WIRING OF RURAL
HOMES IMPORTANT

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. 49,
Inc rapidly expanding network OF
rural power lines in North Carolina
has brought a new problem to many
farm families-that of wiring theil
homes.
D. E. Jones, rural identification spe-
cialist at State College, declared to-
day that that the only way the new
customer will get the fullest benefit
from power lines is to have his home
wired adequately and properly.
He warned against home owners at
tempting to do the job themselves or
allowing "jack-leg" electricians to do
the work. Only skilled electricians are
fitted to do a wiring job that will pro-
vide satisfaction and safety.
'"The safety factor is highly impor-
tant,' Jones said. 1.-THE difference in
price between safe and unsafe wir-
ing is too small to enter the picture
but the results of unsafe wiring are
too serious to be ignored.

Wake Forest, Feb. 14-When the
basketball teams of Davidson and
Wake Forest meet here Monday night,
the two hard luck teams of the South
ern Conference will be brought togeth-
er. The Cats, in particular, have lost
some heart breakers, losing to Caro-

heartbreaking defeats, having not
been beaten by greater margin than
nine points all season.
Against Davidson, the Deacons will
be up against the same problem they
have faced all season. In Iverson and
Cowan, the PresIbyterians will have a
considerable height advantage, the
lack of which Wake Forest has felt
keenly all year.

MOTORISTS CAN GET
CREDIT ON GAS TAX
Allowances Permissible in
Making Out Returns
On 1897 Incomes

Charlotte, Feb. 14.-When making
out Federal income tax returns
North Carolina motorists can deduct
money paid out in State gasoline and
registration taxes, Coleman w. Rob-
erts, president of the Carolina Motor
Club declared today. South Carolina
motorists cannot deduct the gasoline
aaxes.
Although North Carolinians may de-
duct every penny paid the State in
the form of registration and other
special fees, including taxes paid
while travelling through all but 10
states, from their Federal returns
there are no deductions permitted on
these items on State income tax re-
turns.
Even on Federal returns motorists
may not deduct Federal gas taxes or
other Federal excise levies.
Exemptions and deductions \ are
much the same as before, Mr.. Rob
erts said. Owners and operators OF
motor vehicles may deduct taxes paid
uncompensated loss to their vehicles
interest on financed loans, and ex
penses incidental to the actual bust
ness use of vehicles, subject to iron
clad restrictions and possible review
by the collector of internal revenue
Even though the State of North
Carolina will not permit the deduc-
ton on State income tax returns
fleet owners of passenger cars ano
trucks in the State will save thous-
ands of dollars by taking the state
gasoline registration, sales tax, drlv-
ers licenses, and other Speclai Tees
off their Federal returns, the caro-
lima Motor Club points out. Last year
there were nearly 100000 vehicles re-
eistered in North Carolina and gaso-
line tax collections set a new peak:
Full deduction may be mace. loi
the following items, according 70 tiie
Carolina Motor Club: -. -.
(a) Registration fees paid py the
taxpayer. ;a -,
Cb) Operators license fees PAID Dy

,oan,hors If his family if he foots the
bills. ;, :,
states where local laws impose tnese
taxes directly on the purchaser ano
! rot on the dealer. Deduction may %
roade for fuel taxes paid in NORTH
| Carolina.
Id1 Loss by accident is deductible
o,,cen+ when the owner has been com
na,sated for the loss. This applies on,
:, ~ damage sustained during 1897
,aga rdless of whether proper credi
,vas taken in making the return fol

total or partial loss by fire or theft
ar even such loss as damage by

binary and necessary repairs. Tota
loss is fixed at the market value O.

debtedness, including finance com
pany loans. Consult your finance COM
pany for the exact rate of interest.
No other deductions are allowed to
a taxpayer who uses his car for pleas
ure purposes only. No credit may be
taken for operating expenses unless
the car is used in business
Vehicles operated entirely or in part
in the business of the owner entitle
him to certain additional credits.
These deductions may be grouped un-
der one head as Expenses paid" and
titled tomObile-business use", and
deducted from the total amount of
income declared. If the taxpayer re-
ceives an expense account from his
employer for the use of his car in bus
mess, the total declared income for
the year must include this figure.
If the vehicle is used partly for
please, the taxpayer may deduct as
business use" the proper proportion
of his total operating expense. Thus,
if the car is used for business 80 per-
cent of the time, he may take credit
for 80 per cent Of the total operating
expense for 1887. Proper items for con
sideration under this include:
Cd Operating cost. covering ia) full
cost of fuel, CD :nainte nance, and re-
pair costs, Co garage rent, Cd instr
ance premiums (netl, and (e) motor
club dues. In states where he fuel
tax may not be deducted as tax, the
price is included in the cost uf fuel.
ca Depreciation is allowed on some
reasonable basis. Precise defin,tion Of
this item is difficult. TO be most ac-
curate, it would oc necessary to de-
termine the exact market value at the
oc.'illning and at the emf OF me year,
1897, and deduct the difference. On the
theory that the average motor vehicle
has a disable life of four years, a de-
duction of rs percent of the list price
is considered reasonable for pleasure
cars. Allowances of 10 to 80 percent
may be accepted on trucks.
(3) Loss in trade on a new car if
any. If owner receives less for his old
car in trade than its market value at
time of same, he may take proper Gre
dit for the balance. provided both cars
are used in his business
Acquiring title to vehicle by pur-
chase. Gift or inheritance does not
constitute income. But if title is re-
ceived in consideration of services
rendered or as prize in competition
or in lottery, it must be declared un
der Income"
Federal manufacturers taxes are
levied on the manufacturer and may
not he deducted by purchaser, even
though he pays for them in the price
IF his car. Sales tax levied directly
an purchaser is deductible under
Taxes"
These rules apply only to the Fed
eroi income tax return for 1887, ano
do not apply to your state income ta1
law.

TESTING OF FLOWER
SEEDS IMPORTANT

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. ID
New seed catalogs, gorgeous with
color and variety, have provided tn F.,
spark that sets on fire the magma
ton of flower lovers at this time of
the year, j. G. Weaver, floriculturist
at State College, said today.
However, before ordering seed that
will produce the summer flower gar
den, one should keep several points in
mind, Weaver said. Too many Of the
new novelties or so-called "All-Amer-
ican' selections should be avoided un
til they have been tested locally.
If the gardener would like to try
them, he should buy only a small a
mount A few that can be recommend
ed are Sensation Pinkie" cosmos,
chlysanthemum flowered marigold,
and Salmon Supreme" petunia.
One of the most common mistakes
that many people make is that of get
ting mixtures of seed. In mixed seed,
many off colors and poor type flow
ers will re found.

Adoo said. He read from a section of
the act which would permit the secre-
tary of agriculture to identify farm
products that could move in CONNER
cial channels free from penalties.
"This bureaucratic control will be
offensive to the freemen who live on

their resentment"

every colored farmer in the Perry

will plant treated cotton seed this
year. Last year w. F. Watson, a Ne

cided to treat some of his seed before
planting. When he harvested his cot

treated seed was of a higher quality
and that his yield was better. Also the
market paid him a premium.
The news travelled around, and now

seed, according to C. S. Wynn, Negro
