Statement By County Attorney. Around 300 Cleveland county peo ple will face tax suits instituted by the county for their unpaid 1930 taxes unless they are paid by March 1, it was announced today by Pey ton McSwain, county attorney for the new board"of commissioners. All of the property sold in 1931 for delinquent 1030 taxes has not been redeemed, it was said today, something like $7,000 in 1930 taxes being unpaid, and unless this prop erty is redeemed during February suits will be brought to collect the tax. In making this announcement the county attorney urges that all who can do so redeem their prop erty before March 1 in order to save additional expense. He also urges that organizations which hold mortgages on county property see that the property they hold papers on is not in the list of unpaid property taxes for 1930. The statement by the county at torney follows: “There is still quite a bit of prop erty which was sold by the, sheriff in 1931 for taxes, theat has not yet been redeemed. Unless the tax on this property is paid by the first of March, as county attorney. I will be compelled to bring a suit to collect the tax out of the property. This will mean additional expense and probable loss of the proDertv to the taxpayer. I am therefore appealing to the people of the county to pav their 1931 taxes and redeem this property. "I would also suggest to the banks, building and loan.'and any other parties holding mortgages on real estate in this county, that they find out at once whether or not any of the property covered by their mort gages has been sold by the sheriff for taxes, and if so. that they re (CONT1NUED ON RAO* SIX» Mrs. Sain Dies In Upper Cleveland Widow Of Winehart Sain And Sis ter Of Frank White Who Died Fast Week.

Many Paid Taxes Last Week So As To Avoid Penalty Around One-Half Of 1933 Levy Re mains Unpaid. Penalty Goes On Wednesday. Scores of Cleveland county tax payers paid their 1932 taxes last week in the rush to avoid the one percent tax penalty which goes on Wednesday of this week, it was an nounced by Troy McKinney, coun ty accountant today. During the week approximately $12,000 in taxes was paid in by tax payers, he said. Despite this week of good collec tions around one half or more of the county tax levy for 1932 is un paid. This means that unless a con siderable amount of taxes is paid today and tomorrow the one per cent penalty going on February 1 will add over $1,000 to the 1932 tax bill. The penalty goes up each month after February. All delinquent tax-payers are be ing urged to pay today and tomor row to avoid the penalty, and to morrow Sheriff Irvin M. Allen will be at the Kings Mountain city hall all days in order to help citizens of that section meet their tax. pay ments before the penalty date Find Amos Jones Dead Near Home Farmer Of Polkville Section Dies Suddenly.

Free Textbooks For School Pupils Recommended By Book Commission To Be Purchased But Not Printed By State. Will Save Parents Money. (Star News Bureau) Raleigh, Jan. 27.—Free textbooks for the elementary school children, purchased but not printed by the state, and adopted over a period of four years, so as not to make the costs excessive, Is recommended by the school book commission named by former Governor Gardner under j a resolution of the 1931 legislature, to make a study of the school book situation and report to the state board of education. State Supt. A. T, Allen is chairman; Supt, H. M. Ro land .of the Burlington schools, is secretary; Supt. E. E. Sams, Lenoir county schools; Calc k Burgess and Robert G. Lassiter, Raleigh, and Ju lian S. Miller, Charlotte, compose the committee which made its 70 odd page report Friday. The commission recommends adoption of free books in grades, 1, 2 and 3 the first year; grades 4 and 5 the second year; grade 6 the third year and grade 7 the fourth year, by which it estimates the cost will be approximately $500,000 a year. Belief is expressed that this method will save money in the purchase of school books, lighten the family burden of textbook buying, increase educational opportunity of the children, improve the quality of in struction by equipping the children with approved materials the first day school opens and safeguards the roNTiNrTtr- ok pagf six j Milk Can ‘Still’ Raided; One Man Present At Time Caae In Court Today But Continued. Some Whiskey Found At Plant. Booze Is now being manufactured in milk cans.

