THE ALAMANCE GLEAN ER. VOL. XLYII * Senator Simmons Will Vote Against Confirmation of Linney On Ground That He Undertook to Mislead the Voters or is Trying to Mislead The Senate—Judge Connor Makes Bankrupt Order. FOUR KILLED SUNDAY BY AUTOS. ■ * ' N ■. -*■ How Accidents Happened—Capital Stgck Tax Re- T turns Must be in by July 31 st—Encamp ment Ended at Morehead Sunday. (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, July 26.—Evidence that the State Guardsmen have broken camp at Camp Glenn was furnished here Monday when Company K of Mount Gilead btopped over in Raleigh as the guest of thy local service com pany and participated in a par ade. The first train load of sol diers left llorehead City Sunday afternoon and the work of en campment' ended. The grand finale of social events was the Saturday night dance at the At lantic Hotel, which ended, un der order, at 11 o'clock. Counter Proposals on Rate Decision. Six traffic representatives of commercial organizations, with rate expert W. G. Womble, of the North Carolina Corporation Commission, went to Washington early this week to prepare coun ter-proposals to the revision of western and Virginia cities rates, suggested by the railroads, in view of the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The committee was appointed at a conference of shippers of thp State held in Raleigh Saturday. The railroad people are under stood to have worked out a sched ule increasing the western rate fifty cents per hundred on first class hauls from Cincinnati to North Carolina points, and will submit this to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The rate experts will file another schedule. Linney Confirmation. The news comes from Washing ton that Senator Simmons, accord ing to his statement given outthia week, will oppose the confirma tion of Frank A. Linney, nomi nated to be U. S. District Attor ney for the"Western North Caro lina district, which is expected to come up in executive session any day soon. A cotrespondent at Washington says: V ' » "In this matter the position of Senator Simmons is understood to be that while he does not question Mr. Linney's ability as a lawyer or his character as a man, still he will vote against him because it is clear to the Senator's mind that Mr. Linney as chairman of the Republican party in North Caro lina either undertook to mislead the voters of the State or in his testimony before the Senate Com mittee he is seeking to mislead the Senate as to the position bis party took on the negro question in the North Carolina campaign in 1920." |New Bankrupt Caae Order. Declaring that "the appoint ment of a receiver before adjudi cation frequently works injustice to the alleged bankrupt and credi tors and always involves expense to (he State," Judge Henry G. Connor, in Uiiited States District Court, has made an order requir ing more detailed information in affidavits setting forth the neces sity for receivership. l>eath In Feckless Driving Autos. \ Four men were killed instantly, and five more or less seriously in jured in two automobile crashes within a radius of 30 miles of Raleigh Sunday. H. L. Jones and S. B. ITutchins of Norfolk were instantly killed shortly after piidnight when their car turned over on a railroad crossing three miles north of Franklinton, and Charles E. Martin and Ralph Webster, both of Durham, were instantiy killed, and five other Durham men were injured when a touring car somersaulted with them near University Station, 12 miles west of Durham. An oblique turn across the Sea board trucks north of Franklin ton, a driver unfamiliar with the road, and a car too long to nego tiate the turn at any but low speed caused the death of Jones and Hutchins. Taking the ditch to pass a car that declined to surrender half the road brought disaster to the Durha,m automobile, with the death of two men and injury of five others. From Spencer came- news of another smash in which members of two leading families were in jured in a crash resulting when a third car backed suddenly away from the curbing and jammed traffic. Neither of the casualties in this ense were fatal, but five people were sent to the hospital and two automobiles smashed. Laat Day of Tax Return* July 31. July 31st is the last day for filing returns on the capital stock tax and returns must be in the hands of collectors of internal re venue on or before midnight of that date, according to a state ment issued yesterday by J. W. Bailey, Collector of Interual Re venue. Blank forms are available at the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue. Form 707 is requirded for domestic