TAXPAYERS VIE WITH EACH
OTHER IN PAYING MONDAY
No Penalty for March; To Advertise
Taxes in May; Jury List Is
Drawn for April

Reports from Sheriff Miller's office
are to the effect that the taxpayers
of the county had to wait in line for
their time to pay taxes on the first
Monday so great were the numbers
who came in to settle up. Mr.. Frank
Miller, clerk in the office, declared
that he did not get to sit down until
well after two o'clock.
The willingness of the people to
pay and the effort being made to do
so caused the County Fathers in their
regular monthly session to decide to
not attach any penalty to the pay
ments in March, and no interest
will be charged on back taxes as
previously threatened. County Chair
man Hartsog wishes to be as lenient
as possible with the taxpayers and
both he and Sheriff Miller appreciate
the prompt payment so far.
1t was decided at the Monday meet
ing that no deviation would be made
from former announcement that
taxes would be advertised in May if
unpaid. Until the very lean depres-
sion years, delinquent taxes had
been advertised in the early summer.
Exceptions were made to this rule
because of the inability of the farm
ers to pay and the unwillingness of
the county to advertise until forced
to. Taxes were not advertised for last
year until December which made it
impossible for the sheriff to settle
with the commissioners and get the
tax books in his office until Febru-
airy.
Little Jack Freeman drew the jury
list for the April term of court which
will convene on the fifteenth with
Judge Pless, of Marion, presiding.

r. L. DOUGHTON BESET OVER
RUNNING FOR GOVERNORSFIIP
Congressional Associates of Farmer
Bob" Expect Announcement
at an Early Date

at run, or not to run"-that APP
parently, is the quandary in which
Congressman Robert L. Doughton,
who represents the Ninth North Car
Dina District in the National Con-
gress, finds himself.
Deluged with letters from all parts
of the State, insisting that he enter
the Gubernatorial race, urged by his
many friends to toss his hat into the
ring without further delay, is about
the state of affairs for the veteran
Congressman.
Announcement recently in the state
papers that Congressman Doughton
intended to retire from .Congress
soon, gave rise to two conjectures:
First, Should he decide to run for
Governor, he of course, will not seek
another term in Congress; and Sec
ond, should he decide not to run for
Governor, he will probably defer to
the demand that he serve one more
term in Congress.
It is believed that if the pressure
continues gathering momentum as it
has during the past six months, he
will probably enter the race for
Governor.
Otherwise, it is forecast, that he
will retire from Congress at the "frst
favorable opportunity. =.
Mr.. Doughton, as Chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, is probably the busiest man
on Capitol Hill. During the past six
weeks, his Committee has conducted
hearings and made an intensive study
of the Presidents Economic Security
program. When this is completed,
the Committee calendar calls for con-
sideration of the Bonus, revision of
the NRA, re-enactment of number
of excise taxes, and various and SUM-
dry bills of lesser Importance.
Displaying the vim and vigor of
man half his age, Mr.. Doughton is on
the job approximately fifteen hours
day. Arriving at his office long he
fore dawn and quitting after al 9TH
er offices are closed, he is recognized
as "the hardest working Congress-
man" on the Hill.
Definite announcement of Mr..
Doughton's intentions insofar as the

VIRGINIA BUYERS OFFER
SIX CENTS FOR CATTLE
Cattle Owners in County Pleased at
Prospects of Realizing Profits
on Beef Cattle

I Owners of beef cattle in the county
are pleased at the offers made by
Virginia buyers of six cents per
pound for. cattle for fall delivery.
This is substantial gain over figures
offered this time last year, or for the
past several years.
Cattle have been on such a low
price level that the rise in prices has
caught many Of our old time cattle
men in the county with fewer head
than they have ever had.
Beef and pork prices show evil
dences of soaring still higher and
since Ashe is ideal for producing
such commodities, farmers should
begin to reap some of the benfits of
the meat scarcity on the markets.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
SEES FOOD PRICES INCREASE
Continued Dry Weather Predicted
for Western United States;
Meat Is High

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
predicted in Washington last week
that food prices would increase by II
per cent during the first half of 1885.
Basing his statement on acompari-
son with the last six months of 1884
made by DIR. Louis H. Bean, AAA
economic advisor, the secretary fore
cast that prices would increase by an
additional per cent during the latter
half of 1885. Bean said he had not
taken new drought threats into con-
sideration.
Dry Weather Seen
Secretary Wallace's statement was
made at press conference shortly
after the weather bureau had report
ed continuation of dry weather
through large portions of five states
severely affected by last summers
drought.
Snow that had fallen in Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Colo
RADIO and eastern Wyoming "was
shifted badly by high Winds" the
weather report said, adding that the
gales produced severe dust storms
a phenomenon which does not ordi-
narily occur until April or May.
That these conditions, plus threat
ened ravages from chinch bugs and
other insects, would drastically OBJECT
crop production this year was con-
coded by economists in Wallace's de-
partment. Even if normal spring
rains should occur, they sAd, the
present lack of sub-soil moist1fe will
drastically affect crop production,
particularly wheat and range grass.
VILLAGE said meat costs were caus-
ing the largest PROPORTION of the food
price increases 1ueing 80 per cent
above the level prevailing during the
last half OILS
However, despite the increases ex-
pected, he said, food will still be the
lowest item, comparatively speaking
in The cost of living and probably
would continue so in 1885.

POSSIBLE THAT BONUS BILL
WILL COME OUT NEXT WEEK
Administration Sees Work Relief
Bill Barely by Committee
Without Amendment

The ways and means committee,
which is considering both the bonus
and the administrations social secur-
ity plan, have voted to start hearings
at once on the bonus bills. Chairman
Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina,
predicted the headings would last on
ly a couple of days, and said it was
possible" a bonus bill will come out
next week.
One Democratic leader conceded
frankly if privately, that a chance to
put the "bonus hot potato issue in
the laps Of the Senators" would "let
the boys (of the house) get big
load off their chests"
In the meantime, the four-billion
dollar work relief measure passed the
Senate appropriations committee,
where it has been snagged for days.
The committee vote was taken aft
er the White House consented to a
rough ALLEGATION of the 100000, 900
for work relief. This division includ-
ed $35,OOO,0OO for flood control and
Vermont's senators said they would
vote aaginst the McCarran wage
amendment if the senate stood by the
flood control ALLEGATION.
In place of the bone of contention
the McCarren amendment TIL
committee approved an amendment
authorizing the President to regulate
the wage rates for men put to work.
The McCarran amendment would
have forced the administration to
pay, in it's work relief program, the
prevailing wage in the particular To-
cality where the project was located.
