SANFORD, LEE COUNTY Inhabited Almost Entirely By Native Americans Who are Loyal, In dustrious and Progressive. l!*i it *v ;« A. JULY 16, 1931, FIVE CENTS County Will Save $61,000 JLEE TAXPAYERS TO ; SAVE $61,000 BY NEW LEGISLATION State' Taxpayers, Statistics Rfr veal, Will Be Better Off By $12,0.003)00. SCHOOL SAVING IS $47,000. Lee taxpayers will profit to the extent of $61,955 as a result ' of school and road legislation enacted by the recent . Geperal Assembly. This represents the total savings to taxpayers as re presented by the decrease-frpm the 1930 property tax levies. This-amount," as revealed in a state ment just released by the State Tax ■ Commission, represents a saving of $14,624 to property owners accruing from the State’s taking oyer the maintenance of all county roads, and of $47,331 as a result of.-the state wide school law which reduces the tax on property for the support of the schools to 15 cents. The aver age reduction in rate for the schools, in Lee is 41.9 cents and for roads 9.9 cunts. A net reduction of $12,167, 849 from the 1930 property tax levies for the six months school term and county roads will be realized by North aCro lina -tax-payers as a result of the school and road legislation of the 1931 General Assembly. f igures comjmeu anu ,ed by the State Tax Commission in dicate that a saving of nearly twelve and a quarter million dollars from* the actual 1930 levies will accrue to tl.'o | owners of property from the passage ; of the administration road law un der which the state takes over the en-. tire maintenance of county toads, and the McLean school law under which : the state takes over the entire main-,, tenance of the six.months school term and reduces the levies on property for "school support to'15 cents. ' : • r Th-o net reduction from the 1930 levy for the six months school term,, is $9,652,491, and fpr roads; $2,515,- t 358. The average reduction in fate, 090. iHC ... for schools is 82 dents, and for roads ~9 cents. v^-' „ none of 'which is to be levied in 1941. The counties will have to assume additional responsibility Uii. year, however, in the amount ef $2,736,766 for the payment of county road debt service which last year ■ was paid out of state aid appropriated to the counties. This leaves-* net reduction from the 1930 actual levy fof two and one half millions. While the twelve and one-ouarter million dollar decrease from the ac* tual levy in 1930 is the biggest total reduction in property taxes ever ef fectuated at one time in the history of North Carolina—a reduction of more than twenty fcer cent of the to tal taxes levied on property, county, municipal, and district, for nil poses—the reduction itself would be $600,000 bigger if every county had levied, in 1930, as much as it actual ly spent for road maintenance that ye>f" number of counties have been spending a great deal moiv for road maintenance than they have been levy ing. For example, Buncombe County spent $327,000 in the year ending June 30, 1930; but in 1930 Buncombe county levied a rate of only five hun dredths of one cent—or $819—for roads. If Buncombe county had rais ed its road maintenance funds from taxes it would have had to levy twen ty cents. In the same year Craven County spent $81,267, and levied a rate of three-tenths of one cent which pro duced $807. It spent nearly $80,000 more than it levied, and would have found it necessary to levy a rate of its road expenditures out of road tax thirty events for roads if it had met levies. ... ' _, i, ine same cumuwiio , — other counties. Currituck county, which