It athso in ekides all litems of school taxes, ex cept a lew small items in special school tax districts which are not in cluded as a part of the general state, county and school tax. All such items, however would amount to only a lew dollar*. The late Sheriff James 11. l'age col lected tlie 1917 tax list. His insolvent list with errors and reliefs totaled $769.08 against this amount he turn ed in $700.18 in- unlisted items, bring Jug the loss down to $58.09 his first year. In the year 1918, the insolvent lis dropped to $521.40 and $257.94 in ~"Lstedlaxes coming from that amount left a loss of $263j52. Before Sheriff l'age collected the 1919 taxes he died, and his bonds men and the Hoard of County Com missioners appointed his widow and wuril, Joint 1.1.\ collectors. The war had so stir-. , ml up things und so many changes "were being made that the insolvent list combined with the errors am! re liefs ran up to $1,013.97. This a mouat was reduced by unlisted items mm— to $462.60, mak , I ing a io~ ol udy $1,081.47. H. T. ftobaraon, the present Sheriff i collected tV 1920 tax. The total er lors, reliefs and insolvents amounted S to $1,697.97, but was reduced in i the amount of $270.25 unlisted items, f leaving an insolvency of $1,407.97. The 1921 tax year proved better. • The period of stagnation had passed • off to some extent and while all items chargable on the insolvent side of the t ledger ran up to $1,689.05, it was off set by a credit of $1,130.45 unlisted . items collected. I In 1922, the items of jerror in tax ■ gain. While all items of errors, in i solvents ;nd reliefs went to $1,222.86, i the unlisted taxes. collected had gone vp to $1,245.34, leaving a net balance I gained of $22.48. In 1923, the itmes of error in tax i list, relief orders and insolvents ran up to $2,734.33 against which there were unlisted taxes collected in the i sum of 11 .606.67■ bringing the.total loss down to $1,128.66. : During all these years, the Sheriff , hns been the collector of various li cense taxes, designated as school "B" 1 tax. If such items had been added to 1 each of the various years it would r show a net gain. Yet these taxes s do not belong in this particular ex - hibit in the proper sense .and are not - imbraced in these figures. 3 Those who happen to know the i enormous amount of travel of people i who are here today and gone tomor MARGOLIS BROS. & BROOKS THE SMARTEST SHOP IN TOWN Your Sense of Good Values Should Direct You to This Store r 3 ' 1 ~~ I | J "Ready to serve you" is the slogran at Margolis Brothers and Brooks. This being the first dollar, day this store has ever had the management has therefore —?- used every means to to make this a banner event —of- fering the greatest values, regardless of the sacrifice as we want you to be our guest on this eventful day- anff every one in this store, down to the porter, has voiced the enthusiasm and bids you welcome. j| CH~j| I ' "'.-'J- ' _ . , . / BROTHERS AND MARTIN AND UERTIE BEGINNING TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER (Continued from front page) a good little village of good people, and line farms. With a minute to spare, we had to .run down .o JSden House and cast our eye® across the beautiful Chowan, where the $600,- 000 bridge is soon to be built. We then retraced a short ways and head ed north, paralleling the beautiful Chowan and seeing some of the old est plantations of the State. We can safely say there are in this section seme of the finest farms in the State with lovely homes and churches near together that do honor to their build ers. They stand out favorably with any couiitry churches and homes in all the We passed Mount Gould, a religieusaiid educational center for that section. Next we found Colerain, where any inhabitant there who is old enough to talk will tell you it is the third oldest town in the State and they will tell you whether they can talk or not that it is the best town ~in Bertie - count y. It has two good banks and such public institutions that any town would take pride in having. Colerain Beach is quite a summer resort and thousand? of vj*j,?l tors jfe there during the summer months. , ' Something is said r-U*it railroads, aiid ths query eoibes, "Hew ar and where to a ntftronrt"? The answer conies, "Tunis or Ahoskie, both in Hertford county". We chose the ' Ahoskie route via Powellsville, pass ing through a fine section on a good road. After a few minutes at Pow ellsville, u nice little country town, we left for Ahoskie. Looking around that town we found special proceed ings being enacted. We set out for Aulander, 10 miles away, and found one of the most prosperous towns in the whole of Ber tie Empire. Good stores, good homes, and torn up streets where water lines and pavement are being laid. Following the same course, we passed through another good farming section and soon arrievd at Roxobel, a nice little town in the north west corner pf Bertie. From this point we began the home stretch skirting along the Seaboard railroad which runs down to Lewiston. We passed through row, understand that there will. be many folks who cannot be found when ta* paying time comes. They list their property in Kay and before the year is gone many are in a dis tant state or dead and their taxes are uncollec table. We still think that our County holds the banner tax collecting record of any county in this State. Our high tax rate is not to be charged to the fault of tax-collectors. \ _, ■ \ . THE ENTERPRISE WILLIAMSTON, W. G Kelford on the Coast Line. This is I another good Bertie town. Paralleling the old Roanoke, we a gain passed through one of the old sections of the County and soon reach ed the two rival towns, Lewiston and Woodville. It is stated that the rivalry ■ is so keen between these twin towns that each wants to be the other, and they are two good community towns. Then on to Windsor, passing a num ber of nice old .mansions, which hous ed some of the first citizens of the > State in the long ago days. In fact, we almost passed the Indian woods, that long antedate America, passing over some of the very ground where the warring tribes backed their rivals with the cruel stone tomahawk, and ' burned some of their enemies at the , stake. These lands were later sold to the natives t>nd abandoned by the , pesky Tuscaroras, who joined the five rations of the North. Our trip also brought us through t !"'nak' Bite, where a citizen ami ma- I lit Simian of Bertie bit a suako's head ; off to win a wage*, of #• ijuart of brandy. W we cam.' to , horn* •£ D. Winston. I Th# caßft is on* of th«* most in-1 r teresting and beautiful homes in , Eastern Carolina, a rare specimen of > the hoines of colonial days. Passing Windsor Castle, we were | in the midst of Windsor. There we . found multitudes of citizens of the , eld type, people who have sense I enough to spend no more than they . have, people who go to church on Sunday and pay the preacher all they i promise to pay. t We had traveled more than a hun . died, miles in Bertie county, saw many , of the prominent people of the north r east section as well as the ancestral homes of many of the leading families s of " North Carolina. Among them we t saw the estates where two governors , had lived, David Stone and Locke t Craig. > rThe leading crops of the County are I corn, cotton, cotton and peanuts, i Some tobacco is raised and which is i. of good, quality. It seems, however, that the average Bertie county farm > er is too wise to pin -too much faith I in tobacco. r After seeing the folks, the lands, > the houses and all the improvements, - we decided we were glad we have > for a neighbor such a county as old Bertie. r - -■ I Misses-Myrtle and Mildred Everett, Miss Mary Waldo and Mrs. Hennie > Ballaid motored to Greenville Mon . day afternoon.
