WILLIAM R. GENTRY William R. Gentry was born on the 29th day of January, 1863, in Surry County, this State, and died on June 19, 1933, at his residence at Edwards Crossroads where he had resided for a number of years, age at the time of his death, 70 years, four months, and twenty days. He married Miss Lena Edwards, daughter of the late Mor gan Edwards, on December 23, 1860, from which marriage two daughters were born, both of which are married —one, Mrs. George M. Holcomb, of Okene, Okla., and the other, Mrs. Carl Cox, of Galax, Va. When Mr. Gentry became of age to enter school, the opportunities for obtaining an education were very meager, the Civil War had just end ed and the early efforts of this man were beset with many difficulties, times were hard, money scarce, and the picture did not look bright, but he bravely determined to acquire an education and by close application, strict economy, and a determination to win in his effort he succeeded and became quite well educated, consid ering the times under which he la bored. He taught school for a num ber of years and some twenty-five years ago purchased a home at Ed wards Crossroads in this county, and afterwards added to his first acquisi tion until he became quite a large real estate owner. He succeeded in farming perhaps as well as any man in this section. He was also for a number of years engaged in mer chandising. For a time he was con nected in an official way with the sducational interests of the county. Some years ago his health became impaired and he lost one of his limbs but neither the loss of the limb nor from making a brave and successful bad health deterred him in the least Eight for his family. The Gentry fam ily is of the best English stock. Many nf them having held places of honor ; in the states of the union. They have : been agricultural leaders, ministers, E soldiers and legislators. W. R. Gentry, the subject of this sketch, was a member of the Metho- < dist Episcopal Church South, and died in the faith of the Christian. His conversion was at a meeting held in Sparta when he was a student of that distinguished teacher and minis ter, the Rev. S. W. Brown. We pay this tribute to this good citizen who has played his part and gone to his reward. The scroll of his life is rolled together. His work is done. Peace and long abiding be to his memory.

An 111 Wind The following editorial appeared in The Omaha Bee-News, May 1st: “Over a period of generations the American people developed a system of 127,000 public school districts. “The work has never been com pleted. Many districts even in the best of times, gave inadequate train ing. The nation’s task was and iis to carry on its public school develop ment. “Today false economy is threaten ing to wreck the public school sys tem. Tn 15 states schools have closed entirely. In 40 states school terms have been curtailed, to save money for politicians’ salaries. “This country needs MORE educa tion, not LESS. The public school system must be protected from false economy.” \ SALKS TAX ARTICLE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Federal, State and local governments shall be inventoried in separate ac counts, and if in part of merchandise otherwise exempt, with subdivisions as between merchandise otherwise taxable and exempt. Rule 5. Credit Sales and Exempt Mer chandise. Credit sales are conditionally per mitted to be taxable with reference to the time and amount of payment. Such permission will be granted in every case where the merchant will keep accurate payment records on all such sales and payments. If this me 1 chod is used, and payment of tax on merchandise sold prior to July 1st is to be avoided, it will be fiecessary to set up a separate account of pay ments after July 1st on all merchan dise sold on deferred payments prior to July 1st. Some merchants will pre fer to include time as well as cash sales in current monthly reports. vvnere mis metnoa is ioaowea the merchant will be permitted to deduct accounts that are written off on tax paid merchandise, or the unpaid bal ance on repossessed merchandise. Merchants taking advantage of ex tension of time for credit sales and having sales of both exempt and tax able merchandise, are required, in keeping their records of credit sales, to have all items charged to such ac count designated, and have two col umns for carrying out the amount, one column to be designated “Ex empt items” and the other designated “Taxable Items,” and shall enter into such columns respectively the exempt and taxable items. Credits for merchandise returned shall be itemized, and entered in the appropriate column. Credits for payments on account shall be treated as payment on ex smpt items and taxable items pro portionately. Rule 6. School Books. The exemption of public school books contains three clauses of limi tation: They must be for us in the public schools; they must be on the adopted list; the sales price must be fixed by law. This excludes from the exemption books for use in private schools, and in colleges, whether State or privately owned. It excludes from the exemption supplies other than books used in the public schools. Rule 7. Tax Upon Sales of Motor Ve hicles. The special provision of sub-sec :ion 12 of Section 404, requiring pay nent of the tax before license plate tan be issued for any new motor ve aicle will be deemed complied with f the title certificate bears the nota tion of a licensed dealer in this State that the tax has been paid, and the nnount of the tax may be included n the monthly report of the dealer, ff title certificate does not bear such lotation by a licensed dealer, the imount of the sales tax must be paid lirect before license plate will be is sued. Rule 8. Single Articles of Mer chandise The limitation of ten dollars tax m any single article of merchandise s understood to cover the parts that ?o to make a complete unit according to the general custom of the trade. Phis will not however, include extras ir accessories other than those in cluded by general custom of the :rade, and an additional tax will be included on all such extras or acces sories. Rule 9. Exchange and Barter. The statutory rule that the resale 3f second hand articles taken in part payment of new articles are not tax able applies only to the re-sale of se cond hand articles that are traded in after July 1st. The re-sale of all such articles on hand July 1st is tax able. The re-sale of articles other than second hand, taken in payment in whole or in part for chandise, is taxable. If the re-sale of bartered ar ticles is made to dealers it is taxable atth e wholesale rate of one twenty fifth of one per cent; if the re-sale is to other than dealers it is taxable at 3 per cent. Ride 10. Sales to Other Than Mer chants. If any articles of merchandise are sold by wholesale dealers to other than merchants such sales are tax able as retail sales at 3 