Tlie still was made of an eight - gallon milk can, handles still at tached making it a moveable plant, with a copper worm. Deputy Led ford said Smith was at or near the still when he arrived and that the plant seemed to be in operation. He found three gallons of whiskey and some beer at the plant. Smith said that he had nothing to do with the still arid Just happened to run up on it while fox hunting just before the officer arrived. Judgment was suspended until February 1 in the matter because there is some ques tion as to whether the still was lo cated in Cleveland or Burke. Tax Penalties On This Week City Penalty Goes On February 2 And County Penalty Feb. 1. Both One Percent. Tax penalties go into effect this week on all unpaid city and county taxes, according to Information is sued from the city hall and court house. A penalty of one per cent goes on unpaid 1932 city taxes on and after FVbinary 2nd. while the county’s penalty will be imposed beginning February 1st. At the city hall some misunder standing arose as to the interest payments being required on past due street and sidewalk assess ments. Several paving projects will have been completed ten years ago in February ancj the last of the ten year installments are due, but according to a recent ruling of the board, the yagreed to extend the time for payment of principal if all back due Interest is paid. It is now thought that interest must be paid on all paving installments, whether ten years old or not. The mayor and board are to have a conference with the city attorney, D. Z.

(Late new* *tnry of Gardner and cabinet will be found on pane 6.) Havana, Jan. 30.—Would-be Ha vana flrst-guessers, speculating con stantly as to President-elect Roose velt's probable choice for United) States ambassador to Cuba, today! fixed on ex-Oovernor O. Max Gard ner of North Carolina, who la In Havana ostensibly vacationing. Gardner, who finished four years as North Carolina's executive Jan uary 11, has been urged in some quarters as likely cabinet material, but not previously, so far ns Js known, has he been mentioned for diplomatic honors. Wednesday Gardner lunched with! United States Consul General Fred erick F. Dumont, and Wednesday night he and Mrs. Gardner were dinner guests of Ambassador and Mrs. Harry F. Guggenheim. Tine j Gardners left for New York Friday, j If what the United States heeds! in Cuba, as Representative Hamil- j ton Fish said, is "another Morrow, a strong ambassador," there are those who believe Gardner fills the bill. By main strength and determine- j tion he hoisted himself up the lad- j der of political preference until in j 1928 North Carolina made him gov ernor. During four hard years, he has I cut North Carolina's tax bill from $102,000,000 to $90,000,000, and that j when government costs everywhere ] else was going up. Against bitter opposition from i petty politicians and Job-holders, he introduced reforms tending to cen-1 tralize governmental functions and; do away with needless waste of the tax-payer’s dollar. He made North Carolina’s farm ers "live at home,” keeping an es timated $55,000,000 within the state's bounds. He handled labor troubles deli cately and diplomatically, settling one textile strike after another with precision and dispatch. Unless Roosevelt slips him into the cabinet or offers him other hon ors, Gardner these next four years will be at political loose ends. His state has no senatorial election un til 1934. and he probably has his eye on something bigger than the senate. Although he himself main tains discreet silence, some see In him possible occupant of the White House if his party’s fortunes con tinue at flood tide. A period of two or three years in the embassy here would not be at all amiss in rounding off Gardner’s career, It is pointed out here. Not so close to the voters as to have his political statuer diminished by too Intimate contacts, not too far away to lose track of developments, the Havana post would suit him nice ly, they say. Cleveland Remains N. C. Cotton Leader Almost 3,000 Bales Ahead Of Rob eson. Shows Biggest Crop Decrease. Although the 1932 cotton crop in Cleveland county was decreased more than that of any of the other leading cotton counties the county still held the State lead in the gin ning report up to Jan 16. To that date Cleveland had gin ned 45.223 bales and Robeson was second.with 42,874 bales. Johnston was third with 39.701 bales, Samp son fourth with 30,668 and Nash _fifth with 27.363 bales. The Cleveland crop, however, was near 20,000 bales below the 1931 crop, while Robeson's 1932 crop was only 5,000 bales below the 1931 crop. Johnston county's crop for 1932 was 3,000 bales more than foi 1931. Sampson’s 1932 crop was only slightly below 1931 figures, and the 1932 crop in Nash county was 3,000 bales larger than in 1931. The 1932 ginning in both Ruther ford and Lincoln counties was ap proximately 5,000 bales each below the 1931 ginning. Mr*. Walker Coming From Md.