and 708 for foreign corporations. "The capital stock tax is a special excise tax imposed on corporations with respect to carrying on or doing business.' The tax,on domestic corporations is $1 for each SI,OOO or so much of the fair average value of its capital stock for the preceding - year end ing June 30th, as is in excess of of $3,000. Foreign corporations are required to pay a tax at the rate of $1 for eace SI,OOO of their capital employed in the transac tion of business in the United States withont the benefit of the $5,000 deduction. The tax is payable in advance, filed in July of this year covering the taxable year, beginning Jnly 1, 1921, and ending July 30, 1922. "The Bureau of Internal Reve nue estimates that approximate ly 325,000 suah returns will be filed, and that the amomot of revenue collected from this GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. JULY 28. 1921 source will be approximately $90,1)00,000. "Returns are required of every domestic corporation regardless of the par value of its capital stock, and of every foreign cor poration irrespective of the amount of capital employed in i this conntry in the transaction of its business. Certain corporations not organized for profit are ex empt from capital stock tax. The class ot organizations entitled to the exemption is described in regulations 59, revised copies of which may be obtained at the office of Collector J. W. Bailey, Raleigh, N. C. "Corporations claiming exemp tions are required to file returns setting forth their reasons for such claims, accompanied by evi dence in support thereof. "If, because of lack of com plete data or other reasons than illness or absence, it is impossible to file a complete return on or be fore July 31, a tentative return may be filed, reporting the ap proximate fair value in order that an initial assessment may be made, thus avoiding penalty. "The penalty for failure to file a return within the time prescrib ed is an added assessment of 25 per cent of the amount due unless it is shown that the failure was due to reasonable cause and not to neglect. " "In addition to the added as sessment a fine of not more than SI,OOO is provided for failue to make a return on time. For wil ful refusal to make a return, wilful evasion of the tax, wilful refusal to supply information requested by the commissioner, or attempt ing in any way to evade the tax and payment when due, the pen alty is a fine of not more than SIO,OOO or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. "With a view to the prompt collection of the capital stock tax, and for the convenience of the tax-payer as well as the Govern ment, the bureau suggests that corporations submit cheeks with the returns for the amount of tax due. This method is appealing to corporations as it lessens lia bility to penally." BIG INCREASE OF PREPARED TEACHERS. Original Folk PiayS—Colsolidated Schools Must Replace One- Teacher Schools. Cor. of The Gleaner. Chapel Hill, N. G\, July 2G.— With addresses by Dr. C. E. Brooks and Professor Loe L. Driver, director of the bureau of education for the State of Penn sylvania, two performances of original folk plays by the Caro lina Plajjinakers, and two musi cales, wiph artists from a distance assisting, the fourth week of the University summer school held for the student a gre it deal of pleasure and cultural value. Dr. Broks' message to the teach ers was one relative to the State's plan for getting »nd maintaining a prepared profession with ade quate salaries. His figures on the increase during one year of the number of prepared teachers in North Carolina aro wonderfully encouraging. They read for dif ferent grades of teachers as fol lows: 1080b 1091 In creum;. Below Standard 8502 7882 18 pr. ct. Stale Certificate 7491 10241 -*•'» " Iligbest Standard 2808 48(57 85 " Mr. Driver is the highest au thority in America on the consol idated school, having been con verted to the cause, he says, as surely as he was converted to the cause of Christuriiity. In a lec ture illustrated with eighty slides of consolidated and oue room schools, he convinced the six hun dred North Carolina teachers who heard him that the consoli dated schools must replace the one teacher vaViety if the State is UHhake the most of its educa tional opportunities. The Vamp, bj Bill Royal of Qoldsboro; The Miner, by Paul Green of Liilington; and In Dix on's Kitchen, by Wilbur Stout of Burlington, made np one of the beet bills of ortglual folk plays ever presented here by Professor Frederick H Koch aijd his corps of Piaymakere. Iu order to aoco inodate the audiences two per formances