Golf Fans Invited to
Match; Gallery Fee
Will BE Charged
Those Attending

All the tricks Of the golfing trade
will be demonstrated at 2 o'clock at
West End Country Club tomorrow aft
ernoon by Joe Ear world famous golf
trick shot artist, when he gives his
exhibition of his wares and turns IN
1S-holse of golf, being paired with T.
Register, of Oxford, against Nathan
Strause and AL Johnson, local pro.
There will be gallery fee, and
many golf fans are expected to be out
to see the match and exposition of
shots.
Ear is a cocky fellow of 26, and
thinks there's none superior to him
when it comes to trick shots.
The trick shots nature can be clear
ly garnered from his recent interview
with Henry McLemore famous sports
writer, down at Pinehurst.
Ear believes trick-shot artists are
born not made. Practice will enable
a man to be a fair artist, he said but
to be a genius with golf ball and
club, a man must have had the divine
touch since birth.
"Take me-" Ear said. IT got that
touch, IF I didn't have, how could 1
ever have thought up the things I do?
Don't have to sit down and puzzle
things out to do with that ball They
just come to me as I'm sitting around
like this, or eating or dancing.
1--we had ideas come to me while
I was asleep. While I'm talking to you
here, might get thought; and if
I do, don't pay any attention to me if
I get up and run out of the door to
the practice tee. Soon as I get one,
no matter where I'm at, run get my
clubs and work it out. That buried
ball trick came to me just that way"
It's All Very Simple.
"You must know it" he answered.
Everybody does. It's the hottest
thing anybody ever did with a golf
club. bury a ball in the ground I'M
til nothing shows but the dots on top
Then tee two more balls a few
inches in front of it. Then / take a
plain ordinary driver and swing. The
buried ball flies up in the air and
catch it. The first ball lin front of it
shoots back through my legs for about
so yards and the other one goes
straight out for about $50 yards
cts sensational, and when get SO
can do it on one leg it's gonna be
terrific. I'm working on that now. The
buried ball part came to me one day
when I stepped on ball in the fair
way, and quick as lightning said
to my self Ear, If you're so hot; take
a driver and knock that one out of
the ground
II knocked it out with my driver
and the ball hit me in the kisser. It
kept hitting me in the kisser until 1
had worked on it a few days and got
so I could catch It,"
Ear said that while his present
routine was a knockout, he was not
satisfied and would continue to think
and get ideas until it was plain SEN

on all gross receipts in excess of So
900.
Since all of the $4,000 active mer-
chants in North Carolina do a bust
ness of at least $1,000 a year or less
each of these merchants would be re-
quired to pay the $40 a year initial
tax, which would amount to $3.50 Don
Assuming that at least half of the
merchants do a business crossing in
excess Of $l,0oU a year, 1880 mer-
chants would have to pay an addition
al $125,00O in taxes. So right off the
bat, the merchants would have to nav
$37500O a year, without applying the
10 cents per 500 tax cn their gross
business in excess of $4,000.
Doubt the "Welcome Relief"
Present sales tax collections show
that the retail and wholesale mer
chants of the State are doing a bust
ness of at least $25,0OO,00O month, or
of $300,0O0,O0O a year, and that tax
of Is cents per $1OO on this amount
which is 1900 of one per cent, would
yield approximately $4OO0,OOO a year
especially since it aplies to whole
sale as we'll as retail sales, while the
present sales tax rate on wholesale
sales is only one-twentieth of one per
cent.
Thus the total tax which the mer-
chants themselves-not their custom
ers-would have to pay the state of
North Carolina as privilege for do
ing business, would be $375,00O, plus
$40O,O0 or a total of $775,OO0 a year.
And in addition to this privilege tax.
they would also be faced with the
likelihood of paying much higher in
come, corporations income and fran
chise taxes than they are paying at
the present time, since DR.. Mcdonald
is proposing to increase all these other
taxes. His new tax may prove "wel-
come relief" to the merchants, as Dr.
Mcdonald predicted. But there are
some who doubt it.

wholesale and retail business done in
North Carolina are also convinced
that the smaller merchants would not
be able to pass the tax along to their
customers in the form of increased
prices, but that the larger merchants
and chain stores would be able to pass
it on, with the result that it would
work a decided hardship on the small
Ter merchants and eventually put
many Of them out of business. Under
the sales tax law, the sales tax must
be passed on to the purchaser by large
and small merchants alike. So under
the new mercantile tax as advocated
by Mcdonald the large chain stores
would be given a decided advantage
over the smaller stores, it is main
tanned.

How the Tax Works.

The Virginia tax, however, If ap-
piled in North Carolina, would require
every one of the $4,000 merchants in
the State to pay minimum tax of
$40 if his gross business was less than
$1,000 for the year and Of $40 If his
gross business was more than $1,000
or less than $4,000 year, accord
ing to the Virginia act. In addition,
the act imposes a tax of Is cents on
each $10O of gross revenue in excess
of $4,000 Thus the tax on the first
$1,000 of gross revenue or fraction
thereof is one percent, and is another
one percent on all gross revenue be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000, with a rate of
Observation-Disclosures of one per cent