Halfway Mark Now Legislature Many Knotty Problems To Solve Yet. Opposition To Reorgan isation Develops. (Star New* Bureau.) Raleigh, Jan. 30,—Apparently the 1933 general assembly was from one to two weeks ahead of former bodies as It ended its fourth week, but Is still a little short of the half way mark as the first week was a short; one. Unless unexpected dif ficulties, thus body may be expected to end its work within the 00-dity period or soon thereafter. But it still has many knotty problems to solve. Committees have been at work morning, afternoon and night in hearings and in considering bills be fore them. Finance committees have heard plaints from many lines oi business and industry against im position of higher taxes, while the appropriations committees have been hearing plans for more money for state activities. The reorganization committee is beseiged with prayer against abolishing or consolidating and eliminating many posts. All committees are now having their troubles arid are meeting them as they appear. May Not Reorganize Seemingly there is discernafrie a definite trend against, the wholesale abolishing and consolidating rec? ommended by the reorganization committee. This Ls due in large part to the pleas that come from those who would be hurt, but in part to the committee's view of go ing ahead and demanding action without the usual committee hear ings. The trend ls shown by the re versal of the senate and calling for the hearings. Doubt is now express ed that even half of the recommen dations will be enacted, or that even a small percentage of the $2, 000,000 saving predicted would ac iCONTINUED ON r>AGF *UX • Thieves Rob Choir Members At Church C oat And Hat Of Singer* Taken 7 Prom First Baptist Room.

Itlanton Does Not Fa« vor Borrowing Crop Money For Farmers. Ofitcinl notice was given this morning by Jo*- E. iJUmton, chair man of the county board of com missioners to H. W. .Shoffncr, farm agent, anil Mrs. Irma Wallace, home agent, that their services to the county would terminate on Febru ary 1st l*»y This Month. It will be recalled that the com missioners in their economy move when they took oatn of office the first Monday in December, decided to eliminate these two agents and that their services would end Jan. 1st. but in view of existing signed contracts with the former board with the agents for one year's serv ice and a demand on the part of many for the retention of these of fices. their services have continued one month longer than anticipated. Mr. Blanton told Shoflner and Mis. Wallace that the county would pay them for their services for February but there would lie no pay after this month. Sentiment Divided. Petitions signed by several hun dred people asking that these two agents be retained were never pre sented to the commissioners. The board members asked that the pe titions be not presented, but they gave hearing early thin month to a number of people Interested In re taining the agents. It was rumored this morning that these petitions will lie presented and perhaps a mass meeting called at which the retention of the agents will be urg ed. The action of the commissioners, however, seems final They have been considering the matter for six ty days and are supported by a large group of farmers who favor the abolishment of the two offices as an economy move. To Make Crop Loans. Farmers were making arrange ments for their spring crops and some question has arisen as to whether crop production loans available from the Federal govern ment will be made now since there is no county agent as an official representative to pass upon these loans. Mr. E. P. Welch, representing the Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation of Raleigh was In Shel by today In conference with Mr. Shoffner and Mr. Blanton and he states that these loan* are available, even though the county does not have a farm agent. A committee of three representative men must be set up however, to take applications and pass upon the loans. Commissioner Blanton says he does not favor borrowing crop pro duction money from the government and says that farmers would be bet ter off without them He further gtates that the county would be bet ter off If no loans were secured as these loans must be paid whether county taxes are paid or not. Two Kinds Of Loans. Two kinds of crop production loans are available to the farmers this year. One Is the so-called seed loan such as the county farmers us ed to the amount of over $70,000 last year. Limited amounts can he borrowed for seed, feed and ferti lizer, secured by a lien on the crop alone. The Regional Agricultural Credit Corporation is another Fed eral loan system that has larger and 'CONTINUED ON PAGE 8IX > Shelby Citizens To Attend Group Meet In Raleigh Twenty-Five To Fifty To Attend School Conference On Tuesday.
