Nearly $50, 0 900 Collected in This Dis.
tie.. in q Year.

During June collections of in
terna1 revenue taxes in this dis
trict amounted to SIS, 400, 473 81
This is an increase over June
1917, of Sl2, 434, oS4, II or 40 and
4-5 per cent.
This is an increase over last
year Of S27,611.5 54, Sc, or, 1913 "a
per cent.
This great increase in revenue
is due to the imposition Of the
war taxes. the continued eXpan-
sion of the tobacco industry in
the district and the general PROS
peritg of the people.
This is ny far the greatest to-
baccn district of the country. 1t
has paid more than one fifth,
nearly one fourth of the total tax
on all tobacco products. If cigars
and snuff, of which the amount
manufactured in this district is
consequential are excluded,
paid practically one third of all
the tax on cigarettes and tobac-
co both chewing aud smoking
collected in the United States.
Tae decrease i'll emergency
taxes is due to the repeal of the
l,w> governing the collection Of
anost Of these taIes.--Statesville

All ERICAN FORCES Gain IMPORTANT GROUND

men regiment has been virtually
annihilated in the fighting west
of hill 2O4, according to official
information.
The attack by the Americans
Oh the Vaux positions was so ter
rife that they swept right thru
the enemy lines and had their
object been to continue the ad-
vance, they could have done SO
with the greatest ease, as virtu
ally everything before them had
been cleared. So great was the
enthusiasm of the men, the Off
GERS in some cases had to look
sharp to keep them from going
beyond the set detectives.
1t is not improbable that the
Germans are planning another
counter attack for the coming
dark hours, but preparations
have been made to meet them.
A vast quantity of material,
considering the size Of the oper-
alton, is being taken to the rear,
but probably will not be tabu-
lated for several days.
La the fighting west of Vaux
the Americans stormed several
enemy nests and killed or cap
tured the occupants, then turned
the guns the other way, using
them effectively against the enc
my rear areas.
The Americans penetrated the
enemy's lines to a depth of about
a kilometer and q half on a total
front of about four kilometers.
All day today the troops in the
front line have been subjected to
a heavy shell fire. They had
some shelter in one patch Of
woods which they occupied, but
those who did not enter the
wood have only the protection
which they had provided for
themselves with their entrench-
ing tools or by taking cover in
shell holes. From one crater
slightly in advance of the line,
but on it, from a technical point
Of view, American soldiers this
afternoon let their comrades
know where they were when one
of their party leaned over the
lip of the crater and waved his
helmet. =
The prisoners taken in the
German counter attack say that
they marched for three hours as
fast as they could when word
reached the commander of an
enemy battalion in the rear of
Vaux, which town is on the
right of the American attack.
Observers reported this morn
ing that the Germans were ap-
parently hurrying to bring up
reinfOrcements behind their line.
All the prisoners questioned
today expressed their relief at
being captured. One speaking
excellent English said to the cor
respondent:
''Thank the Lord, I'm out of
there. The American artillery
smuthered US more than once
aud the infanlrymen fight like.
wild devils without a single fear,
but when the fight is finished
they are gentlemen. One could
have killed me, but did not, and
| gave him my iron cross for my
thanks.'
Hurting themselves at the tip
of the salient driven into the al
lied line by the Germans late in
May, the Americans and French
have won important ground near
Chateau Thlerry. r h e attack
was local III character, but it's
success may prove important in
the future operations in that
part of the battle front nearest
Paris.
The assault was aimed at the
hamlet of Vaux, which is situat.
