ue from pound of raisins to great
big ham. Accompanying the pack

early last Friday morning.
Allard Belin Hemingway, was born
August End, 1886, at Brook-Green
plantation near Georgetown, S. c., a
son of Joseph A. and Eliza V. Hem
ingway.
In 1856 his father moved with his
family to the lower section of Will

of this sketch spent the most Of his
life.
After having been schooled at the

tutorage of the Rev. Thos. Gilland
he attended the Arsennel, a military
academy in Columbia, S. c., after
which he attended the Citadel and
while at that place he entered the
service of the Confederacy, serving
for two years in Company B. with
the Citadel Cadets. After the war he
entered and persucd his studies for
while at the South Carolina Col
Ilege, in Columbia. Returning home
he spent the remainder of his life
in business and farming. Early in

following children survive him: Mrs.
]. M. Clyde, ]. B. Hemingway, W. T.
Hemingway, Miss Florence Hemfng-
way, all of Hemingway; DR.. A. B.
Hemingway, Jr., of Ridgeland; F. R.
Hemingway, of Kingstree.
Mr.. Hemingway was characterized
by his kindness and his readiness to
serve the sick and the unfortunate.
He was of a retiring disposition and
seldom sought the praises of others.
His conduct both public and private
always being prompted by the highest
motives. He was what may be term
ed, "a gentleman of the old school" !"
He was a consistent member of the
Union Methodist church and mem
Der of the Indiantown Masonic lodge.
After useful and we'll spent life
when the summons came 70 him to
Join "the innumerable caravan which
moves to that mysterious realm" "
he went as zone who wrapes the
drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams"

Tax Exemptions.

The following statement is issued
by Acting Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue., w. R. Bradley, of the District
of South Carolina:
The Revenue Act Of 1921 contains
two new IMPORTANT provisions, which
are the subject of frequent inquiry.
The first relates to the personal ex-
emption allowed married persons, and
the second to the provisions. requir-
ing that return be made Of gross
income of $1,000 or more.
The Act provides that married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was $5,-
900 or less shall be allowed a person
al exemption of s2,500. If the net
income of such person wss over $5,-
900 the exemption is $1,000. Under
the Revenue Act of 1918 the personal
exemption allowed married person
was $1,000, regardless Of the amount
of net income. The normal tax rate
remains unchanged, A per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income above the
exemptions and 8 per cent on the re-
manning net income.
In order tnat an income slightly
in excess of $1,000 shall not be sub
jected to an inordinately dispropor-
tionate tax because of the reduction
of the exemption to $4,000 thereon.
The law provides that such. reduction
shall not operate to increase the tax,
which be payable if the exemption
were $500, by more than the amount
Of the net income in excess of $4,000.
For example, on net income Of
5000, the tax without this saving
clause, would be $120.40, which is
40 on 5000, the amount of net in
come less an exemption of $4,000.
The actual tax is $110.40, computed
as follows: From the net income of
5000 is deducted $500, leaving
$3.50, the 49o tax on which amounts
to $100.40. To this is added $1,000,
"the amount of net income in excess
of s5,OOO."
The personal exemptions allowed
married persons, apply also to the
head of family, a person who sup
ports in one household one or more
relatives by blood, marriage, or adop-
ton.
Heretofore, a person whose net in
come was less than his exemption
Isl 900 if single, or $4,000 if married)
was not required to file a return.
Under the Revenue Act Of 1921, if
the gross income of an individual
equalled or exceeded $1,000, or if the
combined gross income of married
couple and that if dependent minor
children equalled or exceeded $4,000,
a return must be filed, regardless of
the amount of net income.
"Net income" is gross income, less
certain deductions. The fact that al
lawable deductions from gross income,
for business expenses, losses, bad
debts, etc., may reduce the net in
come to an amount below the person
al exemptions of $1,000 or $4,000,
does not alter the requirement to file
return of gross income, if such
gross income equalled or exceeded
$4,000.

IN FLORENCE COUNTY.
Killing of Negro Did Not Occur in
Williamsburg.


That the killing of Bill McAlister
and the wounding of Lincoln Hick-
son, negroes, the former being accused
of having intimate relations with a
white woman, actually occurred in
Florence county, and not in Williams
burg, as was stated in first reports,
was established today by Magistrate
Baldwin, of Lake City, who investi-
gated the affair and helG an inquest,
the verdict being that the McAllister
negro had come to his death from
gunshot wounds in the hands of un-
known parties.
The killing took place on the night
of December 26, at point near the
white woman's come, about twelve
miles on the Florence side Of the
line dividing Williamsburg and Flor
ence counties. No news Of it reach
ed Florence until newspaper re-
porter happened to meet Sheriff Gam
BILE, of Williamsburg, on train here
Monday night.
From all the information Magls-
trate Baldwin could gather the two
negroes were ambushed and shot, one
of them being instantly killed. Al
though himself wounded, Lincoln
Hickson held his dead friend in the
buggy and drove to his home, a dis
tance of seven miles. He left the
body in the buggy until the magis'
trate arrived and held the inquest.
The story of the affair as related
today by Magistrate Baldwin is as
follows: "Bill McAllister and Lincoln
Hickson, negroes, were in the section
near the old home of H. B. Lee, about
twenty miles from Florence, on the
afternoon of December 26. 1t was
alleged that they had gone up in that
section to see a white woman. Ac-
cording to my information the white
people of that section had wapaed
McAllister to stay away from that
community. On the night OF Decem-
ber 26, the negroes went to the home
of the woman. When they left they
were ambushed and shot, McAllister
was instantly killed, having been shot
through the head. Hickson was shot
through the mouth and his jawbone
was broken. He was also wounded
in the back and there were scattered
birdshot wounds on his body. After
the shooting occurred and McAllister
had been killed, Hickson held the
dead negro in the buggy and drove
home with him. / held inquest over
the body of McAllister and the jury's
verdict was that he came to his death
from gunshot wounds at the hands
of unknown parties. The killing took
place in Florence county. McAllister
was from Williamsburg county, and
had come into Florence county, to
visit the woman. Hickson may live.
McAllister was armed with a maga-
zine shotgun when ne was killed.
After the affair the woman was Or
dered to leave the community and
it is understood that she went to
Kingstree and from there to Harts-
ville.-Florence Times.
