BILLS TO PLACE COUNTY OFFICIALS 1 ON SALARY PASS Sheriff and County Solicitor on | Salary—Recorder's Salary Raised Tax Collec tor to be Appointed | The sheriff of Rutherford county j land the solicitor of the recorder's! court will be on a salary basis, in stead of a fee system, after Decem ber 1930. After that date the job of collecting taxes will be given to the county tax collector and taken! from the sheriff's department, i Representative Biggerstaff and .Senator Beam have been working on ! several bills in reference to reducing | compensations allowed certain offic (ers. These bills were formally passed | and became laws Friday. While The | Courier has been unable, to date, to | secure copies of these bills it is un j derstood unofficially that the salary |of sheriff will be $3,000 per year, ! while that of the solicitor of the re jcorder's court will be $2,500. The salary of the recorder has been rais ed SSOO per year under a bill to reg j ulate the salary of county officers, j A tax collector will be appointed j for the county after December 1930, | who will have charge of collecting 'all county taxes. His salary, it is j understood, will be $2,500. This collector will handle the collection ;of taxes exclusively, thereby reliev ing the sheriff's department of a large amount of work. ! The passage of these bills seem to be highly satisfactory to a large per cent of Rutherford county people. jThe placing of the sheriff and solici tor on salary and other changes made will result in a saving of approxi mately $16,000 annually for the county. Plays have been failing rapidly on Broadway. People can't get inter ested in the same old line of profani ty. The children of these days will make good disciplinarians when they grow up. Note the practice that they are getting on their parents.

Perhaps, demonstra tions in seed treatment will be given, i Sweet potato growing in the Ellen jboro community has developed with ! in the past two years to a point where the sweet potato has come to be one of the best cash crops for farmers. | The rapid development can be at tributed to the building of the two sweet potato storage houses with a total capacity of 10,000 bushels un der the name of "Ellenboro Sweet !
