I published in the local press by this In explaining the program of the | league, Mr. Jesse Page, chairman of; the Central Committee, said; ‘“We are faced with what seems to he the ab solute necessity of reducing taxes which have hecome so burdensome that for several years it has been im possible for most farmers, manufac turers and merchants in this state to make a profit, “The Moore County Taxpayers League proposes to stay in the fight for lower taxes until something def inite is accomplished. We intend to use every honorable means to per suade our legislative reperesentatives to pledge themselves to a program to reduce governmental expenses to an amount we can reasonably support. We do not wish to advise our rep resentatives as to how this reduction shall be accomplished. We do, howev er, make our plea with full knowledge of what consitutes our county and state budgets and, therefore, with knowledge of where the slashes will have to be made. Of the money col lected by the Moore County tax col lector last year about one seventh went for county government, almost half went for interest and amortiza tion of bonded indebtedness, and the furnish labor for semi-private and private projects with the conditions that the persons interested furnish ■ all necessary materials and guarantee that the carrying out of such projects would in no way effect the employ ment of legitimate labor. “The committee finds it necessary to w’ithdraw the offer made in that statement. | “This offer was made through a' misunderstanding of the details of the policy of the State relief organization' . i¥r*ii tt from which the local organization re-;Shrill6 OlUD Will nOlQ cjjives the larger part of its funds' Annual Ball Tuesday for unemployment relief work.

Mr. Elliott of West End occupied the pulpit of the Vass Methodist Church Sunday morning ^or Mr. Ball, who was conducting revival services in Mr. Elliott’s church .Mr. Elliott was preaching a fine sermon and had the undivid ed attention of the congregation until someone went to the church and broke the news to one of the ushers that the dwelling of the lessups near Vass was burning. He, n turn, caught the attention of oth er men and told them and one by one the male members of the con gregation began to get up and leave and this continued until some ten or fifteen had gone. Naturally, the visiting minister was at a loss to know just why his congregation was acting in this manner, but one man was considerate enough to re turn at the close of the service and tell the preacher that his preaching was not so poor that the men walk ed out on him, that there was a fire nearby. Mr. Elliott made a fine impres sion on those who remained and the congregation has asked him to return for a future service.
