'urs very truly,
G. G.. Buchanan

You did your part well in the gre I
War. You gave to the Red Cross and
7. M. c. A, You bought bonds and
stamps. You paid the war taxes with
out complaint. You obeyed the food
rules cheerfully. You gave your sons
to 60 and fight. You did all this for
your country and your homes. Do
you hold your country and deno
cracy above the cause of Chri ,t-th, :,
salvation Of immortal souls? Which
Is the more imp porta ito kill mea
or to save them?
All the evangelical churches are
planning big drives to preach and
spread the Gospel in this time of
peac, when the crippled world is
looking 20 America for help and
leadership. We know that only the
Gospel of Jesus can save mems souls
We have the money. If the work of
the Christian churchesis not doub-
led at home and abroad within the
next five years, the blame will lie
with the people who call themselver
Christians, and thus believers in the
great commission to preach the
Gospel to every creature and make
Christians of all nations.
The Methodist Church has been
doing missionary work a hundred
years -1819-1919. For years her
people have been giving" quarter
or fifty cents, and the work has
been creeping along at home an !
abroad. For the past few years the
Methodist Church has barely held
her own" Unless she wakes up and
begins to do big things in this day
OF big things. she will be forced into
second rank and become Joke am
ons men of great organizations and
movements. Will Your pride in your
great branch of the Church and you
love for your Lord allow you to
stand by" while Methodism re-
mains at standstill?
Methodism is in the midst of a
great drive. She expects every mem
Der and every friend, great and
small, to join the League of PRAYER
and the League of Stewardship. She
expects them to work in the Cente-
nary. movement with prayer, labor
and money. In the great financial
drive, May 1875. she expects
every member and friend, large and
small, to makea fve-year subscrlp-
ton for spreading the Gospel. She
must have the $35,OOO,O0O.OO to
grow and spread her work as ought
to be done. Much of the money is to
be spent right here in these noun
talns. Will you be a Stacker or a
backer-Which?

IMPORTANT TO
TAX PAYERS

10 Inc lax Payers of North Carolina:
The General Assembly, just ad-
Journed, has imposed a responsible
ty upon the Corporation Commits
sion as a State Tax Commission
which it feels unable to properly
meet without the support of the tax
payers OF the State, AS Chairman of
the commission, l desire to take the
people into the confidence of the
Commission and acquaint them with
the purpose of the General Assem-
Dly ard request of them their full CO.
operation in aiding us in the proper
discharge of our duties.
For many years, it has been the
law that every persons property
should be assessed for taxation at it's
full value in money. Notwithstand-
Ing this law, nearly everybody in the
State has ecaped e full valuation
OF his property for taxes. The Gen
eral Assembly, just adjourned, has
said by passing the Retaliation
Act, that an end must be made of
this condition and that hereafter
property must be valued for taxes
at its true value. 1t places the re-
sponsiblHty upon our Commission
to see that this is done and it must
and shall be done. 1t is the purpose
of the General Assembly upon a
proper valuation being ma lie. to
tower the tax rate, and it will meet
after the property has been assessed
lor that purpose, so that the burden
upon the tax payers will not neces-
sarily be increased. This is assured
to us as Commission and we in
turn desire to assure the tax payers
OF the State that full valuation of
their property will not mean greatly
increased amount of taxes. The Act
under which this assess m ent is
made provides that the State no
County or municipality shall collect
IN excess of ten per cent more taxes
after this reyalualion is made than
is being collected in 1919 under the
present valuation.
| call upon the people of the State
to assist the Commission in the Sc
lection of splendid business man in
each County as County Tax Assessor,
He should be a man of fine juda-
ment, good business ability, having
a good knowledge Of values both in
Town and Country, and one in whom
the public has confidence as to his
honesty and integrity. 1t is not a
political office but one of strictly
business, and we trust our political
friends will understand this and only
suggest the most competent men.
After the County Supervisor is sell
ected by us, we trust every tax payer
in each and every County of the
State will fully cooperate with him
to the end that he will be able to
assess each persons property at its
true value in money.
