An effort is to be made, during the
coming autumn, it is learned from Mr..
Streeter, of the ChiIdren's Home So
ciety of North Carolina, to effect the
organization of q State conference of
charities. Of course it is understood
that the call for this will emanate
from the State board of charities,
which will manifest interest in the
work. 1t is thought that during the
State fair will be a good tine for
holding such a conference. Mr. Street
er seems to be very confident that
the next Legislature will create for
North Carolina what is known as the
juvenile court system and with it the
probation system. What he has done
with his work so far has very clearly
shown tie value of the probation sys-
tenn. He has received los children
since his society was organized, not
quite two years ago., and all of these
have been placed in homes or in insti-
buttons which will probably train
them.
The corporation commissioners find
that the total of incomes as reported
to it is $2,693, 900, being an increase

have been reported by county com-
missioners for being liable for income
taxes who have failed to list. The
commissioner has served notice upon
these and has called upon them for
a report. Thirteen counties report
no increase. The following are the
counties which make the largest re-
turns of income taxes: Wake $780,
500, New Hanover 1886, 764, Mecklen-
burg $221,070, Guilford $19S,O16,
Durham $185,692, Forsyth $179,484,
Buncombe $168, 743, Wayne $65,922,
Cabarrus $63,736.
