Town officials feel that they have been lenient with all taxpayers and that the time has come when they j must make collection. They also feel that they have been unfair to those who have paid their taxes pronv,,,ly and who ha,ve been com polled to pay additional taxes because others did not pay their tax- j es- It Is necessary to levy an amount i of tax sufficient to cover the entire budded and If .20 percent of the tax- j payers fail to pay their taxes, the Council must levy 20 percent addi- ! tlctial cn those who do pay in order to balance the budget. That is Jus,t about what has happened during the past years, it is for this reason that thp Town Fathers have taken this method of forcing collection' on ptii-.t due taxes. HUNTING MAY BE DANGEROUS The hunting seascn will soon present Its annual toll of dead hunters a.s the sportsmen take their guns and stalk the (elusive quarry. It might not he amiss to urge all P?to outers to be cautious in their hand ling of firearms, in the discharge of their weapons at whnt they think Is game and In generally maintaining an attitude of the highest prudence with hunting. Many children in the United States will take up the sport this Fall tcr the first time. Olders persons, assuming responsibility for their gu'dnnce, should not overlook the necessity of teaching them the proper method of handling firearms. A little time, devotel to this task, may nave a humn being who is worth more to you than the gamo that the woods and fields offer to you as ? sportsman.. . . CONCESSION We can rend hnl hear a lot each day now. if we do so please, about 'cash and carry" In the proposed neutrality law. Actually, the law as proposed by - Presllent Roosevelt and by those of his mind In Congress is for "carry an d90 days credit. We. hope the credit feature is put in merely to provide a concession, so that proponents of the lay may seem to yield something to theopponents. For 90 days is 3 months. A lot can happen in 3 months. A lot can be bougftt on credit in that time, and the many, many millions in credits used as a hook to draw otttaens of the United States closer to its debtors. We hope the final law really will be "cash and carry.' ? GoWsboro News-Argus. ; OUR GOVERNOR Governor Clyde R.

I usually write this column on Tuesday night after supper. I alt down at my typewriter and try to think of all the fiMiy things I have seen during tha past weeks, and soma Weeks very few funny items take place.

Kings Mountain, N. C., October 9, 1939. Editor Kings Mountain Herald': ? Dear Mr. Lynch: After you published my letter last week, for which I thank you, I received this carl from Mr. Beattle, who I understand was the flagman or. that WPA project. Will you pleaae print It in my letter? "Dear .Mr. Sanders: "I read your article In the Herald and I know you were prevoked. to say the least. I was a greenhorn in directing traffic and the best I can do fa to apologize. I do not know you, although I do remember shaking anas witn you once and lust a little later voting for you. Hope to eee you again sometime. Leo Heat tie. Kings Mountain, N. C." I also have an apologv to make. 1 evidently failed- to make my letter sufficiently clear. My intention was to correct a glaring fault. Not your fault Mr. Beat tie, rather a ' ult of a system. There was no hUontion of making it a pergonal matter and there is none now. Let u& look at things as they were on this Job: 1. It was not necessary to have traffic come to standstill on this lob. That is. a llttlo forethought and traffic could- have proceeded, cautiously. m. it had been doing. 2. You should have been given proper instructions by the official ?ver you. Since the lew was backing ,ou. that is, the motorist who failed to obey yen laid- himself open to t fine or Jsil sentence. It was abuse ?r the power of the State. Somehlng It is the duey of every cttlsen to guard against. We have been lex n this heretofore and H ia the cusom for us to accept the abuse and nlsuse of the authority given state >fflclals. My thanks to you for your vote I when I Was trying to become a searant of (be people. Why not come to see me? I enjoy jeople stopping In for chat. Yours truly, C. Raymond Sanders. .

