County Commissioner From NeWIand and
Not the Commissioner From
Mt. Hermon Who Under
valued Property

In reporting the recent attempt to pry
J. p Thompson out of the office OF Su-
Deryisor of Taxes in Pasquotank county,
this newspaper enormously created the
impression that the County Commission
er from Mt. Hermon Township had un-
dervalued his property. The reference
was intended not for J. r. Brite, the
commissioner from Mt Hermon, but for
W. J. Fs Spence, the commissioner from
Newland.
Commissioner Spence nas one OF the
best farms in Newland township. Peo-
pie who know the property say 1t Is
worth S1OO an acre. lie listed this pro-
perty, about $50 acres, at $S.57 an acre
under the recent revaluation, swearing
that it wasn't worth more than hat. AT
the same time he listed property for a
nephew in the same locality and put MS
nephew's property on the books at $4O
an acre. --.->- s..
Mr.. Spence seems perfectly willing tc
ride upon the backs of his neighbors

NEARLY A YARD LONG
Mr.. Joe Tom Daniels of Roanoke Island
Thinks he Has Broken the Record


Joe Tom Daniels, of Wanchese, Dare
county, claims to have grown the largest
sweet potato ever grown in northeastern
North Carolina. The measurements OF
the potato as attested by several reliable
witnesses were 311h inches in length,
inches in diameter and II inches round.
The potato is of the Eayman variety and
was grown on Mr.. Daniels farm at Wan
cheese. on Roanoke Island.
1t will interest many readers OF TINS
naper to recall that the common Hayman
potato. now generally grown thruout
North Carolina was introduced into this
country about IS years ago by Capt Dan
Hayman, of Croatan,- near Wanchese.

notato slips to Dare county from some
