Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	9. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense of $930,000 for the fiscal 2014 second quarter compared to $868,000 for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2014 and 2013 second quarters were 35.5% and 37.1%, respectively. During the fiscal 2014 second quarter, the State of North Carolina passed legislation reducing their state corporate income tax rate. As a result, we reduced our effective deferred state tax rate from 3.7% to 3.1%. In the 2013 fiscal second quarter, we reduced our federal deferred tax rate from 35% to 34%. The net impact of these two rate adjustments and the lower current state income tax rate reduced our effective tax rate by 3.3 percentage points from fiscal 2013 to fiscal 2014. This benefit, and larger permanent benefits related to our former captive insurance arrangement (a 1.1 percentage point decrease) were partially offset by a smaller permanent benefit from Company-owned life insurance contracts (a 3.5 percentage point increase).

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
