TAXPAYERS TAKE NOTICE Read the Law Quoted Below I am constrained to call the at tention of the taxpayers of Macon county to the Public Laws of North Carolina, Session 1927, Chapter 213, Sec. 4, which section is quoted ac curately as to that part of said sec tion requiring the sheriff to collect taxes and sell lands if same are not paid within the time mentioned there in: "He shall on the first Monday in May report in full the uncollected tax es for the current tax year ' and the county Commissioners shall thereup on order sale of all land for" taxes were the taxes have not been paid to be made -on the first , Monday in June and shall also make up a list of taxes due of taxpayers who list no land for taxes. The sheriff, or other tax collecting officer, shall there upon cause advertisement to be made for four successive weeks, as now pro? vided, by law for such advertise ments, of lands to tfc sold for taxes and shall make effort to collect all taxes due by taxpayers who list no land for taxes. Sale of land for taxes shall be made upon the day ordered by the board, provided that the sale may be continued from day to day un til completed. amgiving-thisinformation -to-the- taxpayers now so that they will not be taken by surprise. The above is the statute, and I, as sheriff and tax collector of the county, have no discretion in the matter, neither have the county commissioners. All taxes will have to be paid before the' first Monday in May. The time is not long and it would indeed be painful to me to sell the land of a single person in my county foraxcs. This law ma terially changed all regulations as to the time in which the sheriff shall collect taxes. This the 13th day of March. 1928. C. L. INGRAM, Sheriff of Ma con County. tf "!N !
