Mrs. Cole is survived by four daughters, Mrs. Maysie Petteway, all been there before, many a time, we know that that is the dependable sign that we are started toward improvement. Be of good cheer, brethern. We are started to come out of the green pastures once more, and in the course of time we will be able to come to the table without pushing the victuals back and experiencing that nau seated feeling. The worst is over and we are gradually getting rid of the hair pull, and it will be easier day by day. THE SALES TAX PER.MANENT Without assuming to pose as a prophet it is not hard to guess that the sales tax is to be per manent. f'ew taxes ever laid ceased to be permanent after for all that it is worth. We are a nation of loud mouths and deaf ears. We argue too much and think too little and inquire too little and prove too little and hold fast to too little that is good. How many voters have any idea what they are going to vote for November 6, and how they are to gain what they vote for if their vote is successful? Think about that and answer yourself if you can reach a con clusion. The Pilot would like to 'have the opinion of a few folks, no matter who, in two or three hundred words, as to what is at stake this fall in the election and why, and how a vote one way or the other will be benefi cial. A lot can be said in two hundred words. You recall that of Kinston, and Mrs. W^ \V. Oainey of Parkton; two sons, S. F. Cole of Carthage, and R. C.

That is one rea.son to guess that the sales tax is to be lasting. It is a too easy mark to overlook. Property tax is slumping. In come tax is beginning to sweat blood. Property tax is failing. Property can be taxed to death. So can incomes. But as long as people want things they will buy, even if with buying they throw in a vehement kick. But if property is taxed until the col lector has sold pretty nearly everything that is property and if incomes are taxed until noth ing is left of income. blossoms, its dogwood luxuri ance, its many flowers and leafy offering of various types, is hard to beat.
