 1938 giving tax
payers the privilege of paying their
taxes at a 2 per cent discount be
fore they become actually due, ac
cording to law. Approximately
$90,000 was collected in prepaid
taxes last year.
The prepaid taxes are received
in the office of the Register of
Deeds as a part of that office's
work. The tax payer received an
advance payment receipt. The
county tax collector, however, sends
those who have paid their taxes an
official receipt when he takes over
the books.

Doctor Advises Exercise
For Men Of Draft Age
By ROBERT YOUNO, M. D.,
County Health Officer
The Guards have gone, and there
are still more of us to go—how
many, no one really knows, but
there is one thing certain—we can
be prepared.
There are too many men in the
draft range who are soft. Instead
of walking a couple of blocks it has
become customary to jump in the
jalopy and ride that distance.
Rather than take a little exercise
it is the usual thing to go to a
show, or just sit and rock.
Men between the ages of twenty
one and thirty-five who hold posi
tions that require very little exer
cise should begin a routine of
training. A nice long walk each
day would be enough to start on.
A little later add some setting-up
exercises for the first ming each
mornjng and before going to bed
at night. Then, buy an axe and
chop wood for an hour or so a day.
Work in a long hike over the
week-end, with a night out in the
open. Gradually add a little more
exercise until the shortness of
breath and sickly feeling that come
on after the first workouts disap
pear and a feeling of exhilaration
takes hold.
Keep at it until the appetite is
as sharp as a razor, and there is a
feeling that a grizzly bear would
not be too much to tackle. Then
our men will be prepared.
Miss Grace Hudson of Mount
Pleasant spent the week-end with
her parents, Rev. and Mrs. D. A.
Hudson.
