TO SAVE PENALTY OF LAW
The Corporations Should Promptly
Make Their Returns Under the
U. S. Tax Law.

Raleigh,-The matter of the Unit
ed States corporation tax law is one
that should be considered by all bus
mess corporations. and prompt re-
ports should DE made so as to avoid
the penalty imposed for delay in max
ing reports as required by the law.
1t is a law which should be taken
seriously by all corporations desiring
to avoid trouble.
Business concerns cooperating un-
der articles or acts of interpretations
should recognize the fact that returns
are required from all corporations or
ganized for profit and having capt.
tai stock represented by shares, and
all insurance companies, regardless
Of the volume of their business or
whether operated at profit or loss,
and, in fact, whether in active opera
ton at ALL that these returns must
cover the entire calendarA year and
must be filed on or before March list.
Those failing to observe this time
limit are subject to pay a fifty per
cent penalty on the amount found
to be due, and in addition to this are
liable to a penalty of from one thou
sand to ten thousand dollars, the lat
ter penalty applying to those whose
net receipts are less than five thou
sand dollars as well as to those who
are found to be label to tax. A com
mon error has been to suppose that
concerns making no profits, or max
ing less than five thousand dollars,
are not required to make returns, and
this error has cost many concerns
dearly. 1t is estimated that there
were twenty-five thousand delinquents
in the country at large in the year
1911. All these incurred the penalty
of from one thousand TO ten thousand
dollars, and those whose profits ex-
ceeded five thousand dollars were re-
Quired to pay penalty of fifty per
cent on the amount Of tax found to
be due.

THE MOVEMENT FOR SUPER.
VISOR OF AGRICULTURE IN
UNION COUNTY.
Mr.. HUDSON DEVISED PLAN
Supervisor To Push Work Under
Same Methods Now Taken, But In
Addition Be At His Office Every
Saturday and Public Days.

Monroe.-Mr. C. R. Hudson, stal
agent of the farmers cooperative de.
monstration work. is urging the citi-
zens here to adopt plan he has de-
vised to further the development of
agriculture in Union county. For
three years Mr.. 4. J. w. Broom has
done much for the furthSrance of agri-
cultural pursuits in the county, but it
is the desire of Mr.. Hudson to inaug-
urate more progressive agriculture
in the county, as there is plenty of
room for improvement along this line.
His plan is to have county super
visor of agriculture, who would push
the work much under the methods
that is now taken, but in addition
would be at his Office at the court
house every Saturday and on public
meeting days to advise with farmers,
hand them out literature and look
after their interests in a general way.
He would also visit individual farm
ers in the county as they would call
for him. In other words, this office
would be established with the same
object in view with regard to agricul-
ture as the Office of county superin-
tendent of education in the county.
Mr.. Hudson offers to pay $500 an
nually, if the county, though its COM
missioners, will donate an equal
amount so as to obtain thes ervices
of some competent man, to work for
ten or more months each year. The

The death penalty for wife-murder

the death chair, when the signal was
given and the first shock of 1900

on again in quick succession The
physicians found that the heart was
still beating and there was a second

delivered to his brother as the rep
