PARKED ON LOCAL STREET
MONDAY.

This community was sadly shocked
Monday afternoon at the sudden and
unexpected death of Mr.. Flournoy B.

he was being brought to town was
parked at the curb. Death was at
tributed to heart failure.
The body lay in state at the home

afternoon, at o'clock, when it was
removed to the Presbyterian cemetery
for interment. Services were held at
the grave, conducted by DR.. w. r. An

Der Of friends and relatives attended
and heard the eulogistic remarks Of
the Rev's Anderson and Sullivan, and
the floral offerings placed on the grave
Of the deceased were very beautiful.
Mr.. Hannah had spent some time
with his daughters at Hope and board
ed the noon A. d L. train Monday,
getting off at Dolph station and walk
ing to the home Of Mrs. Louis Null
drow nearby. In the afternoon Mr..
W. H. Weir and daughter, Miss Mamie
Belle, motored out to the Muldrow
home and Mr.. Hannah got in the car
to accompany them to town. He had
been complaining of slight pains at in
tervals, but did not think it anything
serious. When within about a mile of
town and while in conversation with
Mr.. Weir, Mr.. Hannah suddenly lost
consciousness and fell back on the seat
Of the car. The machine was speeded
up and reached town a minute later,
but he was beyond aid and passed
away before he could be removed from
the car.
Mr.. Hannah was man Of fine ply
lsiale and enjoyed good health up Il

Mrs. Joel Hannah, came to Hampstead
county from Charlotte county, Va,
in the fall of 1885, moving to
Washington in 184S. Mr.. Hannah was
born here May 3, 1850, and was mar

and the appropriations for various
causes totaled SAL 10000.
One of the most interesting ques-
tions before the court was whether or
not an appropriation would be made
to carry on the tick eradication work
in this county. An appropriation Of
S1,2OO.OO was voted for TINS purpose,
after a spirited debate. In voting on
this measure most Of the justices ex-
planned their vote, some personally op-
posing the appropriation but voting
for it because their constituents want
ed il and others who personally favor
ed the appropriation voting against it
for the same reason. Mr.. Chas. Half

FARNE Rs OFFER
To DONATE CORN
TO HALT HUNGER
viii Give Cereal if the Peo-.
pie of Cities and Towns
Will Transport 1t to the
Mouths of Starving.
fR, The Amounted pressl

Chicago, Jan. 14.-The farmers
of America stand ready to give
enough corn to appease the hunger
all over the world if the people of
cities and towns will transport it
to the mouths of the starving,
President j. r. Howard of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, declared here today.
Addressing the Illinois Agricul-
tural association, President How
ard declared he had advices from
many states, assuring him that the
farmers would be willing to donate
most literally from Americas corn
crop in order that no one in the
world might need to starve for
want of food.
The matter has been taken up
with Herbert Hoover. chairman of
the European relief activities.
A prominent farm bureau MEM
Der in Iowa, Mr.. Howard said, had
suggested to him that farmers in
his county would donate all of
their surplus crop over the num-
Der of bushels they raised in 1919.
To the farmer who suggested this
plan, it would mean a donation of
5000 bushels, Mr.. Howard said.
The farmers of America. Mr..
Howard continued, are willing to
donate of their surplus a sufficient
amount to save the starving in Eu-
rope and China, provided that the
corn is shipped out of the country
and not thrown on the American
market, further to depress the
price.
They proposed to the European
and Chinese relief committees that
the farmers would furnish the corn
at the shipping stations if the rail-
road, milling and corn products in
tereSts and the public at large Will
transport it to the famine victims.
kilograms were read by Mr..
Howard from farm bureau secre-
taries of the states of Ohio, Mis-
souri,, and Indiana endorsing the
plan.
Offers of donations increased un-
til within ten minutes more than
$1,000 bushels of corn was volun-
tered for relief.
I'VE will furnish any amount
the Hoover committee can use
Mr.. Howard said after the meeting.
"Tf they want 100000 bushels
they will get it; if they want 49,
600, 900 bushels, Well, get that. ]
talked with the New York head
quarters this morning and the mat
ter will be taken up there Mon
day"

where he lost his title. Since that
time Stecher has been under the
care OF physicians.

Edwards, is the result of head
lock clamped on the champion

noticeable until after the match a
month ago at which time Stecher
lost his title to Lewis by The head
lock hold.
Stecher's illness at this time is
attributed directly by Or. Ed

BETTER TENURE
LEGISLATION IS
TEACHERS PLEA
Educators Believe That In
Justice Lies in the Pre-
vaiIing System; Will Ap-
peal to Legislatures.
fRy The Associated Press.)

Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE execute
tive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers. following ac-
ton of the organization held in St.
Paul, is launching nationwide
campaign for better tenure legls-
lation for teachers. State legisla-
lures will be asked to remedy exist
ing conditions relative to the en-
plcEment and retention of teachers,
who believe that injustice lies in
tho prevailing system. The Ameri-
can Federation of Teachers author
tiles assert that remedial legisla-
ton will go far towards raising the
standard of the teaching profession,
inasmuch as it will obviate arbi-
trary dismissal of competent teach
ers by autocFatic boards of educa-
ton.
"In asking for decent tenure
legislation" said Charles B. Still
man, president of the American
Federation of Teachers. at Chicago
headquarters. our organization is
Itect the inefficient teacher. In
fact. the American Federation of
Teachers is interested in providing
the machinery. by means of which
incompetent teachers may be re-
moved from the school system.
Far from protecting, incompetency,
the American Federation Of Teach
ers has gone on record in IL most
revolutionary measure for the pro-
lection of the public schools, by
demanding for its organization pro-
fessional training as prerequisite
for the chartering of q local." ''
President Stillman said the
American Federation of Teachers
maintains that tenure should be
| permanent during efficiency after
THE lapse of the probationary Pc
I1iod, which should not exceed three
years; that all dismissals. both dur
J ing and after probation. must be
for causes definitely embodied in
the educational law. such as gross
insu bordination, inefficiency and
conduct unbecoming a teacher, and
that after the probation period dis
missal for any cause, including in
efficiency, shall be authorized only
/ by an impartial trial board.
| Appeal from the decision of q
trial board may be made to the
civil courts would also be allowed.
1 The federation officials say they
| see a cultural wage for teachers
and explain that this is a wage
which will enable them to live ac-
ccrding to the requirements of their
position, to provide for such haz-
ards of life as illness and old age,
to provide tor culture, recreation
and professional Improvement. and
| to maintain self-respect.
Beside demanding certain work.
ing conditions, they also assert the
right of teachers to participate in
the administration of the schools
and establish the principle that the
teachers are entitled to the rights
of free expression and the right to
organize and to affiliate with such
groups as they find expedielft and
deem socially and spiritually sound.
The American Federation OF
Teachers is affiliated with the

No. 6.

In computing net income, a de-
duction for business expense or a
disbursement or charge must have
certain qualities in order to be al
lowed. 1t must relate to a trade,
business, profession, or vocation
carried on" by the taxpayer in
which he has invested time and
money for the purpose of a live
lihood or profit. A single trans
action or a series of isolated trans
actions do not ordinarily consti-
tute trade or business. A bust
ness is being carried on by its own
er, even though all its activities
may be conducted by employees.
A taxpayer may carry on more
than one business or trade if he
devotes sufficient time and at
tention to each enterprise, and may
claim as deductions the business
expenses of each. Mere investment
of capital, however, is not suffi-
cient to allow such claim. For eX-
ample, manufacturer buying
stock in a mine or oil we'll who de-
sires to visit the scene of operation
may not claim as a deduction the
cost of his journey.
The deduction must be "a "busi-
ness expense" and not an invest
ment of capital" Amounts ex-
pended for the erection of new
buildings. installation of machinery
and the purchase of tools or imple-
ments of permanent value do not
constitute business expenses, being
merely a change in the form of
capital and not reduction of
wealth. Expenditure for property
which is used up in the course Of
the year may be deducted as a
business expense.
Salary Deductions.
The law provides for the deduc-
tion as a business expense Of "a
reasonable allowance for salaries
or other compensation for personal
services actually rendered" Sucn
claims are subject to careful scru-
tiny by the bureau of internal reve-
nue., and to be allowed must con-
form strictly to the wording of the
statute. The test of deductihility is
whether the amounts paid are reas-
enable, and whether they are, in
fact, purely for personal services.
Reasonable compensation is held
by the bureau to mean only such
amounts as would ordinarily be-
paid for like services by like en-
terprises in like circumstances.
Claims for deductions for salary
payments are allowed only when
the compensation is for services
actually rendered" and for no
other consideration. For example,
should stockholders of corpora
ton draw salaries in amounts
which bear a close relationship to
their stock holdings, and if such
payments are found to be in ex-
cess of a reasonable allowance for
services rendered, the excess would
be regarded as distribution OF
profits under the guise of salaries.
Complete Return Required.
Each years returns, both as to
gross income and deductions there
from, should be complete in itself
| and taxpayers are expected and re-
quired to make every reasonable
effort to ascertain the facts neces-
