B. Daniel, here last Saturday after
noon at 3 o'clock of pneumonia. He
had been in feeble health for several
years, having suffered a stroke of par
alysis some time ago. He hurt him

later married to Miss I.ula Keel, and
she, with four children, Messrs. Ed
gar Daniel, of Norfolk; Darrell Dan
iel, of Cape May, N. J.; Ben Daniel,
of Plymouth; and Jack Daniel, of Wil
liamston, survives. Until his health
failed him several years ago, Mr. Dan
iel was a successful farmer.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. C. T. Rogers, Methodist minis
ter, in fhe Holly Springs church, near
here, Sunday afternoon. Interment
was in the family grave yard at the
old home place, in Williams Town
ship.

HEALTH REPORT
NOT SO GOOD
Typhoid Fever Makes Ap
pearance With Two
Cases Reported
Tfce health report county
was not so good last month, according
to records found in the county health
officer's office this week. Typhoid
fev«r made its appearance during, the
period, and the summer is still ahead
of a time in past years when many
cases of the disease were reported
throughout the county. Two cases
were reported among white subjects
last month. No public campaign a
gainst the disease has been planned in
th« county this year, the next schedule
catling for a drive in 1933.
Whooping cough continues in Bear
Grass Township, 14 cases having been
reported there during April. There
were four chickenpox cases, one case
of German measles and one of scarlet
fever.
Even though the report is not such
a good one, health conditions in the
county, as a whole, were favorable, it
is ifaderstood.
Private vaccinations against typhoid
are always available, and it is be
lieved that those who were not vacci
nated in 1930, the time the last public
campaign was conducted by the late
Dr. Woi. E. Warren, will find it safer
to guard against the disease.

sale last October, six months lat
er than the scheduled advertised
time, there were 882 unpaid .ac
counts representing unpaid taxes
in the sum of 151,821.48. If collec
tions hold up as well, and if the
sales are postponed as long this
year as they were last, it is be
lieved that the unpaid account
next October will be less than $51,-
821.48, and the number of unpaid
accounts will be smaller.

the sale longer than a month ia
pending, and it, might be that the
sale will be ordered at the next

Delay Is Only Temporary,
However, As Sale Will
Be Made in July
j Meeting in regular session here last
I night, the town commissioners passed
jan order directing postponement of the
I sale of taxes- one month, the initial
!advertising to appear the first of June,
j Realizing conditions are"not very fav
iorahle, the commissioners personally
'stated they were in favor of postpon
ing the sales longer, but the town's fi
nances virtually made it necessary to
'defer the sale only one month. The
drive for personal property, taxes was
ordered continued, and seizure in some
cases was mentioned.
Messrs. E. P. Cunningham and B.
iS. Courtney, representing the religious
bodies fo the town, apjn-ared before
the board and asked that the churches
! and certain other church properties be
relieved of the payment of 1931 and
subsequent sidewalk and street paving
assessments. Mr. Cunningham pointing
; out that the organizations were the
| town's greatest asset. Following the
request of the churches, Mr. Win. R.
Watson, an official in the local Ma
sonic lodge, appeared in behalf of that
organization asking that it be relieved
of the assessments if the churches are
favored. While the matter was de
ferred along with the tax sales, it was
pointed, out by the mayor that the
| budget for this year included the an
ticipated .payment of the assessments
by the churches, and that if the town
( accepted the assessments a deficit
would be the result.
Going before the board, Mrs. J. B.
H. Knight wanted to deed about 200
I feet of property just back home
on Watts Street to the town, provid
ed she was relieved of all paving as
sessments for the year, it was under
stood. Upon investigation, it was
learned that the board had no right
to enter into the proposed agreement,
but it was agreed that paving assess
! nients and general taxes on any and
all property deeded to the town would
be automatically,,lifted. „

I' I lie blue mold might kill the tobac

blue mold, the agent said in his re
port, "At present the fanners who fol
lowed the schedule of spraying closely
have the best plants. B'ue mold is

WARM SESSION IS
HELD IN COURT
HOUSE MONDAY
Expenses ..of Government
Denounced by Several
Speakers"
Meeting impromptu in the court
house here yesterday morning, nearly
two hundred Martin property owners
and taxpayers urged the county com
missioners to postpone the 1931 tax
sales, and at the same time directing
jail kinds of strong protests against un-
I fair property values that are being
j maintained, expenses of government,
j and everything else under the sun ex
icept their individual expenditures.
I he meeting, as a w hole, was purely
| radical, Attorny A. R. Dunning, G. H.
I ox. and others suggesting that the
I sales he postpone;,! regardles of the
law. Ilic attorney, in a warm speech"
| lasting nearly an hour, went on to say
that the county recorder's court was
not worth a "continental damn" and
should he abolished, that if he was a
member of the board of education he
would limit the next school term to
six months, and that all,salaries should
be reduced, not 10 per cent, but 50
! Per cent, 1 lie radical spirit into flame
once it w - as started, and the meeting
nearly forgot its designed purpose—
that of urging the commissioners to
postpone the sale. *
Maintenance cost -of the comity
home was declared too high by Tax
payer J. G. Staton, Commissioner T.
C. Griffin answering that the records
were open. Continuing Mr. Griffin
said, Ihe trouble is,'a hole was dug
I hack yonder and we are yelling be-
I cause it is to be filled* uj>.#now." Corn
j missioner Kverett shoVied' that of the
county-wide rate, only cents
i was for the running expenses "of the
| county, including all salaries, poor,
, health, etc.
I lie $l4O paid a stenographer at a
recent term of superior -court held in
the county was mentioned as very ex
travagant, and Mr. G. 11. Cox, of Kob
ersonvil|e, was of the opinion that
SB,OOO annual salary lor a judge was
jt'M. much, that $3,000 would be cimuKh.
i Start at' Washington and cut every
thing and everybody," the body almost
unanimously agreed,
i "You could lift every cent of taxes,
and we would be but very little better
off financially," Editor }>\. C. Man
ning sSffl in urging the .body to use
reason. ' T am in favor of .the post
poneinent of sales if it will help and
it it can be done, but we must remem
ber that taxation is not the sole cause
of our troubles today. We have squan
dered and thrown away double the
amount of the taxes. We have forgot
ten the principles of honesty and de
stroyed trust, and now we are Cursing
ahd" abusing taxes because they are
the nearest for us to* curse and abuse.
We,have the task' brfore us to start
at the bottom and up, not by
practicing false economy" but by econ
'oniiiing where it is nWded."
I Continuing, the editor said that we
|have more to show for our tax money
than for money thrown away and lit
jerally s|Ujiiidered during the hey-day
period not so long past. He strongly
'opposed the suggestion that public
educational advantages !>e limited. It
was pointed out that the wealth of the
country rejoiced when educational ad
vantages were limited, that the great
i powers would much prefer ignorant
i and untrained hands, which they could
J control with a lash. Continuing, he
said that he was glad ti> see the in
terest shown in governmental activi
ties, but warned against the mob spirit
and suggested that sane and honest
thought be employed in working our;
selves out of this, a bad situation.
| The meeting yesterday was an in
j teresting one, not a soul offering to
j present the side, including more than
, half the taxpayers—(>J per cent, to be
1 exact—who have paid their taxes, but
the spirit in the meeting of the nearly
200 property owners would have prob
ably offset any and all argument, and
it is was the general belief when the
bpdy left the courtroom that the com
missioners would postpone the sale
until a later date.
Following the noon-day recess, the
board upon the motion of Commis
sioner Joshua L. Coltrain, deferred
the sales thirty days, future action
pending upon developments reported
in other counties.
