COLLECT BACK TAXES
Auditorand TreasurerProbin
Liquor Purchase Tax.
Must Dispsnsaries Pay This Tax for 1902 D.
Corporation Commission Says They
are Not Liable,

The State Auditor has had printed a
number of copies of the opinion of the
Supreme Court in the case of Williams VS..
The County Commissioners of Iredeu in
which case in paying his purchase tax.
had deducted from the price of his liquor
$l10 per gallon which he claimed he
had advanced to the distiller to pay the
government tax, leaving the price only
15c. per gallon, and on this ridiculous
amount he had paid his tax.
The opinion in this case will be mailed
by the Auditor to every sheriff in the
State, and accompanying it Will be a let
ter signed by the State Auditor and the
State Treasurer, calling the attention of
the sheriffs to the matter, and directing
them, if the retailers in their counties
have been in the habit of paying their
purchase tax in any such way as this. to
go to work Immediately collecting back
taxes due the State.
The reason for sending out this letter
is that ii was stated in the argument of
the Williams case that it was the gen
eral custom of the liquor dealers to de-
duct the Government tax in making their
returns, and thus pay less than one
eighth of what their actual purchases
called for. The Auditor and Treasurer
are determined to probe this matter to
the bottom.
In this connection another very inter-
esting question has come up. 1t is wheth-
er or not dispensaries are compelled to
pay the purchase tax according to the
Revenue Law of 1901.
The Tarboro Dispensary raised the
question several days ago, and the Cor
poration Commission has advised Treas
urer Lacy that the Dispensary is not
liable to the purchase tax, as provided
Under Section SO, Revenue Act of 1901
nor under Section 73, Revenue Act of 1908
but that it is liable for an annual Ii
cense tax of per cent of the gross
receipts of such dispensary, as provided
in Section 65 of the Revenue Act of 1903
beginning from the ratification of that
act, March 9TH
Section SO of the Revenue Act of 1901
is as follows: Every person who shall
buy for the purpose of selling spirituous,
vinous or malt liquors, shall, in addi-
tion to the ad valorem tax on his stock
and the license tax levied in section 20
and Y, pay as a license tax per centum
on the total amount of his purchases in
or out of the State for cash or credit,
whether such person shall purchase as
principal or agent or through a commits
sion merchant. Every person mentioned
in this section shall, within ten days
after the first days of January and July
in each year, deliver to the clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners a sworn
statement of the total amount Of his
purchases for the preceding six months,
ending on the 90th day of June"

their nearness to Republcanism by de-

The Democratic party won a great vic

The Tragedy There Had Been
Carefully Investigated.
JUSTICE ALONE SOUGHT
Both Races Showed Commen liable Discreton---
But Now Comes an Inf immatory Ar
iicle by Negro in the lrue
Reformer"


Henderson. n. c., April 21.-There had
been so much idle talk about the deplor
able shooting that took place here some
two weeks ago, that the mayor called a
meeting of the town aldermen in order
that they might look fully into the mat
ter and see whether or not any blame
should be laid at the door of Policeman
Crockett. One witness. a negro boy
whom Crockett thinks was the one who
backed Bruce on the night of the shoot
ing has gone. another is at Weldon and
therefore there were none left to tell ex-
actly how it all happened. So the al
dermen, as best they could, weighed the
statements of the generous public and
the circumstances in the case and decided
to exonerate Crockett so far as their
blaming him as an officer. The mayor,
the aldermen as a body. the policemen,
Bnd the people have been very broad in
their vieN of the matter and at no time
have they feared riot or even bodily
harm TO Mr.. Daniels from the white peo-
pie or to Policeman Crockett from the
negroes.
The white people have been unusually
quiet, fearing no harm and feeling no
resentment toward the negro. In fact,
on the day after the shooting, a white
man got into a controversy with the
jailer's wife and negro man ran up
and shot at the white man and the town
Jailed the white man because they be-
lieved he deserved it, and did nothing to
the negro.
The negroes also appeared quiet and
even asked the police IL they might bring
the body OF Bruce here for burial. One
OF their prominent preachers gave them
most excellent advice in sermon on the
18th, after the burial of Bruce and all
law-abiding citizens hoped and believed
that all feeling had abated, or rather
that there had been but little feeling save
that of sorrow and regret. But today the
people are somewhat wrought up by the
article in the paper published in Little
ton by very clever negro. The paper
is called the True Reformer" and the
column article on the Henderson tragedy
is written and signed by NJ. J. Harris,
a Henderson negro, and closes as fol-
lows:
This was one of the most brutal af-
fairs ever Witnessed; two men shooting
only about 125 pounds. The action stirred
up much excitement and as one white
man and one colored man are dead-the
result OF the brutal attack-it should
give us satisfaction to know that the
colored man used his gun in the protec-
tion of himself and his rights, and that
he is as skillful in placing his bullets as
the white man. While we lament the loss
of the brave boy, Bruce We are glad to
know that he died for his rights, and
gallantly sent one of his assailants on
ahead of him."
The people, as yet, have taken no ac-
tion in the matter. and it is hoped that
deliberate determination will take the
place of idle threats and that all such,
who have so strong prejudice may be
asked to find shelter elsewhere. The
trouble seeker is one of the town alder
men.
