That is strong appeal that Mr.. John
T. Roddey makes in another column;
and it is we'll backed up by incontroverti-
BILE facts which, it seems, ought to con-
vince. We agree with Mr.. Roddey in
practically all that he says; but at the
same time, we confess that we do not see
much room for encouragement. The
farmers in this section generally are will
ing, and most of them even anxious to
act. But alone they are not of much
more importance than the traditional
gnat on the bulls horn. IF planters else
where were made Of the same kind of
stuff, it would be easy sailing. But have
the planters generally enough intelligence
to be aroused? That is the interesting
question.

THE INCOME. TAX.

People who have incomes Of more than
$500, will have to pay taxes on them
next year, and the comptroller general is
endeavoring to prepare a suitable blank
upon which they may make their returns.
He is trying to avoid anything inquisi-
torial, and although he has not definitely
settled on the form Of blank, his work
now stands about as follows: n
Amount of income from all resources
mot including interest on securities and
bonds exempt from taxation) s..
Necessary expenses actually incurred
in conducting the business, occupation or
profession, not including remuneration TO
The taxpayers for personal supervision, or
the support and maintainance of his or
her family s.

that is to be required of every, man affect

turn; penalties are provided for false

to officers of the Indiana militia, a
few days ago, General Lew Wallace
made prediction of war, which, it is
reported, "partly startled" his audi
tors. He said in part: ~ believe the
future holds for you opportunities upon
the field where every man, ambitious
to show courage and win glory for his
country's sake, may have his ambition
satisfied. I am not a prophet nor a
son of prophet; but I venture the
prediction, and call you to witness it,
that the next war we have will be with
the japanese. In my candid opinion,
in the course Of not great many
years, the japanese will have to have
somebody to thrash them, and we are
the people to do it," There will not
be much "glory" or "satisfed ambi-
tion" in tbrashing little country like
Japan. Why not get up brush with
Spain or Germany OF somebody of our
size? 1t is safer, of course, to bully
Chill and Hawaii and Japan, but it
does not "show" much "ccurage."
- The department of state has un-
dertaken an investigation of two very
disagreeable incidents that may con-
tain in themselves the germs of serious
trouble in the near future. These are
the killing by japanese of two sailors
attached to the United States fleet on
the Asiatic station. The exact condi-

deliberate breaking of light:globes

They were under the influence of

A Costly crowbait.

Horses are fast getting to be
like debts-you can't give them
away nor lose them. Mr.. Gains,
who lives two miles west .of Cor
wallis, has freshly realized the
hoodoo that has been placed upon
the equine family.
A horse of his that has seen
better days wandered into town
and was impounded by Chief of
Police Wells. Mr.. Gaines was
notified, but failed TO redeem the
animal. He considered it extrava-
giant to pay 25 cents for a horse
not worth "a nickel. He was will:
ing that the city should assume all
the responsibility of ownership.
But the city had Hour ace hand
slowed away.
We ,ne>day the Chief aud Mr..
Gaines met, and. after a lively
discussion, Introducing demands
and refusals and emphatic words
found in the Bible, the chief
Z threatened MIR. Gains with arrest.
Later he swpre out warrant
charging Mr.. g. with violation OF
an ordinance against allowing an
imal> TO rG,, at large in the city.
Mr.. Gaines appeared before Judge
Porter, and pleading guilty, paid a
fine of IS. He refused, however,
to pay the pound charges, so the
chief paid The charges and Mr..
Gaines took the horse home.
Asnice little question arises as
to whether the law really could
operate against an outsider whose
strayed into the city, but
it is doubtless cheaper tozpay the
fine. than to fight the law. !
