For 1933 Taxes Two Per Cent Discount Is Allowed | For Payment This Month. Says Miss Forney. The city 1933 tax books are ready and were turned over last night by O. M Suttle to the treasurer’s of fice. Mr. Suttle has been busy since the tax returns were made out, cal culating the taxes and making out receipts.

Pend ing the outcome of this election, the city could not fix the rate. A discount of two per cent is al io iced for the payment of city taxes during the month of October after which the discount will be lowered Gets Books So. Shelby P. T. A.

Postal receipts at the Shelby of fice continued to gain in the third quarter of this year over the cor responding quarter of last year. It was learned today from Postmaster ,T. H. Quinn.

The first quarter gain was $534.07 while that of the second quarter was more than double, or $1,198.44 The gains of those two quarters added to the gain of the quarter just closed makes a net gain for the first three quarters of the year of $1,851.15.

(Special to The Star' Washington, Oct. 11.—Th»t sec tion of Piedmont North Carolina embracing Mecklenburg, Gaston. Cleveland and Iredell counties is considered here as the central bat tleground of the repeal fight in North Carolina as attention is turned toward th.‘ election to b" held in the Tar Heel State on November 7. North Carolinians in the capital for the World Series weTe constant ly asked the same question by mem bers of the North Carolina colony ; here. That query was: “What’s the State going to do on November 7, vote reapeal or | not?” The answers were divided. Some said the State would follow the trend and vote repeal, others offer ed the opinion that it would go dry. There were predictions, too. of a close vote and also of an easy victory for repeal. . Wondering Then the native Tar Heels would take their turn and ask Washing ton Tar Heels, “How do you thirtk we’ll vote?” The replies of the counter query were even more reluctantly given A good many of the Tar Heels liv ing in Washington weuld rather be a little more certain which way the wind is blowing. That's the reason perhaps, why they ask questions of every down-homer they see. "All indications are,” these Tar; Heels in Washington say. "that the whole nation is headed for repeal, but we re hearing that quite a right is being put up down there. "Especially,” they add, "do we hear that there is a real battle Be ing waged in Mecklenburg, Gaston Cleveland, Iredell and a rew more counties. It is general presumption that the eastern section of the State favors repeal, and perhaps some at the far western counties but the South Piedmont appears to be the battleground.” All of which means that Wash ington, that part of it interested in North Carolina, has been hearing quite a bit about the unrelenting fight of the prohibition forces They have heard of the addressee being made and the work being put in by such men as Federal Judge E.