spent $18,486 for the year end ing June 30, 1930, did not levy any lax for road maintenance in 1930. f The average state-wide reduction! for roads and schools combined is 41 Cents. The twelve counties receiving j the greatest reduction are lead by Rutherford with an even $1.00, fol- i lowed by Dare with»77 cvnts, Colum- j bus 69 cents, Vance 68 cents, Nash 67 cents, Currituck, 64 cents, Pitt 64 cents, Scotland 64 cents, Union 62; cents, Davidson 61 cents, Greene 60 cents, and Camden 60 cents. I The county receiving the lowest re duction from the 1930 levy for schools and roads is Clay, which could not-re ceive a large reduction froan last year’s rate, because it levied only . $10,500 for roads and schools com-. bined. When it again assumes the payment of its road debt service J charges, for which is received last. year $10,000 of state aid, its tax rate will actually be increased 13 cents. This county levied only $8,377 for roads last year, but it actually spent twice this amount. The true net re-, suit of the operation of the school and road ldw bill, therefore, leave Clay rate in 1931 as in 1930. This county | . county with approximately the same service needs (not Operating costs) for roads and schools requiiv; a levy tax rate for the reason that its debt incidentally has a high total county of $1.39. ' ! On the whole, the eastern part of the stato will receive a larger reduc- i tion in rate than the central or wes tern. The average reduction of'the counties in the Coastal Plain is 52 cents, and the Tide-Water Section 41 cents. On the othaft1 hand. Piedmont counties receive • reduction of 39 cents, and Mountain counties a reduc tion of 33 cents. LEE FARMERS SEEDED OVER 300 ACRES TO LESPEDEZA WITH SPLENDID RESULTS There is more lespedeza grcftving in Lee county this year than has ever been grown in the county in any plu vious year. More thaii three hundred acres were seeded to lespedeza dur ing the winter and spring months by the farmers of this county. " v. . The stands are good in most fields and the lespedeza is growing nicely, but jn a good_ many of the fields that 1 have seen in the past week weeds are beginning to grow. Where Jesr pedeza is being grown for hay or Seed these weeds should. be clipped off. Since lespedeza plants usually grow off slow during the first part of the season, wefeds and grass will sometimes retard the lespedeza grow th considerably.. Where lespedeza has been planted hi with small grain, cutting the grain also guts the large weeds and 'gives the lespedeza a1 :hance to gr</ir, but it'is usually ne cessary to cut the weeds again in July. Clean meadows are essential if good quality hay and seed are to Iaj obtained. ■ ,s v; t or this weed clipping the regular mowing machine is used, i with the cutter bar set to run as high as pos sible and thus clip only the tips of some of the lespedeza plants. His may be done by setting the tilting lever forward and raising the bar as high as possible in this Way. In ad iition the inner and outer shoe plates on the under side of the cutter bar should be raised as high as possible. If these adjustments are properly made it should be possible to clip the plants six to eight inches high, which will get'most of the weeds and retard die growth of the lespedeza very ittle. . 4 ' SHORT/ SESSION OF COURT HELD Glenn Edwards Prosecutes,'Coun ty Docket In Absence of . Solicitor K. R. Hoyle. Tuesday’s session of Recorder’s 3ourt,-though a short one due to the ibsCnoe of Solicitor K. R. Hoyle, was n one respect unique; There was not r single liquor.case tried.

