In the short space of a year and a half they lived out the usefulness of their entire lives.

Some of the farms were sold to tobacco farmers from Stokes county, and others were exchanged among the citizens of the township. It seems that the land has brought an enormous price, but nevertheless, trie land in New Market is weli improved and some of the best tobacco and wheat growing soils are found in this township, than any other in the coun- 1 lit. ir uicio. j --- - :.iu ami assisting others in siraignwu ""s;tv The followmg have sold cut their anounem, uu.-.- .'farms A.

' Kheh her daughter, Maggie, became tne untie ui mi. jiiincat -. miui The following interesting and high ly instructive article by Lditor Clar ence Poe on the State s taxation plan, which appeared in the last Is sue of the Progressive Farmer, "ought to be read by everybody in North Car olina, says Gov. Bickett. All over North Carolina there is much interest in the State's new tax action policy and many inquires as to just what is proposed. 1 The matter has already been explain ed in The Progressive Farmer, but since that was several months ago, it seems well to explain the matter afresh to our fanners who are now report ing on their land values. 1. The $3000 Tax Exemption The new taxation of the State aims at three things: (1) Honesty in assessments. (2) A reduction in the tax rate to cor respond to the increase in assessed values. (3) Provision for lightening the burdens of poverty and industry, and putting a larger share of the burdens oi taxation on men with larger in comes. With regard to the latter point, we may note in the outset that the re cent Legislature was the first one to ti ke advantage of the authority given it by the Constitution to provide a $300 exemption for the tax-payers,this provision of the new law reading as follows: "From and after the year 1919 thei'e shall be allowed an exemption for each person of wearing apparel, arms fcr muster,, household and kitchen lurnitur, the mechanical and agricul tural instruments of mechanics and farmers, and labors and scientific in struments and provisions, not exceed ing a total value of three hundred dol lars." 2.

The conlereuce unanimously endors ed the League of Nations and yent on record as being opposed to universal military training. Discusion of the move consumed considerable time, it was decided that the plan be enlarged. Greensboro District J. H. Bamhart Presiding elder. Asheboro, A. C. Gibbs; Coleridge, F. W.
