Back Revenue Taxes.
Columbia special to the Greenville
News: The internal revenue depart
ment has come down on the Richland
Cotton mill store and wants to collect
$1,000 from it for back revenue taxes
on slips, which it claims were checks
and should have been stamped. The
slips read: "Richland Cotton Mills ::
PAY to Richland Cotton Mill store and
charge to my account, so much mon
ey." The items were small. The
store sent in the bill to the mill and
received the money on the slips, which
the government says were checks and
were never sent in to the mill. The
case will be presented to the revenue
department by w. H. Lyles, counsel.
