PENALTY FACES TARDY
PAYERS OF SALES TAX

Raleigh, Aug. "A warning to
every person selling merchandise at
retail in North Carolina that they
must file sales tax returns and pay
ment by August Is or be liable to q
five per cent penalty was sounded to-
night by A. J. Maxwell, state revenue
commissioner.
Under the new sales tax law every
person selling merchandise at retail
must file returns and make tax pay
ments each month for the preceding
month. Maxwell pointed out. The July
payents will be in arrears after
August Is.
"Under the old law retail mer-
chants who did no have to pay more
than $40 tax in a month could make
a quarterly report and payment and
If the tax was1less than $40 quar-
terly they could pay annually but
under the new law each mush report
and pay every month";" Mr.. Maxwell
warned.

FIDDLER'S CONVENTION
HERE is CALLED OFF

The Fiddler's Convention, which
has been announced for August 10,
has been called off because of the
revival meeting that is being held at
the local Baptist church. At the time
the convention was announced, it was
not known that the meeting would
continue until that date.
Much interest has been shown in
signing up to play in the contest and
the Woman's Club, under whose SUI
pervision it was being given, expects
~ postrone it until some date during
September instead of calling it off
all together. Further announcements
will be made.

Board of Education Continues
to Select Teachers for County
County Commissioners Spend Busy
Day; "a Taxes Ordered Adver-
tised During August

Teachers swarmed in Jefferson
Monday after the word had gone
abroad that the final selection and
approval of teachers would be COM
pleted when the County Board of
Education met on that date. The news
proved false alarm, however, for
the job of appointing teachers was
such a big one that it had to be con-
tinued until another meeting. Reports
from the office of the county super
intendent are that the board hopes to
be able to have jobs for a maximum
number of teachers and to maintain
as much peace and cooperation in the
various communities as possible.
The Skyland Post will carry a list
of the teachers in the county as soon
as one is ready for publication.
The County Commissioners spent a
busy but more or less uneventful
day. Scores came to town for the sole
purpose Of paying off their '34 taxes.
An order was made to advertise de-
linquent taxpayers GHring the month
of August. Several hundred names
have been taken out Of the original
list during the past few days. Sheriff
Miller states that he is hiOh1v Meas
ed with the rate with which the taxes
are coming in.
There has been no change in the
tax levy for the county for the past
three years; the levy for 1885 being
$1.4O as is was in '33 and '34.

Daniels Chosen to
Head State Legion
Fayetteville Meeting Goes on Record
as FavOring Immediate Pay
ment of Bonus

Fayetteville, Aug. 6.-North Caro-
lima American Legionnaires today ac-
claimed their national commander,
Frank N. Belgrano, Jr., who came on
crutches all the way from California
especially to address them; agreed
with him by unanimous resolution
that the adjusted compensation GER
tificates should be paid in full at
once; elected Josephus Daniels, Jr.,
of Raleigh, State commander by ac-
clamation, and chose Asheville as
next years convention city.
Louis G. Radcliffe of Charlotte, ma
tional committeeman, and Stickney
Boyd of Wilson, alternate national
committeeman, were reelected for
two year terms, last year.
After the elections, Commander
Olive read to the convention letter
from Josephus Daneils, ambassador
to Mexico, in which the wartime
naval secretary expressed the firm
assurance that the North Carolina
Legionnaires are serving in the pres
ent war for recovery as patrioticaly
as they did in the World war. Am
bassador Daniels deplored the repeal
Of excess profits and income taxes in
the highest brackets before the adj
justed compensation was paid. He
protested against use Of the term
"bonus"-calling it rather "a post
poned small compensation for SER
vices that were so distinguished as to
be beyond recompense in terms of
money"

Ashe County Falls in Lowest
WPA Scale of Wages of NC.
Wages determined by Population;
State Finds Itself Lowest
- Paid in Nation

C. H. Smithey, district, projects
supervisor, announced here this week
that Ashe county, along with all the
other counties in the sixth district,
has been placed in the lowest wage
classification set up recently by the
Works Progress Administration.
This classification is based on the
population of the largest town in the
county. All counties having no town
of over 5000 population are placed
in the lowest classification. The sixth
district incldes Wilkes, Allegheny,
Watauga, Yadkin, and Ashe. Accord
ing to Mr.. Smithey, none of these
counties has city of over 5000 pop
ulation. Surrey county, adjoining
Allegheny and Wilkes, has Mt. Airy
with a poplation of 5000 and there
fore falls into higher classification.
The rate of pay in this county and
in sixty-five others Of the State will
range from the national minimum of
$19 per month for unskilled labor to
$27 for intermediate labor, $35 for
skilled labor, and $39 for professional
and technical service.
Twenty-seven counties in the State
are included in the group for which
wages will range from $22 to SAG;
two in the group with scale from
S25 to $55, and five in the group with
rates from $27 to $64. BY virtue Of
the Presidents order fixing WPA
wage scales, North Carolina was
placed in ergion IV-the lowest wage
area in the nation. These rates are
supposed to provide subsistence
wages in the various localities.
Yearly pay accordingly in North
Carolina then will range from 1928
for unskilled labor in the lowest
group to $768 for professional techni-
cal workers in the highest classified
ton. s5s
No definite information has been
given out as to when the various adj
ministrative units Of PWA will be
set up and the works program insti-
tuted, but it is thought likely that an
organization may be completed dur
ing the month of September.

LEGAL TANGLE ON PARKWAY
GETS A FEW KNOTS UNITED
Ickes Signs Government Title and
Work Is Expected to Actually
Begin at Once

A contract under which North Car
DINA will give the Federal govern
ment title to the right of-way for the
first link of q enic highway between
the Shenandoah National park in
Virginia and the Great Smoky Noun
tains National park in North Caro-
lima was signed Saturday by Secre-
tary 1ckes.
Bids for construction Of the link,
a 12-mile stretch in Allegheny coun-
ty, N. c., just below the Virginia
North Carolina line, already have
been received, and work will get un-
der way as soon as the contract is
signed by North Carolina highway
officials.
Charles Ross, counsel for the North
Carolina Highway commission, said
the width of the right-of-way would
vary between 200 and 1900 feet,
averaging about 800 feet for the r.
mile strech. In addition, provision is
made to give the government ease
ments at points along the way where
there ar particular scenic attractions.
The Federal Roads bureau, which
will construct the 4OO-mile parkway
at an estimated ost of $4,000, 900, al
ready has approved the low bid for
the first link, and is prepared to au-
thorize work to begin as soon as the
contract negotiations are completed.
Nello Teer of Durham, N. c., was
low bidder on the link, submitting a
proposal of approximately $365,0OO.

that Morgenthau "knows absolutely
