7... 1 M Chatham' JJcrw. THUJiSDAY, Al'JHL 2, 18U1. H. A, LONDON, Editor. Inco.-.ik tux will probably bo paid in North Carolina this year. This vtatemcnt may seem strange 'In view of tlio recent alarm and ap-jiroh- i-k! that h many persons iviisii.1 ii '.ro to pay such a tax. I'ren rcr Uain lias construed the refit him and machinery bill.-; ol tiie fate I -tiat i. ro in such a maimer as to give great Kitistaetion and afford iiuieli relief to thousands ot persona who bad expected to pay ?hi much discussed income tax. Whether or not tlio Treasurer's con struction of ilie law is correct is raetically inimatoriul, because thei o will be no appeal from it. Certainly the taxpayers will not appeal irom h'lH decision, as it is in their favor, ud the Sluto will hardly appeal from or test the correctness ol its 4'rcasurer's construction of the law to raise revenue. Although tho revenue bill allows no oxcrnptv ns from tho tax on in comes, except ini-omen from property that is tax-.d, yet the Treasurer decides tha, as the taxpayer is re quired by t:.o machinery act to list for taxation only his "net income" lie iiood not pay tax on any income except thai, remaining over and itbure all expenses. He construes 1net" ineo o to bo the surplus ro niai.iitig i.i.er paving all ex. 'puses. As very to"- persons have any such surplus, or "not" income, there will bo prei ioi s Utile income tax paid !his year i i North Carolina ! Wo wis:, that such a construction of the law had been given tho same wot ! j i t.hi l is, -net income ") years ago, lor they have becu in every machiner hill for many years past, even wh-.n 61. 'Mm were expressly exempted '1'hv a'.' rage reader will no doubt be somewhat puzzled to understand how ;t i .hat a smaller tax will be collected ' ii incomes under a revei.uc lw that allows I. L.LXH'i'ion, than snder our lormer revcimo laws which c "in pled one thousand dol lars'. I- 'his really what our legis lators inl mied? It is no imma terial wl. ihcr it is, or is no;. A Wo.MiKBFt'L walk was coniple fed l)J' a woman last week. The distance walked is 3,'.W5 miles, from 3an Trinci'sco to New York, and the time .s 2 IT) days L ist sum mer a wa 'cr of 812."iO was made that ati ..ctrcs named .oe Clayton rould not wail; troui San Francisco to New Voil; in 22il days, and 0! tho 27th of August she started out on her long tramp and arrived al New York on last Friday. She was accompanied by two men and a doi;, ami for most of the journey she f I kiwod L i;o railroads, walking on the tracks. Sl.o wore out five pairs ot shoes o.i the journey, and w hen she arrirsd ul New York her iect and iiu bs wore swollen to twice their normal si.o and she was threatened with nervous prosi ration. Theinon ?v ($12,'"' was promptly paid over "sr. and "us no doubt will be a poedy and healing balm to refresh ier weariou body. Wha. .icxl? Tut F.xEi t ii vi; Committee 'he Slato Aiiiancu held a meeting at Raleigh last wool; and elected Cap I. W. S. JJarucs, ol Wilson county, secret.. ry ot the State Alliance in place of I Mr. K. C.
