1871 AUTO LICENSES
SOLD SINCE JULY |
Price of State Tags Was Cut
In Half AS of First of
This Month

A total of 181 sets of State auto
mobile license plates had been sold
by the local branch office Of the Caro-
lima Moor Club toby since July l.
w. C. Gates, manager of the office,
said Comparative figures for last
year were not available.
The price of the licenses was cut in
half as of July 1, since that date
marked the beginning of the latter
half of the year. The price was cut
April 1 to three-fourths of the annual
fee, and on October 1 the price will be
cut, that time to one-fourth of the
annual price.
Of the 181 sets of plates sold since
July 1, a total of 14O was automobiles,
80 for trucks and eleven for trailers.
For the entire 1888 license year to
date, total sales have amounted to
1O,347 sets of plates, Of which SOS
were for automobiles, 952 for trucks
and 889 for trailers
Mr.. Gates explained that most of
the trailers for which licenses were
obtained were of the small pickup
type, used largely by farmers in haul
ing their products to town, and in
handling tobacco during the selling
season.
During 1887 slightly more than H.
900 sets of license plates for the
State were sold by the local Office
and it is believed that figure will be
exceeded this year.

COMMISSIONERS TO
ADOPT NEW BUDGET
Tax Rate, However. Not 10
Be Fixed At Meeting To
Be Held Monday

A budget for the county will be
adopted by the Vance Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners at a meeting to be
held next Monday the figures to
cover county operations during the
fiscal year July ! this year through
June 30 next year.
Tentative figures already prepared
for the budget add up to total con-
siderably less than for the last pre-
ceding fiscal year, and a cut in the
tax levy is anticipated, though the
rate will not be fixed by the COM
missioners at the meeting Monday.
Under State law, the new budget
must he approved by the commission
ers not later than the fourth Mon
day in July. The estimates have al
ready been under consideration by the
board, and have been, in the main
tentatively approved Several minor
changes will likely be made by the
commissioners before final action is
taken on next Monday, but the total
will remain substantially as at pre-
sent. it was indicated.
Payment of considerable sums in
unmatured debt obligations of the
county will be large factor in max
ing possible a reduction of the tax
rate this year. 1t has been estimated
that the levy for the year will be
around Is cents on the $500 valuation,
compared with SO cents the past year,
and SO cents the previous year Near
ly 100000 in bonded obligations have
been paid off during the year.

City Budget To Be Less
But Taxables Also Less
Hoping for Lower Tax Rate Than 1887 Levy OF $l.75;
Percentage of Arrears ess In Collections to Dates
Budget Figues To B Presented Monday

tax arrears at the end of June was
slightly more than last year, due to
the fact that the citys tax levy was
hiked from $1.25 the previous year to
SITS for 1898. But the percentage
of arrears, as compared with the
total amount of the tax levy, which
was 1922, 56S.15, was less. At the end
of June, uncollected taxes for 1898
amounted to approximately $14,5O0.
The Council on Monday night will
probably fix a date for the adver-
Using of tax arrears. After August 1,
the penalty on unpaid taxes for last
year will be IL percent. The date
for the sale of city accounts will be
fixed one week after the sale by the
county, which is expected to be de-
termined at a meeting of the county
commissioners on Monday.
Questions of finance will probably
be the most important business be-
fore the City Council Monday night
at it's regular monthly meeting for
July.

The budget for the City of Hen
derson during the coming year will be
less but taxable values will also be
less bv reason of the city being de-
prived of intangibles by the State, it
was said today by City Clerk S. b.

STRONG COMEBACK
MADE BY TOBACCO.
Much of Crop Looking Up
AS Result of Showers of
This Week

Tobacco is making a strong come
back from the unfavorable conditions
that resulted from the excessive pc
riod of rain in June, according to OBJ
servers of the crop, and this is espe-
cially true of the late crop.
Frequent showers this week have
had the effect of bringing about a
rather marked Improvement, it is
said, and some think the late crop
will be about normal as to quality.
Curings so far have consisted of strip
pings from the earlier paintings, and
were turned out with good color, but
light in weight.
There have been SO persistent and
continuous rains this week to retard
the growth of the young crop, and
the rain has been in about the proper
proportion, with sunshine interspersed
in like proportion.
Crop prospects now are much
brighter than two or three weeks ago,
affording demonstration of the
comeback power of the weed under
the right weather conditions. At one
time the crop in the fields showed
poor promise for yields, and there was
spirit of pessimism over the out
look. But favorable weather in the
past few weeks has largely changed
this situation.
