A BILLION WORTH OF UNLISTED
PROPERTY IN STATE SAYS
N. C. CLUB
"Our State Revenues and Per
Capita Cost of Government" was
the subject for discussion Monday
night at one of the most interest
ing meetings which the North
Carolina Club has held this year.
The discussion was led by Mr. 13.
II. Hobbs, who presented a weU
prepared paper on the subject and
pointed out many startling facia
in regard to State government
which he had unearthed in hU
study of this question.
He showed that North Carolina
ranks from 46th to 48th in amount
of revenue derived for State pn-
poses, and that it is one of the
most economically managed states
in the Union. In onlv one state is
the per capita cost of government
smaller. r '
He pointed out, also, that tho
tax payers of the State pay only
2-5 of the State revenues, yet they
are continually complaining of the
exorbitant tax rates imposed to
cover the State's necessary expen
ditures. The tax payers of North
Carolina are actually hiding from
the sheriff more than a billion dol
lars worth of property, which they
have never listed on the tax books.
But probably the most interest
ing fact which Mr. Hobbs present
ed is that the State collects only 5
per cent of the poll taxes which are
due. Actually, only one man in
ten who voted in last fall's elec
tion had paid his poll tax.
The next meeting of the Club
will be held on Monday night,
March 12 at 7 o'clock in Pea
body 8.
DR. POTEAT GIVES TALK
ON THE LIFE OF CHRIST
(Continued from Page One)
vinity of Jesus by degrading his
earthly surroundings. But the
family of Jesus was a royal family
and received the ,social considera
tion accorded to such. He was born
in the manger because there was
no room in the inn. Herod the
Great couldn't have registered for
a room that night. The scripture,
'The Son of Man hath not where to
lay his head is not a proof of po
verty. Jesus said it to squelch a
scribe who was condescending to
him. Jesus owned two houses. He
had no place to lay his head be
cause of the exigencies of his pub
lic ministry. The fact that he was
a carpenter's son does not indicate
poverty, for not to labor with the
mds was among the Jews dis
creditable.
Jesus knew Greek as well as
Hebrew. In His time every boy
was compelled to go to school.
Simon Ben Shetach founded the
first system of public education at
public expense B. C. 75- and he
had . the compulsory feature, a
point which North Carolina has
not yet reached.
The current opinion is that Ga
lilee was a despised country, a
desert. There is not a : desert in
sight of Galilee. , It was extreme
ly fertile and was only 20 miles
from Phoenecia, the greatest mar-
atime country of ancient times. It
contained 204 cities of more than
15,000 inhabitants. The country
bad to be rich to support a popula
tion as dense as that anywhere to
day; '
The city of J esus, Nazareth,
was not "an obscure and lonely vil-
age of despised Galilee." It was
a center of Jewish temple life and
was located on a main caravan
route. It has now G00O' people
and had then about 15,000. ' "Lb-

WHEN SELF-STARTERS WORE BOOTS
Richmond Straight Cut Cigarettes were already known, even
in those early days, as "that fine old Virginia cigarette."
"Horseless Carriages" have given way to "Gliding
Palaces" but your grandfather would tell you that it
would be almost a sacrilege to try to improve good old
Richmond Straight Cuts.
Subtle in richness and delicate in aroma their "bright"
Virginia tobacco hasan appealing, old-time taste which
has never been equalled in any other cigarette. If you've
never tried them try them now.
