“Stonewall*' Jackson, ipilitary heroes
of the South, home of Washington
and Lee I'niversity and V. M. 1..
Lexington. Va„ holds a peculiar at
traction for thousands of tourists an-
Httally.
Perhaps the greatest attraction of
Lexington is the tomb of Lee in the
historic Lee memorial chapel on the
campus of. the university bearing his
name. During the past year, more
than 25.000 persons have resigtered
in the book kept there for the pur
pose. In the month of August, more
than 8.000 registered. The registra
tion book shows that tourists come
from all sections of the country.
Many prominent names are listed
there.
T’ae chapel is a simple brick struc
ture. icy-covered, across the sloping
campus from the white-columned
buildings. It was designed by Gen
eral Lee, in 1807, while president of
the university. Since his death, it
has been enlarged, and now holds a
collection of valuable paintings, the
office of General Lee preserved as it
was in his time, a recumbent statue
of him by Valentine, and a mausoleum
containing the remains of General
Lee and his immediate family. It
will seat more than 000 persons, and
was used in the past for general uni
versity gatherings, but with the
growth of Washington and Lee this
has been almost discontinued.
In a recess at the back of the chap
el, visible from the body of the au
ditor iuin, is the recumbent statue of
General Lee. designed from life by
5 the Virginia sculptor, Valentine. Work
’ on it was begun in 1870, the last year
of General Lee's life, the artist eare
* fully making facial measurements.
' Approved by General Lee. and de
clared to be a masterpiece, the statue
forms an impdessive sight when view
ed from the body of the chapel.
f As one goes through the chapel!
with Mrs. A. S. Edwards, custodian. I
about twenty painting are pointed out!
* on the walls. Some of these are
‘ valued at more than $50,000 each.
r At the left of the entrance to the
statue reces is the‘first picture ever
painted of George Washington. It
7 shows him in the uniform of a Brit
ish colonial colonel. The artist is
Charles Wilson Peale, father of Item
brant Peale, and usually known as
* the elder Peale. The painting is 42
by 51 inches. It is one of the most
J valuable of the collection. Mrs. Ed
wards tells observers. It was pre
sented to Washington and Leo Uni
* versity by General G. W. C. Lee.
Among other pictures which attract
l attention, hanging on either side of
the reces entrance, are painting of
{ General Lafayette and an original of
George Washington by Gilbert Stuart.
The painting of Lafayette is also by
the elder Peale, done in 1770. It
■ was painted for George Washington,
and was probably presented to him by
General Lafayette, it is said at the
university. It is 41 to 40 inches.

’ 1 INCOME AND OUTGO.
• Chnrlotte Observer.
i Arrives the New Year and the
• facing by the people of tlie annual
worry—the figuring up of the income
tax. For that is a worry that grows
no smaller the further we get away
from the wnr that caused it. As us
ual the returns of 11)25 must be filed
with the Collector of Internal Reve
nue “not later than Alarch 15.” The
people have to pay tribute both to
• the National Government and to the
Government of their State. The State
laws vary, and it is first bast to ex
plain the difference between the in
come tax laws of North Carolina
and the income tax laws of the Gov
ernment. The facts uikui which this
editorial is based are provided by the
local accounting firm of Scott.
Charnley & Co., which has compiled
a pamphlet for the convenience of
the public. The laws of the State do
not permit corporations to carry
net losses forward. Profit on sale of
property taxable by the State is lim
ited to the difference between Jan.
1, 1921, value and sales price. The
state laws do not allow setting up of
value and the sales price. The State
laws do not- allow the setting up of
a reserve for bad debts and there
may be deducted in the Sate return
for the year 1925, "only such bad
debts as are known to be losses and
properly charged off on the books of
account.” Installment businesses may
not report for State tnx purposes on
on unrealized profit basis. Dividends
from North Carolina corporations
are not taxable, nor is interest on
Government or North Carolina State
indebtedness. Contributions are
limited to 15 per cent of the income
taxable by the State. In the Stiite
corporations imy four per cent; in
dividuals pay one and one-quarter
per cent on the first $2,500; two per
cent on $2,500 to $5,000, and so on
up to five per cent on all over $15,-
000. There is no exemption for cor
porations. The single individual
gets exemption of $1,000; mar
ried individuals, $2,000; wife and
separate income, $1,000; dependents,
each, S2OO.
The Federal law permits exemp
tions of S4OO for each dependent;
$2,500 for heads of families; $2,500
for married persons and SI,OOO tar
single persons. The normal tax is
the same as last year, starting at
(two per cent exemption on the first
$4,000 in excess of exemptions and
| credits. The pay of State aad muni
cipal employes is not taxable. An
important point is that actual losses
suffered after January 1, 1923, may
be carried forward and deducted
from the net income of the next two
successive years.
Specified taxes imposed by the
Revenue Act of 1924, provide—
For the year 1925 the rates of es
tate tax range from 1 per i cent on
the first $50,000 above the exemption
to 40 per cent of. the amount by
which the estate exceeds $10,000,000.
There is an exemption allowed of
$50,000 and no return is required