were given 'iu the Chapel Hill Playhouse. On Thursday and Friday even ings Mr. John Paul WYaver di rected two inusieales when the summer school chorus sang a mixed program and 11 Trovatore. The priucipal solo parts were sung by Mrs. James Price, mezzo soprano and Mr. Troxel, all of New York# On Friday at Chapel, the 1100 students of the school weut def initely on record as iu favor of the programs of the State Depart ment of Education and Public Welfare. Defiuite resolutions were adopted urging the main tenance of"the present salary schedule for teachers, and the ex pansion of work iu the field of public welfare. » HOME ELECTRIC PLANTS. Streams That Will* Afford Two Horsepower Can be Used for Light ing Homes and Doing Other Farm Jobs—Extension Farm Engineer Will Advise You. [JnlooU two horsepower can be developed from small streams, home electric plauts from water power are not practical, accord nir to investigations made in North Carolina by E. It. Raney, Farm Engineer of the Agricultural E\- tension Service. Many requests for assistance in deve'eping home electric water power plants have been received by Mr. lianey during the past year, but in most cases investiga tions revealed that such plants were impractical because there was not enough water and fall, or the plants would have to be lo cated so far from houses that the cost of wire would be prohib itive. No two piopositions are exactly the same, because conditions always vary, states Mr. Itauey, in telling about small home plauts. Four hundred gallons of water per minute falling 10 feet is equivalent to one horsepower. Tlie amount of water or fall may be varied one way or the oilier, but will trive the same results. For example, 200 gallons of water per minute falling 20 feet is equivalent to oue horsepower, or 800 gallons of water per minute fatting 5 feet would be the same thing. Where there is a small stream with water and fall giving the equivalent of two horsepower, located near the home, an elec trie lighting plant sufficient in size to light one home and operate An electric iron, as well as other small motors could be installed This same plant would furnish lights for two homes, if the small motor were not used. Where the streams are of suf ficient size, these plants could be made to furnish electricity for lighting small communities, and operating motors for doing small jobs. interesting in develp ing propositions of this kind can get information regarding their particular cases by getting in tonch with E. R. Itaney, Exten sion Farm Engineer, Raleigh, N. C. FAIR EXCHANGE A Sow Hark lor aa Old One. flow It Can be Done In Graham.

No use to rub or app y a planter to the luck if th» kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. Graham residents would do well to profit by the following example. ' W. T. Jeffreys, Burlington, N.

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER Europe, Exhausted by War, Must Yield First Place In Medical and Burglcal Supremacy. World leadership In medicine and snrgery no longer Is In Europe, but hus been transferred to the United Suites, 'as one of the results of wur, so Dr. George W. Crlle of Cleveland stuted In his address to the American College of Surgeons In convention at St. Louis recently, says the Ohio State Journal. This country made enor mous contributions In all branches of medicine and surgery during the war* he pointed out, being particularly well equipped to render that Important service becuuse of the research and development w?rk that have been so conspicuous In the field of scientific medicine here during the last quarter of u ci-ntury. With the end of the war European nations are exhausted and have lim ited resources and little of spirit to go ahead with that important work, while this country has resources with out limit and spirit equal to the op portunity. Europe Is all topsyturvy, Its famous old medical schools are shaken, Its great hospitals are ex hausted, Its professional life shocked and wearied. Doctor Crlle states the situation with marked distinctness when he says: "The torch, all but gone out, has been handed us because we alone are left the means to light the way." It was his thought that the medical schools and research Institu tions of the land be supplied with every resource, their work broadened and requirements raised, that the World war opportunity may be devel oped and the problems of the future met successfully. YEARS TOLD THEIR OWN TALE In Her Plenitude Proud Beauty Felt the Saddening Approach of Old Age. Mercedes took a perfumed both, steamed her face, dashed cold water on It, then massaged