cradles and keeping flies from the
little sleepers.

and the teachers, Miss Yancey
and Mrs. Priest, will have the
satisfaction of knowing that dur
ing the past eight months they
did faithful work, and that their
success has been greatly apprc-

TAX ON BASEBALL GAMES.
Cranks and hooters Must Bear Their
Just Proportion of the Burden.

Another mistake--or shall we say
oversight. it must have been one or the
other-is in section 10. 1t reads, in part,
as follows:
.'On all companies or persons whatever
who exhibit or give entertainment for
amusement of the public, for reward or
otherwise than is mentioned III the i've
preceding sections, five dollars for each
exhibition or performance.
The State Treasurer rules that dis
applies to all baseball games: that all
games, to which an admission fee is
charged. are subject to State tax OF
So for each game, under this section.
If no admission fee is charged, of course
such games are not subjects of taxation.
This ruling is made in response to
INQUIRIES from sheriffs and tax collectors.
Writing to one of these yesterday
Treasurer Worth said:
I'm reply to your communication of
the 10Th instant ! will say that under
section Is of the Revenue Act of 1893.
it would seem that baseball games, en-
trance to which must be secured by an
admission fee. are liable to the taxes
therein mentioned, regardless of the
purpose for which the admission fee Is

All of which leads the muse of the
Asheville Citizen to mount his Pegasus
and gallop off thus-wise:
