A GOOD FARM.

Mr.. R. H. Bronaugh, of Crab Or
chard, is offering in this issue of the
Record, his fine farm situated near
Grab Orchard. This is the most pro-
ductive farm in that section aad if we
mistake not, the best crop of tobacco
sold over the Danville breaks in 1912
was produced on this farm. Any one
desiring such place would do well to
communicate with Mr. Bronaugh.

INCOMES AND LIQUOR
TO CARRY WAR TAX

Treasury Department experts are fig
uring today on the amount Of revenue
which can be turned into the Treasury
from the bill as tentatively agreed upon by
the democrats of the committee late
yesterday. The principal items in the
bill are an extension Of the income tax
down to a minimum of $1,000 salaries
an extra 50 cents a barrel on beer, 90
cents gallon on domestic wines and 2
cents gallon on rectified spirits.
The income tax extension is hoped to
bring in $35.O0O0O0 Of the $1OO.OOO,O0o
which the President says the country
needs. The democrats Of the committee
have tentatively agreed to place the mini
mum salary to be taxed at $1,000 in the
case of single persons and $4,000 in the
case of married persons In addition
tax rate be half per cent additional TO
that already imposed. which has a mini
mum of 5000 for income and per cent
for rate The tax will. under the pro-
posed changes, start at III per cent on
81 Goo salaries.
Eiftv cents a barrel on beer. in addi-
zion to the 81 now levied. will bring in
S25 900 OOO Thus Is 1t seen that beer and
income taxes will furnish seven-tenths Of
the required amount the domestic wine
tax will furnish about 100000 and the
rectified spirits tax about $2,0OO.OO0.
E,roposals to levy an additional tax OF
Ok cents and Is cents a gallon on distilled
spirits were defeated. The committee Is
nnderstood to have tentatively agreed
on 2 per cent tax on railroad freight
in lieu Of tax on railroad tickets.
Tobacco products, automobiles gasoline,
amusement tickets, magazines and numer-
GUS other articles and commodities will
nor be taxed. That was made unneces-
sary because of the increased income

Offers Stern Resistance.
An official communication issued by
the war Office shows that the German
wing, while retreating before the al
lies, has offered the sternest resistance
delivering several fierce but unsuc-
cessful counter attacks.
The Germans progress seems to have
been too rapid and too precipitate In
it's eagerness to get to the gates OF
Paris, for they arrived out Of breath
and to all appearances out OF ammuni-
ton, which may explain why they did
not pursue their original plan.
All prisoners, of whom 800 or more
arrived in Paris yesterday. appeared
faggedand harassed, and the spirit OF
the army seems to be everything that
is different from the conquerors VINO

the capital in ten days.
Critics See Grave Error.
Whether they hoped to gain time by
a tangent movement away from Paris
or, as some military critics suppose,

army of the crown prince, which was
TO come from the direction OF LongWay,
the deyelopments of the last four days
prove that it was grave error.
