SALES TAX CLAIMS
Mr. Parham Finds Greatest
Spirit of Cooperation,
Despite Enmity
Henderson merchants and those in
his territory generally which em
braces Vance and Warren counties,
are showing the finest spirit of co
operation that could be expected of
them in complying with the State’s
three percent general sales tax, de
spite their opposition to it. W. Brooks
Parham, field deputy collector of the
Sta’e Department of Revenue, report
ed today. Mr. Parham is dividing his
time between Henderson and War
renton when he is not traveling his
territory.
The field agent ig collecting all ac
counts of every description that, are
due the State, he said, and there is
plenty to do in his territory. He
has not received any checks for July
sales tax payments as yet, since he
unde'stands most of these are being
forwarded direct to Raleigh, although
he thinks that probably most mer
chants have not yet completed com
putation of their taxes for the first
month of the effectiveness of the sales
levy.
He is ready to assist the public in
any way possible in settlement of
taxes due the State, he said.

BORDER BELT MAY
OPEN ON lUESDAY
•
Rumor Here Is Buyers Being
Notified To Report for
Duty There
D was reported here today that a!
Hencif”.son buyer fcr one of the lar- •
gejt of the tobacco companies had i
been* advised by telephone by his sup- ;
ervisor to report for duty on one of;
the border markets in the South Car-i
olina tobacco belt next Tuesday morn- ;
ing. August 8. Whether this meant I
that the manufacturers would be pre
pared for the opning of the belt on
that date was not learned.
Warehousemen, growers and Stat.ee I
officials in South Carolina have ap- ■
pealed three times unsuccessfully to;
the sales connnitte. of.the Tobacco 1
Association of the United States for'
an earlier opening than August 15,
the- date set at the recent convention I
cf th? association at Virginia Beach, I
wh n the opening dates were set fori
all markets. The third refusal to
grant the advance in the opening
date was announced only yesterday.
If the South Carolina belt .which,
includes a number of markets on the I
North Carolina side of th? line, starts!
on next Tuesday, it will amount to an j
advance of one week from the date;
fix< d originally.
In the announcement on Wednes- |
day of the refusal for the earlier I
opening, the tobacco interests took the j
position that there was now two lit- I
tie time to make the advance as re-j
oucsted.
The Georgia belt, first to start its j
1933 sales as usual, opened last Tues- 1
day, with prices somewhat higher j
than at the opening a year ago. but
with some dissatisfaction reported in
one or two market towns. This is
said to have abated, however, when
prices were higher on the second
day’s sales Wednesday.
MAN GROWS HUGE

street, today was exhibiting a huge
Ponderosa tomato, grown in his gar
den. He said the tomato tipped the
scales at two pounds, three ounces. |
He stated that he had a fine crop of '
them in his garden and that the plant
from which he took the one he was
showing today has several ’more large
one son it.
This was the largest otmato seen at

Sales Tax Coming
from Page one.)
lard L. Dowell, of th e North Caro
lina Merchants Association, who did
rr n astonishing job of fighting thcis tax
when it was up for enactment by tthe
1933 General Assembly, always has
a'rgued that once passed the sales tax
stays on the books beeaiuse “big bus
iness will mot let it be repealed.” But
enough of lit l lie business sometimes
can do the job. 1
The collectiions have not as yet re
flected ainy of the revenue raised by
this tax, but th e money soon will be
coming in. Everybody's guess Jo
that more is going to be raised than
was estimated by the very careftft fi
nance committees of the 1933 Gene
ral Assembly. j ;

SAFETY
In the trearf
• The safest tread is the one that
can stop your car the quickest.
Goodyears stop uuicker than any
I other tire. 10% quicker than the
second best. Up 77% quicker
than others. Tests on wet pave
ments prove it. Why nut buy the
safest tire?
MORE SAFETY
in the piles
• Goodyears give you safety in
every ply—because every ply is
built with patented Supertwist
cord—and every ply runs from
bead to bead. Ask to see a Super
twist demonstration and eee for
yourself why it means more safe
ty in every ply.
MORE MILEAGE
S Bus fleets know mileage. And
I bus fleets using Goodyear Tires
y Jlj Ky > I report 97% more mileage than
! I they got five years ago. Goodyears
for your car have the same im-
T I provements that made this extra
J • I mileage possible.