The whole venture?fund-raising by the children on their own Initiative? moved her, and when she told Peter he knew what she was feeling. The movie which Helfets had loaned the school cam* the next afternoon, and the amazed old Professor found in it on excellent training medium for the children. During the entire showing, not one of them made a sound, and he could see pudgy flats and Angers working in imitation of the } *t gotta tee Beifet* ? 7 matter of tho violin. The fascination of groat music playod by a Croat musician was com plots, allporvadinc. Flower was waiting for Ann mid Peter when they loft tho classroom. Potor managed to put una* stiff "front," but men ho cdbfronted tho man tho starch had left him. Then, inadvertently, he menaced to impress Flower into complete retirement ? with tho name of Jascha Helfets. The man who had brought the film asked for a receipt, saying that Helfets had Insisted upon it. The mere mention of the violinist's name, plus Peter's deliberate underplaying of the whole affair, sent the creditor off with assurance. Peter decided to secure the approaching concert. He told Flower that Helfets had . promised an appearance, as he had heard Trankle say. * e With the concert but one day off, the school and all concerned with it were in a fever of excitement Requests for tickets poured in, and FloWer was delighted. But Peter, when he phoned Helfets, found that his manager had never heard of either the school or the promise to play at its concert. Peter knew that he . would have to stall?to try any tactic to ensure the concert. Peter told Frankle, who felt himeelf responsible, and was miserable. Prankle decided to see Helfets himself. Willie, meantime, had put Frankle's outraged gang ? Domlnlck. Fever Jones and Rocks Mulligan?on the trail of their onetime leader. They cameto see him, that lame afternoon.

When they arrived, breathless, Helfetz was resting, and his manager was talking heatedly with a man they did not know. The man was Flower. Rocks burst Into their conversation. "But we gotta see him. mister? it's very Important! It's about a school for kids?." "8ome more about a school for kids!" the manager shouted. "What Is thla?a conspiracy!" "All I want to know," demanded Flower, "?Is Helfetx going to this ^ . a but gotta," Frankie said. concert tonight?" "No! Definitely no! He knows nothing about this school?and he has an engagement to play somewhere else tonight!" "I thought something was Ashy," said Flower quietly. Xjoodbye." i The fflinAFflr turned Ia the hual. neas of ejecting the boya, which proved to be dlfllcult, until he threatened to call the police. On the way out, Domlnick bumped Into a table upon which a -violin 1 case rested. He took It. for Prankle, knowing Frankle would be disappointed over their failure. He was, but he played for them upon their gift. t And the newspaper headlines screamed: "HBHFETZ* $70,000 BTRADIVARIuS STOLEN." I ? Flower, furious over being duped, arrived at the Laws on School with a truckman. After explaining to Ann and Peter that he had been thoroughly made a fool, he ordered the truckman to take away all the Instruments. Peter, desperate, blocked the man's way. The man shoved him aside, and as Ann cried out, Peter pulled him back and hit him a furious blow on the chin. In the sharp exchange which followed, the man fell off balance toward the door, which Ann opened. The man continued through, to the street. Flower was panlo-etrtcken, and i backed away.

Peter threw hhn out Then he went to the auditorium, where six mothers of the children were watching the last rehearsal. Peter called them aside, and his voice was grave. "Now, listen?you all want this , concert to take place tonight, don't you?" . They all noddad, equally serious. "You wouldn't want ths achoot to go out of buelnesa, would you?" "No!" "All right!

' As long asSihe luwmaker3. fie statesmen,- and the politicians suddenly found themselves faced with t the necessity of viewing things prac j tically, one of the fiist matters they | came face to face with was that of national defense. And some of them j found to their surprise for the first t.Wne that' national defense Involves much more than having a two-ocean navy,- or au adequate army, or plans fitting all emergencies drafted by a-brainy general stac. Some of, the habitues of Washington were ab tuptly faced with the faut that there Is another line of defense* in thi9 country of ours which is just as important as those already mentioned, and that line of defense is callel industry." ~ ' i For in .peace or war it is industry which provides the real muscles and sinews that keep the action going. In peace, the lawmakers lon't have to worry about that fact. But in times when trouble is brewing, it becomes a very real matter to them. It was only natural, then, when it became apparent -that Industry had to be depended upon in this "limited emergency." that the question askel in Washington had a nervous quaver in it: "Is Industry prepared for national defense?" The answer was amazing to some, ati.i comfortlnjr to alt Pot* Inilmlm in this country has for a number of years now been pursuing a program which. In peace or war.

While all eyes on Capitol Hill were being turned on the Industrial | scene to see what was taking place there, the opportunity t\-o arose to examine Amercan industry's whole attilule towards w&r. If anyone mis. interpreted the fact that Industry was cost rVbutlng to an adequate national defense to mean that business men wanted! war, they werd last week quickly disabused of the i Idea. Industry has extremely practl ral reasons for not wanting to see this country Involved in another world conflict, and last week its spokesmen made industry's position i plain.
