DR.. HenderSOa's Farewell Service.

The splendid audience which
gathered at the Presh ,terian church
last Sunday evening. In a down pour
of rain was an indicsti,on of the very
high esteem 10 whicbIDr. and Mrs.
W. K. Henderson are held by the
people of Greenvllle. Since this
was to be DR.. Henderson's last ser
wise in our city, all the other church
es dismissed their services to attend
this closing service of a retiring
pastor. If the weather had been
favorable, doubtless every avtilable
seat would have been taken.
The other ministers were invited
to occupy seats in the pulpit and
participate in the devotional cNer-

Gen. 5000, which was greatly en-
joyed by all present.
At the close of the sermon, Rev.
G. p. Dillon, pastor of the Method
ist church and Rev. r. II. Tandy,
pastor of the Blpiisi church, spoke

scholarly, scriptural and spiritual
sermons have been greatly appre-

them, while the work of his church
has been in prosperous condition.

seem to have taken a hint from General
Joffre and Lord Kitchener as they i'm
patiently declined to make any state
Elent of any consequence relative TO
the operations in France.
In connection with the inspection
here 1t is stated that the horses will
be shipped to France by way of Mo-
bile. The French government has Sc
cured the steamship Cratheus. which
is awaiting the arrival of some of the
horses in Mobile. The former ship
ments have been through the port Of
Galveston. The ship to be used v as Cor
sometime a Norwegian cattle boat and
needs little Encouragement to carry
the horses safely across the Atlantic.
1t is stated that arrangements have
been made to send the horses over the
Southern railway to Mobile and to load
them on the Cratheus at pier 6.
The experts that are here for France
have said according to reports yester-
day. that the life of horse or mule
in the allied armies Is As hours on the
average From this 1t will be seen that
there will be terrific drain on the
resources of neutral powers to Keep

If Unable to Get Stamps
Must Keep Account of
Sales and Shipments
CANCELLATIONS
TO BE MADE LATER
Railroads May Accept Shipments
without Stamp-M'Neel Working
Big Force in Effort TO Get
War Stamps Distributed

"If impossible to furnish stamps, rec
ord of shipment may be kept and assess
ment made accordingly. Robert Williams,
acting commissioner of internal reve-
nue." The above Telegram was received
yesterday by John H. McNeel, collector
of internal revenue. from the department
at Washington, in response to an inquiry
as to railroad shipments Mr. Mcneil
was informed that some of the railroad
companies had refused to receive ship
ments unless the bill of lading was
stamped. In a great many instances the
shipper has made application for the war
tax stamps but has not received them.
Under the above instructions all railroads
are empowered to receive the shipments
and the tax assessment or stamp can
cellations will be made later.
The same rule applies to the dealers in
cosmetics and chewing gum. The dealers
are required to stamp all sales. but in the
event that they have been unable to Sc
cure stamps they are required to make a
record of all sales and the stamp cancel
lation will be made later. There is a
heavy penalty for the failure to observe
the requirements of the war tax act and
all dealers are warned to record all sales
or use the stamps.
There is penalty of so per cent of the
amount of the special taxes for failure
to pay by the last of the month. This
does not apply to the stamp tax, but on
the business enumerated as being liable
to special tax, to-wit: brokers. pawn.
brokers, proprietors of theatres, muse
ums, or concert halls, circuses, public ex-
hibitions. bowling alleys, or billiard la
| bles, commission merchantss dealers IL
| leaf tobacco. manufacturers of tobacco
| manufacturers of cigars, manufacturers
OF cigarettes.
| On account of the large number of ap'
| plications for stamps received by the col
lector's office, it has been impossible fol
all orders to be filed at once. The stamp.
will be issued at the very earliest oppor
tunity. In regard to shipments, the con
signors will have to keep record o
their shipments and later assessments will
| be made against them.
| Thousands of letters have been received
| by the collector containing application fo
stamps and many of them requiring al
of the varieties. Every sale has to b.
| recorded in detailed form. A large fore
of clerks is busy filing the applications Ii
the order received.
