structor for the past several
years, will open her studio at the
home of Mrs. L. B. Dula in Wil

Miss Blevins is well prepared
to give instruction in piano and
theory of music. Recently she

.Montreat by the nationally fa
mous musician and teacher, Mrs.
Crosby Adams.
The Nemars, who performed a
sensational blindfold drive here
about two years ago, will return
for another such exhibition on
Friday, August 31, and Saturday,
September 1st, it was learned here
today.
Not only will Professor Nemar
traverse the business streets of
the city, stopping at certain in
tersections. but will park his car
in front of certain stores, get out
and enter the -stablishments and
select gifts which will be given
away to the crow:!iS in front of
the stores-
Professor Nemar states that he
will permit a half dollar to be
placed ov'r each eye before he is
blindfolded and that he will wear
a metal mask made by any metal
worker in North Wilkesboro if an
offer should be made to provide
ore.
Sixte":n thi'-kness s of cotton
bandage, he declares, will be used
over his eyes, fastened with ad
hesive tape, and a black cloth will
ba used to cover the entire face.
Mr. Nemar will drive one car
and he will be followed by Madame
Nemar in a second car. From this
distance some 40 or 50 feet to the
rear, she will direct the blindfolded
driver by “telepathic mental con
trol.”
Madame Nemar in an interview
touched briefly on the psychic side
of the wonderful drive. She said
some people called it “transfer
ence of thought,” and generally it
was termed this and that. How
ever, she declared it was the
science of mind action and reac
tion similar to wireless waves. She
claims no supematnral powers in
the act of directing her husband.
Professor Nemar, in their free ex
hibition what is generally termed
a “blindfold drive.”
In order to be able to direct the
acts, Mrs., Nemar stated it is ab
solutely necessary that the one
who receives the “broadcast” must
recline, into a state of suspended
animation, and that the normal and
Licenses Are

Game Warden Points Out
Savings By Buying Combi
nation Licenses
H. G. Minton, county game
warden, stated tkis morning that
combination hunting and fishing
licenses are now being offered
the sportsmen of this section. _
He calls attention to the tact
that the price for the combina
tion licenses, which permits -any
one to hunt or fish In any part
of the state, is only 23.00, which
represents a substantial saving
over the old way.
The combination licenses are
being sold by Mr. Minton and by
the Carlton Hardware store in
this city.
, Laws governing hunting and
fishing will be strictly enforced,
Mr. Minton stated, and he warns
people to procure their licenses
before venturing forth for game
or fish.

few changes in the tax levy and
budget aa compared with the ap
propriations for the flsoal year
ending June 30, 1984. -t.
The 80-cent tax levy la dlvldad
into the seven separate fondw ha
follows:
County general fund .IS
County poor and relletiLil'^t#? ,
County health fund .OS
County-wide debt service - •2S
Those extra pennies the clerks
called for in Wilkes county dur
ing the fiscal year ending June
30th amounted to 239,088.19
cording to the final tabulation of
sales tax receipts compiled by A.
J. Maxwell, revenue commission
er for North Carolina.
Sales tax and registration fees
of-merchants in the state for the
entire year amounted to 26,011,-
700.16.
Sales tax totals for the year
attract much interest, due to the
fact that there has been much
specnlatlon as to what the three
per cent levy on sales would yield
In comparison with the 15-cent
advalorem property tax that the
sales tax was substituted for in
the last session ot the general
assembly.
With Wilkes county’s valuation
of taxable property around 212,-
000,000, the ad valorem tax of
15 cents on the hundred dollars
valuation would have yielded |
$1^,000, or less than half the.
239,038.10 collected by the sales I
tax route. . {
It is interesting to note that i
Mecklenburg paid the biggest I
slice of the sales tax—2772,- I
696.66—which almost doublps
the next highest, Guilford, with
2399,643.19. Other counties in
which the larger cities are located
paid over a quarter o( a million
each.
Clay county, in the extreme
western part of the state, paid
the least in* sales tax of any coun
ty—21,838.81.
Below are given the year’s sales
tax returns for each county ad
joining Wilkes:
Ashe $ 9,088.55
Alleghany 3,698.00
Surry 65,436.19
Yadkin 7,960.92
Iredell 75,944.88
Alexander 9,793.27
Caldwell 60,559.30
Watauga — 12,344.89
School Funding bond fund >08
School debt service fund- .14
School capital outlay .08
With tbe exception of two
funds, the above levies are Iden
tical with the 1933-34 levies. The
tax levy for school capital out
lay was Increased from three to
six cents in order to provide suf
ficient funds to do some much
needed repair work on the school
buildings in tbe connty. - " -
To keep the tax rate from being
increased because of the need
for additional school capital out
lay, tbe county commissioners
shaved tbe county-wide (debt
service fund three cents, balanc
ing with the increase In the
school fund.
Appropriations for the general
county fund total 258,127, with
only 27 cents-of tax levy to meet
tbe appropriation. Revenue
from sources other than the ad
valorem tax must be sought to
provide the remainder of the
appropriation, 27 cents being tbe
maximum levy allowed by law
for general county fund, poor
fund and health fund.
Following are tbe appropria
tions for, the general county ex
pense for tbe ensuing year:
