American Sugars Statement.

Much selling of American Sugar was
based on the theory that the publication
at noon OF the coInpany's 1920 income
statement would have bad effect on the
market for the shares. It has been
known for long time that the COM
pany was very hard hit by the slump in
sugar prices In the fall and that a heavy
deficit would be the result of the years
operations. Consequently the actual
publication OF the figures carried no Gle
ment OF surprise. One feature of the
statement. which the Street was unable

balance sheet showing that the company
had more than l4.00o,0O0 OF Lihertys

not have at the beginning. The financial
district was at loss to account for
the situation in which the company was
compelled TO dip into It's surplus for
more than sio.500.000 to meet the years
deficit and at the same time purchase

The Plight of the Roads.

Three factors were directly back OF
the decline OF railroad stocks First. the
announcement by the Pennsylvania that
1t must retrench further its operating
forces and put into effect another wage
cut; second, the certainty that that
course of procedure would be followed,
sooner or later, by every large railroad
in the country; third, that the net oper-
ating income Of all class I. roads IN the

much less than that OF December when

ATTEMPT ESCAPE
AT PENITENTIARY
find Prisoners Hiding Beneath Roof
OF tuberculosis Hospital With
Large Supply of Food.

Columbia, Dee. 5.--An ATTEMPT at
escape from the State prison was
nlppcd this morning when the hiding
place of Harry Gates, of Marlboro
county serving five-year sentence.
ana {. ID. Cooper, a lfc-tcrmcr from
Spa'tanburg county, was discovered
beneath the roof of the tuberculosis
hospltal at the pcnitcntary. In the
search for the two men, the method
6Cy which Jack Fields, who escaped
from the prison last week, made his
getaway was uncovered.
Cooper and Gates were found to be
missing yesterday afternoon, when a
brother Of the former called at the
pcnltcntary to sec him. When C0opcr
could not be located check of The
prisoners was made and Gates like
wise was discovered absent. A heavy
guard was placed on the walls and
extra lights i!lumincd them. Persist
eht search yesterday afternoon failed
10 locate either Of the fugitivcs.
PRISONERS remembered sccing the
TWO men very much interested i'm the
tuberculosis hospital, which has a
double roof, gablcd roof over a fat
roof. While searching through the
building this morning, w S. Hamscy
guard found a clcvcrly concealed
mole cut INTO the roof, and, climbing
down, discovered Gates and Coopcr
hiding between it and the ceiling.
The two prisoners had Il sufficient
supply of cancnd goods and water to
last them for Il week. They intended.
1t IS believed, to emulate the example
OF Fields, and when the extra guards
were relieved, after a few DAYS, cs-
cape over the walls on a dark night.
They were found with strands of
hemp twinc, from which they were

While engaged in the search for

income TAX PHASES
OF MUCH INTEREST
What The New Law Says-Consider-
able Increase in the Exemption
allowed Men of Moderate Means.

An cfficial synopsis of features of
| the federal income tax law has been
furnished to The News and Courier by
David H. Blair, commissioner of in
ternal revenue, his purpose being to
| answer the questions which are most
frequently asked.
Probably the most important change
affecting the man of moderate income
is in the exemptions. Under the 1921
act a married man with net income
| Of $4,000 and less is entitled to an
! exemption of $1,000. Under the revc-
| nue. act Of 1918 this exemption was
limited to $4,000. The revenue act of
1921 also provides for each person
| dependent upon the taxpayer if such
person is under eighteen years of
age or incapable Of sclf-support be-
| cause mentally or physically defective
an exemption of $460. The eXemp-
ton under the revenue act of 1918
| was 5000 for each such dcpendent
Thus, married man with two depend
cntS whose net income for 1921 was
$4,000 will pay this year tax of
| $68, compared with $104 on the same
income for 1920.
The exemption of $4,000 applies also
| to the head of a family whose net in
come for 1921 was $4,000 or less, ar
| increase of $500, compared with the
| 1918 act. A head of family, as de-
fined by present treasury regulations
is "a person who actually supports and
| maintains in one household one OF
more individuals who are closely con-
| ncctcd with him by blood relationship
! relationship by marriage, or by adop-
ton, or whose right to exercise fam
| lily control and provide for those de-
pendents is based upon some moral or
! legal obligation"
The normal rate of tax, d per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income
above the exemptions, and per cent
| on the remaining net income, remains
unchanged. This applies to ci'izcnr
| and residents Of the United States
Alien non-residents are taxed to the
| full 8 per cent on income received
from sources within the United States
Nonresident aliens are allowed only
single personal exemption of 81,
600. TO overcome the disparity in
| the amount of normal tax in the case
| OF two taxpayers, one of whom is jus.
| within the lower $4,000 exemption htc
other being just within the higher So
| 3oo exemption the act provides that
| the reductlon/of the personal cxemp-
| ton from $4,000 to $4,000 shall not
would be payable if the exemption
were $4,000, by more than the net
| income in excess of $4,000. For cx.
ample, married man or head of a
family has Z net income for 1921 OF
3d. 100. Assuming that he has no de.
| pcndcnts, his tax, if he were allowed
only the $4,000 exemption, would be
$l2O.45. Under the benefits of the
above provision, however, his tax is
$ll0: per cent on the amount of this
taxable income of $4,000, or $1OO, plus
