Noah’s Ark Story Like Bible’s Found S In Lore Of Indians Washington.—American Indians had their own tradition of "Noah's ark" and the flood, strangely simi lar to the Bible's account. Dr. John R. Swanton of the Smithsonian Institution reports that long hefore the arrival of the whites In North America the Chictaw In dians of southwestern United States had a legend of a great flood sent to destroy mankind for its wicked ness The Indian “'Noah.” like his Biblt cal prototype, was forewarned of the flood, says Dr. Swanton. Hej spread the news from village to vil-1 lage, but no one heeded him. Then came a time of total dark ness and cold, with incessant peals of thunder. Wild animals crowded In from the forest around the campfires. •Then came what seemed to be a light advancing from the North but which was really the gleam of great waters rushing over the land. No one was saved except the prophet. He made a raft of sassafras logs and floated upon it for weeks. A blue bird with red eyes came to lead the way to an island which had appeared above the flood in the direction of sunrise, Th* popularity of ■esp'-deaif as a soil improving legume has spread to Polk county where 45 farmers ordered coonerativelv 4.027 pound' of common.

He said an examination of the body disclosed the tongue was inverted, forced down the throat by a cloth which had been rammed into the mouth.

Fountain Says To Revalue Property (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE 1 mediately upon the convening ot the general assembly that a law be pa-vsed requiring an immediate re valuation. I urged this during the last session of the legislature and am still in favor of an immediate revaluation, though the matter was deferred upon the recommendation of the governor during the last session of the legislature. 3. I am in favor of land being re lieved of the burden of the support of the roads and believe that those who use the roads should bear the burden of the support through gas oline and franchise taxes. I have heretofore worked and helped to bring about aid of the county roads from gasoline taxes and the relief of land from this burden. 4. The health of our people and their education, I consider are of first Importance and I shall urge the proper support of our schools and health department as they are of primary importance and If it Is necessary to curtail expenses I be lieve the unnecessary should be eliminated first. While I believe In the strictest economy in government yet I believe in efficiency but from my experience and observation, we are being governed by too many commissions, boards and bureaus, whose duties are over lapping and In instances some boards are with out necessary duties. I am In favor of abolishing all unnecessary boards and bureaus and combining the du ties which are now being performed by some of these boards with other departments which will greatly re duce the cost of our state govern ment without Impairing Its effici ency. 5. Government has become too much centralized in our state and nation and the control of the gov ernment Is sought to be removed from the people throughout what Is called the short ballot, which de nies the average citizen the right to vote for his officers who serve him and only have a governor elect ed in North Carolina and he ap points all other officers. This Is too much power to be exercised by any one officer or individual and Is nothing but a dictatorship, which 1 am absolutely opposed to. I am opposed to the short ballot in any form. 6 The cost of government must be reduced and land and ad va lorem taxes be substantially lower ed and in order to do this we must have a shift in the tax burden and all classes of property be required to carry its just proportion. The most expensive government known to history is a government by bu reaus, boards and commissions and the state of North Carolina is over loaded with too many boards, bu reaus and commissions, which must be abolished and if elected gover nor I shall put this into effect and the cost of government can be re duced this way. 7. The last legislature passed a law allowing the counties and school units to purchase and own books and allow the children to use these books at a greatly reduced cost, which law I was heartily in favor of and X am urging that this be im mediately taken advantage of.

MILLS, Trustee. Discuss Delay In Advertising Taxes (CONTINUED FROM FAQ* ONE.) miss loners, that the 1933 genera' assembly can pass an act validating sales held at times other than th* dates fixed by statute, citing that such an act, validating sales herd in 1930 at dates other than those designated, was passed by the 1931 general assembly. Mr Sherrill had asked if this could not be done in messages to Mr. Brummltt, Gover nor Gardner and C M. Johnson, director of local government. However, Mr. Brummitt does not advise such postponement, and Di rector Johnson points out several possibilities of trouble as a result One of the most vital as he sees it, is the possible < i'ect on tire credit of counties or municipalities Numbers of the units are finding il necessary to refund und spread out their obligations, and if such units should postpone tax •■ales the pur chasers of bonds and notes would hesitate to purchase their securi ties, Mr. Johnson relieves. More over, if advertising for sales for dc linquent taxes is pottponed, say until October or November, toe units could collect very little of the outstanding taxes 1931, even if the taxpayers had the money, so the units would have a hard time meeting their operating expenses It Is stated, also, ihat postponing sales of taxes for delinquents wopld work an injustice upon those wno have paid their tases on a par basis, and, too the delinquents might be in still worse shape this fall than they are now. Even though postponement is contrary to law, the question is raised as to what county has a grand Jury that would indict or find true bills against a board of coun ty commissioners for postponing land sales. By force of conditions it seems apparent that sales for dr ■ linquent taxes would be postponed in some counties, even though oti ers are proceeding in accordance with the law.
