It is said that last week was the biggest of the season on the tobacco markets of Robeson county. The Lumberton market sold a half mil lion pounds during the week and some grades have sold as high as 80 cents, and according to newspaper reports the prices are higher this veek than they were last week. The crop will be practically sold by the end of next week.. The markets will remain, open for some weeks yet, however. Down to 1914 the average price for tobacco for ten years was 15 cents, and the increase has been rap id and steady since that time. Fer tilizers and labor, which are impor tant factors in the crop, have treb led in the last ten years.

SEPTEMBER-a, 1920 THE NEW TAX RATES The valuation of property, both real and personal, made by the as sesers this year, is aproved. No tax on property or polls shall be levied in 1920 for the use of the btate pension fund. A tax of 13 cents on every $100 worth of real or personal property shall be levied for the State public schools. This tax to be paid by each poll or male between 21 and 50, un less exempted for good cause by the county commissioners. 1 The governing authorities nf mi,. 'nicipalities may levy taxes up to an increase or io per cent over the to tal amount of revenue of 1919, but any more than this shall be illegal. Whenever a special tax has been VOted for a SDeCial SChnol term anH there are insufficient funds to run the school for the year 1920-1 Q5i borrow enough trom the State board of education to finish out the school term. The franchise tax on corporations is increased from 1-25 of one per cent to 1-10 of one per cent. The railroad franchise tax shall be 1-10 of one per cent of the tangi ble and intangible property. The privilege tax on telegraph companies shall be $7-50 per mile which such company operates in this State. The privilege tax on telephone companies shall be 3 per cent of the gross receipts, except in certain cas es. The privilege tax on telegraph companies shall be $5-00 per mile for each pole mile of line owned or operated in this State. : The privilege tax n chair and sleep ing car companies shall be 3 per cent of the earnings for the previous year. $250 for license to fire insurance company. THERE IS NO END TO BUYING AUTOMOBILES The country is just beginning to buy automobiles if we may believe the researches of Park Mathewson, vice president of the Business Bour se, who is writing in Farbes Maga zine. Mathewson finds three groups of people in the United States with incomes from $1,000 to. $4,000, who could" buy something like 17,000,000 machines if they should go at it like they went at the purchase of Liberty bonds. Mathewson invites the pub lic to fix 'its attention on groups which he designates one, two and three, with incomes respectively, $1, 000 to $2,000; $2,001 to $33,000, 'and $3,001 to $4,000- He finds that hypothetical figures of one of New York's largest trust companies, esti mated during the war period, show ed that each of the above groups might contribute, in one year, to the purchase of Liberty bonds as follows: Group one, $209; group two, $518; 'group three $931- On the basis of the same investment per annum in a motor car and its upkeep, if pay ments could be extended over a f our- 'year period, it is evident that thedf Bry-r"! '': " 'TT V, ! u.a1'? Si f'SLT'i'A VI . of money in one year to bend pur chase might buy an automobile costing in each group, respectively, $700, $1,200, or $2,000 e?.ch. Us ing figures shown by this same trust company (assuming that these groups consist in 1920 of the same number of families,) they could, on the same reasoning, buy the stupen dous total of over 16, 00 0 0 00 autos at between $600 and $700 and a half-a-million machines at around $2, '000. LISTEN FOR THE OXFORD SrHOOL BELL NEXT MONDAY MORNING Everything is in readiness for the opening of school on Monday morning- Teachers who have not already arrived will be here before Friday night- . The buildings have been put in good repair and thoroughly clean ed, so I see no reason why school work should not start off nicely. The public is. cordially invited to come up to the opening exercises Monday morning. Standing room only is promised. There is to be a get together meet ing at the West Oxford school to night, September 3, at 7:30 o'clock. This is to a kind of a community sing with short talks by some of the pastors in town. SUPERINTENDENT. OXFORD SCHOOL CENSUS Decrease of Twenty-Six Over Last Year, Making, a Total of 786. The School Census of Oxford has been completed and shows an in crease of twenty six over last year's Census. Last year there were on the Census 760 this year 786 This small increase does not neces sarily mean that the number of fa milies and children who have come to Oxford to live is small, for there have been a great many new famili es to move into the town during the past year. The small gain arises from the fact that about twelve fami lies with a large number of children in each moved to other places, among them being J. N. Norwood, J. R. Gaston, W. H. Moore, W. A. Hluzek, j. T. Perkins, A. Bergen, F. P. Bland, T. C. Harris, Juno Turner, W. T. Byrd. OF NORTH CAROLINA $300 for license to' life insurance company. $200 for license of accident insur ance company. $300 for license to marine insur ance company. $200 for license to surety insur ance company. $200 for license to plate glass insurance company. $200 for license to boiler insur ance company. $100 for license to domestic mu tual insurance company. $25 for license to doemstic mu tual insurance company, in not more than two counties. .$25 for license to fraternal order insurance company, . 