Henderson Daily Dispatch
New Statutes Affecting
Vance County Outlined
Compilation Made by Institute of Government as Part
of Services It Is Giving to Counties of State; Liquor
Stores Best Known Enactment
New laws enacted by the 1935 Gen
eral Assembly and affecting Vance
county are summarized in an article
furnished to the Daily Dispatch for
publication by the Institute of Gov
ernment.. It is part of the service be
ing furnished to all counties in the
State byway of enumerating local
legislation concerning them as passed
by the recent legislature.
The summary, which lists the liquor
stores law as perhaps the best known
of all the local acts, was prepared by
Henry Brandis, Jr., Dillard S. Gard.
ner and T. N. Grice, of the Institute
of Government staff. The article fol
lows:
Continuing a practice inaugurated
in 1933 The Institute of Government
presents herewith, for the convenience
of local officials and the press, a sum
mary of the local laws affecting
Vance County, its cities, subdivisions
and citizens. Os course, many general
laws also affect the County, but space
does not permit them to be summar
ized here. A summary of these gen
eral. state-wide laws will be found in
the May-June issue of Popular Gov
ernment. The Institute’s magazine. In
this summary for the County, only lo
cal lwas, and general laws from which
the County or some part of it is spe
cifically excepted, are mentioned. No
attempt is made to cover bills which
were introduced but never became
law.
1. Laws Affecting Taxes, Finances
and Related Matters.
Probably the best known of all lo
cal laws applying to Vance County
is Chapter 493, Public Laws, which
authorizes Vance and a number of
other counties to vote themselves
from under the Turlington Act and
into the liquor business As everyone
knows, the validity of this law is un
der fire, and the matter will probably
not be finally determined for some
months. For this reason, and because
of the publicity which has been given
the details of the law, no attempt will
be made here to give an adequate
summary. Its principal provisions are
concerned with the election and (as
suming the election carries) with the
establishment of the public-owned
stores, the management thereof ajjd
the manner in which the profits are
to be distributed.
Chapter 64. Public Laws, authorizes
cities and towns, and Chapter 65, Pub
lic Laws, authorizes counties, to con
tract, for periods not exceeding thirty
years, with any private or public hos
pital. within or without the unit, to
provide for medical treatment anu
hospitalization of the sick and af
flicted poor of the unit, provided the
contract does not call for payment of
more than SIO,OOO annually by any
unit. Vance and the municipalities
therein were exempted from the pro
visions of both these laws.
Chapter 75, Public Laws, deals with
the time for foreclosure of 1932 taxes.
It provides that suits for foreclosure
of tax sale certificates issued for 1932
taxes may be brought at any time be
fore December 1, 1935. This extends
the time during which such fore
closures may be brought by about six
months at the maximum. The Chap
ter also applies to suits brought on
the tax receipts without sale of a
certificate, and this part of the Chap
ter may possibly operate to shorten
the time, within which such suits may
be brought, though probably such
suits may still be brought after De
cember Ist. However, the Chapter
does not apply to Vance County or
any municipalities therein untill ap
proved by the respective governing
bodies of the county, cities or towns.
11. Laws Affecting County Offices
Chapter 82, Public Local Laws, per
mit the County Commissioners to re
lieve the Sheriff of tax collection
duties, and to appoint a Tax Collec
tor or designate some other county
official to act as collector of taxes,
with authority in this connection to
combine this office with any other
elective or appointive office. The ap,
pointment to such office would be ef
fective July 1, 1935. The Commission
ers will fixe the Collector’s salary and
have complete control of his office, in
cluding the power to remove the Col
lector without notice. The Collector
must furnish bond now required of
the Sheriff to cover taxes and any
further bond required by the Com
missioners, the premium on such bond
to be paid by the County.
Chapter 362, Public Laws, provides
that, beginning with the terms of
those elected in the general election
of 1936, Register of Deeds shall serve
for a term of four years, instead of
for a term of two years as hereto
fore This Chapter was revived after
having once been tabled, but before it
was finally enacted Vance and twen
ty-eight other counties were excepted
from its provisions.
Chapter 156. Public Local Laws, au
thorizes the Clerk of the: Superior
Court to employ a deputy or assistant
Clerk, the salary of such appointee
not to exceed SI2OO.
Chapter 345 and Chapter 346 Pub
lic Laws, are companion acts. The
first provides that whenever a Clerk
of the Superior Court is ex-officio
Clerk of the Recorder’s or General
County Court, any assistant or deputy
in his office may under the Clerk’s
direction perform administrative dut
ies in connection with said inferior
court. The latter provides that instead
of the Clerk acting for the Record
er’s or General County Court, the
County Commissioners may direct
Him to appoint a special deputy to
take over these duties, and fix the
bond and salary of such deputy.
Vance County and various other
counties were exempted from the pro
visions of both these acts.
Chapter 379. Public Laws, started
cut to prescribe au niform state-wide
schedula of fees to be charged for
certain services of the Clerks office.
It ended by prescribing a few such
fees Tor slightly less than one-half
of the State as, before its final pas
sage, Vance and fifty-one other coun
ties were excepted from its provis
ions. In these excepted counties all
fees charged by the Clerk remain as
fixed by other general or local laws.
Chapter 457, Public Laws, prohibits
any person, firm, private or muni
cipal corporation, under penalty of
fine from $lO to SSO, from placing or
causing to be placed, temporarily oi
permanently any trash, refuse, scrap
ped automobiles, trucks or parts
thereof within one hundred fifty
yards of a hard-surfaced highway out
side of an incorporated town, unless
such trash, etc., is concealed by some
obstruction from the view of persons
on such highways. Vance County and
some forty-two other counties were
exempted from the provisions of this
act. so that in these counties the dis
position of trash and garbage is con.
trolled by other general or local laws
relative to the subject.
Chapter 295, Public Laws, appoint
ed the following Justices of the Peace
for Vance County for two year terms:

LIVER BILE-
Without Calomel —And You’ll Jump Out of Bed ii
the Morning Rarin’ to Go
The liver should pour out two pounds of
liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile
Is not flowing 1 freely, your food doesn't digest.
It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up
jrour stomach. You get constipated. Your
whole system is poisoned and you feel sour,
sunk and the world looks punk.
Laxatives are only makeshifts. A mere
bowel movement doesn’t get at the cause. It
takes those good, old Carter’s Little Liver
Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing
freely and make you feel“up and up”. Harm
less, gentle, yet amazing in making bile flow
freely. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by
name. Stubbornly refuse anything else. 25c.
