State Senator Garland Gray. of
Waverly, chairman of the Demo-
cratic committee for the Fourth
District. has issued a call for the
caucus to convene at 10 am,
il the banquet room of the
Methodist Church in the conven-
ticn city Of Virginia Beach.
In a note to Robert X. Brock,
Prince Edward county party
chieftan. Gray requested him to
inform delegates that the church
is located Just across from the
convention site, Virginia Beach,
new, domed municipal certer-by-
the-sea.
IL Votes
The county will have II votes
for convention proceedings, al
though the county committee has
authorized p delegates, each
possessing a half vote. That de-
wise provides for double sized
delegation without exceeding the
.county's voting authorization.
The Fourth District caucus is
expected to reach agreement on
convention procedures, similar to
the process through which the
county recently arranged the pro-
cedures for its delegates.
Principal task Of the state con
Ventlon will be to elect delegates
to the national Democratic con-
ventiCn, and determine what. if
any. instruction they are to 60
armed with. There has also been
speculation that there may be
some maneuvering on the con-
vention floor resulting from diff
ferences that. temporarily at
least. split party members of
differing views during the last
session of the Legislature.
Farmville and each district in
the county will have delegates at
Saturdays every-four-year party
conclave at the beach. Of the
lriginal il votes, five were as
signed to Farmville delegates
and one each to the six magis-
terlal districts.
Formally elected delegates
have been authorized to select
their own proxies in the event
they are unable to attend. Inter-
ested party members even with
out official convention creden-
tails are welcomed to the gather
ing.
At their mass meeting last
week. county Democrats agreed
to place the delegation under the
unit rule: empowered official
delegates present, even though
the number falls short of the II
votes, to cast the total author
lied the county, and agreed to
send the delegates uninstructed.

State Income Tax Payments

State income tax payments by
Prince Edward county residents
at the May | deadline were
Sl72 .634, an increase of 500. AS,
or II per cent. over payments
at the same period year ago.

or 1928.
Since last years returns were
new high in state income tax
collections. the payments this
year represent a heavy gain. The
total will 90 even higher since
there are ways delinquent
filers. Womack estimates this
years late filers will run to
about the normal number.
10 TO higher
BY June 30 year ago, the
Commissioner had received re-
turns totaling $145.878. Womack
estimated that by the time de-
linquent filers have completed
payments. the total assessed
against 1859 income in the town
ard county may reach as high
as SITS 900.
The state income tax assess
ments are made by the Com
missioner Payments are made
to the county treasurer. who for
wards the entire amount to the
Commonwealth. since this tax is
entirely a state fiscal assess
ment.
Penalties must be added to
payments made after the annual
May | filing deadline.
The Commissioner said that
changes in income tax payments
generally reflect cnages in: ca
population, or (2) income. Since
census figures here indicate a
declining population trend. he
could only speculate that the re-
turns show a considerable III
crease in 1859 income here as
against that received in 1858.
Census Surprise
He said that in view of both
the increased numbers of tax re-
turns and the higher payments,
the census report came as a con-
siderable surprise to him. He did
not take issue with it. however.
Wonack said that the II per
cent increase in income tax pay
NETS over year ago runs well
ahead of that anticipated for the
state as a whole by the Cover
nor's budget planners. They had
made their calculations based on
an anticipated five per cent in
crease. the Commissioner point
ed out. On the state level, fiscal
anticipations usually run to the
conservative side.
The preliminary 1860 census
count in the county showed
population of 1882. or some
,460 less than the number count
ed in 1850. That is approximately
a 10 per cent decrease.

More Than Face-Uplifting
Two hundred and ten thousand
dollars poured into the existing

uplifting job - it built a new
church. The exterior got the new
face. ivory paint with a white
trim and the architecture was
converted from Gothic to Co.
lonial by using rounded windows.
The interior didn't get a face
uplifting it was torn out and
then rebuilt with more in mind
than Identification. The sanctu-
airy was rearranged to provide
a seating capacity of 800, a third
more than the original arrange
ment. The educational building
was revamped to make full use
of every available inch of space
under the existing roof.

cational building to handle 700
children. Farmville Manufacture
ing Company. the contracted

able for comment today. How
ever. he plans to return in time

The building committee chair
man said, 1--WE are very appreci-
alive of the wonderful coopera-
ton other churches and the vari-
GUS organizations gave us during
the period the church was not
usable." Thanks we're extended
to the MaSons. the Odd Fellows,
the management OF Collins Flu
neral Home and State Theater
for the use of their facilities. A
word of appreciation to local Of
ficialS for the use of the court
house and the recreation center

October. AT that time all former
members will be invited to join
