Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Horace Frierson writing from Win

will be in Columbia February IL to 20
inclusive for the purpose of receiving
returns on and collecting income tax
es under the new war tax bill. He
states that a previous publication of
his appointment here enormously
gave the dates as January IL to 20.
A government agent also will be in
Mt. Pleasant on February Is and 16
for the same purpose. Mr. Frierson
will GO to Mt. Pleasant, himself, on
these days, If possible.
Il want to thank you for publishing
what Mr.. Craig, the collector, has

are all contributing our bit to win
ming the war;" and every publication
you make relative to the income tax
helps"
All persons whose income is $1,000
year, if single, and $4,000 a year, if
married, are subject to the income
tax regulations, with certain exemp-
tions for children. All kinds of bust
ness having an income of more than
$4,000, net also are subject to the
income tax.
The income tax Is due March J.;
and there is no law for the relief from
penalty of any person or business that
fails to comply with the regulations
by that date. The income tax ap-
plies to farmers and all other classes
of business or money-making enter
prise.
Although this tax is something new
to most of the people of this state, it
is a part of the preparations for win
ming the war and is not in fact very
heavy burden, If every person pays
what he is subject to pay the burden
will hurt no one and the government
with the assistance of bonds and
,other loans will be amply provided
with money with which to equip the
army and navy in the great conflict.

ed and searched them. Money, jewel
ry, opera glasses, an old knife, skele.
ton keys and other articles were
found in their pockets. The opera
glasses, jewelry and other articles
were identified as having been taken
from the Grizzard home.
On the way to the police station the
older boy attempted to drill the young
er one on what he was to say to the
police, but Patrolman Lancaster 81
fenced him, and at the police station
the younger boy broke down and
made a confession. He admitted the
robbery Of the Grizzard home and hav
ing escaped from the Nashville pc
lice. Later both Of them maintained a
silent non-challence that bespoke
prior experience with the police.
The youthful robbers this morning
had abandoned their attitude of 81
lence and were very laxative in their
cell at the police station to a Herald
reporter and others. The younger
boy talked more freely than his com
panion, but both of them responded to
questions. They were quick witted
and apparently had been to school
considerably.
Their story told in replies to ran
dom questions was that in Chicago
their home city, the older boy had a
job that paid him $14 week and the
younger one worked for $3.50. Their
parents were living, but they decided
to leave home and go South where
they thought their opportunities
would be better. They began robbing
houses in Cincinnati when they failed
to get a job. They continued robbing
in Nashville because the best job Of
fered to them was at 81 a week and
they thought they could make more by
stealing. After being caught in Nash

were encircling the city they struck a
railroad and walked to Columbia, ar
