This sign, which is located at the entran ce of Mount Olive at intersec tion of the bypass, did read, "'Wash Johnson Out With Gold water". Apparently the politi cal mud-slinging has already begun. Someone with too much ( fire water used something less than creek water to change the appearance of this Goldwater sign.

Multiply your aches and pains, take Interest from your work, and Discount your chances for safety.

House numerals are being sold by the Trojans to com .^pffite the project. me nrortn Carolina Associa tion of County Commissioners in its annual survey of coun ty budgets for '.he fiscal year 1964-65 has found that 1964 tax rate changes reflect the contin ually increasing demands for more county services. In the new 64-65 budgets, 26 counties have increased their property tax rates, 12 have had a reval uation leading to a higher levy, 51 have held their rate stationary but received more revenue from a larger tax base, and 11 counties have de creased their rate, usually due to an increase in valuations or an increase in other revenue. Final budget figures for all 100 North Carolina counties in dicate that increased appropri ations for public education are the primary cause of increased county expenditures. As has been the rule in the last sev eral years more than 80% of all property tax increased can be attributed in large measure to greater school needs. This year with the rapidly growing community college system be ginning to become a part of county budgets, the emphasis on education has been even more pronounced. 90% of the counties with a rate increase attributed it in whole or in part to greater local support of public education. With the continued imple mentation of the 1959 property revaluation act. the property tax base is rapidly being made more equitable. All counties scheduled to rev>lue under the periodic schedule enacted by tne general Assembly have done so. anl several counties have finished revaluation prior to the scheduled time. Since the enactment of the revalua tion measure, 52 counties have undergone revaluation in accor dance' with its provisions. As the revaluation process continues the tax rate range among the counties is slowly narrowing. For the 6445 fiscal year, five counties have a rate of more than $2, three less than last year; and eight have rates under $1. four less than last year. 48 counties have a total rate between $1 and $1.49, eight more than last year; and 39 report rates of between $1.50 and $1.99, one less than last year. For those counties with rate changes, the highest rate In crease this year was 45 cents. Three counties had an increase between 25 and 30 cents, and two counties had an increase between 10 and 15 cents; eight counties had an increase be tween 5 and 9 cents; and five counties had an increase of less than a nickel. Rate reductions were exper ienced in 23 counties. As pre viously indicated, revaluation was the cause of the reduction in 12 counties, with the larger tax base allowing a rate reduc tion. Reductions ranged from 7 cents to 96 cents, with a 35 cent average reduction. Eleven counties experienced a rata reduction for other reasons, In cluding five counties which had a sharp increase in assessed valuations, four whkh had sur plus funds available allowing a rate increase, two which opened ABC stores, and two which had minor reductions for miscellaneous reasons. Duplin's 1964 county-wide tax remains the same. $1.65 on the one hundred dollars of proper ty valuation.

This is an increase of 8.3 percent over July. 1963. and represents the greatest July sales in 8 years. Cumulative sales for Janu ary-July, 1964. amounted to $30,832,565, which is over 2 per cent greater than comparable sales ayear ago. This also re presents the largest January- ** July sales since 1966 and is 61.7 percent of the State's 1964 juota of $60 million. Flugene C.

Solici tor Walter S. Britt is prosecut ing. Judge Peele will be back in Duplin on October 12 for an other term. General County Court will be held three days next week, beginning on Tues day, September 8. The grand jury reported yes terday that they had consider ed 26 accusations and found 23 true bills and 3 not true bills. Working under foreman Rae ford L. Bostic of Warsaw, they reported that they had visited the jails of the county and fou nd all in good condiiton, except the jail at Calypso. The grand jury recommend ed that the Calypso jail be condemned as a fire hazard. They found no screens, the la voratory would not fuction, the roor leaxect ana we bedding was wet. They further recommended that the rest rooms in the court house basement be reno vated and the rooms properly marked so that people attend ing court and conducting other county business can locate the rooms. The grand jury recommend ed that all Justice of the Peace reports be made and submit ted monthly. Gorge Bennette of the Blii zard Store section of upper Duplin is scheduled for trial this term of court for two counts of murder and one char ge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Ben nett is alleged to have shot down three young men in the doorway of his three-rom house last January 19. His cases were scheduled for yesterday, but had not been reached in early afternoon. . A goodly portion of the first two days of court were con- I sumed in the trial of Pete Jr. Strickland of Warsaw on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. In that his victim had lost the sight of both eyes as a result of the assault and became very emotional on the stand, Judge Peele had to send the jury from the courtroom and at one time had to recess the case be cause of the emotional atmos phere. However, the jury found Strickland guilty only of simple 1 assault, but sentence had not been handed down by Judge Peele Wedensday. The case against Ella Frank Sloan charged with assault ' with a deadly weapon against 1 Anna Newkirk was dismissed because of the lack of prosecut ing witnesses. Doctors found ' $7000 sewed in Anna's clothing when they removed them to at tend the wound, although it is alleged that Anna was receiv ing welfare assistance. The case against Edward ' Sholar charged with the posse? sion of material for the man ufacture of non-tax-paid- whi skey was continued. father cases on the calendar for this term are Elvin G. Squires. Sr., charged with in cest'Gene Moore charged with aiding and abetting in abduc tion and rape; E. S.
