Representative Norris Sheppard, Of
Texas, one of the militant young mem
bers Of the minority, is preparing to in
troduce a bin providing for an income tax
on the first day Of Congress. He under
stands that the President will refer to
the subject in the forthcoming message,
and wishes TO get a bill before Congress
at the earliest moment The bill he VIII
introduce viii be the same. in Oh impor-
tant details, as the law which the Su-
preme Court declarSd unconstitutional,
The bill on which that law was based
was introduced in the Fifty-thiTd Con-
gress by Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee
Subsequent to the time the Supreme Court
handed down its decision bills pTovidine
for an income tax were introduced by
Messrs Sayers. OF Texas; Kelly, Of
South Dakota; Barlow. of California, and
Underwood. Of Alabama. Naturally, none
Of them made any progress. Several sim
liar bills will be introduced at the short
session II, as expected, the President rec
0mmends the tax in his message.

The members of the New Century
Club celebrated the anniversary of the
birth of George Washington by an open
meeting at the home of Mrs. W. A..
Boone last Thursday evening, at which
their husbands were permitted to be
present. The house was decorated
with flags and bunting, and pretty hand
painted place cards, hatchets for the
gentleman and flags for the ladies were
used at the dining table, which was
decorated with cherries. A delicious
dinner was served, each guest being re-
quired to read question OF historical
interest which was written on the back
OF their place cards, Mrs. S. w. Hurst
being awarded the prize for correctly
answering the largest number. The
evening was spent with games of
various kinds, and the guests departed
at very late hour voting the evening
a most delightful one.

Washingtons birthday was observed
at both the Leon school buildings last
Friday afternoon with appropriate ex-
,,ercises by the scholars. At both build
ings there were a large number Of the
patrons Of the schools present and they
enjoyed the exercises greatly, the
scholars all acquitting themselves with
credit to themselves and teachers.
The new whistle purchased by the
fire department for use in giving fire
alarms was put on the electric light
plant Sunday, and it has been tried
each evening, but so far the results
have not been satisfactory, the whistle
evidently not being properly adjusted,
as it can not be heard any better than
the old one. 1t is big whistle and
should give an alarm which could be
heard for several miles.
While assisting w. Fl. Howard of this
city in building residence for Joseph
Hamilton on his farm near Kingston last
Thursday, John Gardner, a young man
about twenty years old, residing at
Decatur City, met with serious acct
dent. He was at work on the root when
he made a misstep and fell to the
ground. distance of nearly twenty
feet, breaking both bones Of his left leg
just above the ankle. The accident
will conffne him to his room for some
time.

MERCHANTS, SUCCESSFUL SEASON

hUR local merchants unite in declaring that
the Christmas season just closed has been
the most prosperous one in years so far as trade
is concerned. In the volume OF business done
perhaps it has never been surpassed in the his
tory OF the city Certainly the merchants have
cause for thankfulness The people OF the city
have been busily employed during the year and
the Christmas season more and more as the years
roll around is becoming pre-emincntly one for
more numerous and larger purchases. The gilt
habit enlarges and increases. Even if people have
not the means they so to extraordinary sacrifices
to get into the spirit and harmony OF the occa-
sion, and the tradesmen feel the effects The To-
cal stores this year have had better and larger
stocks and there have been we believe more pur-
chases at home than ever before. Indeed, every
thing considered. the Wilmington merchants have
made determined and successful fight for the
holiday trade against the fierce competition Of
the Philadelphia merchants. And the best thing
about it is that the prospects for the coming year
in this city are that good times will continue.
We may even have the added advantage OF the
operation Of the Diamond State Steel Company,
which viii give employment to more than
thousand men.
The Wilmington merchants have done more
advertising than ever before. THE JOURNAL.
has had a large share OF it, We would like TO
see every advertiser in the city ENJOY the col
uu'n- Of this paper and reap the benefits OF it's
circulation among the BUYERS here The ,cs.
monies that we published Saturday from leading
merchants as to the value Of our advertising coli
umns was most eloquent and convincing, and
points the way to increasing business to all mer-
chants.
So far as its business relations with the mer-
chants are concerned THE JOURNAL will en-
ter the new year confident that we shall be in
better position than ever to bring handsome re-
turns for our advertisers. and we trust that they
will take advantage OF the opportunities that are
offered

was reariy noon when both tracks were
dcpaired and trains were running regu-
larry. While the debris was being rc-
moved trains were run over the Baltimore