per cent. One annual registration tax of one dollar covers either wholesale or retail, or both. Rule 11. Taxable Merchandise. The rule as to “mixing, blending or processing” does not include any merchandise that is "bought and sold in substantially the same form in which it was bought.” Illustration: If sandwiches are made up by the ven dor they are not taxable; if they are bought and sold as sandwiches they are taxable. Prescriptions that are actually compounded in a drug store are not taxable; if a proprietary ar ticle sold under prescription with changed label, it is a taxable Sale of merchandise. II lumber is sold to user in the same condition in which it is bought, it is taxable; if re-work ed, it is not taxable. The sale of bath tubs is taxable; labor and worked material for installation are not tax able. To get the benefit of exemp tion upon any article th nerchrant 'must keep ? ords that e r be chec ked for a« curacy. Drink mixed at soda fountains are taxaole under Shedule 13 at r>er cent. I . Rule 12. Delivery Determines Date of Sales. The act becomes effective at 12:01 A. M. July 1st. Question of whether a sale is made before or after the effective date of the act is determin ed by the time of delivery. If delivery is made after the effective date of the act it is a taxable sale.—Sec. 404 Sub-sec. 10. Rule 18. Schedule for Adding Tax. The clear intent of the statute is that the merchant shall add the amount of the tax to the sales price to be paid by the purchaser. It is recognized as impractical to add a tax upon every sale. The actual tax on six sales of five cents each does not quite reach one cent. If a mer chant should add a tax of one cent on a five-cent sale he would collect twenty per cent out of which to pay the tax of three per cent. If he should add one cent on a ten cent article he would be adding ten per cent for the tax. In addition to these excess charges there would be the serious inconvenience to merchants and cus tomers of making odd change on a large number of sales. The statute, therefore, requires that the “average equivalent” of the tax shall be added. A compliance with the spirit of the law requires that something more than the tax be added to some sales,, and something less or no tax on other sales. A general rule that fractions of a cent be disregarded in favor of the major fraction would be a suffi cient and equitable rule if the total number of sales were evenly distri buted in taxable brackets. This may be approximately true as to some classes of merchandise, where the sale of articles below the taxable line under this rule would be incidental. Under this rule the first taxable line would be 16 2-3 or 17 cents. The sales of some merchants below this line is less than one per cent. The volume of sales below this line of other mer chants is so large that they can reach an average of 3 per cent, on total sales only by the use of a lower break line and by the addition of more than 3 per cent on sales above the break line. The schedules herein set out are adopted and promulgated as the sche dules to be applied by all merchants in the State for the month of July, 1933. Before the expiration of that date these schedules will either be re-affirmed or others adopted and promulgated for use beginning on the first day of August. Schedule 1. If no sales are made of less than 17 cents, apply straight 3 per cent in al saes, fractions of centsl to be determined in favor of the major fraction. Ilustration: One cent 17c to 19c; two cents, 50 to 83c; three cents S4c to $1.16 et cetera. Schedule 2. To be applied by merchants having sales of articles less than 17 cents vith total of such sales not exceed ing 5 per cent in money value of total ?ross sales of taxable merchandise. No tax lc to 16c; lc, 17c to 33c. lc, 34c to 66c; 3c, 67c to $1.00. Above $1.00 straight 3 per cent, fractions of cents to be determined in favor of the major fractions. Schedule 3. To be applied by merchants whose sales of articles at 17 cents or less constitute more than 5 per cent in money value of total gross sales of :axable merchandise. No tax lc to 13c; lc, 14c to 33c; 2c, 14c to 66c; 3c 67c to $1.00. Above $1.00 the merchant to have advantage of the fraction in apply ing the tax of 3 pe rcent. Schedule 4. If more than 25 per cent of total sales in money value is of articles if merchandise selling for 10 cents ir less, there shall be added to each L0 cents sales one cent, with coupons entitling purchaser to buy two other L0 cents articles without tax; such coupons to be provided by the mer chants and usable on presentation. On sales above 10 cents the following schedule to apply: jlv; iiu tu ooc. 2c 34c to 66c. 3c 67c to $1.00. Above $1.00 the merchant to have advantage of the fraction in apply ing the tax of 3 per cent. The schedules in this section are to be given application to each arti cle of taxable merchandise sold and not to the cumulative sum of two or more purchases. Rule 14. Price Advertising. The act expressly prohibits any advertisements, direct or indirect, that the tax is not considered as an element in the price to the consumer. It further provides that the merchant may add to the price of the mer chandise the amount of the tax, and “when so added shall constitute a part of such price.” The clear intent is that the tax shall be a constituent element in the parts that go to make the price, such as costs of merchan dise, overhead, rents, etc. To promote uniformity of practice and to prevent confusion, the spirit and purpose of the law will be served if, in the ad vertisement of merchandise at a price all merchants shall use the price which the customer is expected to pay for the merchandise. Rule 15. Sales to Interstate Commerce. Sales in this State to non-residents are taxable, but sales upon order in interstate commerce, and delivered in interstate shipments, to destinations beyond the State, may be deducted from gross sales if records that may be checked are kept showing oH^r, purchaser, method of shipment, des tination and price. Accounting. In promulgating these regulations it is desired to bring to the attention of every merchant the specific provi sions of Section 415 as to records re quired to be kept by every merchant. They are not intricate or unduly troublesome, but they do require an accurate record of gross receipts and sales, and that all invoices of goods purchased shall be preserved for two years, or until properly audited by an agent of the Department of Revenue, There should be an accurate daily re cord of gross sales. In the absence of such records the agent of the Depart ment is required to make up a tax charge from the best information available, and such charge becomes a lien upon “all the property of the taxpayer until discharged by pay ment.” Failure to observe any of the provisions of the statute, or any of these regulations, constitutes a mis demeanor.
