A BOARD OP REVIEW.
As predicted in this paper last
week ,the Board of County Commis
sioners at their meeting Monday
adopted Section 28c of the Machin
ery and Revenue Act, creating a
Board of Review to revise the as
sessed value of property in Harnett
county, "to the end that the same
may be fairly and equally assessed at
its present actual value in money."
The Commissioners appointed to
constitute the Board of Review
Messrs. A. M. Shaw of Lillington,
former county auditor; H. S. Hollo
way of Cardenas R. 1, and F. S.
Cullom of Averasboro. The Board j
of Commissioners will meet with the
Board of Review next Monday, April
11th, and confer upon plans of pro
cedure. The Board of Review is allowed
about ninety days in which to com
plete its work, the law requiring that
they must report a complete revision
not later than July 1st. A complete
abstract of such revision must be
sent to the state tax commission by
July 15th. The Board of Review is
given power to appoint such number!
of assistants as may be necessary.
This measure will afford an oppor
tunity to taxpayers to get their
property on the tax books at its
actual vash value as it stands today,
which will of course mean ten cent
cotton basis instead of forty cent
cotton basis for land. And in view
of the fact that the Board of Review
has upon its hands such a tremen
dous task to perform in so short a
time, it becomes the duty- of each
property owner to expedite the work
of revision by such assistance as they
may render in the way of placing an
unquestionable valuation upon their
property, so that the Board may ac
cept it at its face value and thus pre
vent argument about it. There will
be no time for squabbling, and we
believe the Board of Review will not
permit it.
We have great faith Jn the ability
as well as the integrity of the gentle-
men appointed upon the Board of
Review. They have in their hands
the task of placing property vaula
tion in Harnett county upon a solid
basis a basis upon which the citi
zens can afford to pay their taxes.
They will do their duty. And the
citizens will be fair in their repre
sentations to the Board, so it is pre
sumed and hoped. -

BURWELL'S BARGAIN HOUSE
CARRY ON!
The following was used by Rusling
Wood and appeals to us as a message
that would be well to pass along:
Milt Meldrum, the bookkeeper,
owed Gertie, the stenographer, two
cents. And Gertie owed Pete, the
office boy, two cents, and Pete owed
Milt two cents.
One day Milt found a cent in his
pocket, passed it over to Gertie, and
paid half his debt.
Gertie gave it to Pete and paid
one-half her debt.
And Pete handed it back to Milt
and paid one-half his debt.
Then Milt passed the coin to Ger
tie, and so it went around again.
Everybody was paid up, and Milt had
the same cent he started .with.
That is all there is to what we call
"business" in this country. When
business is good, Milt is giving his
cent to Gertie. When it is bad, Milt
is keeping it in his pocket. " What
the Milts do not realize is this: that
the surest way of bringing money
back to their pockets is to spend the
money they have to keep the wheels
moving carry on.
When one may says "I will cut
down production, or cancel orders,
or stop advertising," his action af
fects many people including him
self. When, a number of men do
these things, the result is dull busi
ness. If it comes tq, a full stop it will be
hard to start it again. But as lone
as it is moving it is easy to accele
rate. If every man who reads this says
simply, "Business is good. I will go
on and make goods and sell them
with all my might," and acts on it,
what he says will be true. Business
will be good. So let's carry on!
Let's build up!
If the business men, bankers andj
all that large army of short-sighted !
people who have conspired to reduce
the prices of farm products wisb toi
see the results of what they helped !
in a measure to bring about, let them
consider the acreage planted in fall!
wheat, compared with the acreage j MONEY TO LEND ON
Sowed in the fall of 1919 and 1918: i
Sowed the fall of 1920, 40,903,000'
acres.
Sowed the fall of 1919, 42,081,000
acres.
Sowed the fall of 1918, 50,489,000
acres. j
That is the farmer's answer to the!
reduction of prices below cost of pro
duction. The corn farmer will givej
the same answer in 1921, as will also
the cotton farmer. If he cannot get!
a fair price for his products he less-i
