LOCATE ALL WHO HAVE
MADE ERRORS IN RETURNS

A special drive to locate merchants
and manufacturers who have follow
ed erroneous methods in making
their inventories for the taxable
years 1917 and 1918-such methods
tending to reduce tax liability is
about to be made by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue, it was announced
today.
In cases of voluntary disclosures
before investigation of failure to
make proper return and payment,
the policy of the Bureau, it was
stated, will be to forego penalties ex-
cept where there is intentional evas-
ion of the tax. Where discovery is
made by Government Officers heavy
penalties will apply.
In some cases inventories have
been found to have been taken on
the basis of average costs, though it
was possible to identify the articles
remaining on hand at the inventory
period, and so determine their exact
cost. In others, because of conserva-
tive accounting methods, fiat per-
centages have been deducted after
determining inventory values. Others
used fixed average, based upon
costs of prior years, or fail to include
all merchandise to which they have
title in their inventory.
All of these methods, which have
the effect of reducing tax liability.
are contrary to the regulations of
the Bureau and are illustrative, it
was said, of numerous irregularities
which have been found.

GoMPERS ILL. HAS
- NERVOUS ATTACK
saSssD WITH HIGH FEVER

Washington, Oct. 15.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, is confined
to his home here in a state of ner-
vousy exhaustion. His temperature
this morning was 101 degrees and
his physician has ordered him to re-
main in bed.
Announcement of Mr.. Gompers'
breakdown was made by his secre-
tary when the national industrial con-
ference convened today. He issued
the following statement:
"Mr. Gompers returned home from
the: industrial conference last eve
ming. very exhausted and went i'm
mediately to bed. His physician, DR..
Henry Parker, was called in to see
him, He found Mr.. Gompers in a
state of nervous exhaustion with a
temperature of 101. The doctor said
it would be absolutely necessary for
Mr.. Gompers to remain in bed"
Mr.. Gompers' illness results, Ia
Dor leaders said, from months of
unremitting work at home and abroad
; in connection with the peace treaty,
the international labor congress at
Amsterdam and the steel strike.
The veteran labor leader was
stricken when he reached his home
last night after delivering an attack
! in the industrial conference on the
United States Steel corporation for
its refusal to deal with the steel
strike committee. His friends re-
called hat the day was the first an
niversary of the death of his daugh-
ter and they said this fact probably
aggravated his condition.
Those who heard Mr.. Gompers' in-
pass;iored address in the conference
yesterday, realized he was laboring
under a tremendous nervous strain
and the announcement of hi; illness
did not come az surprise to his
associates in the labor group.

OCTOBER MEETING OF
ARBEyILLE CHAPTER U. D. C.

The October meeting Of Abbeville
CHAPTER u. D. C. on Tuesday after
noon at the home Of Mrs. c. c. Gam
brell, began a new season OF work
with an enthusiasm, which bespeaks
much for the coming months. Re
norts from officers and committees
showed the chapter in splendid con-
dition. and the addition of new men,
bers sufficient to bring the member
ship to seventy, thus giving the ehap-
ter three delegates to the state con-
vention, makes it one of the most IN
fluential in the South Carolina Divis-
ion.
Plans were made for box to be
sent to the convalescent soldiers at
Camp Jackson next week, and COM
mittee was appointed to arrange for
IAN exchange in November. The most
important business of the meeting
was in connection with compiling the
records of the descendants of Confed-
crate Veterans, who served in the
World War. A number of records
had been received, and a committee
was appointed to complete the work,
as soon as possible.
Mrs. ]. F. Bradley and Mrs. L. C.
Parker were appointed delegates to
the General Convention at Tampa,
Fla, in November.
After all business was concluded,
the chapter enjoyed one Of the most
delightful social hours that has ever
been arranged for a meeting. Mrs.
Gambrell had decorated her rooms
with service flags belonging to the
members, and against this beautiful
background were placed the pictures
of Confederate soldiers, who fought
for States Rights, and of the "chips-
off-the-old-block," who fought for
Self-determination.
Instead of the usual program of
Confederate history, the records of
the soldiers of the World War, COL
lected so far were read. Some were
records Of men, who left wife and
children at home, and some were
mere boys, fresh from the school
room; the Army, the Navy and the
Marines, were all represented, and
every record was a splendid one, as
beftted the descendant of a Confed-
crate soldier. At the close of the
afternoon, Mrs. Gambrell served a
delicious salad course with coffee.
This was one of the largest meet
ings the chapter has ever had, as we'll
as one Of the most pleasant.

MARIE MoRIssEY, coNTRALTo,
To Sing In Abbeville, Thursday, Oct.
30th.

To Sing In Abbeville, Thursday, Oct.
30th.
Announcement is made to Abbevllle
music lovers that Miss Marie Morris
sey will give a concert in AbbeVllle'
Thursday night, October 80, at the
Opero House.
Marie Morissey is one of our real
American singers. Her family has
been in this country as long as any
body else's! And she has had strict
ly American education. She is pu-
pil of Dudley Buck under whom she
studied for four years. She proves
in convincing fashion that a singer
can reach a high degree of develop
merit under American futelae,>
Miss Morrisey has made spacia:ty
O. songs sung in English. And that
meant studying English dictlcn with
special care, for one of the reasons
English is not so pelodious as solae
other languages, in Miss Morrisey's
opinion, is because we are careless IN
our speech. Mr.. Dudley Buck did
more than teach Miss Morrisey how
to use her voice correctly. He also
taught her to treat her own language
Respectfully" as she herself puts it..
"The English language may not be
so soft and melodious as some other
languages" declares Miss Morrisey,
"but it suits ne"-and she says this
with the pride beftting true daugh-
ter of the American Revolution,
which she is.
Residents of Abbeville will agree
with Miss Morrisey when they hear
her sing some of the American songs.
She is particularly enthusiastic about
songs by American composers, and
no recital of hers is complete with
out some of them.
Next weeks concert promises to
be a splendid addition to the list of
treats the music ''fans" of Abbeville
have enjoyed in the past. Miss Nor
fisey's voice is finer than ever,-a
rich, sweet contralto. A nd the long
and arduous training it has received
in the concerts Miss Morrisey has
given to the soldiers in hospitals and
camps, has added a new power to her
voice.
Thursdays concert will be an invi-
tation affair, but musically inclined
Abbeville is sure to be fully repre-
sented.

A certain party while engaged in conversation the other day remarked that he hoped the steamer would get in from the States before cold weather set in, so he could receive his winter clothing. When asked why he did not buy his clothes in town, he said: Do you think I am going to pay two prices for what 1 get here?" And yet this same man wants two prices for his wares; and gets it. The man who makes his living off a town while re- fusing to spend his cash in it is a. citizen who can well be spared. He is no good to the community and like tick on a sheep's back, is only cling ing on for what he can get out of it. A town filled by such parasites can not hope to get anywhere.-Valdez Miner.

Alaska has suffered more on ac- of the United States; we have given a bigger percentage of our population for military service than has any other state, territory or subdivision, and our war charities and bond subscriptions have been in line with all other ac- tions since Uncle Sam stepped into the fight to save the world for the de- cent part of it's inhabitants. Recent action on the part of congress in rail way appropriations have shown that the Washington lawmakers appreciate the efforts of the people of Alaska, and it is sincerely to be hoped that there will be no let-up until the railway money is available for the project. It seems now that the Alaska railway project is becoming as deservedly pop ular on the Outside as it is in Alaska. Anchorage Times.
