Board of Renew to Revise Valua
tion of Property for Taxation-
Geo. L. Thompson of Lumber-
ton, Dr. G. M. Pate'of Raynham
and Jas. A. Johnson of St. Pauls
were named as board of review
for Robeson by the county com-
missioners at 4 p. m., after some
- papers of this issue had been
printed. -
Provision for a complete re-assessment,
or re-valuation, of real estate
in Robeson county for taxation will
be made by the board of county com
missioners this afternoon. The com
missioners will appoint a board of
review, composed ot three resident
free-holders, a.s provided in a bill
passed by the recent Legislature.
Following is the section of the act
giving the plan adopted by the com
missioners: i
Sec. 28c. If the board of county
commissioners of any county, at their
regular monthly meeting on the first
Monday in April 1921, shall be of the"
opinion that the valuation of real
estate in such county is so unequal
as between the owners of real pro
perty in such county as to require
a more general xevision ot assess
ments than is practicable, to be made
under the provision of subsections (a)
and (b) of this section, or the value
of real property, as heretofore ap
praised in such county as a whole,
is in excess of the present actual value
of such property, it may by resolu
tion so find, and order that such re
vision be made. In the event such
order is made, it shall be in lieu of
the remedies ' provided in subsection
(a) and (b) of this section, and the
board of county commissioners shall
appoint a board of review, composed
of thnee resident freeholders, who
have geneVal knowledge of the value
of real estate jn such county, and
such board of review may appoint
such number of assistants as in their
judgment necessary to complete such
revision, not later than the first day
of July, 1921. The said board shall
take and subscribe to an oath to per
form their duties according to the
provisions of this act according to the
best of their ability, and shall give
notice by public advertisement that
the board, or one of its members or
assistants, will attend at least one day
in each township, and as long as shall
be necessary to hear evidence as to
the true value of the real property
therein and of any property over
valued or undervalued: said
Loard shall proceed as speed
ily as possible to hear and
determine what the present true
value thereof is, and to make such
general review and revision of the
assessed value of real property in
such county as it finds is necessary
to be made, to the end that the same
may be fairly and equally assessed
at its present -actual value in money.
A complete abstract of such revised
assessment, by townships. " giving
average value per acre and value of
town lots, and the value as a wnoie,
shall be made to the board of county
commissioners of such county and to
the State Tax Commission, not later
than the fifteenth day of July, 1921,
and shall be subject to the authority
of the State Tax Commission as a
State Board of Equalization, so as
to preserve a' proper equalized value
of real property in the, several coun
ties. The board ot county commis
sioners shall fix the expense that may
be incurred under this section, such
expense to be borne by the county.
This decision was reached by the
board of commissioners after a public
meeting held in the court house at
llo'clock this morning. The meeting
was attended by a crowd that filled
the court room to overflowing. After
the plan had been explained in detail
by Senator L. R. Varser the meeting
voted unanimously in favor, of
adopting" it. The commission
ers retired for a few minutes after
the vote was taken and through
County Attorney E. J. Britt advised
the meeting that they had decided to
adopted the above stated plan.
Every section of the county was
represented at 'the meeting and the
concensus of opinion was' that some
relief from the valuation put upon
real estate a year ago should be
granted. The . motion to vote upon
the plan adopted was made by Mr,
J. E. Carpenter of Maxton and was
seconded by a number of men scatter
ed throughout the court room.

The Public Spir
ited Citizen
Dr. Durham Preaches Timely Sermon
Importance of Living for Others
Build for Future Generations Too
Many Want to Spend All on Them,
selves.
"And when they came to Jesus,
they sought Him instantly, saying,
that he was worthy for whom He
should do this: ,
For he loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue" Luke 7 :
4 and 5.
It was from this text that Rev. Dr.
C. H. Durham, pastor of the First i
Baptist church, preached yesterday
morning. His subject was, "The
Public-Spirited Citizen".
The importance of living for others
and not for self alone, was stressed
bv Dr. Durham, who told of the life
of the centurion, who though he had
power and authority, loved his slave
and servant. While he could have
treated the slave like a dog and allow
ed him to die like a dog and not have
been criticised; he loved the helpless
and had sympathy for them. He had
military and financial power, btif he
was kindly and affectionate the
needy.
"There is iot enough :t 'this spirit
today", declared the preacher. Many
who claim to be Christians are pr.ss
ing down the road this busy day, pay
ing no heed to the ones of those in
need of help. Men should havd more
love and affection for the needy and
ii . & rri. . L - 1 i 1 !
me poor ine centurion nau enueareu
himself to the Jews over whom he had
authority by his life of love for hu
manity and his unselfishness. Many
show no public spiritedness and love
for others. They do not love their
town, their state amd their nation.
Some will go around and talk of their
love for their town, State and nartion,
but if it costs them a penny, they fail
to demonstrate their love. These are
not public-spirited. Jesus does, not
indorse hypocricy. Thank God for
men who will get down in the mud
and be the ground sills for the founda
tion of future generations. If it had
not been for the public spiritedness
and' sacrifices of others we would not
enjoy the priveleges we enjoy today.
This is not the last generation.
I take no stock in the talk that the end
of time is near. There will be other
generations and it is better for us to
build for them. The financial panic
would not be on us today if it had not
been for the opposite spirit. The
devil caused it. People want to speiid
all on themselves and let worthy ob
jects go by. God says such a person
is not worthy. Many who claim to
be geart are forty rods behind the
centurion. We ought to be advancing
and at least try to catch up with the
centurion, who lived about 2.0UU
vears aero.
In closing Lr. irurnam tola oi tne
crreat faith of the centurion and de
clared that the people of today should
seek a greater faith, give themselves
to Jesus unreservedly ana follow his
teaching love for each other and
build a foundation good for the pre
sent and the future.
