MASS MEETING TODAY
OF Tomato Girls and County
Fair Promoters.

AS we close our forms this morning
bevy of pretty tomato club girls
are gathering on the court house
green to witness and participate in
the canning demonstration work to
be conducted by Miss Edith Par
rott, State Tomato club organ
izer, and the local agent. Miss
Amanda Edwards. Everything is in
readiness for the work. Several
crates of fresh Florida tomatoes
and green beans are on hand ready
to be put through the necessary
process. Tables, cooking apparatus
and all other essential paraphernalia
are on the ground, ,and there's every
indication that the canning demon
stration work will be a successful
feature of the days programme.
The meeting of the tomato club
workers will be called to order in the
court house at II a. m. by Mr. R N
Speigner. Prayer will be offered by
Rev P S McChesney and addresses
will be made by Mr. Speigner. Miss
Edith L Parrott, and Prof CO Nevin,
of Clemson college.
Owing to the splendid rain yester-
day afternoon, which has brought

hour set for the mass meeting this
afternoon we hope to see many more.
The following programme has

Nature does her best to fight con-
stipation and its evil effects. She
fights to the last atom other strength,
but usually she has to have assist
ance.
To avoid the sluggish brain and
weakened body, the sick headache,
coated tongue and biliousness, it is

and no bad after-effects.
DR. Wv Brockington guarantees
it without condition and will refund

an absolutely safe, pleasant tasting
vegetable liquid and a wonderful
liver stimulant which takes the place
of calomel, but be sure you get Dod-

Mrs e E. McGill Dead.

News of the death of Mrs Emma
E McGill was received here yester-
day morning, causing sincere sad
ness and sorrow to the many rela-
tives and friends of this estimable
woman.
Mrs McGill was the youngest
daughter of Capt and Mrs John E
Scott, of Cedar Swamp. She was
born in 1871, and would have been
43 years old next August.
In 1890 she was happily married
to Mr. John Y McGill, who, with five
children, survives her. Besides her
immediate family she leaves to
mourn their loss, her mother, Mrs
Marian E Scott, three brothers and
one sister: Mrs j E Kennedy, DR. D
C Scott, Messrs Thomas M Scott and
Mr. N D Lesesne, all of whom now
reside in Kingstree. Not the least
of those who feel stricken with sor-
row by the death of this admirable
woman is the writer of these lines,
the editor of 'Che Record. We were
reared together and almost like that
of a sister are we affected by her
death
TO say that the deceased was be-
loved by every one in the commun-
ity where she lived her life of devo-
ton to the welfare of others would
be superfluous to those who knew
her best. Suffice it to say that all
the virtues aud graces that go to
adorn the ideal type of noble wom-
anhood were hers, and none knew
her but to love her, none named her
but to praise"
The funeral services and inter-
ment took place this morning in the
presence of a large concourse of
relatives and friends who gathered
there to pay the last sad tribute to
one whom they loved and who.
though she sleeps, will linger in their
memory as an exemplar of the high
est type of Southern womanhood.

with their corporations and individual
clients on the income tax.
People with small incomes have trav-
eled to New York and paid a lawyer
$40 TO make out an income tax blank
where the tax has been only 81 because
they were not sure Of the law and would
not have the village lawyer up home
spread the news OF their income around
town In village gossip.
Probably the most interesting though
silent protest against the income tax
and collection at the source has been
that of the man of great wealth who
was tired OF Government regulation.
He deposited his money and securi-
ties in the Swiss banks. which make a
special business OF French tax dodgers
accounts. Then he gave up his citizen
ship in this country and became a sub
ject of the Prince OF Monaco, where. as
he thankfully told his friends. They
have no taxes at all"

Tying the returns and getting them in
shape TO check over and examine for
mistakes or frauds. 1t 10 a Herculean
task and II is thought that the Govern
ment will not attempt to follow II out
in anything but the toughest way this
year.
1t has been estimated that there are
400 900 taxpayers under the law. But
the number OF people who have had to
make out certificates for ownership OF
bonds, though exempt from the tax, II
is estimated, will bring the total num-
Der who have had to make some sort
Of return in connection with the tax to
! 900, 900 to 1000 900 and possibly more.
Even under tire present work OF the
Department there have been frequent
evidences OF lack OF coordination be-
tween the various branches OF the SER
vice. Lawyers and others In New York
have been informed OF decisions and
new regulations by the Department at
Washington several days before the
New York office has been informed.
The anomalies OF the law are end
less and the Department has found II
impossible to clear them away. Here ID
one of the latest as described by q
lawyer:
THE Department in its ruling on ALI
mony recently given In a private ruling
has set itself directly a. an ENCOURAGE
Of public morality and against divorce
1t has ruled practically that alimony ID
doubly taxable, though the intent Of the
law Is clearly against double taxation
IN the cases Of individuals. 1t has ruled
that the woman who receives slimony
must make return for II a. income. On
the other hand. the man who pays ali.
mony Is not permitted to deduct the
payment from his gross income to &c,
his taxable income"
And yet the Department apparently
discourages the happy living together
by a man and his wife In the rulina
that when they are living apart each
may deduct $4,000 as exemption, bu,
when living together only $4,000 In tota
may be exempted.
Lawyers have been extremely bus,

TELEPHONE TRAFFIC AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

TELEPHONE central stations are
always busy. There Is never q
minute in the twentyfour hours
that the complicated telephone system
comes to rest. New York never sleeps,
and the switch boards present much
interesting evidence OF the fact.
1t might be supposed that in the small
hours Of the morning. say from 2 to
o'clock. the telephone receivers would
be permitted to hang undisturbed. but
the statistics show that thousands OF
customers are accommodated every
night during this period. The night
life of New York is OF course continu-
Gus, and the city is buster in the early
morning hours than are macy small
towns throughout the day.
The heaviest traffic in the early
morning hours occurs. as might be ex-
pected, in the general region served ny

Collector Anderson opened school
for the training OF his stan early in
1913, before the last State had ratified
the income tax amendment to the Con-
stitution. He studied income tax him
self at the Public Library and trained
his own helpers in the school. They have
shown the results Of the training.
He estimated last week that 10000
people day were then coming TO the

poration returns, the number Of ihdivid-
ual returns nled daily at the Custom
House. 1t is estimated. have been be-
tween 1000 and 1000 in the last week.
At the Third District office the daily
average of individual returns for the
