HARD BLOW At TAX DODGERS
One County Farmer Brings Truck
Load Of Seventy Bushels Peaches
and PIums to Market

Lenor-The board of appraisers
for Caldwell county on revaluation,
have completed their work and the
fact is revealed that this county has
gone from six millions valuation IN
1919 to over II millions under the re-
valuation act The figures today are
real estate, $13,35S,242; personal prop
erty, $4,455,322; totalng $l7Sl3,564.
Besides this over 10000 acres of land
have been added to the tax books,
which have not been on them before.
The acreage listed in 1919 we're 245,-
496; the new assessment Is 276,346,
making the gain 30,S50. That Is what
revaluation has done for Caldwell
county. The state and county tax In
Caldwell in 1919 was $1,55 1-3 per
500. Under the revaluation assess
ment there Is strong probability
that these taxes will be very material
ly reduced. The tax dodger Is the
only one who Is hit by the revaluation
act.

nine miles from Wilkesboro. was in

He says he expects to clear $4,000 on

DURHAM BACKS ITS MILITARY
Mayor writes The Governor Approving
his Act In The Appointment OF a
Committee of investigation

Durham Mayor Newsom, OF Dur
ham, has written Governor Beckett ex.
pressing approval of his plan for a
thorough investigation into the shoot
ing at Graham in which an innocent
bystander was killed when members
of the Durham machine gun company
protecting three negroes in the jail
at that place, fired on what they be-
lieved was mob preparing to attack
the jail, and asks to be notified as to
whether arrangements have been
made for counsel for the militiamen.
He assures the governor that Dur
ham Is solidly behind its military
company and wishes to 90 the limit
in protecting it from undeserved criti-
cism.
Mayor Newsom has also written
Captain Marion B. Fowler command
ing the machine gunners, expressing
confidence in him and his company.
He took occasion in the letter to com
pliment the soldiers for UNFOLDING the
dignity Of North Carolina laws. The
mayor stated that he hoped to be al
lowed to attend any investigation
held and wishes to see personally
that the machine gun company lacks
nothing in the way of moral support.
