TAX-LISTING TIME.
Yhis Year the Month of May is the
Date to Tax Property.
During May instead of
the month of June as hereto
fore there will be in all counties
in the State the assessment and
listing of property for taxation
and giving in of polls and the
North Carolina Corporation Com
mission has the supervision of
this work in all the counties as
State tax commission. This time
assessments will be limited to
improvements or damages as
real estate was assessed last
year for a four-year period. The
commission says "the assessment
of property of the entire State
fur 1911 showed a total of 2() per
cent gain." Necessarily the
attention of assessing officers
was given largely to the valua
tion of real estate. This time
the real estate assessments will
be nominal and greater attention
can be given to personal property
and incomes. The commission
says that it is a matter of regret
that there was an actual decrease
in the incomes listed for taxa
tion.

FOR COMMISSIONERS.
Mr. L. J. Young Names a Board
Who He Thinks Would Fill the
Bill.
Dnn' —y. April 30.
Editor Danb .. reporter:
As the ti.i. • is approaching
when we shall be ready to nomi
nate candidates for the various
county offices. I desire space
through the columns of your
paper to suggest a board of
county commissioners. I con
sider that our county com
missioners are the most impor
tant officials of the county.
They should be men in whose
judgment the people have con
fidence. and men who have suc
ceeded in their own business,
showing their capability and
fitness for the public business.
At the same time they should be
men who are abreast of the
times, and who are conscious of
the needs of our county. I
don't believe we could find three
better men for this position
than Chap Bodenheimer, of Ger
manton: Riley F. Fulk, of Pin
nacle, and Joseph Martin, of
Danbury Route 1. These are
long-headed, safe and conserva
tive citizens, yet they are pro
gressive, and know what is the
thing to do in the management
of our county affairs.
Subject to the action of the
Republican county convention,
I nominate for county com
missioners Bodenheimer, Fulk
and Martin.
