GREAT CONGESTION LIKELY
Collector of Internal Revenue Ward
Calls Attention to Danger

Columbia, March lid. G. Hey
ward, collector of internal revenue
Yesterday stated that all indications
pointed to a very great congestion
in all collectors offices this week,
which congestion will increase to-
wards the end of the week. This is
due in large measure to the fact
that many persons seem to think they
should call personally at the office
of the collector not only to file their
returns but to ask for personal at
tention.
Collector Hayward stated that he
wished to request the taxpayers as
far as possible instead of bringing
their returns personally to the col
lector's office to mail them in order
to save much of the congestion. Reg
ular returns or tentative returns
should be accompanied by checks or
other remittances for the first quar-
terly payment. A tentative or regu-
lar return deposited at any postof-
flee on March 18th would fully pro-
tect the taxpayer from penalties and
likewise insure a proper considera-
ton of his return, when an attempt
to file same personally on or before
the 18th of this month might prevent
him from doing so on account of the
rush at the collectors office.

Quite a great deal of interest is
being manifested in this section over
the proposed plan of annexing part
Of Georgetown County to Williams

want better roads and believe they
will serve better by the proposed
plan of annexation. Taxation will al

The farmers of this section and
the citizens of Andrews are begin
ming to discuss this question freely,
and it is thought that an election
will be held in a short time to vote
on this proposition.
In the meantime everybody is talk
ing "annexation."
Referring TO the above news item
the Georgetown Times has this to
say:
yesterdays News and Courier

dispatch from Andrews and will be
read with much interest by the citi-
zens of this county. This matter
should be looked into Immediately

LOW PAY ROBS NAVY
 IF BEST MEN, SAYS
 SECRETARY DANIELS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Passage by congress of a point resolution pro- viding for pay increases to navy per- sonnel, as recommended by him Tn November. was urged by Secretary Daniels in a letter today to Speaker Gillette of the house. in which the sec retary declared that due to the loss of its skilled men, the navy, now was unable to operate the number of ships that should be kept in commission
 Emphasizing the necessity of in1me- diate action by congress. Secretary Daniels asserted that while total en- listments now were about 102,000. the great majority of these were boys un- der 19 years of age entering as ap- prentice seanen. He adds. that based on the diminishing number of warrant and petty officers in the service. the navy has in fact an effective enlisted personnel of only 45,00o.
 Due to the rapid loss of men in the skilled grades because of the higher wages obtainable in civil life, MT Daniels said, it will be necessary, un- less congress takes prompt action to enable the navy to secure an adequate number of these men, to send the eight dreadnaughtS of the Atlantic fleet to Gua,ntanamo Cuba for winter maneuv- CTS with reduced crews and also to re- duce the number of destroyers and auxiliary craft witch it was planned to send with the batt1esnips-
 The secretary explained in connec- ton with his message to Speaker Gill lette that his recent assurances that the navy was ready for any emergency and that the winter maneuyers would be fully participated in by ships of the Atlantic fleet were predicated on the belief that congress by the present time would have granted the pay in creases recommended.
 ro6 hv tary Daniels before the house naval affairs committee in November. called for a flat increase to officers ranging from s1 .000 for admirals. vice admirals and rear admirals, to s4S0 for ensiRns and warrant officers, a 50 per cent in- crease for all petty officers and a 30 per cent advance for apprentice sea- men.
