MANY BUDGET ITEMS
ARE ALSO BOOSTED

Service Rises About 40
Percent in Estimates On
Slate Already Set Up
A sharp increase in the tax rate
for county purposes other than
schools, which has not been learned
exactly as yst. looms in the budget
estimate for the county as made pub
lic today by G. W. Adams, county
accountant. His estimate wa3 for a
levy of 56 ceut3. as compared with
40 cents last year, exclusive of school
requirements.
Mr. Adams made it rle» that the
40-cent tale last year was on the basis
of a property valuation of $17,500,000,
whereas the estimate for the new year
is ba=ed on a property valuation of
only $16,000 000. and there was grave
doubt whether or not the total would
even that much, in which event the
rate as finally adopted may be even
above his SG-cent estimate.
The item for county debt service,
exclusive of schools, calls for total
budget requirements of $41,317.87, with
revenue available from other sources
than tan levy of $4,185, and a total
•levy for $39,681.80 after allowing for
shrinkage in uncollected taxes, of $2,-
548 03 for that item. The rate for debt!
(service is placed at 25 cents as com- j
pared with IK cents last year.
The general county fund remains at
15 cents, the same as last year, with
total budget requirements of $32,381.-
72 and an estimated revenue of $lO,-
425 from other sources, requiring a
tax levy of $21,956.72, plus $2,042.12 for
uncollected taxes, cr a total of 23 998.-
84 to be raised by taxes.
In the poor fund, the estimated tax
levy is 12 cents, or considerably more
th3n double the five cents levy last
year. The total budget requirements
arc given as $17,6634.70, of which S3BO
is exoected from other sources than
taxes. With $954.14 added for uncol
lected taxe3, the total levy for this

The health fund levy Is raised from
two cents last year to four cents this
year, and calls for $6,500 as total bud
get requirements, and only SSO in pros
pect from other than tax sources, leav
ing $6,450 to be raised by taxes, and
with $359.38 allowance for uncollected
taxes, the total sum to be raised from
tax sources is placed at $6,809.38.
The total budget requirements for
all these purposes is $97,834.29. It is
estimated $15,040 can be had from
other than tax sources, but that $5,-
904.57 will be needed to offset uncol
lected taxes, giving a grand total of
I $88,698.86 that must be raised by taxa
tion.
The special levy in Townsville town
ship for Townsville railroad bonds will
be, according to the estimate, $1.73
this year, as compared with $1.42 last
year. This is ovsr and above the coun
ty and school levies. Total budget re
quirements for that item, all of which
is raised from levies in Townsville
township, are put at $7,423.75. No re
venue is anticipated from other than
tax sources, and an allowance is made
of S3OO as uncollected taxes, making
a total of $7,723.75 for which taxes
rhust be levied extra in that township.
One reason for the rate boost there is
that the property valuation has been
cut from around $500,000 to an esti
mated figure of $450,000 this year The
total has not been added, and may be
something more or something less
than (hat figure.
The school budget has not yet been
completed to be laid before the com
missioners, so far as known.

South Henderson
Revival Drawing
Good Crowds Daily
(Reported to the Daily Dispatch.)
There was a noticeable increase in
attendance and in interest at the
South Henderson Baptist revival last
night. The visiting minister. Rev. D
E. Earnhardt, preached on the subject,
“A father looking for his kidnaped
children.” He said in part:
“Ther? can be no sense of rest in
the father heart while a con
sciousness of separation between him
and his children. Separated by miles
does not hurt if there is no separa
‘icn in quality of character. The worst
punishment of hell will be the sensQ or
loss that, is suffered by a soul hope
lessly separated from the parent
h art. A father who feels this absence
of his children, thi sunnatural estran
gement, is consciously or unconscious
ly, looking and feeling and listening
in attempt to reestablish natural rela
tionship.
“A sense of guilt will drive a son
from his father and he will hide.
Adam said ‘I felt that I was naked
before Thee.’ He felt that way be
cause he had tasted the fruit of ex
perimental knowledge of evil. He hid
himself among the trees of the gar
den. Men still hide for the same rea
son. They hide behind church hypo
crites, they hid? behind flimsy ex
cuses, they hide behind professed in
abilities and disabilities. They run like
rabbits because their guilty conscience
reduces them to a rabbit state of be
ing. They may have physical courage
but morally they are consumate cow
ards. They are afraid of pure wo
men, they fear preachers of the gos
pel, they canno r stand the hymns of
holyholy gladness, they are afraid of a
ipraying saint, and they flee from tins
idea of the judgment and the sight
of the ghastly face of death drives
them into nervous disorder. They
boast, that they are open -fn the sin
and yet are hiding out from God and
bis agencies.”

Damage Done To Crops
B| Rain And High Wind
During The INight Here
Tobapco In Places Reported Blown Over, and Corn
Suffers Considerably; Streets In Henderson Litter.
' ed With Leaves and Limbs from Many Trees
Considerable damage to crops, and
especially tobacco, was feared in this
county and section today as the re
sult of the high winds and heavy
rains of last night and today. Other
crops, including corn, which was bad
ly blown down in many places, were
also expected to suffer as the result
of the storm, which was the outer
fi‘ing/33 of the tropical disturbance
that struck the North Carolina coast
late Tuesday.
All over town uxitty streets and
sidewalks were littered with leaves and
small branches of trees that had been
blown off. There was no reported dam
age to property other than this and
no injuries to persons.
Little had been learned from the
rural sections as to the results of the
windstorm, but there were grave fears
of considerable damage. Hardly more
than naif of the tobacco crop, if even
that in some sections, has been har
vested here, and for that, reason great
est fears are felt for damage there.
One grower said here today that he
had not noted great damage in his
community, but some who had been
along the highway said ,t£>at tobacco
had been badly blown down in open!
fields, though that close to, wooded]
areas appeared to have been some- i
what protected from the full'force of
the winds. _
The effects of the storm began to be
felt here early Tuesday evening, and
the intensity of the wind increased
during the night. While there was
plenty of wind early this afternoon,
it appeared there was an abtement
from the peak of the s'orm, and the i
weather forecast was for moderation
late in the day and tonight and for
fair weather Thursday.
The full extent of the damage from
the storm is not expected to be realiz
ed or learned here before tomorrow,

fined their sitting today in revaluing

They found the ta.sk a continuing dif

The white list has ben ntirly com

been gone over also. The attention of

Indications are that some rather
sharp cuts have been made in values,
