Matters could scarcely get much
worse, and the public will have

however, gives promise of pro-

upon vigorous prosecution OF
dealers caught proftcering.
There is not very much encour-

experience that the Government
has made q poor showing at su.

istration, itself, undertakes to
justify it's manifest failure by the
statement that it has had "neith-
er the facilies nor powe" to han
die the siuation. In future there
there will be no attempt to set a
price on sugar or to control it's
distribution, and every sale will
be treated " its merits. 1t viii be
the duty of district attorneys to
suppress profteering under the
Lever act, and it may be put
down as a certain ract that those
dealers who are disposed to en-
bark on protiteering enterprises

Arguing Taxes.

I The general assembly of North
Carolina moreover decreased the
state tax for state purposes to
| 2-3 cents. The total tax rate in
Davidson county and and all pur-
poses in 1919 is In 2-3 on the
hundred dollars, and is divided
as follows:
State tax-1l 2-3 cents on the
hundred dollars valuation.
Roads $50 cents on the hun.
dred dollars.
Schools Is cents on the hun
dred dollars.
County ax-19 cents on the
hundred dollars.
Pensions-4 cents on the hun
dred dollars.
So we see that 35 per cent of
the taxes paid by us comes back
to us to maintain the roads we
now have and to extend them to
SECTIONS which have heretofore
been neglected. Of the amount
10 per cent comes back to edu.
cate the children of the county, Z
per cent comes back as pensions
for our our Confederate veter-
ans and their widows, and II
per cent goes to pay the expens-
es of running the county gov
ernment. The last item is made
up of salaries of the county Off
GERS and the expense of part
maintenance of the health de-
partment. The foregoing ex-
plains, where the money goes.
Every citizen is entitled to know
and should know that the taxes
are properly expended.
In conclusion we desire to say
that the increase in the taxes of
1919 over 1918 has no connection
whatever with the revaluation
work which is now being carried
on in the county. When this work
is completed, we feel certain that
certain that the tax rate will be
cut from S1.72 2.3 on the hum
dred to not more than 40 cents
on the hundred, SO that nobody
will be hurt, as it is not the pur-
pose of the revaluation act to col
lect more taxes than in 1920 but
it's main purpose is to equalize
taxation so that every citizen will
carry his propOrtionate part of
the tax burden. The result will
be that in 1920 there will be thou
sands of taxpayers who will pay
less taxes than in 1919. AT the
same time there will be a fe
hundred who will pay more tax
es in 1920 than they have ever
paid before simply because they
will, for the first time in t h e ir
lives :begin to pay their proper
tionate part of the taxes. The re-
valuation act is not going to hurt
anybody. 1t will only place the
burden of taxation on the shoul-
ders of the people in the proper
ton that they are able to pay. -

J" es~'"SS~ s'sPSssNs"s
Capt. j. j. Laughinghouse of
Pitt county severely criticizes the
State Prison Board for selling
the State Farm. Capt. Laugh.
inghouse was superintendent of
the State Prison during Govern
or Kitchens administration. He
says the farm that is being sold
is much more valuable than any
thing the Board can buy for the
same money in North Carolina.
He further contends that author.
ity to make the sale was obtained
in a questionable manner that
the bill was slipped through"
the last General Assembly was
Slipped through" the last Cen
eral Assembly without proper
discussion and publicity.
We have considered the sale of
the State Farm as purely bus
mess proposition. The present
Prison Board is iscomposed ofsome
of the very best business men
and farmers of the state. Mr.. B.
F.. Shelton, one of the members,
is at large and successful a far
mer as there is in Eastern North
Carolina. He lives within fifteen
miles of the State Farm. The
other members are Messrs w.
M. Saunders, big business men
and farmer of Johnston county,
Frank Cough, merchant and.
farmer Of Robertson county, A.
E. Smith, manufacturer and bus
mess man of Mount Airy, and
the chairman of the board, Hen
ry B. Warner, editor and remar-
kably successful business man of
Lexington. These gentlemen, we
understand, have been investiga.
ting the matter for two or three
years and after going over the
whole proposition voted unani
mously to sell the present farm
and buy another. We are willing
to risk their judgment.
1t is rather surprising that a
gentleman of Capt. Laughing
houses information should be la
boring under the impression that
this deal has been handled in Sc.
cret. According to the dispatch
es from Raleigh the proposition
to sell the State farm and move
the prison has been under con-
sideration for the last three
years. 1t was considered serious
ly by the General Assembly of
1917. A committee was appoint
ed by that Legislature to investi'
gate the matter. It's report was
published. In the General AS
sembly of 1919 the matter again
came up. A hearing was held by
the committee. The bill was re-
ported favorable and, if we re.
member correctly, was debated
in both houses. 1t was passed by

Primo Magri, known to the gen

and one one of the best known
Lilliputians in the world, died at
her home here Tuesday after a
long illness. She was n years
of ago and had travelled around
world several times. under the
management of the late p. T.

