RECORD BREAKING
TAX PAYING LIST
Fewer Unpaid Bills In Madison
County Than Ever Before
With Tobacco Cop Unsold

: There are fewer tax bills unpaid
in Richmond and Madison county
at this time than for many years
past and this fact was very evil
dent, states Sheriff Pete Whitlock
at the close of the last day of
November, since the penalty for
on-payment was attached imme-
diately. There was approximate
$4,000 more paid in at the office
of the sheriff during the last ten
| days than the corresponding per-
iod any previous year, and th.>
saying good deal
The fact is all the more credit
able since it is known that this
year for the first time there has
been no money realized on the to-
bacco crop, it having been hereto
fore disposed of to large degree
at this time.
Indications are that the resi-
diets of the county are better of
financially this year than ever be-
fore, although they have been and
are still paying higher prices for
labor ON the farm. This immense
amount paid in within a period of
two days represents hundreds of
bills and the seemingly impossible
task Of caring for them has been
mastered and the receipts are cor
rect and in full. The books at
the sheriff's office indicate the
greatest tax paying period in the
history of the county.
There is not the usual dclin-
quent list" stated Sheriff Whit
lock, in speaking of the large
amount paid in over the usual
amount of former years, "and
there will not be the trouble there
has been in former years, since
the payments have been more
general, and some who have been
tardy in paying in years gone by,
have evidently prohted by their
experience, since some of them
were among the early ones to re-
port"
No excuses are acceptable, since
there have been formal notices
sent out, and issued thru regu-
lar channels and the county will
proceed to collect the additional
costs represented by law. This
will, it is believed, in the future,
eliminate most of the delinquents,
since they are growing less each
year, it is said. The conditions
are improving and officials con-
nected with the collection of taxes
in the county and keeping the re-
cords, are optimistic over facts
represented this year.
Madison county is surely in
good way, financially" comment
ed Sheriff Whitlock, in discuss
ing the situation. The prompt
payment OF so many taxpayers
will enable the force at the office
to place the returns on record
within a short time and do away
with much additional work which
would have been the result OF
big delinquent list.
