Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Fairmont, Sept. 13-Since my re-
turn from Florida, I have been blsy
gcing from place to place and preach
irg at different times.
By request, visited Oakdale church
having made two trips. The last trip
made was to assist the pastor, Rev
Paul Britt, and his son, in series Of
meet,"gs. Through the kindness of
Messrs. C. K. and G. A. Morgans
was taken from and to Fairmont both
times. 1t is needless to say that the
Morgans are clever fellows, for l sus
pect that this is known to many Of
your readers who have shared the
hospitality of these gentlemen and
families in their homes. Both have
nice homes, beautifully located, and
surrounded by good farms, we'll cult
waited and kept. / see changes for
the better in this vicinity. The folks
are elated over the success they made
farming last year and this. The prices
received for their products have lifted
, them high in spirits so that they are
rejoicing in the labor of their hands.
A magnificent church has been erect
ed since l was last there; and am
| told that it cost very nearly $4,000.
A commodious school building stands
near by and both together make Oak
dale a pretty place.
The meetings were we'll attended
considering that there were two others
not far away, one at Bear Swamp and
the other at Marietta.
I enjoyed myself in the homes of
the people while there and hope at
some time to be permitted to visit
them again. On last Sunday | went
to Baltimore in the afternoon and the
pastor. Rev. J. B. Miller, pressed me
into service. There was present a
splendid congregation who favored US
with some fine music. This church
has in its membership willing peo-
pie to do the Lords work. This
should be true of all churches, but it
is not.
I am now making preparation to
go to Fair Bluff next Sunday. l am
sure I shall enjoy this trip, as it has
been many years since I was last at
Fair Bluff. l am told, "You won't

66 Years Success
The Wonderful Record Of DIR,
Thacher's Liver and
Blood Syrup.

Those medicines which live for even
a quarter of century are exceptional,
and continuous use for over two-thirds
of a century is indisputable evidence Of
wonderful merit.
DR.. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup
came into existence in 1852, and from
that time to the present it has grown
in the confidence and estimation of it's
yearly increasing number of users.
Through all these years it has steadily
grown in popular favor.
Its wonderful building up power is
shown in the experience of Mrs. G.. E.
Chadwick, Scale, Ala. 81 was all run
down in health, }" she says. "Weighed
only 1043 pounds and getting worse
every day. I began the use of DR..
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup and
today, l am thankful to say, am in
perfect health and weigh l55 pounds.
l attribute my good health to the use
of that most wonderful medicine. I
firmly believe there are numerous suf-
fering people that could be sound and
well by the use of DR.. Thacher's Livea
and Blood Syrup"
If you need tonic. or blood puri-
tier;f your liver is out of order, your
stomach troubles you, or you are con-
stlpated, have indigestion or dyspepsia:
try Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood
syrup. 1t is purely vegetable and
connot possibly injure any one. It has
been of wonderful benefit to others,
therefore should command your atten-
ton. ALI dealers in medicines sell it
and will recommend it.

DROP IN TAXES
Treasury Considers 1t Neccs-
sary to Raise Eight Bill
lion Dollars by Levy

Washington, Nov. 15.-Uncertainty
of future Government expenditures
and of. policies for curtailment of
| war production makes it advisable,
in the opinion of Treasury officials,
| that the taxes under the pending
revenue bill be not reduced materl-
ally below the $6,2j0, 900. 600 carried
| by the measure as drafted in the
| Senate.
| The treasury now considers r. un-
necessary. it is said, to raise SS,-
| 000,000,OOO by taxation next year on
this calendar years business as pro-
vided by the revenue bill passed by
| the House. Since the Senate has re-
| duced this amount to about S6,250.-
| 100000 the treasury is inclined to
believe that little change should be
made in this total. Particularly.
| treasury experts say. war profits
| taxes should be retained. Many
minor revenue sources, such as stamp
| taxes and special taxes on different
buSihtSS llHtS WHICH are ulllltull VI
administration and yield compare
lively little revenue. might be abol-
lshed without great reduction in the
| total tax burden.
Whatever sum may be cut off as
taxes, treasury officials point out,
, must be raised by issue of bonds.
Consequently the amount which must
| be forthcoming next year by one
means or anQther will not be affected.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
in a letter to Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, chairman of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, in which he
gave revised estimates of the rev.
enue that must be raised by taxation
for the current fiscal year and for
the year following, declared that the
United States must finance her AL
lies to great extent for many years.
The expenditures of the United
States, he said, which were estimated
at $4,000, 100000 for the fiscal year
ending July !, 1919, probably will be
reduced to $4,000, 100000 through
the ending of the war. But the finan-
cial problems that the country must
meet, he added, involve the extern
sion of large credits to Great Britain
France, Italy and other nations.
Secretary McAdoo told Senator
Simmons that the new revenue bill
which originally was for $4,000, ,0O0,-
600 and has been cut to $4,000, ,000,-
600 by the Senate Finance Commit
tee, could be. still further cut, but
that it should he passed in ,Ich shape
that it would produce about $4,000,
600, 1000.
The excess profits taxes, he said,
should be the same us they are in the
act passed in October, 1917. Mr.. Nc
Adoo suggested that the eighty per
cent. war profits tax written into the
new bill be retained.

band numbers 547 men in the Regu-
lar Army, with nearly 500 men in the
old Eighth Regiment companies.
The draft contingents, whose deeds
across the waters are slowly filter
ing home and filing Harrisburg
with pride, numbers 1,477 from the
city and 1,51S from the county, not
counting those taken since Octo-
ber /. Many have gone under spe-
cial induction calls IN the past two
months.
Two hundred local boys are serv-
hg their country on the seas. As
many, it is thought are in the Ma
rines, and when the complete story
of hateau-Thierry is told, it is little
doubted that Harrisburgers played
no small part in keeping the mailed
fist from smashing in the gates of
Paris last July.
Then there are the. youths who
left their colleges, schools and bus
mess to go to officers training
camps, and exchanged their posi-
tions of leadership and success in
civil life, to lead Americas armies
overseas. The record of their pro-
motions and citations for bravery
under ilre, Is eloquent proof of their
qualities as military leaders.
These men are not only in France
and in training camps in this coun-
try In far-olf Siberia, local boys
are helping establish another democ-
racy, fighting side bf side with the
brave CZecho-Slovaks. Italy, Eng

crusader sons.
Not least of them all are the 2SS
men from the city and county who
were scheduled to go away to train

looking forward eagerly to doing
their part in the great struggle.

The French command asked the
Germans for information as to where
