The County Commissioners at their last meeting ordered the sheriff to postpone the advertis ing of land for taxes until May the 1st, in order to give those who have not paid, another month in which to pay up. Now it is hoped that this will be suf ficient time and notice, and those who are behind will take advan tage of it. The money is badly needed and the sheriff does not want to humiliate any one by advertising their land for the taxes, but the taxes must be paid, and must be paid now. EDGAR HALL. Sheriff. There may be a good excuse for poverty—honesty may be ope-of these—but there is ho va lid excuse for dirt. Why thdi^ is a deficit, in fact, a big state indebtedness, is due to the fact that several different State departments have been drawing at will upon the state treasury. Now. Governor Mc Lean wants to know why and when they draw. And sure as you live,, less drawing will be done. And Red Springs highs beat the Raeford highs 15 to 0. We know they are happy. It has been a long time since a Red Springs team beat a Raeford team. They are entitled tc a game once in a while, and they have a team down there this season that will be reported on the favorable calendar frequent ly this year in our opinion. fl.50 Per Year, From The Uariihiif Eschnfe. Two young men of Laurio burg were driving down MaiB Street on Monday afternom thorougly at peace with the world and with themselves. But fate evidently had a surprise in store for them, and springing the trick right on the main thoroughfare, let drop from their car a pint bottle of choice spirits of the brand that is out lawed by Mr. Volstead and the entire race of prohibitionists. And fate was not thus satisfied, but just behind the young men came another car driven by a woman and that car planted a staunch rubber tire amidship the pint bottle and it was ciu^n- ed, its contents wasting their sweetness on the desert air. The expected developments took place and the young men told Judge Everett in recorder’s court Tuesday morning. One of them was acquitted and owi to the scantv supply of the its in his possession and the further fact that no charge could be set up against him other than transporting whiskey the other was let off with a fine of $25 and costs, and a suspended sentence for good behavior for some one or two years. The frequency of goitre in Laurinburg in recent months has ted to an investigation of the water supply, with the possibil ity that Hr maFhe treated wiiB^ iodine as a preventive. The ah sence of iodine insufficient quan tity in the human system is a direct cause of goitre, it is said, and the supplying of this needed element in the water’ or food supply acts as a preventive of the trouble, a number of cases of goitre have been reported in Laurinburg recently. It leads to the thought that pdSstbly the new water supply, which has been in use a few months, may be deficient in this property. The entire community was saddened by the sudden death on Saturday afternoon,March 21. of Mr. Archibald Smith, which occurred while he was sitting at the supper table. House for rent. H. R.