the president's office was in the chap
el. thougf) the incumbent. Dr. H. L. ] I

his death. <
On the main floor of the chapel j
Caere are several tablets; two of the i
more prominent nre those dedicated to 1
the Liberty Hall volunteers and to |
Charles Francis Adams.
During General Lee's term as pres- «
ident of Washington College, he add
ed many new department®, nmong
I which were a school of commerce and
a school of journalism, said to be the
first of their kind in the country. A
distinguished associate said of him;
, | "He was the best college president
I this country has ever produced."
I A little known circumstance iscon-
I! nected with his acceptance of- the
j presidency.
j At the close of the war he was of
. sered the presidency of a large east
ern corporation. Another offer was
-of an estate abroad. The last was
■ to be president of Washington Cot
: lege.
Edward C. Gordon, proctor, stated
i that the coming of General Lee re
. suited from Colonel Bolivar Christian
i overhearing a remark of Generali
! Lee’s eldest daughter, who said:
t “The people of the South are offer
. ing my father everything but work.
. and work is the only thing he will
. accept at their hands.”
Later, at a meeting of the Wash
ington College trustees. Colonel Clirifi
f tinn brought the matter to their at-
F tention. nnd Judge Brockenbrough,
F then rector of the bonrd, rode across
. country to inform General Lee off the
' offer.
“I have led the young men of the
. South in battle; I have seen many of
' them die on the field," said General
' Lee in accepting the i>ost. "I shall
now devote myself to training men to
■ do their duty in life.”
and a return must be filed in the
event more than $30,000 has been *
given away during the taxable year.
This tax is applicable from January
1. 1024. Gifts of less than S3OO to
any one iierson nre not taxable.
The capital tax at the rate of $1
per SI,OOO of the fnir value of the
capital stock of corporations in ex
cess of $3,000 is continued for the
year 1025. The return must be filed
during July.
he Stamp tax continues in force
for the year 1025 and at least until j
a new Revenue is passed. The I
place that people will come in con- I
tact with this form of taxation is in I
the sale or transfer of capital j
stock, the rate being five cents per I
SIOO on a new issue and two cents I
per SIOO on a transfer. Bonds arc I
also taxed at five cents per SIOO nnd I
a conveyance of real c«tate 50 cents j
on each SSOO valuation.
The Admission Tax is still in ex- I
istence and is at the rate of 10 per ]
cent. However, where the admission I
is 50 cents or less there is no tax. [
For the year 1025 the tax on the I
sale or lease of automobiles, fire- I
arms, cameras.and various similar I
articles is continued.
Interest received on State or inu- I
nicipal securities is not taxable: I
There is no tax on Liberty bond in- 1
terest unless the amount of bonds f
held exceeds $50,000.
Interest, or dividends received from I
Mutual Building and Loan Associa- I*
tions not in excess og S3OO is not |
taxable.
Profit on the wile of property a*- II
quired and held by the taxpayer as H
an investment for more than two J
years may not be taxed more than 1
12 1-2 per cent. Likewise the deduc- J
tion in tax on account of a capital
loss is limited to 12 1-2 per cent of
such loss. The law makes a dis
tinction as to “Earned Net Income”
which is defined as wages, salaries, 1
professional fees uml other amounts
received for personal services in ex- i
