County Selling Realty To Satisfy
Tax Judgements On *55 Delinquents
Cleveland County, in an effort
-to dean its old tax books, is now
in process of audbioning proper
ties of certain delinquent tax
payers to satisfy the old tax
bills.
A group of these real proper
ties was sold Monday and anoth
er group is scheduled for sale
Monday, August 24, at noon at
the Steps of the county court
house.
This type of sale—an auction
to satisfy final judgments on
tax Hens—is different from the
customary September sale for
taxes. The sale is of -the actual
! property, in which a purchaser
can pick up the real estate if he
proves high bidder.
There is one loophole to those
looking for realty bargains
While the propeertties are being
sold to satisfy judgments on 19
55 taxes, in all liklihood taxes
for years prior and since are al
so owed. Though title would pass
to the purchaser immediately
the title would not be clear un
til all the aged tax bills were
satisfied, both conuty and city
if the property is within a muni
cipality.
Once upon a time, the law spe
cified that a county or munici
palify could not actually sell a
piece of property for taxes until
ten years had elapsed. Then the
law was amended to five years.
It has since been amended to
three years.
Ralph Tucker, assistant coun
ty tax collector, sadd Wednesday
that the effort to clear the tax
books is proving benefident Af
ter judgment is obtained, the
property owner is sent a regis
tered letter notifying him that
sale of his property is imminent.
Of a group of ten parcels of real
estate scheduled for sale the re
cent Monday, only five went on
the block — the owners have
previously satisfied the judg
ments.
Of the ten parcels booked for
sale on August 24, three are lo
rated in Number 4 township.
They include:
1) Several lots owned by Glenn
Carroll in Block “A”, Plonk &
Herndon property.
2) Property of the Arthur Davis
Heirs, on Watterson street, Kings
Mountain.
3) Lot of James W. Carroll, lot
No. 4 in the Paul Camp sub-div
ision.
One piece of Kings Mountain
property was sold at the August
17 sale. Woodrow Brown was
high bidder ait $21.50 for a lot on
Watterson street belonging tc
Corine Borders Sealy.

Pupil Assignment Plan Is Adopted
Enrol Reported
In Petition
On School Merger
An inadvertent error in the pe
tition for the proposed merger
plan of No. 4 Township schools
to Kings Mountain City Schools
board was reported to the board
Tuesday by chairman Fred W.
Plonk.
Mr. Plonk said that, according
to ithe present wording, citizens
of the Oak Grove Community are
under the impression they are
being left out of the consolida
tion movement.
Examining the merger peti
tion, to be signed by district
committeemen from Bethware,
Park Grace, and Compact schools
and presented to ithe county com
mission, the board found the pe
tition reads that the districts are
contained only in No. 4 Town
ship.
A. W. Kincaid, board member,
suggested ithe error in wording
be brought to the attention of
J. R. Davis, .school attorney, and
the petition be amended to read
“and a part of No. 5 Township"
thus alleviating the misunder
standing and including Oak Gr
ove community.
The board agreed that it -was
the original intention that all
the current Bethware school dis
trict be included in the merger
plan with no part to be excluded.
George McGill
Clan President
Charge Middll of Wallace, was
elected president otf IMdGMJs oi
Gositon at the clam's 28tfh annua]
reunion at IBetlhel church arbor
near here Wednesday. ,
Miss Jelan. McArver was elected
vice-president and (Miss Avia. Ware
was re-elected secretary - treasur
er. Miss Willie McGill is the clan’s
permlanertt historian.
Assembling for picnic dinner
were more than 100 descendants
of John Thomas MiCGSill Who
heard an address by (Dr. Laura
Plonk, a member olf the clan, and
director of the Plonk School otf
Creative Arts otf Asheville.
Noting that she now speaks
only on two subjects, “Spirituali
ty and Education," Dr. Plonk bas
ed her 'address on St John, stat
ing that this book of the Bible
Was not written to any sect, race
or group but to everyone of ail
ages.
“In Johln, -all of us are comman
ded to love others and it is diffi
cult to attain,’’ she commented.
Dr. Plonk described “the inimi
table trio” as truth, which she de
fined the search for God, good
ness, which she defined as God
within individuals, and 'beauty,
which she defined as the trains
oendant harmony that resolves
discord.
She defined the “spirit” as “the
hidden and invincible loveliness
of all people.” The spirit, she
said, “keeps us patient 'and calm.”
Declaring that more people are
destroyed by praise than by criti
cism, Dr. Plonk offered the
thought that the practical test of
spirituality is in dealings with
others. She said a person should
always ask if a trade or deal Is
benefkalal to fhte other fellow. If
he doesn’t benefit the other fel
low, the trade should not be
made, she declared. .
Declaring that "success lies in
victory of the human spirit over
human thought,” Dr. Plonk con
cluded with a challenge to her
kinsmen.
“Live for something, do good,
and aim high. Write your name
in love and mercy and your good
deteds will Shine as the stars,” she
concluded.
Prior to Dr. Plonk’s address
Sandra Plonk 'gave Bible
reading, the parable otf the prodi
gal son, and Peggy Plonk read
the parable of the good Samari
i tan.
William Lawrence Plonk, pres
ident, welcomed the dan and pre
sided over the session. Dr. W. P.
Gterberdin-g, pastor of St. Mat

no language expert, could not
speak her tongue nor did I know
any of the local customs or any
