time to look for no bargins, but from
what / red about the day, it was not
ment to be a bargin day atall. it was
for the farmer and others to bargln
amongst themselfs. Of course they
couldn't expect nothin if they didn't
bring nothin in. trouble with most
folks is they all the time want some
thin for nothin and they don't ever
want to do anything for themself.
Frank says it was all game Of bosh
to git the people from the country
and git there monte. Well, hal, if you
can get monte from anie farmer and
not give him somethin in return, you
can do moren most folks. The farm

MR.. MAGILL WRITES OF
VISIT TO HOLLYWOOD
Finds Grave of Young Abbeville
Soldier, Member Orr's Rifles,
Buried at Hollywood.

The Press and Banner has receiv-
ed the following letter from Hon. D.
H. Magill which will be of interest to
its readers: =.
"On yesterday afternoon, visited
for the first time since my arrival in
this city, this greatest of cemeteries
in Richmond or elsewhere, Holly
wood, where are buried many of the
! makers of American history. It is
probable that nowhere else are there
grouped so many Of the nations inn
mortal heroes. This cemetery was
dedicated in 1s49. It takes its name
from the holly wood. trees which
abound here; and is one of the most
beautiful spots in the South and the
view is magnificent.
Yesterday I stood by the tower
ing monuments of President Monroe
and President Tyler, who lie a short
distance apart, near Fitzhugh Lee and
"Jeb" Stuart, on hill in Hollywood
| that looks down upon the historic
James river.
"Just a short distance from the
grave of Governor William Smith are
two weeping willows which came
from the grave of Napoleon.
81 went to this cemetery to search
for the grave Of an uncle of mine,
Thomas Magill, who fell at the bat
tie of Frazier's Farm, and was buried
there, but all the Southern soldier
dead have been moved to Hollywood
or Oakwood in the city of Richmond.
I will 60 in search of my relative
grave next week again. II ,s.G
Eighteen thousand Confederate
dead rest in Hollywood, and sixteen
thousand Confederates rest in the

"In my search of the Confederate
graves in Hollywood I found a grave
of an Abbeville soldier boy and
wrote down what appeared thereon
which is as follows: Frank Wardlaw,

Wardlaw, born in Abbeville, S. c.:

are completely exempted from in
come taxation by the new tax bill.
This was one Of the complete text Of
the bill was obtained. 1t is partly
in accordance with the supreme
court decision that the salaries of
the executive and the federal judi
ciary cannot be diminished during
their terms in office by the payment
of income taxes. Other changes,
heretofore not made public were:
Increase of nonIbeverage distilled
spirits tax from $2.20 to $6.40 a
gallon, if the whiskey, alcohol or
other products, is used for bever-
age purposes. This means increased
taxes for the makers of the patent
medicines, containing alcohol, and
heavier taxes on bootleggers when
the latter are caught.
The tax on new insurance policies
of cents for each 100 was repealed
and the corporation, which are held
to enable stockholders to escape the
surtaxes.
A flat tax of Is per cent is placed
on the sale of capital assets, when
the profits obtained exceed Is per
cent.
An important change to the busi-
ness world is that in case a net loss
is sustained in any year, the amount
of the loss may Ibe deducted from
the taxable earnings of the follow
ing two succeeding years. This is to
give some relief to those businesses
which have suffered as the result of
the price slump.
Travelling salesmen are allowed to
deduct all their travelling expenses
while in pursuit of trade, from their
Eineome: UldeG a treasury ruling
most of this is now taxable. -.
Al, tax simpsihcAtion: board is
created to suggest means of sim.
plifying the tax laws during the
next three years.

The bill contains upwards of 49,
900 words and is entitled, "a Bill to
Reduce and Equalize Taxation, tt
Amend and Simplify the Revenue
Act of 1918, and for Other Pur'
poses" Much of the text IS devoted
to amendments of the administra
tive and definite sections of the pres
ent law, which were prepared by
treasury experts with a view tt
clarifying specific portions Of th'
1918 act and meeting situations
arising from decisions Of the sup
RENE court.

AN IDYLL OF FRAZIER'S FARM

(By D. H. Magill, Richmond, Va.)
For those who fell at Frazier's Farm
Bloom retrospective roses;
Der each brave life that closes
The robin chants his matin charm.
No shadow of dividing years
Shall Gray and Blue dissever,
But peace and rest forever
Dispel bereavement and it's tears.
Adown the James to ocean wave
Friends wander mid the roses,
Where bravery reposes,
And sorrow fingers by each grave.
How bright love shines in fearful eyes
And fond the love they cherish!
In fragrance, as they perish,
The lilies bloom their sweetest sighs
Great river! by thy gloomy flow,
And sombre shadows dreaming,
Flow sequels with they streaming
In waves of dark and deep echo.
With perfumed air and hush Of eye
In fondest hopes appearing,
We seek the balm of healing,
While o'er their memories we grieve
Oh, gray and blue among the blest!
Our pensive dreams enshrined thee
With Frazier's Farm behind thee,
Forevermore at peace and rest.
