RELIEF FEXPECTED| IN SUGAR SHORTAGE Refiners Asked to Suspend Exports and Supply Home
 Demand

Relief in the sugar shortage in this section is expected to result from the urgent requests made to all refiners to suspend exportation of sugar and turn back here the sugar that would be sent to foreign countries, which requests have just been announced by J. H. McLaurin. president of the Southern Wholesale Gro cers association.
 1t has been pointed out here by prom inent sugar men that the reason for the shortage is that it is being exported from this country in large quantities to other countries. Government authorities have requested that the refiners ship their product here instead of exporting it, after it was pointed out that at this time. when fruits here are getting ripe and much sugar is needed for preserving and can ming purposes, the situation is getting critical.
 The following is the telegram just re- ceived from MT. McLaurin:
 "Following exchange of many wires we are now in receipt of following wire from United States sugar equalization board, New York: quote your wire 3oth; all refiners have been requested to sus- pend exports of sugar of any character and to utilize stocks for immediate dis tribution; this should give relief you seek. Quote. Please give due prominence mailing bulletin tonight.
 "J H. M'LAURIN."

M'NEEL WARNS TAX DODGERS OF DANGE[ Revenue Collector Declare. Fears of Investigations
 to Be Made

John D. McNeel internal revenue col of income tax just issued, warns delin quents and tax dodgers that investiga tions to show attempt of frauding tht government will be carried on until per. sons involved are brought to justice, though it require years.
 The following is from his statement:
 Tax dodgers may take warning by the IS months prison sentence imposed oie William A. English and John H. O'Brien, Boston wool merchants who pleaded guilty of conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment of federal income taxes.
 Tt is and will be the policy of the bu reau to pursue tax frauds relentlessly This is the only course possible in jus tice to the man who honestly pays hl3 share of the common levy.
 Tn the checking up of returns. evidenc to show fraud will be followed by $ thorough and complete investigate < which, though it may require years, wiz be continued until the persons involve ; are brought to justice. In every case warranted by the facts the bureau will urge the imposition oI the extreme penalty.
 Tax payers who have not met their full tax requirements should not wait un- til discovery is made by revenue of- ficer. There is great difference between the self discovered tax dodger or tax delinquent and the one discovered by our office. The time for compromise is be- fore discovery by government official
 'It is our determined policy that wealth shall not influence to prevent wilful tax dodgers from going to jail The big and financially able must be treated in the same way as the small wilful violator and hence compromise through money will be rejected"

Now Who Would You Say Is the Meanest Man?
Is it the spirit of '76?


 Was it spirit of eagerness to over give?
 Why not call it good joke and return to a certain downtown booth and give the lady new coin in place of the one de- posted for the purpose of helping erect a monument to the soldier?
 What would you say if some nice young lady approached you pleading for a cause in which Alabama is strongly supporting and then you had nerve enough Cor something else) to respond by dropping bum" coin in the coffers of the cam paign fund?
 NOW perhaps it was a mistake of which the donor IS not aware. but unless this young lady is repaid for the article foreign to the treasury department ot the United States, she vii have to share this donation with the former giver This is the sad story of a memorial l campaign worker who accepted a plain old lead oJ-cent piece in exchange for part payment for one of the honor ribbons in the campaign race yesterday.
