merchants in all sections of North
Carolina, put into operation Tues
day a new uniform schedule for
the collection of the state sales

Since the adoption of the sales
AK there have been three sche-
and because of the confusion
Of these schedules Commissioner of
Revenue Allen ]. Maxwell has an
bounced a single schedule that will
apply to all types of businesses.
Under the new schedule the tax
collected will be as follows:
From l to 9 cents: no tax.
From 10 to IS cents: l cent tax.
From Sc to 20 cents: 2 cents
tax. -
From II cents to Sl.O5: ; cents
tax.
Above S1.O5, the rate will be at
; percent and application will be
governed by the major fractions of
purchases.
The new schedule is on the basis
of accumulated sales, too, whereas
under the old schedules the tax was
on each separate item.
Another difference in the new
schedule is that merchants must

Practically All Bust

City Join
New Wage Scale For
Employees
Designed To Increase
Employment And
Shorten Hours

Salisbury manufacturers, mer
chants, business men and operators
of all types of businesses are sign
ing or have indicated that they
will sign the National Recovery
Administrators agreement or
blanket code,' sponsored by Pre-
sdent Roosevelt in an effort to in
crease, Immediately, the purchasing
power of the great masses of A.
nerican people thus restore
prosperity.
The agreements have been dis
tributed in the city and since that
time every employer has been
studying the agreement, Analysing
it, specializing on the effect which
it will have on his business. That
it will have a marked effect no one
will deny.
There is in evidence a marked
willingness to support the Presi-
dent in his bold mov for restora-
ton of the Nations purchasing
power. But there is also evidenc
that living up to the N. R. A.
agreement will be a difficult thing
for many a business man to do, I'M
less prosperity does return, and
that almost at once, in order that
the increased expenses incurred
under the agreement may be cared
for out of increased business.
Because for one reason or an
other, there has been delay in
agreeing upon codes for the various
groups of industries, President
Roosevelt has found it necessary to
provide a blanket code to govern
all industries and businesses, until
such time as codes for the individ-
ual groups may be agreed upon and
approved.
The blanket codes provides that
every person employed shall re-
ceive a salary of not less than s12
per week, with hours Of employ
ment ranging from IS to 40 hours
per week. Following is the blan-
ket code presented for signature

Vets Are Working
Quietly In North
Carolina
Election Will Be Held
November 9TH.
100 Delegates Will
Be Named To N.
G. Convention

The repeal-standpat fight in
North Carolina, with leaders of
thought divided ON the question of
whether to emove the eighteenth
amendment from the Federal con-
stitution or leave prohibition
as it is, will probably get under
way in a definite manner late in
|Ausast q carly il ptsEsbs
leaders Of both camps predicted
On September 5 a-big dry rally
will be held in Charlotte, but plans
for the event have not yet been
made, Francis O. Clarkson Of
Charlotte, a member of the cam
paign committee of the United
Dry Forces, said. What sort of
activities are to be conducted by
the repeal advocates has not been
announced. Robert Lassiter is chair
man of the organization heading
the repeal efforts in North Caro-
linn. Walter Murphy Of Salisbury,
former speaker Of the North Caro-
lima house of representatives, is the
executive secretary.
Under the law passed by the
recent North Carolina General AS
sembly, an election will be held
November 7 to determine the
states stand. At this election de-
legates will be named to compose
a constitutional convention, and
the delegates will number 100, the
same number as compose the
North Carolina house of repre-
sentatives. Each county will elect
to the convention as many dele
gates as it has representatives in the
General Assembly.
The voters will have two bal
lots, it was explained with advoca-
ties Of retention of the eighteenth
amendment voting mo conven-
ton" If they win, it was pointed
out, there will be no purpose IN
having a convention, for without
such a convention prohibition, as
far as North Carolina is concerned,
will remain in the national con-
stitution.
Il If the advocates of repeal win,
however, it will be necessary to
hold a convention at which the
state can Be put on record as OPP
posing the retention of the eigh-
tenth amendment. The conven-
ton will be called. merely as a
formality and to comply with the
provisions of the recently enacted
law which provided the conven-
ton method as the proper one for
passing upon the question of re-
peal.
The delegates will be bound, as
in the case of the electoral college
in presidential elections, by the
vote of the electors. A delegate
elected on a repeal ticket could
legally vote against repeal, but he
wouldn't dare do so, and vice
versa; although, if the prohibition
lists win, there will be nc conven-
ton, and by the same sort of ex-
PLANTATION, if the repeal advocates
win and a convention is called, it
means that North Carolina is join
ing the repeal parade.

the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy were
sitting swan Little Joe Otter,
~ Mrs. Otter and their two nearly
grown children. Hello, Paddy!"
cried Little Joe. TT is a long time
since I have seen you"
YES" replied Paddy, "it is a long
time. Where have you been keeping
"oh, here and there" replied Little
Joe carelessly. "Only while the chill
dren are small do We stay long in one
place, but we mean to get back to the
pleasant places every once in a while.
I see you and Mrs. Paddy have been
busy since was last here"
Yes" replied Paddy. I'VE have two
ponds now, and II do say SO we are
pretty well fixed. We have done a lot
Of hard work. but now we are ready to
take things easy. Are those your chill
dren?" He nodded toward the two
young Otters who were staring rather
impolitely.
Little Joe promptly introduced them.
Children" said he, these are Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy. Always treat them
with respect"
I'VE WILL" replied the two young OF
ters, staring at Paddy's great cutting
teetn.
Then one Of them spied the big Bea-
yer house standing In the water and
noticed that on one side of the root
was smooth place. 1t was where the
Beavers were in the habit of sliding
down into the water when startled as
they sat on their roof. Come on!" he
cried. There's a slippery slide!"
Instantly the two youngsters were
off. shooting through the water, and a
moment later were scrambling up the
roof of Paddy's house Then one be-
hind the other they slid down into the
water again.
The little dears are just brirnmine

proudly. They do love to play and
when they play they play hard"

w1dower, is coming with him and will
be best man at our wedding, because
my fiance has no intimate friends here
in the East. and he and his father have
always been very companionable. One
OF our family says this Is extremely bad
taste. Before my fiance changes these
plans, he asked me to write for your
opinion"
Answer A great affection and COM
panionship between father and son is
very rare, but scarcely in bad taste! /
think the young man must be a person
OF loyalty and heart and lacking in
self consciousness. All of these attri-
butes are closer to the source of good
taste than any mere conventions.
my dear Mrs. Post: I am pastor OF
about $50 families and planning to be
married soon. Should I be expected
to invite all my parishioners to my
wedding or only my intimate friends?
As may be setting precedent, want
to be sure whatever do is right"
IS Answer: I would suggest that YOU
invite all Of your parishioners (I think
they will feel deeply hurt II you dc
not), although 1t Is not necessary to
send out invitations other than those
which you might include In your
church paper or Sunday calendar
Otherwise, you give your invitation
