WATER HERE IS
PROVED SAFE BY
THOROUGH TESTS
But Citizens Are Taking In
OculatiOn Treatment as
Protective Measure
4 STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN

Applicants for the anti-typhoid
incubation crowded to the school
Wednesday afternoon. Men,
women, and children formed in
line, as at a theatre ticket win
dow, and DR.. E. A. Abernethy
was kept busy administering
the treatment.
At the same time DR.. Lloyd
was giving Treatments at Carr
boro, DR.. Fields at the Negro
school, Dr. William Abernethy
at White. Cross, and other ply
sicians at other schools in the
county.
Perhaps the news of three
cases of typhoid in the village
was partly responsible for the
large attendance, but these cases
do not give evidence of any
danger in the situation here.
The water from our regular
supply is tested carefully in
laboratory every day and the
tests prove it to be safe" said
Health Officer S. A. Nathan yes
terday. THE three cases of
typhoid reported here were Of
scattered origin and do not in
dicate an epidemic condition.
Zone of the persons taken
with typhoid was a student who
went home for several days be-
tween the spring and summer
terms; another was recently en-
gagged in building a cabin out in

The TarZan Yell
An Awful Noise Disturbs the Peace
OF the Village

The peace of the village is
now shattered, day in and day
out, by the Tarzan yell.
"Tarzan, the Ape-Man" was
presented on the screen here a
little while ago, and ever since
then scores of boys, Of an age
range of about 8 to IA, have
been trying to initiate the call
of the jungle hero. The result
of their effort is all the loudness
and savagery Of TarZan's call
without any Of its soft and melo-
dious notes.
My nephew, next door to me,
steps forth from the house an
hour or so before other people
are ready to get up, takes a deep
breath, and emits the days open
ing Tarzan yell. 1t is a greet
ing to the Murchison boys, down
the slope toward Battle Park,
and moment later the Murchi-
sons send the Tarzan yell back
to him. Then it is heard family
from far off to the east, where
dwells the Robert House family.
And throughout the day, wan
dering over the village and the
campus, the boys Of Chapel Hill
practice at the imitation Of
Tarzan.

Income Tax of a North Carolina
Citizen under the Present Law

Now that the new federal tax
law has been enacted, we have
prepared a simple statement
showing just what a North
Carolina citizen will have to pay
out as. an income tax for the
year 1882.
The normal federal tax is now
4 per cent on the first $4,000 of
taxable income and 8 per cent
on the; remainder over $4,000.
The state tax is 2 per cent on
the first $4,000; 3 per cent on
the second $4,000; 4 per cent on
the third $4,000; 5 per cent on
the fourth $4,000; 5l2 per cent
on the fifth $4,000; and 6 per
cent on all above $4,000. Tax
able income means the net in
come as computed after the de-
duction of personal exemptions.
Of course, IN some cases there
are other deductions-aS, for
example, when a mans income
consists of interest on state or
federal bonds. And deductions
are allowed for taxes and for
contributions to charities. But
here it is assumed that all in
come (after deduction of per
sonal exemptions) is taxable.
The new federal law allows an
exemption of $1,000 for sim
gle person, $1,000 for a married
man, and S4O0 for every child
under 18 years old. The state
law allows an exemption of
81 900 for a single person, $4,000
for a married man, and 5000 for
every child under Is years old.
BY reducing the personal ex-
emption from 90, 500 to $4,000
for a married person and from
$500 to $1,000 for single
person, the new federal law
brings into the income tax
paying class great number of
citizens who, because their ex-
emptions equaled their incomes,
were formerly not subject to
any tax. This change and the
higher rates make the burden
much heavier than it was be-
fore. Example,: A married man
with no children, and salary of

RIVALS In WARM
FIGHT FOR SEAT
in j. s. SENATE
Morrison Forces Making Power
full Effort to Beat Reynolds
In Second Primary
BIG GUNS ARE IN ACTION

In the midst of all the excite
ment over the Democratic ma
tional convention, Morrison and
Reynolds will wage spirited
campaign for the Democratic
nomination for the United States
Senate. The decision will be
made in a second "run-off' pri-
mary Saturday, July Zone
week from tomorrow.
Reynolds led in the first prf-
mary by about $4,000 votes.
Morrison and his friends, how
ever, express confidence that
they can pick up enough of the
votes that went to the two elm
mated candidates, Bowie and
Grlst, to come out ahead. They
say. too, that thousands of citi-
Zens who supported Reynolds in
the first primary are turning to
Morrison.
Of course this is the usual
campaign talk. The truth is
that neither side is confident.
The fight is close, and it would
be hard to find anybody who, on
a bet, would give odds on either
candidate.
Reynolds lead in the first pri-
mary was chiefly due to his
stand against national Prohibi-
ton. He was the beneficiary of
the mounting tide OF opposition
to the 18th Amendment and the
Volstead act. Sensing the power
of this tide, Morrison recently
receded from his historic dry
ness to the extent Of saying that
if the Democratic national con
vention adopted wet platform
he would stand upon it.
Most Of the Big Guns of the
party in North Carolina are
coming out for Morrison. Some
of them are putting their names

When | was in the drugstore
the other night Carl Durham
showed me a heavy black stick,
studded with knots, which Mrs.
Durham S great-grandfather, Mr..
Donnell, had with him when he
brought wagon train of slaves
from Louisiana to North Caro-
lima. SO far as anybody knows,
he had no occasion to use it +;
this is not surprising, for it is
a dangerous-looking weapon, and
the mere sight of it in the mas
ter's' hand must have been
enough to calm the most rebel
lious spirit.
1T has been handed down
from one generation to Another
as a sort of curiosity in my
wife's family" Mr.. Durnam told
me. They tell me it was cut
from a Louisiana swamp tree
called thorn"
do not know whether or not
the stick was brought to the
Eubanks store as a means of
punishment for any bandit who
might come in and try to rob
the till. The stick had such a
menacing look, when brandished
by Mr.. Durham, that it almost
made my blood run cold. Until
it was put out of my view |

bridge on the Antioch road, up

said: you're about to food us

gate in the dam and not let the

The gate was opened, letting
a torrent through the pipe in the
concrete. The water continued
to lap the cliff, a few inches
from the nest, but it mounted no
further. The mother phoebe sat
patiently upon her eggs. One
day last week Mr.. Page saw the
young birds, five Of them, fitting
uncertainty along the, side Of the

parents. Pretty soon the seven
