WOMEN ESCAPE DEATH BY FIRE
Telephone Exchange at Piedmont De-
stroyed-Loss 100000.

Greenville, Aug. 10.-Mrs. Mollie
Merck, operator in charge of the
telephone exchange at Piedmont,
twelve miles from Greenville, and
her niece, Miss Louise Parker, mar
rowly escaped being burned to death
about 4 o'clock this morning when
fire completely destroyed the build
ing that housed the exchange and
several other business establish
ments. The total damage is esti-
mated at around 100000.
When the women, who were sleep
ing in the building, were awakened
by pistol shots fired as an alarm
by citizens, the building was nearly
on the point of falling in. Mrs.
Merck attempted to let her niece
down cut of a window by means of
sheets torn off the bed and tied to-
gether, but the young woman fell
before reaching the ground
and was slightly hurt on
the ankle and back. Mrs.
Merck was rescued by citizens with
ladders shortly after. The exchange
was completely destroyed, together
with a meat market, pressing club,
PHOTOGRAPHIC studio and barber shop.

INCOME FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

The following statement is issued
~ Collector OF Internal Revenue H.
/. Graham of the District Of Della
ware:
With the approach of the period for
dling income tax returns January 1
20 March Is, 1922,-taXpayer are ad-
Vised to lose no time in the cOmpila-
Ion of their accounts for the year
1921. A new and important prOvis-
ION of the Revenue Act of 1921 is that
every person whose gross income for
1921 was $4,000 or over shall file re-
curn, regardless of the amount of net
income upon which the tax is assess
ed. Returns are required of every
single person whose net income was
81 900 or over and every married per-
son living with husband or wife whose
net income was $4,000 or over. Wild
Ows and widOwers and persons sepa-
rated or divorced from husband or
wife, are regarded as single persons.
Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions for business ex-
penses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross in
come includes practically all income
received by the taxpayer during the
salaries, wages, bonuses and COM
missions; in the case of professional
men, all amounts received for pro-
fessiOnal services; in the cases of
farmers all profits from the sale of
farm products, and rental or sale of
land.
In the making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1921, every taxpayer
should present to himself the follow
ing questions:
What were your profits from your
business, trade, profession or voca-
tion?
Did you receive any interest on
bank deposits?
Have you any property from which
you received rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of devident or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses during
the year?
Did you make any profit on the sale
of stocks, bonds, or other property,
real or personal?
Did you act as a broker in any
transaction from which you received
commissions?
Are you interested in any partner
ship or other firm from which you re-
ceived any income? --~-.-
Have you any income from royalties
or patents?
Have you any minor children who
are working?
Do you appropriate, Or have the
right to appropriate, the earnings of
such children? If so, the amount must
be included in the return Of income.
Has your wife any income from any
source whatsoever? If so it must be
included in your return or reported in
a separate return of income.
Did you receive any directors fees
or trustees fees in the course Of the
year?
Do you hold any Office in benefit
society from which you receive in
come?
Answers to all of these questions
are necessary to determine whether
a person has an income sufficiently
large to require that a return be filed,
and may be the means of avoiding the
heavy penalties imposed for failure
to do so within the time prescribed.
