0. F. Eller, register of deeds of
Wilkes county, today tendered his
resignation from that office to
the board of county commission
ers and Oid iWiles, chief deputy
sheriff for several years, was
named ns his successor.
Ill health was given by Mr.
Eller as cause for his resignation
and the action was taken upon
advice of his physicians who stat
ed that the strain of office was
detrimental to his health. Due to
the fact that the'office of regis
ter of deeds is now in the midst
of making out tax books to be
turned over to the sheriff on Oc
tober 1, it was deemed advisable
by the commissioners to name his
successor at once in order that
this work may be pushed to com
pletion and other functions of the
office be carried on without de
lay.
Mr. Eller is well and favorably
known by the citizens of the
coupty. Several years ago Ije serv
ed a term as county treasurer
and carried out the duties of that
office to , the complete satisfac
tion of ail concerned. In the
spring of J934 he announced him
self a candidate for the Republi
can nomination for regrister of
deeds and*iVon in the primary by
a substantial margin over sever
al other candidates. In the fall
election he was named to the of

Before Thursday, September 5th
The recent epidemic of store
robberies In North Wilkesboro
reached a new height on Thurs
day night when three esUhUsb-
ments were looted and attempts
were made to enter two other

taken nothing but cash and have
neither taken or left anything
that promises to aid police in
solving the series of breaks.
At Gaddy Motor Company and
I. H. McNeill’s grocery store en
trance was gained through a
skylight. Nothing was taken from
the grocery store but the cash
register was broken into qt Gad
dy Motor Company, although no
funds were left In- the register
during the night.
A cash register was taken
from the Gulf service station at
the corner of B and Sixth streets
and was bursted open. The reg
ister was taken some distance
from the building ihut yielded
only a small amount of change.
Entrance was also tried, ac
cording to indication about the
windows, at E. E. Eller’s produce
establishment, which was enter
ed several days ago. Someone
also tried to pry through a win-
(|ow at J. C. Mcf^lll’s service
station on D street and Police
man Winkler stated that he ran
someone away from the rear of

Following is a copy of the let
ter mailed to the teachers by
Superintendent Eller:
“Due to the fact that no books
will he available for rent for
some time, X' think It advisable
not to open school before Sep
tember 5th. At the principal’s
Conference yesterday with repre
sentatives of the State Depart
ment, it was thought beet not to
open school until we had some
more definite information con
cerning the book situation.
“Unless f u r t h e r notified,
schools will open September 6th.
I feel sure we can open the small
er schools by then, but we may
find that It will be necessary to
delay the hish schools until eMh-
er September 9th, or.llth.
“I feel that we have the trans
portation worked out so that we
will not be delayed on that ac
count.- -
A discount of two per cent will
be allowed on all Wilkes county
taxes paid on or before Septem
ber 1, as provided by law, and
all taxpayers who can conveni
ently do so are urged to pay and
save the discount.
The 1935 taxes will be collect
ed by C. H. Ferguson, county
accountant, until Sheriff Somers
makes settlement for the 1934
' taxes and gets the new books
for collection.
Those who can pay their taxes
and save the discount may get
the valuation from the register
of deeds and a receipt will be is-
sued by'the county accountant.
