Many counties In the State post
poned for varying periods the sale
of property for taxes, which action
delayed payment by the counties
to the State of this fund, much of
which had to be supplied from other
sources to pay teacher salaries and
other school costs. Estimates plac
ed revenue from this source at M,
000,000. since revesed downward.
Most of the counties are keeping
fairly well up with their payments,
but some are far behind.
The State Treasurer has also re
ceived from the counties $237,128.73
in poll taxes collected, but has
turned back to the counties, through
the State Board of Equalization
$85,404.87 of this amount, under the
provision for turning back to the
counties 80 per cent of the amount
when payments have reached *, cer
tain figure.
Thirteen piedmont and mountain
counties have paid practically half
of the ad valorem tax received by
the Treasurer, more than $1,502,000
up to July 1. Guilford had paid
$271,000. Forsyth $261,000, Mecklen
burg $198,000, Buncombe $137,000,

000, the other seven In order being
Rowan, Cabarrus, Rockingham,
Davidson, Iredell, Cleveland, Ca
tawba. In poll taxes, Oullford had
paid $18,000, Mecklenburg $10,000,
Gaston $7,000, Rockingham $7,313
and Cleveland $7,000.
Cleveland county, the record
shows, had paid $7,000.00 In poll
taxes, of which $5,168.20 had been
refunded. This county had algo
paid $50,809.94 in ad valorem taxee,
on an original levy estimated from
the 15 cents Of $57,750.00, which,
amount the State is expected to
get, or practically all of it, when

Federal Relief Bill Will Mean
Much To State; Gives Road Jobs
Approximately *0,000,000 Will Be
Made Available For Highway
Construction In N. C.
Raleigh, July 20.—The passage of
the new federal relief bill by Con
gress, and which President Hoover
will sign and make law Tuesday,
July 26, will mean m*ch to North
Carolina since it will make avail
able approximately $6,000,000 for
new highway construction In this
state without requiring the expendi
ture of any state funds whatever,
It was pointed out today by E. B.
Jeffress, chairman of the state
highway commission. Incidentally
it is interesting to note that the
bill finally enacted was virtually
the same bill introduced early In
the present session of Congress by
Representative Lindsay Warren of
the first congressional district.
Out of the appropriation of $120,
000,000 for Immediate highway con
struction, North Carolina will re
ceive approximately $2,800,000. This
in turn can be used to match the
$3,800,000 In federal aid highway
funds already allotted to the state,
but which It has so far been unable
to utilise because of Inability to
match it with state funds, making
a total of $6,600,000 that will be
available for new highway con
struction as soon as President Hoov
er signs the bill.
Must llM On Federal Roads
AU of this money will have to
be used on federal aid projects, of
course. Chairman Jeffress pointed
out. But since the main federal
aid highway projects In the state
are more than 90 per cent com
plete, this additional money can
now be used on the so-called sec
ondary projects, or on federal aid
highways that are feeders to the
main trunk federal highways. As a
result, this money can be spent

Ellenboro Section Already Knows
Real Value Of Conununity Cannery
Thousands Of Cans And Jars To
Be Filled There This Tear.
Meat Also Conserved.
(Special to The Star;
Ellenboro, July 20—With 15,000
tin cans already ordered and dis
tributed by the Ellenboro Canning
Association to its members, and with
thousands of jars of glass also fill
ed with fruits and vegetables this
season, canning within the Ellen
boro community is expected to sur
pass all previous records of canning
for home use.
The Ellenboro Canning Associa
tion, organized through the influ
ence of the vocational agricultural
department of the school, has stimu
lated local people to a better live
at-honae scogras;. Ssasciaii^ has.
the association functioned each year
in getting tin cans cheaper for its
members by cooperative buying in
large quantities. It is believed that
there has been more canning al
ready done than was done during
the whole season last year. Then,
we still have the peaches to can.
These should be ready within a few
weeks when canning again is ex
pected to go on at a rapid rate.
Fruits and vegetables are not
only the products canned by Ellen -
boro people. Many have during the
past few years canned sausage, beef,
and other meat products. One local
family canned a whole beef last
spring.
| To be sure to have plenty to eat
this winter can all fruits and vege

Find Weevil In

Cotton Damage May

Farmers Find Sign# or Weevil In

Opinion Differ.
Opinion# differ a# to how much
damage the boll weevil may do in
Cleveland county this year, but def
inite report# thl# week had it that
there were sign# of the weevil In
the upper section of the county a#
well a# in southern Cleveland near
the South Carolina line and Chero
kee county where the pest is found
In large number#.
Visitors to town this week report
ed seeing weevil grubs In practically
every section of the county, more
numerous, however, in some sec
tions than in others. Deputy Eo
Dixon stated that last week he was
shown weevil grubs in the upper
section of the county, or about,
Fallston and Belwood. Frank Sta
nley, he declared, stooped over at
one spot in a cotton field and
pointed out at least a half down
grubs and fallen squares containing
grubs
The weather of last week of so
has been such, however, as to react
against the weevil and many doubt
if the pest will do much damage
Prlor tojast, week R. W. SJkpfJner;
farm agent, said that few weevil
reports had come in except from
thp lower end of the county and at
that time he doubted if the pest of
fered a serious threat. Since then,
though, the weevil has been report
ed as Invading other sections of the
county. Quite a number concur In
the opinion that the weevil will do
no big damage in the county. They
remind that in several years in the
past there were signs Of the weevil
and weevil grubs in the county, but
that no damage of consequence re
sulted.
Others differ: They say the
number of fallen squares and wee
vil grubs found In the county now
presents much the same situation as
In cotton sections where the weevil