Countess Magri was the daugh.

One of the worlds most famous
dwarfs, Mrs. Tom Thumb, who
was correctly but less popularity
known as the Countess Magri,
measured only 32 inches in
height. Born in Middleboro,
Mass, she outlived all the profes-
sional associates Of her genera
ton. Her first husband, Gener-
al Tom Thumb, has been dead
for 30 years. Her sister, also a
dwarf, still smaller, died 35 years
ago. The parents were of large
stature and numerous children
born to them, with two except
ions, were of normal size. At
birth Lavina Warren, for such
was Mrs. Thumbs maiden name,
weighed six pounds and at the
age of one year she was of nor
NAL size. For the next nine years
she grew slowly, and then sud
denly stopped altogether. At 70
her hair was still jet black, and
fine black eyes sparkled from a
full, round, dimpled face, and her
voice was always soft and sweet.
Her first public appearance
was at the age of II, under the

She met p. T. Barnum in 1862.
Then began her great career un-
der his management. 1t was a
tour of triumph throgh the camps
of the civil war and foreign capi-
tails. 1t is said that her photo
graphs are in more family albums
than any other PERSONS in the
worlds history.
Her public career occupied Sc
eventful years. During this time
she Travelled over the civilized
world and had been introduced
to nearly every crowned head and
eminent person in every country

Mrs. Thumb made her farewell

Work a Blessing, Not a Curse.


work is a brother to him that is a
great waster. Proverbs 1S:9.
For the people had mind to
work. y Nehemiah 4:6. t
In the Book of Books .of which
it has been well said that it is not
a library in itself, but that it is
greater than all other Libraries,
a book which it took the Almighty
1900 years, speaking through 10
men, to write lis to be found wis,
dom, human and divine, and the
two extracts which we havequot.
ed might furnish a text for many
a sermon just now. The first
states the great truth that the
man who "ls slothful in his work
is a brother to him that is agreat
Waster. Both classes are CON
demned by the Almighty Him,
self, and they should becondemn.
ed by every man who recognizes
that work is the divine instru-
mentality for the development of
body and mind of the individual
and for the saving of the world.
!. The second quotation relates to
a time when the people of Israel
had a mind to work" In the
hour of emergency, when their
country was at stake, they con-
centrated their activities night
anal day upon work. No time
was to be lost in the great effort
which they were then making to
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
Thru their heroic work, when all
the people joined together and all
the people had a mind to work"
success was achieved.
The people of America must
have "a mind to work" Into
their work they must throw the
whole energy of their nature.
The "slothful man" and the was
ter must be regarded as slackers
unworthy of the respect of any
one.
Any organization which seeks
to limit the labor 81 themembers.
any individual who is slothful in
business who wastes his own
time or that of his employer, and
the one is a waster of the sub
stance of others, or of the coun.
try, will. unless they change their
methods, never be classed as peo,
pie who had a mind to work."
they are not workers; they are
shirkers, slackers, and their
number grows alarmingly great.
Men are being taught that
work is something to be stunned
when they should he taught that
that it is Gods appointed way
for all mankind's advancement.
God Himself works, and in all
of his divine teachings of the Bi-
bic there is one increasing strain
in favor of work. "Tha slothful
man." and the man who has not
a mind to woiA1" are going di-
rOctly contrary to the teachings
of that Almighty.
This nation needs to be taught
the dignity Of work. We need to
glorify word - work on the farm
and in the mine and in the facto.
ry, work in the Office, work in the
schoolroom, work in the pulpit.
Men who have derided work, or
who have sought to limit the out.
put of laborers not merely by un.
duly reducing the hours Of labor,
but by reducing the amount of
work that a man may doin a Civ.
e time, are flying directly in the

ole.
Work is a blessing, not acurse.
