H Hpssjrr"" Friday, February, 8 1907 Theeatablislininient ot llie jieainu factory in Williamstou will fill a long felt want. This is a natural location for sucli an enterprise. Wiliianiston is the center of Martin | County, and is considered to be tin largest peanut market in tin country, and Martin County it known to grow the finest peanuts thet are marketed. Tnere is iu; reason why Wiliianiston should not in a few years have the largest peanut plant in the country. We predict biglhings for the new enterprise. Special effort* are being made to start a plaining milt, sash and blind factory and also a huggv factory ir. town. The business tnen of thr town realize the need of some manfuctiiring industries whereb> the business of the town may lie in creased and they are taking the right steps to secure these indus tries. There is also an active move ment on foot to secure the locatior of the Wilts Veneer Co.'s plant at this place. This latter industry is well worth the united effort ol the business men of our town. If the town is sucessful in secur ing the location of these industries it will menu the circulation of front $60,000 to sXo,ooo more monev each year than is now circulation in this town. Tin.- combined paytojli of these plants would amount to that much each year We predict the establishment o. several good, substantial plants in this town within the next six o eight months. * Strained Construction There are two sides to the que* tion whether the cash surrender value of a life instirifnce policy . should lie taxed as other solvent credits. Certainly the man who ' puts his money in life insurance ]iolicies escapes the taxation thai the man pays who puts his tnonev ill land or bonds. Of course it \tauld lie wrong to tax the whole premium because the man has not control of it, but what is logically wrong iu taxing the cash surien der value? Of course there is strong argument against such course on the ground that it is the Itest 1 public policy to encourage men to insure their lives so that their fam ilies may not lie a burden ii|>ou the community. Certainly every man with a family ought to make sac rifice to carry insurance on his lift and the State should encourage by protecting ami imposing ( strict regulations upon insurance Would it be against this sound public policy to tax the cash surrender value? Whatever one may think about I the propriety of imposing such a! tax now, after all Legislatures have exempted insiiruucc policies | from taxation, the suggestion that j such tax would he uncoiistitutiouo | is a strained construction. It is argued that Section 7 of Article to exempts these policies from taxa tion. That section reads as follows: "The husband may insure his own life for the sole use and )>enefit 1 —! —~ I I of liberally u,lni our fertlll- I I I luwlug from MOM re.

The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were, getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio lation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided.

Section lof Chapter 119 Acta of 1901 lie so changed that the word "ten" will read ' thirty." Section XII will be added to chapter 119 Acts of 1901 incorporating the town of Williamston. . "That tne Board of Comtnisaiers shall have power to tax all franchises, impose taxe» upe>u"all public drays, merchants, livery Mables, horse dealers, jewelers, hrokers, public warehouses, banks, but chers, druggists, ice drink vendors, ped dlers, muVica) ejitertVinmeuts, shows, hobby horses, hotels, restaurants, and all other business, trades and professions engaged in, carried on tn the town lim its, and all that are taxed by the State in any shape or form whether mentioned in this list or not."

Notice is hereby given tl at application w 11 be made to the General Assembly to allow the citisnns of Williamston to vote on the issuance of Ten Thousand Dollars worth of bonds for the purpose of erecting a tow* hall, with town offic es, fire department, etc for the general use of the town of Williamaton. That the tax for this purpoee is not to exceed JO cents on the hundred dollars worth of property. By order of the Board of Commission for the town of williamston, N. C. ». P. GODWIN, Mayor, claimed to be "just as good" as Schnapps, l*it there is only one gen uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, re quires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers formerly bought costing from 75c. to SI.OO per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound, in sc. cuts, strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs. County Statement "A" | I, W.
