WILKEsBoRo, Jan. S-Last Friday
night a number of the citizens Of
Wilkesboro met in the Masonic and
Odd Fellows Hall and held an in
formal meeting to devise plans for
the moral and intellectual improve
ment OF the citizens of Wilkesboro.
M l. Mott, Esq, made an interesting
and pointed speech naming the evils
to which We are exposed and Offering
solution of the problem. Marsh"

he's reforming since he came to
Wilkes. Other citizens addre ssed the
meeting, making appropriate re-
marks. A society was organized
(Which has not been named at pres
ent) with Rev Milton Mcneil Presi-
dent; DIR John W White vice-presi-
dent; DR. M Turner treasurer, and
DR. Berry secretary. Different COM
mittees were appointed. A subscrip-
ton OF $50 was raised for the benefit
of the society. The club will do much
good here it the people will take hold
OF it as they should.

some of which are of great vIoleI.ce.

So serious is the danger from these

FOR THE TAX.

We quote the following exprsssions
of opinion in regard to the proposed
income tax. 1t is by an eminent
lawyer, in fact, he has one of the
ablest legal minds in the country.
Mr.. James c. Carter, of New York.
he says: 81 doubt not the proposed
income tax would be very good
thing. Surely the rich ought to con-
tribute their share towards the sup
port OF the Gov eminent. Some think
the rich ought to be punished for
being rich. The argument that the
proposed law would be evaded and
would create liars and perjurers is
one that could be 40 vanced against
many of our existing statutes. There
will be evaders and violators of the
law, l presume, for all time, but it
cannot be argued from this that
will he comparatively easy to enforce
the proposed law SO far as corpora
tions are concerned. These concerns
, are required to furnish statements
from time to time as to their earn
ings and expenditures, SO it is with
little difficulty that the tax upoI
them is levied justly. Of course, i
the possessor of large individual
wealth chooses to be secretive, ii
would be hard to ascertain definitely
Just what his income is 1 am sorl J
to say there are wealthy people who
are not above deception, and some
are thoroughly INSCRIPTIONS. At
the same time l do not think an in.
come tax would prove unjust. The
rich certainly should bear their share
of the burdens OF the Government
and an evasion of this ought to be
punished with adequate penalties

INCOME TAX.

This is still subject OF discussion
in the newspapers. A number of
Governors of States have been inter-
viewed, Gov. Carr among them. He
believes the people of this State to be
almost unanimous in favor OF such
tax without regard to political
parties. II favor going as low as
possible on the amount of income to
be taxed, going as near as may be
to the amount necessary for support,

annum. No statement is more true
than that people who own the most
property are not only best able to
pay taxes, but have more at stake.

this practical suggestion: That thy

foreign missions for a year or SO and
contribute $1,000 apiece to build
