The Times-Recorder has received
the following letter from a we'll
known Sumter county mother, quot.
ing a letter written to her on Moth.

other Georgia town. The daughters
letter IS a gem of its kind, and might
be perused with profit by other

per today it occurred to me that the
seed of great knowledge is being
planted in Americas, and while the
seed for harvest are being planted
by the farmers and the great fertility
and productiveness of the soil of
Sumter county is being promoted, we
should each and all promote the
products of Sumter county's young
men and women. Are we not proud
of them? This letter shall answer for
a mother whose 16-year-old daugh-

more easily be hurt by such than

Hitchcock Scores
Profit Tax Repeal
Nebraska Senator Launches
Demos Attack on

Washington, Sept. 9.-Pfoposals
for repeal OF the excess profits tax
and reduction of the income SUR
taxes were attacked today by Sena-
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska in the
first statement OH taxes to come
from the democratic side of the sem
ate.
THE proposal to do away with
the excess profit tax and with all
surtaxcs over Is per cent on indi-
vidual incomes" said Senator Hitch
cock, 'is i'll my opinion, very OBJ
jectionable. To make the proposed
repeal of the excess profit tax retro
active to last January adds to the
mistake.
The surtax is the extra tax paid
by individuals with large incomes.
Secretary Mellon proposes to stop
increasing the rate as soon as it
reaches Is per cent. | think the
graduation should continue upward
until the tax reaches "a per cent.
Such vast sums as $500,000 or over
cannot be used as income. They
are merely capital increases. AS
such they add enormously each year
to the wealth of few They are
contrary to the public interests and
ought to be considered contrary to
public policy. They can be liE>ited
and restricted by taxation"

Seven Injured in
+ Pitched Battle
On Greek Vessel
Grew Members Wounded in
Fight When Prohibition and
Narcotic Officers Make
Raid; Get Drugs.

New York, Sept. 9.-After raid
by federal prohibition and narcotic
agents on the Greek steamer King
Alexander today il which seven
members Of the crew were wounded
by pistol shots, Frank J. fltz-
patrick, chief narcotic officer here,
who had taken part in the raid, COM
lnitted suicide at nearby Tier, ac-
cording to police report.
Liquor valued at $4,000 and
drugs valued at $4,000 were con-
fiscated. The King Alexander par
ticipated in a midnight race to port
from beyond the tnree-lnile limit on
September in an effort to make sure
the immigrants on board would be
admitted to the country under the
monthly quota regulations.
Exchange Many Shots.
More than score of shots were
exchanged by the crew and IS pro-
hibition agents. None Of the prohi-
bition agents was hurt. @
In order to obtain evidence, the
prohibition agents said two of them
arranged on Wednesday, with mem-
bers of the crew to pay $4,000 on
the vessel today for the liquor and
drugs. These two went on the vessel
alone. Meanwhile a member Of the
crew noticed a launch with the
other agents approaching. He
warned his comrades and the battle
began.
Fitzpatrick, who had searched the
vessel with the prohibition agents,
was found dead in nearby ferry
house after the fight. There were
two bullet wounds in his heart.
Vessel Is Searched.
The raid was under the direction
of Ernest L. Langley, chief federal
enforcement agent in New York.
The agents searched the vessel
Thoroughly, the crew fleeing before
them below decks. There were in
termittent pistol shots from both
crew and agents as the search pro-
gressed and when the battle subsided
three of the wounded men were
found lying in their bunks.
Mr.. Langley said that $500 had
just been paid by one of the advance
agents and part of tine contraband
articles delivered when the crews
were aroused.
The shooting attracted customs
guards and police reserves. who sur
rounded the pier to prevent the crew
from fleeing The prohibition agents
said, however, that an officer of the
vessel to whom they were to pay
the money had vanished. The
wounded members of the crew were
taken to hospital under arrest.
Other federal agents claim they
know no motive for Fitzpatrick
suicide. They expressed the belief
that the excitement and strain OF
he raid temporarily deranged him.
United States Marshal Power, 30l
deputy marshals and 20 policemen
were sent to the King Alexander
after the suicide was reported to the
to arrest all members of
The crew on board and take them to
The federal building for questioning.