it; then she lay down and relaxed for an hour. After that she manicured her nulls, rubbed cold cream Into her face, added powder and rouge, then a little more powder, arranged her permanently waved hair and donned her silken gar ments. She looked at herself long and earnestly, turning slowly around be fore the long pier glass. She was welljsatlsfled with herself. She was a trSe larger, rather mature, but not 'Old looking, not In the least She crossed the ballroom floor, look ing proud and regal. The mothers sighed in envy, the young society buds trembled In affright, and the women of her own age felt very old and faded. The men one by one gathered around her. One of the youngest set came up, and she thought him callow and crude; a ladles' man of her father's age drew near and she thought hl/n silly and childish; a man Just old enough for her, rich, talented and suc cessful, showed his admiration of her, but she thought htm % concelted and tiresome. She stood before tlie pier glass again. She looked young and she wss beautiful —but all men bored her. She knew she was old. —Kathertne Negley, In Judge. Biameee Love Motion Pictures. The Siamese love tlie "movies." They flock to Bangkok's motion picture theaters. In each of these theaters there Is s roysl dais, with a chulr for the king and a table for the royal el* bow and a Jar for the royal spittle (the king does not chew betel nut, but all of his subjects do; so the Jar Is de rlgueur). Tlie king often cutties for tlie premiere of a new picture. Usual ly the film Is a well-worn |\ench or Amerleaif product, which has been broken so often and pieced together so quaintly that following the story becomes an acrobatic feat. The Siamese fellow It eagerly, unmindful of Htru nge.gaps In the plot. But Char lie Chaplin may gambol In vain If the king Is In the theater, for tlie audience turn their backs on the screen to look at royalty. Worth One's Salt. The phrase "not worth his salt," dates back to the time when salt was regu larly doled out to the soldier as part of his pay, and one's rank was desig nated by his at the table In ref erence to the position.of the salt —mem- bers of the family ami honored guests being placed above the salt, while re tainers and servants sat below !C The Arab considers as saiTed the guest who has partaken of his salt, a custom that mlgbt well be adopted elsewhere. In Africa a handful of salt will pur chase a bride, and while we have all heard of those rare mortals who are worth their weight in gold, or whose price la above rubles, apparently no one In that section has achieved the distinction of being worth bis weight In salt What a tod Lot'* wife would have been to aa AMouM*tei fctagi 1. * - ■— - : STUDI6S ON WALLS OF ROME • Practical Plan to Provide Housing foi . Artists in the Confines of th. Eternal City. An attempt Is being ujade by the I commune of Itome to remedy the studio shortage—whlcb is only one i phase of the general housing crisis— | by the original plan of allotting some j j of the more habitable towers and tur- \ | 6?ts In the ancient city walls to varl i ous artists. Many of these old towers can be , made perfectly habitable, and whet) fitted with electric light and comfort able furniture will provide large and picturesque studios for a number of | painters. The ""master of the wails,"; Slgnor Francesco Kandone, has Insti tuted a selioot of educative art for children In the tower of Bellsarlus. The new artist tenants of the tur rets and towers will have to assume the nominal duty of keepers or cus todians In addition to their responsl-1 blllty as tenants, but this duty will; be only a formal one. Some of • the' "new studios, though they have the dis advantage of being a little distant from the center of the,city, will have fine views.over the Campagna and will form extremely picturesque abodes. A kind of summer house In the Villa Borgliese (the Hyde park of Itome) has been offered to a widely known artist without a studio. —Riving Age j The Sport of Kings. Tenuis wrj ever a distinguished sport, it hus been favored by the no bility. In the recent tournament at Cannes the king of Swedeft and the ex-klng of I'ortugal handled their rack ets with skill and dexterity In mixed doubles with Mile. J.englen and Mrs. ( Bemish for partners. Mile. Lenglenj and King Manuel won tlie first set from Mrs. Bemish and the king of Swe- j den ; In the second King Manuel and Mrs. Henrtsh were defeated by Mile. Lenglen and the king of Sweden. Thus honors were even in that each king! had a victory, though Mrs. Betnish was! twice defeated. —Petit I'arlslen. Ships Long in Service.
