BAPTISTS SAY
EXPECT BIG
RESULTS

The Baptist Bible Institute cam
paign for 100000 has been tnor-
oughly organized throughout the
state and everywhere fine work is
being done in it's prosecution. The
campaign opened last Sunday in
more than six hundred Baptist
churches in Louisiana and it is fully
expected that the appeal of this In
stitute will be made to the more than
$4,000 white Baptists during the
next month. In many of the asso-
Citations of the state some of the
strongest laymen are taking an active'
part in presenting the campaign in
the rural and village churches.
These laymen go out in teams of
two or more speaking in the church
es .and assisting, in the individual
canvass of the membership. Not
low note or a discouraging word has
come from any section OF the state.
In many of the local districts the
apportionments made from the office
have been increased and it is prac-
tically assured that the 100000 will
be raised before March 9th. One OF
the leading denominational workers
speaking about the organization in
his territory said: If the Whole
state could be thoroughly organized
and the interest of this Institute
could be presented to all of our con-
stituency, we would raise more than
a half million dollars in the State of
Louisiana alone. ~ DR.. 4. J. Van
Ness, corresponding secretary of tie
Baptist Sunday School Board, Nash
Vile, Tenn, writes, THAT is great
campaign that you are putting on in
Louisiana in the interest of the Bap-
tist Bible Institute of New Orleans.
If you put it over, and of coures you
will, it will be the most far reaching
effort in our history for a genera
ton" This is the view that the big
UNCONVENTIONAL men take of the cam
paign in this state for the Bible IN
stitute of New Orleans. The success
of this campaign in Louisiana Will
challenge the whoel South ana | an
ticipate the other states will take un
the raising of their quota and of one
half million dollars fo' endowment
within the next year.
Good news comes regarding the
beginning of the campaign in this
section of the state and local maDae-
ers are greatly ENCOURAGED, no doubt
Every church covered by this paper
is to be visited by special speaker
and a complete canvass of the entire
Baptist constituency is to be made.
There are many people of other chris
tian faith who are recognizing the
merits of this institution and Will
make contributions to the $500 900
campaign.

JOHN WILLY IS
SHOT BY
NEGRO

John Willy was shot in the right
arm by negro named julie Johnson.
early Saturday morning, near On
vii. Complaint was made to Mr..
Willy by the father of Johnson that
5u.e was beating the family up and
creating a disturbance generally III
tie house. Willy got his gun and
in company with his son, who carried
a Winchester, went to the johnson
house to investigate the trouble.
Just as he approached the door julie
johnson opened it slightly and fired
coming out on the porch. The
charge of No 4 shot entered between
the wrist and the elbow and shat
tered the bone. Young Willy, see
ing that has father was shot, fired at
johnson and thought he had hit him,
as the negro slipped to his hands
and knees and then jumped up and
ran. Willy then turned to assist his
father. In the meantime Johnson
disappeared and has not been cap
tured.
Mr.. WHY'S wounds were dressed
by DR.. Bulloch, who had him sent TO
the hospital in New Orleans, realiz-
ing that the wound was a serious
one. There the arm was amputated
above the SHOW, it being too shatter-
er to save Vt.
Dr. Bulloch said that when he took
Mr.. WHY'S coat off the shot, which
had passed through the arm and into
the sleeve, ratified out on the floor.
If Mr.. Willy had not thrown his arm
in front for protection he would have
received the charge in his body and
undoubtedly been killed
Mr. Willy has been one of the
best deputies on Sheriff Brewster S
force. He is a man of deSermina-
tion and bravery and could pc de-
pended upon. He had arrested julie
Johnson on a former occasion, when
it was believed that Johnson had kill
ed a negro woman found dead in her
room. Subsequently Johnson left
here and was picked up in another
mace and drafted into the army.
He was considered to be a dangerous
character, but said by some to be
half witted. officers are watchin
for him and it is expected that he
may be captured at any time.

THERE WILL BE.
NO EXTENSION
OF TIME FOR
INCOME TAX
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:


That there will be no general ex-
tension OF time beyond March 5 for
he filing of returns, and for the pay
ment of Income and Excess Profits
taxes due on that date, is the decision
of Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue. The announce
ment was made today by Collector
: Y. Fauntleroy, Immediately fol-
lowing the approval by the Senate
and House of the report OF the con-
ferees on the new Revenue Bill.
1T is necessary to get the initial
tax payments in by March 10th, y
says Commissioner Roper. mo
other course is possible. Some few
months ago the Treasury issued GER
tficates of Indebtedness to an amount
approximating 100000, 1000, matur-
ing March 15th.. The first payment
of the Income and Excess Profits
Taxes for 1918 was planned for that
date, to meet this huge obligation.
1.-The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by cooperation.
This present situation is another
emergency which can be overcome by
cooperative effort. The Bureau ex-
tends its every force toward this end,
and | am relying upon the people to
meet the situation Wholeheartedly.
THE Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the program prescrib-
ed in the new law, which requires
all returns for 1918 to be filed out
on or before March Is, 1919, and
requires quarterly payment or the
entire amount to be made on or be-
fore that date.
Every taxpayer who can possibly
do so is urged to make full payment
of his income tax on or before March
18th. The quarterly payment meth
cd is intended for taxpayers whose
financing of the tax at one time
would tend to upset local financial
conditions.
'"The approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House
of Representative brings the new
Revenue Bill to the point where it
may be assumed to be law. The In
ternal Revenue Bureau has been
making preparations to collect the
taxes which it provides, and is now
putting all of it's efforts into aiding
the taxpayers to fulfill the obliga-
tions imposed.
1.-The Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force of several thous-
ands of deputies and agents to assist
taxpayers These officers will be sta
toned at convenient points where
they may be consulted without
charge. Taxpayers should take the
initiative and get in touch with these
revenue men for any needed advice
and assistance in preparing returns.
''The forms for the tax returns are
being printed and all forms will be
in the hands of collectors between
February Is and March l."
