Postpone Decision On
Tax Sale To June 1
Will Decide Then About Date For Selling
Land For Taxes. Taxpayers Reminded Of
Interest And Penalty.
The c.immisbioners of Cleveland county will not decide,
until Monday. June 1. just when they will advertise and sell
county property for unpaid taxes. The decision on this mat
ter was deferred for a month by the board in a called meet
njr last ween.
This inean> that wUli the month's i
delay property cannot be sold for1
taxes, if it Is decided to go ahead
with the advertising and sale, be
fore tho first Monday in July.
Is Deferred.
The postponing of the decision'Is
recorded as follows on the minutes:
•'It was decided to postpone de
cision as to advertising lands for
taxes until the first Monday.in
June 1931. So, in no event will there
be any sale cf land for taxes before
tlie first Monday In July, 1931. De
linquent taxpayers are notified that
unless taxes arc paid by June 1,
1931, under the law, said taxes will
bear Interest at 10 percent after
that date; and if lands are adver
tised, the penalties will be added to
that cost. Taxpayers are urged to
come forward and pay their taxes
end save this Interest, the advertis
ing cost and penalties.”
Would Be Costly.
Those who oppose the postponing
of land tax sales until fall point
out that It would be a costly proce
dure for delinquent taxpayers. As
the above record of the board meet
ing shows interest at the rate of 10
percent will be charged on unpaid
taxes after June 1 and to this, if
the land is advertised, will be add
ed the penalty and advertising
cost'. All would come due, if post
poned. about the same time this fall
as will this year's taxes, thus mak
ing a double burden.
Sentiment favoring postponement
and opposing it has been expressed
to the commissioners.

King Trial Judge
Praised By Hoey
Feathers tone Handled Case With
Speed And Fairness, King's
Lawyers Say.
"Judge Featherston Is a great
judge,” declared Attorney Clyde R.
| Hoey, back from Lancaster. S. C„
where he appeared for Rafe King In
1 the trial over which Judge Feath
erstone presided.
Mr. Hoey stated that he and
Judge B. T. Falls and other mem
bers of King's counsel were Im
pressed with the speed and fairness
[with which the presiding Judge op
erated his court. He announced,
they say, at the outset that it was
a trial and not a show and dem
onstrations of any type would not
be permitted. The hearing, which
took such a long time at the first
trial, was disposed of in less than
week because, attorneys say. Judge
Featherston did not permit the
time of the court to be Wasted by
introducing needless details and
frivolous testimony.

ently was much more at ease than

One Would Have CO-Cent i.ur.ci Tax,
Other On Madman Idea. As*
sembly Survey.
(By M. R. Dpnnagtm, Star News
Bureau.)
Raleigh, May if. - At the end o' a
week crowded with charges end
counter-charges, apologies ani re
tractions, Instructions und direc
tions in precisely contrary direc
tions, in spite of all that, the solu
tion of the main problem that has
confronted the present general as
sembly* for many weeks now seems
much nearer a solution than ever.
Tire big question before the con
ferees, reflecting in. their personnel
tha contradicting instructions cf
house and senate, that of state rap
port of the scliools on the outside,
would seem furtlrer from an answer
than ever, but in the head-on col
lision of forces now, something
must give. The contest must come
to an end. One ray is the .ml7 re
port the conference committee will
give out since it has been in part
recast and returned to work: that it
is meeting and conferring, and. is
not without hone ..
The Two Plans.
Many plans of cQmpromu: j re
being considered, it Is known, in fact,
all plans that have been suggested
are being weighed Two soesa to
stand out :
A 20-cent state-wide &J val
orem tax on property and the bnl- {
ance of the cost from an equalising
fund of ♦10.000.000 or as mura mors J
as Is required.
121 The state take over the e’e
mentary schools for six months cp
cration, giving what aid available
or procurable for the high schools, j
The first means the senate plan |
wit-i necessary modifications. The
second means carrying out the Mac
Lean law In so far as the elementary
schools are concerned, the counties
continuing tlie high school casts,
with some state aid. The instruc
tional cost for the high school work
[is figured at 27 per cent; that for
the elementary schools at 73 per
bent. The state would pay all of fhe
73 par cent, neatly three-four ins of
the cost. It might also aid the high
school, cutting still more of the
county costa. School people dislike
this division and seemingly prefer

Plot For Wholesale Jail Break
Here Thwarted By Son Of Sheriff
Early Sunday; Plans Overheard
Rad Unlocked Main Cage Uom To
Seine Youth With Keys At
Breakfast Time.
Quick thinking and quick action
on the part of Haywood Alien, 15
year-old-son of Sheriff Irvin M.
Allen, prevented a wholesale 1ail
break here early Sunday morning
and perhaps kept the youth himself
from being seriously injured, j
As young Allen unlocked the door
to the cell floor he quickly sensed
that the cell run-around door open
ing into the main run-around had
In some manner been unlocked. In
santly he jumped back out the main
door and locked it before a prisoner,
hiding behind the door, could sejae
him and take the key^to free r.ll
the others. . Sh
rieked Lodn'
Sheriff Allen later learned that
one o' the negro prisoners had used
a spoon to pick the lock, on the door
leading from the cages to the run
around. One of the prisoners had
then secreted himself near the nnin
door and the othei3 remained in
their cells. There was nothing oil
the cell floor to appear suspicious
except that the youth noticed the
run-around door slightly ajar nnd
realised that something was wrong.
He had been seized in a similar
manner before.
By eaves-dropping later In the
day It was learned that frustration
of the first attempt had not caused
the prisoners to give up their Idea
as additional efforts were made to
get into the run-around so that they
might seize the boy. These efforts,
however, failed.

nriftU3 mood late Thursday nigh*
when arrested by city officers. Lat
er ct the Jail, when questioned by
Chief Poston and Sheriff Allen,
they stated they did not know who
gave them the whiskey but knew the
place. It was then that the officers

The girls had been taken there,
