TAX HIKE ON CIGARETTES EFFECTIVE NOV. l

Collector of Internal Revenue
 Clark Squire issued a statement
 last week calling the attention of
 manufacturers and importers of,
 and wholesale and retail dealers
 in, small cigarettes Gncluding
 the standard and so-called king
 Sizes), to the fact that the Rev
 enue Act of 1851 provides for
 an increase in the rate of the
 Federal tax on small cigarettes
 from $50 to $4.00 per thou sand, effective November 1, 1851.
 The act also imposes a floor
 stocks tax of fifty cents per thou sand (equal to l cent on each standard package of tWenty) on all stamped GaX paid small cigarettes hCld by manufactur- CTS, importers. dealers, and other persons, for sale at the first mo- ment of November 1, the day on which the Increase became eff fectiVe
 The collector emphasized the need for every manufacturer, importer and wholesale and re- tail dealer, to take an actual in ventory of all stamped small cigarettes on hand at the first moment of November 1, in order to prepare and file with the col lector's office a return and in ventory covering the tax due.
 The floor stocks tax return and inventory forms, Form 187, Revised, prescribed for the use of wholesale and retail dealers, and Form 198, Revised, prescrib- ed for use of manufacturers and importers were in the hands of the printers and efforts were be- ing made to have these forms delivered to collectors of inter nal revenue in time for diStribu tion to manufacturers, import CTS, and wholesale and retail dealers by November l. Every person liable to file return and pay floor stocks tax on small cigarettes who does not receive the forms from the collectors office by mail within the next week should apply at his nearest internal revenue office for the forms. The Act re- quires complete and accurate floor stocks tax return to be filed and tax paid to the Col lectOr of Internal Revenue, Ia Washington, on or before December 31, 1851.
 Collector Squire also empha- sized the importance for every manufacturer, importer and dealer to keep copy of the floor stocks tax return and inventory filed by him, as we'll as any other records show ing the details of the inventory, and how and by whom it was .aken, and other information suf- tlcient to enable the collector to determine whether the correct amount of floor tax has been re- ported and paid.

HYDE HUNTING
BILL AROUSES
MUCH INTEREST

A bill before the House to pro-
hibit hunting with dogs by nom
residents without being accom-
panied by a resident guide in Hyde
County, introduced by Rep. Swim
dell of Hyde has aroused great in
terest in the state, and at hear
ing in Raleigh Tuesday, nearly
$50 people were present. Strong
opposition to the bill came from
many parts of the state, although
there was support for it from the
mountain sections.
Rep. Swindell declares the bill
is aimed at breaking up the reck-
less practices of hunters who a.
buse their rights and slaughter
not only does, but livestock of the
farmers as well. From this angle,
the purposes of the bill is good
and probably stems out of the lack
of enforcement which sometimes
begins with lack of prosecution
and often with lack of cooperation
on the part of the courts.
The hearing Tuesday was some
what heated. Considerable resent
ment was aroused in Hyde Coun-
ty, where Rep. Swindell is strong
ly backed, by a statement attribu-
ted to Rep. Frank M. Fitzpatrick
of Pitt County that at is just a
bill to give all those buns in Hyde
County a job" Although Rep.
Fitzpatrick denied he made any
such statement to Greenville re-
porter, the effect had already been
to 'edcuse the Hyde County people
to rally to the cause of Mr.. Swim
dell.
The bill has been referred to
a subcommittee consisting of
Reps. Swindell, Green of Moore,
White of Chowan, Blue of Moore
and Carr of Duplin.

HYDE COUNTY FEATURED

A leading feature article in
"The State" of Raleigh last week
had to do with interesting Hyde
County. The article by Gertrude
Carraway was illustrated with
pictures of the harbor at Swan
Quarter, and steamer making it's
way down the Inland Waterway.
1t also carried a picture of Mat
tamuskeet Lodge, the hotel oper-
ated at the Lake by Arson Smith,
and of the Octagonal House near
Lake Landing.
During the past ten years there
have been many features about
Hyde County in The State, which
has done so much to better ad-
vertise eastern North Carolina.

CHAPTER XVII

She took the stool farthest from
the entrance and closest to the
kitchen. But she could not force her
eyes away from the door. Soon it
would open, it must open. But she
could not picture nor even surmise
who it was that would appear in
the opening.
Give US some coffee" Carol
said listlessly to the cook and sat
down on the stool next to Dorinda.
She put her elbows on the counter
and rested her chin in her cupped
hands. Her glance did not even
shift to the front of the building.
Minutes passed. The door did not
open. Perhaps, Dorinda reflected,
her pulse quickening, whoever was
outside intended to wait until they
came back to their car.
AS if invoked by her unvoiced
demand, she heard the click of the
latch. The door swung open and
black-coated figure stood framed
there, dark hat pulled down over
his white face.
Uncle Edward" Dorinda gasped
and, without reason, felt her ten
sion slacken. She did not know who
it was she had expected. But at
least it had not been Edward.
He did not look at Carol but came
straight toward Dorinda.
MY poor child" he said. His
voice was raw and strained, its
unctuous quality gone, banished by
some impelling emotion she could
not name.
He put one soft white hand under
her chin, fitting her face up toward
his so that she looked into his eyes.
"Dorinda, thank heaven I've found
you. l never thought you'd run
away from me, my dear. You don't
know what you're doing"
81 had to CO." she told him quick
ly, the words tangled on her lips.
Someone there-back in that house
wants to kill me. Someone tried
last night"
Last night" His eyes narrowed.
'You didn't tell me that"
IT didn't have chance. Someone
was waiting in my room when l got
home. Whoever it was struck me.
Carol found me. She thought I'd
fallen and hit my head. But / know
that isn't true. And tonight"
