RALEIGH, May 1 The State
Senate, after adopting almost in its
entirety its Finance committee's re
port, nassed the Revenue Bui, in
cluding the three per cent general
sales tax, but on two days, when it
came ur for second reading, adopt
ed amendments which threw it back
on its first reading, the results be
ing that it was on its second read
ing Monday and third reading Tues
day in that body.
However, by the amendments
adopted, including elimination of
some basic necessities from the gen
eral sales tax operation, and raising
, rates of franchise taxes on certain
corporations, railroads, telegraph
and telephone, and public utlities,
the Senate has brought the bill near
er the House measure and there is a
possibility that the House will adopt
thp bill as it comes over from the
Senate without necessity for a con
ference committee to iron out dif
ferences. Should the House .adopt the bill, it
" is barely possible, but not likely, that
te General Assembly can complete

Carteret County was shocked, ear-
jly this week when it was learned that
one of its most influential citizens.
William Arendell Mace, had passed
away at his home here while asleep
a few minutes after eleven o'clock
Sunday night. Although Mr. Mace
had been in declining health for the
past year anda half, he did not seem
to be any worse last week and con
tinued daily with his various enter
prises. He was 57 years old.
The passing of Mr. Mace iwill be
greatly felt throughout Carteret
County and elsewhere. During the
past several decades Mr. Mace has
been operating the Gaskill-Mace
Hardware Company here. He was al
so a banker and was at one time pres
ident of the Bank of Beaufort. At
the time of his death,. Mr. Mace was
president of the Taylor's Creek Fish
Scrap and Oil Company, and also
was vitally interested .in . a .similar
concern with its plant located at
Fernandina, Florida.
. Mr.- Mace : believed in . Carteret
County and local enterprises. He
took part in all . of the progressive
movements around here. When the
Atlantic, Beach resort was projected
he became one of the original pro
moters and for- one season- served as
the manager of the resort.
During the trying times of the past
three or four years Mr.' Mace endeav
ored to keep his-various enterprises
going so-that his employees might
have lucrative work. At times during
the past several-years the numerous
businesses Mr. Mace was interested in
employed between five hundred and
a thousand Carteret County men. Mr.
Mace was known to be one of the
foremost business men of this sec
tion.
Mr. Mace was public-spirited and
was interested in all civic improve
ments. He was always willing to ac
cept . responsibility wherever and
whenever he could be of service to
his fellowman. Although he made no
show of it, he made many contribu
tions to charity when he deemed it
worthy.
In addition to his business connec
tions, Mr. Mace entered largely into
the other activities of the communi
ty. For many years he was a member
of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and
for the past quarter of a century has
been a vestryman. He was a Mason
anda Shriner and was for several
years master of the local lodge. He
was a charter member of the Beau
fort Rotary Club. He was greatly in
terested in politics, and during his
early life he was postmaster here for
several years. - i
Mr. Mace was the son of the late
Dr. Borden and Mrs. Minnie Davis
Mace. Doctor Mace was one of the
pioneer practitioners in Carteret
County, while "Miss Minnie Mace"
is still favorably remembered by
many here as one of Beaufort's first
and best loved school teachers.
During his early life Mr. Mace at
tended the University of North Caro
lina and the Medical College of Vir
ginia, but forsook medicine for bus-
