AD VALOREM TAX RATE FOR
EACH COUNTY IS GIVEN
Ca.well County Hm Highest and
Scotland Lowest Rate in the State,
Caswell countv. with a levy of
$1.61, has the highest tax rate in the
state and Scotland countv. with a 48
cent levy, has thex lowest rate, accord-
' m r
ing to figures given out by Tax Com-
missioner Watts office showing the ad
valorem rate and the poll In each of
the 100 counties.
The list, while not intended for
that purpose, serves as an answer to
the republican cries of "high taxes"
which the minority party is launch
ing. Lower rates are found in the
democratic counties, while generally
the republican counties have a high
rate, the figures indicate.
Thirty- of the 100 counties have a
rate in excess of $1. The average
rate in the other counties, as the list
shows is around 80 cents.
Poll tax returns from $1.41 in
Scotland to $3.66 in Wilkes. In most
of the counties, however, the poll is
at $2.
The list of tax rates levied for
1921 in the various counties, which
applies only to the counties as a
whole and does not include special
township and district taxes for
schools, roads and other purposes,
which apply to townships, districts
and other divisions, is as follows,
giving first the county, then tax per

"And There Wn't the Slightest
Smell from Dead Rats."
Writes John Simpkins, farmer of
Annandale, N. J.: "Rats were cost

ferrets, prison, could not get rid of
them. Bought $1.25 pkg. of RAT
SNAP (5 cakes). Used half, not a
live rat since. Dead ones a plenty. I

rats it dries them up leaves no
smell.". Three sizes, 35c, 65c, $1.25,

HOW SAFE' MILK SUPPLY IS
INSURED FOR SMALL 1 TOWNS
Milk insDection is of prime neces-
sity In most of the larger ' cities
laboratories are maintained where
(bacteria counts and chemical analys-
es are frequently made oh samples
collected from retail delivery wagons,
stores, and restaurants. But; the
small cities and towns that can-not
aitord the expense of a tester ana
laboratory find it Jiard to give pro
per supervision to their milk supplies.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that a practical
way for such cities and towns to in
sure a safe milk supply is through
the cooperation of two or more ad
jacent towns in hiring a milk inspec
tor . and maintaining a . laboratory.
The cost of supervising such a plan
may be prorated among the different
towns on the basis of population
without the expense being burden
some to any one of them. State and
Federal authorities are -always will
ing to cooperate in work of this sort.
This plan of town , cooperation in
milk and dairy inspection has been
carried out in different parts of the
country, probably the most conspicu
ous example being the group of towns
in northern New Jersey known as
"The Oranges." In -these towns the
plan has been in use fqr a number of
years with results that have . been
very satisfactory to all concerned.

MEMORIAL TO MRS.
C. F. KIRKSEY
Mrs. Charles . F. Kisksey died at
Grace Hospital in Morganton on
March the 27th, 1922, at nine o'clock
a. m.
On the previous Thursday she had
undergone a very serious operation
and while great concern was felt in
regard to her recovery sanguine
hopes filled the hearts of her many
friends. But these hopes were soon
(dashed to the ground as the words
passed over the lines to the? near and
dear ones that Mrs. Kirksey was pass
ing away. How helpless and grief
stricken the announcement made
them feel, no one can ever describe.
But to the dear one who was pass
ing there were no terrors, for she as
sured the wathchers by her bed-side
that she had no fears and was only
waiting to be called from labor to re
ward. To her this was no death, only a
transition to a higher and better
clime, where the inhabitants never
say, "I am sick." Mrs. Kirksey was
laid to rest in the old cemetery at her
home in Dysartsville, surrounded byl

As the funeral procession, neared
the church a great, mass of .people
could be seen standing waiting its
coming. Although this was a busy
time the friends had all laid aside
their urgent work to do hoAor to her
who was their early acquaintance in
her childhood days. The near and
dear, bent beneath the deep sorrow,
stood rooted to the, spot their tears
flowing and longing, in-their hearts
for a touch of ; a .vanished 5 hand and
the sound of a voice that was still in
