A tardy winter swept over this sec tion last Sunday, loosing high winds, driving's heavy rain and churning mountainous waves in a storm that was worse, fishermen said, than any here in nearly half a century. Many homes were washed away as the turbulent sea undermined founda tions. hundreds of thousands of dol lars went to the sea's bottom as nets were torn to pieces, and today fam ilies in a number of communities de pended on the mainland to furnish the necessities of life. The loss to the fishing industry was two-fold: equipment waa washed away, and with it went the means of providing money to purchase new equipment Counties Slow To Send. Collections From Poll Taxes D»«lr Dleeete* Harena. la the Sir Wiltrr Hotel. (IT J. C. DAIRFRVtLt Raleigh, March 12.—A total of ap proximately $025,000 should be collect ed by the counties so rthe school fund from the poll taxes, since the law provides that $1.50 of every $2 poll tax collected shall be sent to the State treasurer to become a part of the school fund. But so far only a little more than $70,000 has been sent to the State treasurer by the counties from poll tax collections, according to the records. If the counties will collect and send in the revenue from the poll tax, they can get 80 per cent of their collections back, since the State Board of Equal isation Ims already decided that it will use only 20 per cent of poll tax re venue for the six months school term, but will return 80 per cent back to the counties to be used for mainten ance of plant and fixed charges, it was pointed out today by L*Hoy Mar tin. executive secretary of the board. But this 20 per cent is based on a tots) estimated revenue of $020,000, or $125,000. If the entire $625,000 should becollected and turned Into the State treasurer’s office, only $125,000 would b« retained and the remaining $500,000 would be turned back to the counties. If the counties do not send in more tfc.r go per cent of their poll tax col lections, they will get nothing back, however. • go many of the counties have not yet sent in as much as 20 per cent of the estimated revenue from poll taxes.

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, March 12.—The sen ate’s investigation of the New York stock market might be Intensely in teresting if the folk who started it desired to make it so. They appear to have changed their minds, however. According to Senator Brookhart of lowa and other economic malcontents In both political parties, the agitation for a "probe” was started by admin istration regulars, who were disap pointed by the market's failure to soar more decidedly following crea tion of the Reconstruction Finance corporation and the adoption of va rious supplementary measures intend ed to lift the depression. In brief, the idea was to ascertain what started prices down in the first place, and why, with the encourage ment they have received, they do not rise faster and higher. There is no doubt of this—the bean were the traden it was sought to put on the pan; not the bulls. As soon as tbs suggestion was made that the inquiry's Bcope be so extended as to account for the tre mendous figures at which stocks sold before the crash of 1929, the ssnaton who previously had been demanding It lost Interest; In fact, began to ex press objections to any Inquiry what (Oonttaued on Fag* Kw-i HENDERSON, N.

It is also generally conceded that the con sumers and ultimate users of manu factured goods will be the ones who will pay most of this tax. rather than the manufacturers. It waa reported here today that R. Gregg Cherry, of Gastonia, arch enemy of a State sales tax in the 1931 General Assembly, is already be ing talked of as a prospective can didate for Congress against Congress man A. L.
