Bonds Again Accepted On Taxes
'Under Agreement With W.O.W.
Transylvania tax payers again have the privilege of us
ing bonds in the payment of taxes, but the order which was
signed by Judge E. Y. Webb in Federal court last Saturday
is only for a period of sixty days, and thereafter, full payment
in '’ash will have to be made. _ _
County Attorney Pat Ktmiey receiv
ed a copy of the signed order Saturday
afternoon, and announcement was Im
mediately made through the tax col
lector’s office that bonds could again
be applied as partial payment of taxes,
In nearly the same status that the old
system was used—exception being that
In order to be able to pay 19*8 taxes
with bonds, the prior years’ taxes must
be taken care of beforehand or at the
' P^ne time.
It is expected. County Accountant
Ralph Lyday said Saturday afternoon,
that a rush business would be done In
the tax collectors office limuodiately. In
order that the saving which amounts
to one-third in 19S« taxea and even mote
In some of the previous yearn may be
taken advantage of.
The fact was stressed by Mr. Ktmzev
and Mr. Lyday that the extension of
time was only until March 1, 1937, and
they asked that The Times stress this
fact In announcing that extension of
time had been agreed upon by the
Woodmen of the World wtilch had se
cured the mandamws order 'on Novem
ber 16, stopping the acceptance of
bonds.
The Woodnw Order, 'which owns
over 3300,000 In Transylvania bonds,
agreed to the sixty-day modification of
the order upon petition of the board of
commissioners, who set out in their pe
tition to the federal court that inas
much as some of the taxpayers of the
county had been umtble to take advan
tage of the big saving effected In pay
ment of taxes with bonds, that an In
equality had been worked against tax
payers who bad not been forewarned
of the order stopping payment, and
that a reasonable time should, in all
fairness to tills group, be granted.
“pat Klmzey was employed by the
old board of commissioners to take the
matter Into federal eottric on November
17, and foTtowtrg hta appointment to
the post of county attorney on the first
Monday, he and the new board of com
missioners continued working in the
matter, and effected the compromise
without going tnto federal court for
re-hearing—the judge signing the
agreement for sixty-day extension last
Saturday.
It was made a part of the order, un
der the compromise agreement which
the Woodmen signed, that the legisla
tive member from Transylvania county
cause to be enacted a bill repealing the
order allowing payment of taxes with
bonds effective March 1, 1937. and
further, the agreement also contained
the clause that previous years’ taxes
had to be paid up before the tax col
lector would be allowed to accept 1936
payments with bonds. In other words,
all taxes now owing by a tax payer may
be paid with bonds, and 1936 or previous
years may be paid without paying the
1936 taxes, but hi order to take advan
tage of the saving In 1936 taxes, the
previous years’ must be paid also.
It was further, a part of the modified
agreement which the board was able
to secure from the Woodmen, that the
county would as rapidly as possible
work out and submit to the creditors of
the county, a plan for refunding the
county's obligations, and under the
plan which the refunding may be se
cured. payment of taxes with bonds
be stopped.
Honunoiaers or me county, mm me
town of Brevard also, who have been
contacted with a view to effecting a re
financing of the indebtedness, have
made it plain that there will be no more
acceptance of bonds on taxes after a
settlement has been made, and It Is
urged by officials that taxpayers take
advantage of the big saving by paying
their taxes—1936. and prior years’ taxes
immediately.
Tax Collector Lem Brooks states that
payment of taxes virtually ceased, upon
signing of the order by the federal court
on November 16, which stopped the tak
ing of bonds, and now that the order
has been changed for the 60-day period,
he is expecting tax payers to literally
flock into his office in order to take
advantage of the saving.

SUPERSALESMAN’S
GAB NETS HIM NEAT
SUM AROUND TOWN
Unsuspecting Brevard People
Plank Down First Pay
rantt and Get Stung
About two months ago, a most genial
visitor came to Brevard, and along with
his gen'altty and cordiality, also allow
ed. permitted, or yielded, or granted, or
suffered, or tolerated, a few cash pay
ments to be made "from them to him"
on very lew-priced, high-quality, suits,
overcoats. Jackets, and what-nots of the
wearable lire.
Quality of the goods the very amiable
fellow had -wss excellent, and the prices
for same (tailor made to measure 'n
everything) -wore extremely, excruciat
ingly, and drastically low.
The very fine business man had ail
the credentials that one could ask of
any great traveling salesman. His com
pany’s headquarters were in Chicago,
he said, and they did such a vast volume
of business that their overhead was
cut down to nothing-minus (near ’bout)
on any Individual ordei.
The company is so large, so the man
averred, that they could purchase thou
sands of yards of any par’icular fabric
at one time and thereby get an excep
tional price. Fact is, or was. (as the
super-salesman put it) several mills
sold their entire output to his concern,
and as the mills ran on one stabilized
fabric with their entire production al
ready sold, the price of the raw ma
terials was extremely down the ladder
from what other concerns of like nature
(but smaller in scope) had to pay.
He WAS a charming fellow. No doubt
about that. Further, he did not have to
push his line very hard—It was good
enough, coupled with the very, very
attractive prices, to sell itself.
So, he left Brevard with a stack of
orders that would make the best sales
man’s eyes goggle out, and of course
a “small down payment” on each ar
ticle ordered.
BUT—
The goods didn't come.
AND—
We suggest that our people buy at
home where they know with whom they
are dealing.
Merry Christmas‘
and
Happy New Year
The following business firms and individuals join in
wishing for everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Pros
' perous and Happy New Year. It has been a pleasure to

Ifi. Klimey said that'
underftoou In the outset
opposed to the sale of w
Carolina, provided adequate <
of the dry laws could he ban,
he would hate very much to
stores In operation here, but —_
counties *o the east, north, west *
south of Transylvania were to
whiskey stereo, Transylvania would _
his opinion, fare better to have a store
(not mere than two at. the outset) In the
county.
If a blU le passed making Ue liquor
control act state-wide In Its scope, Mr.
Klmzey said, he would favor ope’atlon.
and control of the stores entirely br the
state, with counties having no t'Kf In
who should operate the stores.
Further, Mr. Klmzey 1* of the opinion,
that mmagers of stores (If the state
wide control act vhlch ho favors Instead
of the county option plan were put Into
effect) shou'd be appointed by a state
commission, and should be paid a
I straight salary Instead of a commission.
This, he said, would, cut the tendency to
push the sale of whiskey.
(Bulk of the net profit* should go to
the stave Instead of the counties, Mr.
Klmzey bel'eves. The report of the state
commission proposed 80 per cent cf the
profits going to the counties and 20
per cent to the state. Mr. Kinney says
that he would favor the state taking
the major portion of the profits to be
derived from sale of liquor la the
stores and putting the money Icto the
old age pension fund.
I Along with passage of the state-wide
control act. Mr. Klmzey said that he
would urge passage of a law making It
a felony to transport or bootleg Illicit
whisky, or to d:-ive a car while under
the Influence of whisky, and more se
vere punishment for public drunken
| ness.
If the state would not pass such laws,
Mr. Klmzey said that he would endeavor
to have such a law made applicable only
to Transylvania county, In event a
state-wide control act were passed.
The Transylvania representative said
that while his personal opinion was that
a state-wide act would be far more prac
tical than the present manner In which
bootlegging and promiscuous drinking Is
being permitted, that he would be guid
ed by people of the county In the mat
ter, and that he would appreciate people
letting him know before the legislature
meets on January 7, as to their opinions
In the matter.
