were shipped into the United States
during the time that the tariff was on

The mills may not always do so but
they are legally bound to handle

of Canadian wheat under a tariff as
they viii without a tariff. The only
person who will pay the tariff is one

New York, March Weary, ha-
rassed government clerks began to-
day to dig themselves out of the ava
lanche of money which descended up
on them during the last day of max
ing income tax returns and initial
payments here.
Millionaires and scrub women and
opera stars and newsboys combined
to make the night weary one for
the collectors. Some Of the nation S
biggest financiers paid theirs in per-
son-including John d. Rockefeller,
Thomas w. Lamont, Charles H. Sa-
bin, and others.
John Mccormack, the tenor, parted
with $l25,O00, thus beating Enrico
Caruso, whose assessment was some
what less.
Its a penalty for singing so much, -
said Mccormack with a sigh
CALI Curci paid about $4,000. NJ,

River Readings.

The river reached its high point on
Thursday morning, 265 feet, when it
began to recede slowly. The rains Of
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
nearly A inches, it was feared would
cause it to go much higher and the
residents in low lands prepared for
such an event People moved out Of
sections subject to overflow, carrying
their stock with them. However, the
water went no higher and it has fallen
gradually ever since.
1t did damage enough. All of the
river bottom, sloughs and creeks over
Aewr gcl-.,4 ta.ads Of acres went
under water. Where lands had been
broken up, replowing will be neces-
sary. The continued rains and bad
weather, terminating in the over
flow, lead the people to believe that
the worst is over and with the return
OF sunshine farming activities Will he
resumed in full force.
Traffic on many highways was
cut off. The Macon road was cut of
by water at Nails bridge early in the
uprising. The Jackson Highway went
under water at the bridge at the
blacksmith shop at West Port. The
Robertson road was inundated just
after it leaves the Jackson Highway.
The Air Line road was overfowed
and traffic stopped. Luxapalla left
its banks below Hills bridge and
swept across the wide expanse of ter
ritory south to the river. Moore's
creek bottom was all under water and
the Wayerly road was cut off. No
casualties reported, but some stock
drowned.

PROMINENT OFFICIAL HERE.

Mr.. C. Il. Erwin, general superin-
tendent of the nj. & 0. Railroad and
Southern in Mississippi, was in the
city last Wednesday looking over the
local situation. Mr.. Erwin was on a
visit Of inspection, and was in his
private car accoasanied by Mr.. C. w.
Mills, his secretary.
II is reported in current railway
circles that the Greenvile division Of
the Southern is to come in for more
liberal consideration of its needs upon
the part of the present Southern man
agement. The Greenville division has
been from time immemorial the tail
end Of great system but little 81
tention has been given to its actual
needs with the result that the whole
division is at the low ebb of its ef-
fciency. It's patrons here and along
its entire route hope that the rumor
is true and that it will receive a lii
eral support and needed improvements
in the future.
