YOUR INCOME TAX

Your income tax for the year 1924
is less in proportion to your in
come, than was the tax for 1923. A
rate reduction, however, is not the
only benefit afforded by the revenue
act Of 1924. Increase in the exemp-
ton for married persons, a 25 per
cent reduction on earned income"
and other changes in revenue legis-
lation are of immediate interest to
every taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924
was $1,000 or more, or whose gross
income was $4,000 or more, and by
every married couple whose aggre-
gate net income was $2,500 or more,
OF whose aggregate gross income
was $4,000 or more. Last year re-
turns were required of married cou-
pies whose aggregate net income
was $4,000 or more. Husband and
wife, living together, may include
the income of each in single joint
return, or each may file separate
return showing the income of each.
Net income is gross income less GER
tain specified reductions for business
expenses, losses, bad debts, contrl-
buttons, etc.
The period for filing returns is
from January to March Is, 1925.
The return, accompanied by at least
one-fourth of the amount of tax due,
must be fled with the collector Of
internal revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer has his legal
residence or has his principal place
Of business.

FAMOUS FORTS
INU. S. HISTORY
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
The Scene Of a FarcicaI
Failure

The Scene OF q FarcicaI
Failure
In the history Of the Civil war, Fort
Fisher Is best remembered perhaps be-
cause Of the farcical failure of a plan
to capture It, made by Gen. B. r. But
Ter, the most maligned (whether right
ly or wrongly. history has not yet de-
termined) Union leader In the war.
Il might better be remembered for the
brilliant attack led by Gen. Alfred II.
Terry which did capture It year later
and the gallant defense made BY the
men in gray who held 1t.
In 1884 the Union leaders deter
mined to close the port Of Wilmington.
N. c.. the haunt Of the most success
ful Southern blockade runners. vii.
mington was guarded by Fort Fisher,
which the COnfederates built at one
of the entrances Of the Cape Fear
river. It was one Of the strongest forts
in the South, with parapets 25 feet
thick and 20 feet high, upon which
were mounted A heavy guns. It was
held by Col. w. Lamb and 1,40O men.
Late in December Admiral David
Porter with a feet Of $50 vessels, the
largest that had ever sailed under the
American flag, appeared before the
fort. Accompanying this feet were
5000 soldiers commanded by General
Butler who was to make land attack
while Porter bOmbarded the fort from
the sea. As a preliminary to the at
tack Butler conceived the idea Of send
ing a vessel, the old steamer Louist-
ana, loaded with more than 200 tons
Of gunpOwder to be exploded under
its walls and dlsmantle its guns.
The charge was set of about 2
o'clock in the morning. II was mis-
cradle failure, however, for the explO-
sion not only did no damage but It is
said to have scarcely disturbed the
garrison. After bOmbarding the fort
for two days, the Union forces saw
that a land attack would be futile and
Porter sailed away
On January 13, 1865, another at
tempt was made against Fort Fisher.
Again the naval attack, although II
killed 200 Of the forts defenders,
failed to reduce It. But the land at
tack led by Gen. Alfred 81. Terry was |
more successful. His army Of 5000 |
succeeded in capturing the fort after |
one of the most brilliant assaults Of |
the war which was resisted with equal
gallantry by the COnfederates. The
Southern loss was 500 killed and
wounded; the Union, 266 killed and
/ ,O75 wounded and missing.
The fall of Wilmington followed the
capture of Fort Fisher and the clos
ing Of that port cut Off the supplies
which The Confederacy had been OBJ
tanning by its blockade runnerS Star
walton faced the South and three
later her ragged hosts laid
down their arms.

FAMOUS FORTS
INU. S. HISTORY
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
He Cut the Cross From the
British Flag

! AA@ASA = 40
In 1886 the cOlonists of Massachu-
setts bay were in a state of great per-
turbatiOn. The master of a British
ship which had sailed into Boston har-
Dor had demanded to know why no
flag was flying over the little pail
saded fort on Castle island to render
him a salute and be saluted in turn.
That was an embarrassing question
for a short time before one Richard
Davenport, acting upon the orders Of
stern old John Endicott, had cut the
cross out of the British flag because
to that dour Puritan leader it SYM
bOlized the ancient Catholic religion
of the mother country. That was one
reason why no flag flew over Castle
island, and it took considerable ex-
planning to avoid unpleasant results.
Thus early in Massachusetts his
tory, Castle island, this little scrap of
land less than a dozen acres in eX-
tent, became an important spot. The
next incident in its history came in
1859, when the hatred of the cOlOnists
for their governor, Sir Edmund Andres,
resulted in a revolt and one of the
first places they seized was this fort.
In 17O5 Colonel Romer, a famous
English engineer, was employed to re-
pair the fort, whose palisades had
fallen into sad disrepair. He demol-
ished all of the old works and erected
new ones of timbers and earth, and
this new fertilization, the most for
midable that had yet graced Castle is
land, was named Castle William, or
Fort William, in honor Of the king.
During the French wars, Fort VIII
liam was one Of the most important
defenses along the Atlantic coast, and
at the close of these wars it had
total Of 120 guns mounted on its walls
1t was strongly garrisOned by the Brit
ish at the outbreak Of the Revolution
as an aid In holding the rebellious col
onlsts in subsection, but when Lord
Howe evacuated Boston in 1776 the
British flag was lowered over Fort
William, never to be raised again.
In 1898 Massachusetts, ceded Fort
william to the federal government.
The next year when President John
Adams visited Boston he suggested
that Fort Independence would be a
more appropriate name for this defen-
der Of American liberties, and his sug- |
gestiOn was adopted In 1882 Fort
Independence was enlarged into a
casemated, pentagonal, Fashioned for
tificatiOn. and for the first time in
nearly 200 years Boston had a defen-
der worthy Of the name Of "fort.

ANOTHER FISHING CONTEST
SPONSORED BY BABBlTTS'

Another fishing contest with wider
scope and more interesting features
will open on June first, sponsored by
Rabbits hardware department. Ang-
ling as diversion was never so gen.
eral as this year, due in part to the
first contest, which will close on
Monday. The lowly catfish and perch
are promoted to the ranks of prize
winners in the new contest and there
will be an added thrill as the big fell
lows are landed when it is known
that they may win as we'll as game
fish like trout and bass. The only
needed qualification is registering
with the hardware department, where
decidedly worthwhile prizes are on
view. Details of contest rules appear
in an advertisement in another part of
this paper. Reregistration is neces-
sary for entering this second event.
Registration IN the first contest does
not entitle one to participation in the
second Winners of the first event
will be announced next week. There
is always someone on duty at Bah
bits. During the hours that the store
is closed there is watchman and Mr..
Warnock will be glad to go down to
weigh a fish any night.