200 for license to guaranty and investment companies. All of the above companies shall pay a privilege tax of 2 1-2 per cent on their gross receipts. No munici pal corporation shall be allowed to impose any additional fee or tax. Taxes for real and personal prop erty for 1920 .shall be charged a gainst the person who owns the pro perty on January 1, 1920. Here after, all property shall be listed as of May 1. During the month of .May and June of any year any person who thinks that his property has de creased in value, may petition the board of commissioners of his coun ty for a reassessment. If he is not satisfied with their assessment, he can appeal to the Stte tax commis sion, whose word is final. Th board of commissioners may during May or June of any year, raise the assessed value of any prop erty, upon rten days notice to the owner thereof. The owner of such property may appeal from this hear ing to. the State tax commission. WOMEN WILL REGISTER HERE FOR ELECTION Will Not Be Required To Pay Poll Tax This Year, Under Provisions Of TJie Machinery Act. Within a few weeks real prepara tions will be under way here fore the registration of the women , of Gran ville county, who will vote for the first time in their lives at the Nov ember elections, as the. result .of the ratification of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage Federal amendment to the Constitution. While it is claimed by " anti-suffragists that the majority of the women of the county care but little about the ballot, it is conceded that there are a number Of suffragists here who really are anxious to vote, and these are expected to register 100 percent strong. Those who feel sufficiently interested to register will very likely follow up that action by voitng on November 2. The registration books will open thirty or forty days prior to election day, it is declared, and women may enroll alcng with the men. No question will be asked as to poll tax when the ladies hunt up the 'registration officials. The election I machinery enacted by the extra ses sion of the Legislature following the ratification of the amendment by "Tennessee provides that the women shall not be charged any poll tax this year. Presumably this is because of the short time before election and the difficulty in collecting from the women. After this year, however, the women must pay a poll tax the -same as the men. In seme sections of the State something on the order of an up heaval is expected as the result of the voting of the women. Such a turn in affairs is not looked for in Granville county, and at this dis tance from election day, the event is expected to pass off without any un usual occurences, except the sight of the feminine appearances at the election booths. Election officers will very prob ably be selected, by the Board of County Commissioners at their regu lar meeiing Monaay, ana arrange ments will be made for the registra- tion of the women. Definite an- nouncements as to the registration dates will very probably be made a( that time.

J si NO. 70 'CAMPAIGN TO BE WAGED TO EDUCATE WOMEN TO VOTE The North Carolina League of Women Voters, which is the new title of what was the North Caroina Equal Suffrage Association, with the proclamation of enfranchisement is sued by the Secretary of State, begins a systematic campaign for the educa tion of the women of North Carolina for the duties involved in their new political freedom. 1 Miss Gertrude Weil, of Goldsboro, president of the League of Women Voters in this State, announces that it it the plan of the new organiza tion . continualy to keep before the 'women tof North Carolina the fact that they are enfranchised, in order to combat any possible attemots that may be made towards their deception in. vino icgaiu. It is to be the purpose of the league 'to stress the fact that it is the duty 'of every North Carolina woman to vote in-order to contribute to the sup- port and improvement of the govern- ment wnose privileges she now en- joys. The League also proposes to urge .constantly that North arolina women study intelligently the machinery of the government, and the records and 'character of the men who stand for 'election of office, and that they vote ffor the best candidate and the best measure at all times. GRANVILLE CO. DEMOCRATS WILL LAUNCH CAMPAIGN Sneakers To Canvass Voters Later ' On As Election Day Approaches. While no definite plans have been formulated by the Democratic exe cutive committee as yet for a cam paign this fall in the county, it is understood that a number of speech es will very probably be aranged for in various parts of the county during the next two months. ' . State issues are expected to play perhaps as much part in the election this year as are national questions- Principal interest of the Damn-, i cratic committee, it is said, centers arouna tne new entry of the woman voter, and much of its efforts will be expended in seeing to it that the women are properly registered when the time comes, so that they may be qualified to vote this year. A meeting of the executive com mittee will, likely .. be held toward the end of September to plan for the wind-up of the campaign, which ex pects to roll up a majority probably even larger than heretofore. ELECTRIC SIGNS ARE TO BLAZE FOR COX Within a week or two the country will be blazing with Cox electrical signs, erected by members cf the Cox Electric League, which was formed a few weeks ago and which already consists of 9,000 members, electrical f workers, in all parts of the United States. The model sign, consisting of a circle with an "X" in it, was design ed by George Williams, of New York, who originated the idea of lighting the Statue of Liberty and carried out the details of the work. First, three-quarters of the circle are lighted, forming the latter "C," then the entire circle, making the "O," and last the cross in the center.
