Notice to Taxpayers.
On May the first, one per cent
will be added to all unpaid taxes
as the law requires, and all lands
on which the taxes have not been

be an unpleasant thing for the
sheriff to have to do. and will be
expensive and humiliating to the

a big effort to pay this month
and thus avoid all this? The

Editorial.
“A scout is cheerful. As ‘ the
scout law intimates, he must
never go about with a sulky air.
He must always be bright and
smiling, and as the humorist
says, ‘must always see the
doughnut and not the hole.'" A
bright face and a cheerful word
spread like sunshine from one to
another. It is the scout’s duty
to be a sunshine maker in the
world.”
The passaglB quoted above is
taken from Boy Scout’s Hand
book. The scout movement has
increased to such an extent that
it is well known throuuhout- the
world. Why has it been so pop
ular? The answer is in .what it
stands for, or its laws. There
are twelve of these laws, which
would pay anybody to read and
observe.
One of the scout laws is quoted
in the first sentence, "‘A scout Is
cheerful.” If people whether
belonging to their^organization or
not, would take this law for
themselves they would reap great
benefits. If the greatest joy is
obtained by giving, what j^ould
be more joyous than to give joy^“'~
to someone else by a cheerful
word or deed It is so easy to
start a pleasure bringing smile!
Take for instance the sign about
a mile and a half from Raeford,

(Arthur d. Gore )
About ten years ago Dr. G. A.
Graham and a few others began
an insurance agency in Raeford
with Dr. Graham as its secretary-
treasurer, and until two months
ago it was a corporation known
as the Hoke Realty, Loan &
Trust Co. Now it is owned by
its manager, Arthur D. Gore,
and is not a corporation any
longer.
By degrees it has grown into a
rather prosperous and successful
business. It is still going in the
name of the Hoke Realty, Loan
& Trust Co , and representing
the same strong insurance com
panies. Each successive year
its volume of insurance increas
es. Each year the people of
Hoke county are becoming ac
quainted with its reliable man
agement and are placing their
bnsiness in its hands. Satis
faction is what this business
selling to its .patrons. People
like to buy satisfaction, and that
is why the Hoke Realty. Loan
& Trust Co. under its present
management is still growing. In
return for the investment the
great majority of prosperous
Hoke citizens are enjoying abso
lute'security against fire losses
and damage, knowing full well
that a loss to them means but a
brief suspense of business as
long as they are protected by
one of the insurance companies
represented by this progressive
agency.

County Spelling Contest,
On Wednesday evening, April
4th, a county spelling "epntest,
between the contestants from all
the county schools took place at
the Raqford High School audi
torium. The first contest was
between the third, fourth and
fifth grades respectively, each
grade being represented by the
best speller from their midst.
This group spelled for fifteen
minutes and when the contest
ended it was found that Brownie
McNeill, from Bethel school was
the victor. He was presented
with a splendid fountain pen
which was given by Mr. T. D.
Hatcher. Honorable mention js
due Charles Howard of Mildou-
son aiid George Weaver of the
Raeford school. These boys tied
for second place and when they
had stood up for twenty minutes
neither had missed a word.
The second contest was be
tween the 6tii and 7th grades.
The Raeford school was repre
sented by Williard Huggins, of
the 7th grade. We were very
proud of the way he represented
us, although he did not win first
placp. This contest resulted in a
tie l^tween Sara Bodgin, from
Antioch and Geneva Hall of
Montrose. Sara Hodgin at the
close having missed the fewest
number of words was presented
with a 15 gold piece, the liberal
prize offered by the Page Trust
Oo This epntest was a credit
to all the schools in the county
and shows that they haVe been
doing some splendid work in
preparation for the final contest
Much Interest has been mani
fested in the county commence
ment plan and this one promises
to be such a success that next
year a more extensive program
may be planned which will bring
the schools of ouf county into
closer touch with each other.
Track Meet.
Raeford High School ran away
from all comers Friday and took
the county track meet by a large
margin The feature of 4he
meet was the running of Cul-
breth in the Senior and C. Brown
in the Intermediate, division
Both of these easily outdistanced
all opponents and between them
won eight first places or 150
points for the local high school.
One of the most exciting
events of the day was the Senior
high jump, won by Graham
Culbrethof Raeford, who did
some beautiful jumping in out
classing all his opponents and
then going an inch higher. The
Mildouson representative gave a
good exhibition of straight juthp-
ing winning the second place.