Malone said on his be lalf that he cOuldnt find work and vas doing the best he could, adding hat he worked when he found any hing to do. He said he lived on the labiey Teague farm, near the Sea. >oard Air Line Railroad, and had be pin a crop there this year but had >een forced to abandon .most of th,e crop •when a time merchant had re fused to extend further credit to him.

IITTEN BY SNARE, CHILD’S LIFE IS SAVED B Y LONG RIDE FOR ANTITOXIN A daring automobile ride by Mrs. Bob Thomas last night for antitoxin probably saved the life of little Billy Ledbetter, five-year-old sop of Mr. and Mrs. Mason Led better, who was bitten by a large copperhead snake about eight o’clock as he: played upon the lawn of the Ledbetter home.

Foster, who was called to the home im mediately after the incident. First aid was administered the child at the hospital. Though his leg is badly swollen, Billy is said to be getting along fine and is well on the road to recovery, it was said from the hospi tal this morning. rUDGE CRANMER TO OPEN COURT I IN LEE MONDAY )ne Murder Case and Two Crim inal Assault Cases Are Up For Trial.

Georg^ Goss, young mulatto rAgro, who is held in the Lee jail where he hwaits trial at the July term 'of the Superior Court for the murder of his wife, Sally Goss, last Thursday confessed to Sheriff Hives and Deputy Sheriff Paul W atson that he killed her after a heated gument over domestic affairs. Goss told the officers that he struck his wife while in the- heat of passion, killing her with one blow. He main tained he had no intention of making away with her when they started on the early morning drive that turned out to be a “death ride.” Goss also told the officers that testimony offer ed by several of the witnesses who testified at the coroner’s hearing that they saw him pass through the Mexi co section on the morning of the kill ing, going into the direction of the Colon road, was unfounded, and that he took another route on the way out there. _ A pair of pants, belonging to Goss, and believed to have been worn by him at the time the crime was committed, and on which there are blood stains, 'were found by the mother of ^ the dead woman after the coroner s in quest. The blood-splotched trousers are being held by the sherifl. A razor, found on the prisoner at the time of his arrest, and believed to have been the weapon with which he commiteed the crime, is also in the possession of the sherifl. The edge of the razor is badly worn and there is a vicious gap in it which is thought to have been made during the fatal assault. Goss, in his statement to the offi cers, denied strongly any element of premeditation insisting that the mur der was unintentional and committed while in an angry passion. ROSS CARVER IS HEARD BY LOCAL CIVIC LEADERS Sees Epochal Results Made Pos sible By Recent -Trend of Events. REVISION OF YOUNG PLAN There is the belief that Europe may De affected profoundly by the turn )f events, the results abroad may Drove epochal and a new and better lay may be ushered in for millions )f people in other lands. In the United States the most that can be loped for is some ultimate improve nent in business. It may tye that Germany, if she emerges succ'.ssful y from her present difficulties, will find herself -galvanized into nuw life ind the people of that counti. placed in a position to buy a greater amount Df American exports. This vidw was expressed in an in forming talk made before the San ford Rotary Club Tuesday by jfc auhre ‘ er, -of Greensboor' president 46 atioi them •g an< 5 th< >ay t< othei in Germany 6 Europe and the deplorable . in which these countries 1. selves. In 1929, Owen D. others fixed $9,249,000,000 amount which Germany mu the Allies as reparations. I: words, Germany must pay $475,000, 000 for a long period as loser in the war. Actually she has paid very lit tle of this huge amount to date. To day she owes twice what she owed jwhen the reparations were fixed or i account of changing values^ All com modifies have gone down, all debtors suffer. For this and other reasons many people in Germany are opposed to paying the full amount of repara tions as agreed upon and one poli tical faction, the Communists, favox Repudiating Germany’s entire wai debt. President Hoover’s plan would giv€ Germany one year of relief from hei yearly payments. It is hard to find s man, said Mr. Carver, who believe? that Gemany 'will be able a y^ai hence to resume payments on the old I scale. In other words, the Young [Plan will have to be revised in the light of the business depivssion. LAYS CLAIM TO STATE HONORS Sadler Will Claim State Semi Pro Chaimpionship For Local Baseball Team.

Under the head of automobile don’ts we suggest: (1) Keep off the highways on holidays. (2) Don’t try to mix gasoline and liquor. It won’t work advantageously. (3) Don’t drive 60 miles per hour, going nowhere and waste haif an hour buying coca cola at some wayside filling station. (4) Don’t take chances on curves and giades as some other fool may be in just as big a hurry as you are. (5) Don’t show your temper about hack seat driving as she is only looking out for your future abode. (6) Don't park -your automobile on a highway to hold a necking party. The country roads and bypaths were constructed especially for this purpose. (7) Don’t hog the highways. The other fellow bought his gasoline, also and paid his prorata tax. According vo a. mw -wiucu the last General Assembly in case of I an automobile accident if the party to blame for the accident has a judgment in the sum of not ivsS than $100.00 docketed against him and judgment is not paid within 30 days the State will cancel automobile li cense and he will not be permitted to S run the car until the judgment is paid j or liability insurance providing pro | tection to public in the sum of $5,000 ! injury to one person or $10,000 pro perty damage.” | Dr. Waylon Blue, *f Jonesboro, 1 made an interesting talk on first aid to people injured in automobile acci dents, drowning or bitten by poison ous snakes. J. W. Kirkpatrick advocated mak ing’the lot between the Carolina Ho ' tel and the Temple Theatre a play ground for small children. The mat ter was referred to the Public Af ! fairs Committee. The meeting Friday night will be -held at Tramway and the Club will be , served dinner by the ladies club at that place. The speaker of the oc j easion will be Prof. Ruffin, of State College. I J WHO DID IT? i 1 On a recent Sunday night som'o • ’ person or persons went to the Kim • ! rey and Johnson garage on Steele i Street and stoic from boxes , in the i windows their prettiest geraniums ■ and ferns. The men who own this > garage have spent money and time ‘ | making the windows and plots at I tractive, and they are to be congra r I tulated for it. The destruction or r 'stealing of flowers cultivated to beautify a place and please the pub ; lie is a pretty mean trick. - j The people of Sanford are taking r more interest than ever in beautify • ing their surroundings. Why not en j courage them in <every way you can ? l I Mrs. Mae Creech has returned to her home here after spending some ! time with friends in Kinston. | Mr. Warlick, who is connected with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, was a visitor here Wednesday.
