Broom Corn Not Selling High

Tennessee produce companies say that
they can get ell the broom corn they
want for ten cents 9 pound or $500 q
ton. Some firms are buying out Of
Wichita. Kansas.
In December. broom corn was selling
for about 500 ton. Due to the un-
settled condition following the signing
OF the srmistice the market reacted.
and there seems to oe tendency on the
part Of buyers to hold off. OF course
the price may advance later in the sea-
son.

Income Tax Due

Washington, D. c.. Work on the coll
lection Of Sc, 900. 900. COO has been begun
by the Bureau Of Internal Revenue.
This is the estimated yield of the new
revenue bill. The income tax provi-
sions OF the act reach the pocket-book
OF every single person in the United
States whose net income for 1918 was
81 600, or more, and of every married
person whose net income was 81, 600 or
more. Persons whose net income equal
ed or exceeded these amounts, accord
ing to their marital status, must file a
return of income with the collector of
internal revenue for the district in winch
they hive on or befors March l5
Here is what will happen TO them if
they don't. for failure to file a return
on time, fine of not more than 81, 900
and an additional assessment of 25 per
cent of the amount of tax due.
For "willfully refusing" to make q
return on time, a fine not exceeding
Sl0. 900, or not exceeding one years I'M
prisonment, or both.
For making false or fraudulent re-
turn, fine Of not more than $4,000,
or Imprisonment for not more tn an Qne
year. or both. together with an addi-
tlonal assessment of 80 per cent of the
amount of tax eyaded.
For failure to pay the tax on time, q
tine OF not more than 81, 900 and addi-
tional assessment of 5 per cent of the
amount of tax unpaid, plus per cent
interest for each full month during
which it remains unpaid.
In addition to the 1000 and So, 900
personal exemptions, taxpayers are al.
lowed on exemption of 5000 for each
person dependent upon them TOR chief
support If such person is under eighteen
years of age and incapable OF self sup
port. Under the 1917 act, this exemp-
tion was allowed only for each depend
ent child. The head of a family, one
who supports one or more persons close
ly connected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marrisge, or by
adoption, is entitled to all exemptions
allowed married person.
The nominal rate of tax under the
new act is 6 per cent of the first 81, 900
of net income above the exemptions,
and IL per cent of the net income in
excess of $4 600. Incomes in excess Of
IS, 600 subject also to surtax rang
ing from l per cent of the amount Of
the net income between So, 900 and &c.
600 to 65 per cent of the net income
above $I,0O0,OO0.
Payment of the tax may be made In
full at the time of filing return or IN
four installments, on or before March
l5. on or before June is. on or before
September 10, and on or before Decem-
ber Is.
Revenue officers will visit every
county in the United States to aid tax
payers In making out their returns.
The date of their arrival and the loca-
tion of their Offices may be ascertalned
by inquiring at offices of collectors of
internal revenue, postoffices and banks.
Failure to see these offieeis, however,
does not relieve the taxpayer of his OBJ
legation to file his return and pay his
tax within the time specified by Law.
In this case taxpayers must seek the
Government, not the Government the
taxpayer.

here in this great battle at Sois-

shirt under his arm but deter
mined to do his bit and help drive
the Germans back, he picked up
his rifle with the stock shot off
and fired it until he fell helpless
among the German dead. The
battle was so hot that there was
no time to pick up the wounded
SO he was left lying on the field
for nearly % hours to care for
his own wounds, which was one
bullet through the nose. one
through his right arm above the
elbow and his right leg nearly
shot off. With his left hand he
removed a bayonet from a gun

watched the boys that fought by
his side drive the Huns back and
march about $4,000 Huns in as

Samaritan or the Red Cross came
to his aid, forced four German
pr isoners to carry him back to a

roads in RockcoStle have been a
horrible milestone around the
neck of our people. They have
throttled their efforts and great
ly handicapped their progress.
Whose fault has it been9 1t is
the fault of our own people. They
have not thought Alright. They
have not fully realized the woa-
derful dvantage OF good reads.
The few who appreciate better
highways have not done so to the
extent that they are ready, will
ing and anxious to shell the

cause.
At the last election our people
had an opportunity to say wheth-
er they wanted the state to give
us seventy-tive cents for every
twenty FIVE cents We put into the
construction of highways in this
county and the munifcent offer
was refused at the polls. Shame
on such stupidity. Such conduct
seriously reflects upon the intelll-

another chance. Possibly our
people will wake up. The boys
from the trenches will soon return
and we feel sure that every one
OF them will help carry such a

let's have another election on that

here are not at all like those we
have IN the u S. A. They are
so much smaller and they have
girl firtmen and brakemen so that
looks odd to me. The coaches
are divided into two different
departments, have doors in the

holds about eight persons. There
are lots of people here that wear
wooden shoes, especially the girls
