SUN CITY DELIVERY CHANGED TO FRIDAY According to a notice receiv ed this (Thursday) morning from George K. Dominick, post master, the department will be unable to make city ' deliveries of The Sun on Thursday after noons as previusly done. The reason given was lack of appro priations for the post office de partment for this year. Since additional help has been used in the past to distribute The Sun on Thursday afternoon, lack of operating income prevents em ployment of the help needed. We hope this curtailment in service will be only temporary and that regular Thursday after noon deliveries will be resumed in the near future.

County Sets Record For Tax Collections A record for tax collections for Newberry county has been reached according to J. Ray Dawkins, county treasurer, who stated this morning that he has collected 94.68 per cent of the 1946 taxes, being the best for the county as far back as he can find records. The unpaid taxes in the amount of $15,119.74 plus the penalty of $1,058.38 is being turned over to Tax Collector Tabor L. Hill for collection. There has been considerable improvement in the collection of taxes, for as late as 1938 the amount of unpaid taxes trans ferred to the tax collector amounted to over $94,000. The taxpayers of Newberry County are to be commended for their promptness in the payment of their taxes. It is also interesting to note that in one school district every •taxpayer made payment before becoming delinquent, this being the Red Knoll school district. It is hoped that this improve- metn in the prompt payment of taxes will be continued until Newberry county is at the top of the list of counties in the state.
