Twenty-four states are wet in the sense that all forms of liquor can be purchased one way or another. It is little trouble to buy liquors in the ten technically dry states.

Lehman has accepted honorary chairmanship of the Lake George Gold Cup Regatta National j Committee, it was announced today ,'by C. Kverett Bacon, president of tho Lake George Club. ' The Gold Cup Regatta, which will be held at Bolton landing on I<ake George August 8, 4 and 5, includes a race for tho Governor Lehman l>ake George Cup" This troplry was the gift^f New York state's chief executive "last autnmer while ho had his summer homo on Lake George.

A scar on the dead man's face and another on his ^tojft ring finger tally exactly with descriptions of the sleek young outlaw who has terrorized eastern Oklahoma since Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd abdicated as "king of the Coonkson Hills," outlaw rendezvous. GOOD ADVICE To the Delinquent Taxpayer: Do you know tvhat it costs you not to pay your taxes when-due and allow them to be collected by the sheriff? I do not believe you do and for that reason I have gone into t^xis matter thoroughly and I am giving you accurate figures to show you how terribly expepeivo it is. It costs the delinquent taxpayers in thi^ county this year $3,470.18 ^pd I have not included the property that will be sold for taxes. It would have cost at least $900 more if mileage had been collected and increased the average taxpayer's cost by $1. The average cost per taxpayer without mileage is $3.64 each. The average tax in this county last year was reduced from 40 to 34 mills but if you allow your 1933 taxes to be collected by the sheriff you will pay 45 mills instead 34. This is the average increase and of course for some it w ill be a great deal more and for some it will bo less. Your taxes will then be increased five mills instead of being reduced' six mills. This is a terrific cost and does the county very little good for the reason that the sheriff, treasurer and interest get most of the extrd cost. When you fail to pay we have to borrow and of course pay interest. I believe that nine out of ten if they made th? same effort to pay the treasurer that they do to pay the sheriff when salesday arrives that the taxes could be paid when due and save themselves this heavy burden. I do hope that this will open your eyes on tho question of delinquent taxes. If only half of the delinquent taxpayers will read this article and take my advice, it will save them three times m> salary and expenses for on? year. So far as I know the tax books will close on March 15th. See the treasurer before that time and save yourself tho burden you have been bearing.?*H. Klugh Purdy in The Columbia Record. Raseket Ball Tournament Charlotte Thompson boys basket ball team defeated Blaney here Friday in a flashy game?-17 to 9.

Eight girls teams composed of Bethune, Antioch, Camden, Midway, Mt. Piagah, Blaney and Charlotte Thompson took part in the tournament. Games were played Thursday, Friday and Saturday and large crowds , ? . ,, 1 * * Vf^ 3H9 League Opposes Additional Taxes If there is any surplus revenue, over and above that required to meet state appropriations,, that surplus should be applied to the reduction of taxes, the Farmers and 'Taxpayers League declared, in a statement given out yesterday in which it commented en the action,vof the state senate in recommitting the general/ appropriation bill. The- bill carrying a total of $6,784,0Q0 was sent baek to the finance committee for further study. The statement given, out, by the Taxpayers League was as follows: The senate, in recommitting the state appropriation bill, sends it back : to the finance committee either to have the amount reduced or to provide additional rovenue through new taxes. It is inconceivable that uny responsible legislator should think of increasing the taxes. There is no service, no agency of the state, however important, whose operation will jus tify an additional tax. On the other hand, .the time is here for reduction' of taxis. This is no lone voice howling in the wilderness, no prophet of gloom. We have before the people of this state the careful study of the budget commission, Governor Blackwood sat with Senator S. M, Ward and Representative Neville Bennett for two months, hearing every institution and service present its claim and studying their reports as verified by the | state auditor who sat with the budget j commission as secretary, and who during the preceding months had visited all the institutions ajnd departments of the state examining their financial conditions. This budget commission is not composed of cranks and pessimists; but it is presided over by the governor of the state who has never been identified in any way with the Farmers and Taxpayers league, but who, on the contrary, is not a great admirer of the league. The next member in rank of three members of the commission is General iS. M. Ward, the venerable veteran chairman of the state finance committee who has never been suspected of any affiliation with the league. These gentlemen, together with Neville Bennett, made a serious study of the needs of the institutions and of the condition of the state, and as late as January 1 recommended to the general-assembly that the appropriation bill should not exceed $5,984,846.22,which includes a 10 per cent, increase for the schools. If there will be any surplus, or such surplus as the office holders predict, it should be applied to the reduction of taxes apd not consumed by employes. Two and one-half mills of the state general property tax might be taken off, giving some relief, however small, to the man struggling to pay his taxes. This would shpw that the legislature really wishes to do something for the taxpayers of the state. If they do not use this opportunity then the people back home might as well understand thjat all this talk of doing something for the people is just clap trap.?Columbia State of March 2, 1934. ' Fire did damage to the extent of $100,000 at Smithfield, N. C., when it swept the largest business structure of the town. / Mt. Pisgah Baptist ChurcK There will be services at the Mt.
