School House Burns

The following items, including
the account of the burning of
Westfield creek school house,
are taken from the Chesterfield
Advertiser:
Mrs. w. P. Odom went to
Charlotte one Gay last week and
had her tonsils removed.
During the severe wind storm
of last Thursday Mr.. Joe Sowell
lost a fine horse. He was on a
hunting trip near McBee, where
his horse was in a stable, when
the building was wrecked by the
wind, resulting in the death of
the animal.
A fire destroyed Westfield
Creek school house No. 2 last
Monday morning at about II
o'clock.
Fire started from a defective
flue while school was in session,
and as there was no means at
hand to fight the flames, the
building was burned to the
ground. Mr.. Ward Ingram, of
Cheraw was the teacher IN
charge, and by his efforts, assis.
ted by the pupils, many of the
fixtures were saved. The build
ing valued at about $500, carried
no insurance.
Westfield Church was also a
heavy loser by the fire as about
1000 feet of select lumber be
longing to that church was stored
in a vacant room of the school
building.
1t is not likely that this build.
ing will be replaced as there is
another school two miles away
in the same district. 1t is said
that a larger house may be built
nearer the center of the district
to displace both schools.

Wants Taxes Rather
Than Bonds

Washington, Nov. 25.-In-
crease in internal taxation rather
than issue of bonds to meet the
first years expenses of the ad-
ministration's defence program
me are advocated by Secretary
McAdoo of the treasury in a for
NAL statement issued tonight Civ
ing an estimate of the federal
governments revenues and ex-
penditures up to the end OF the
fiscal year beginning next July.
Assuming that congress will
continue in effect the present
emergency tax law and customs
duty on sugar, the secretary esti.
mates that $l12,806, 1874 in addi-
tlonal revenue will be needed
for the expenditures for 1917, in
cludiug $93, 100000 for new meas
ures for national defense,
This amount" says the state
ment, "can easily be raised by
internal taxation without ap-
preciable burdens upon the
American people,"
Mr.. McAdoo suggests a reduc-
ton in the income tax law ex
emption on single person from
$4,000 to $4,000 and on married
