25.000 ESCAPE INCOME
TAX IN NORTH CAROLINA
Increase in Exemptions to Relieve
f Many Former Payee*. -
1 Raleigh. Feb. 15.—The increased
exemptions under the new federal
.tax bill will relieve 25.000 people in
North Carolina from the linyme.t of
an income tax this year. Internal
Collector Gilliam Grissom
estimated today in announcing »thnt
50,000 individual tax return., are
being mailed out with notice of the
SSOO increase in the exemption for
single person* and SI,OOO for fy-ads
|of families.
f » Although the income tax paying
,1 period began January 1. the de
partment held up the individual tax
blanks awaiting definite informa
' tion ns to the extent of the increased
. exemi>tion allowed by the new tax
bill and the new tax rate. A friend
ly letter which Mr. Grissom is en
closing with each tnx blank calls at
tention to the fact that the exemp
tion for a single person U now sl.-
500. whereas last year it was only
SIOOO. and for n married pet-son
$3,500. whereas it was $2,500. ,
Reduced By Half.
Os the 50.000 individuals whose
income is lees than $5,000 the year,
half of them fall within the rlaesifi
ention set up by the increneed ex
eruptions, Mr. Grisson estimated. In
other words. 25,000 who last year,
with the SI,OOO exemption for single
persons nndthe $2,500 exemption for
heads of families, had to pay a tax
will pay none under the greater
exemption*.
All who paid a tnx last year will
get a blank this year, however. Many
people, Mr. Gillian) said, like to file
their returns whether they pay a
tax or not, so that their nann-s
might be on the records- The time
limit for filing returns expires March
15.
Mr. Grissom's letter to the tax
payer, which besides announcing
the greater exemption expresses ap
preciation for the co-oj>cration given
tlie department in the past reads as
follows:
Grissom's Letter.
"This office takes pleasure in send
ing you individual income tax re
turn blank form 1040-A to be made
by those with net income of not more
than $5,000; we beg not only your
proiqpt but immediate atteution.
"IVe also wish to call to your
special attention the larger personal
exemption and the reduced rate of
tax. On line 13. the personal exemp
tion will be $1,500 for a single per
son (formerly only $1,000) and $5.-
500 for a married person (formerly
only $2.500i; pn line 14 'balance
taxable at 2 per cent should be re
duced to read 1 1-2 per cent; on
line 15 'total income tax (2 per cent
of iteml4)' should be reduced to read
1 1-2 ]>er cent of item 14. All other
instructions printed on enclosed
form 1040-A must be observed.
"We wish to take occasion to
thank all tax-payors personally for
the courteous co-operation which
this office has always received at
their hands.
“This friendly aid has enabled (he
district of North Carolina to rt-du, e
the cost of collections more than oqy
half and has made this the most
economical of any district in (he
I'nited States.
"This is the North Carolina spirit
and our success is due to you and
those like you and for this prompt
aid we return our grateful thanks,
with assurance of our desire to serve
you.
"Respectfully.
"GILLUM GRISSOM.

In M afcr of Ralph Reek.
One of the sweeteßt flowers from
our garden is gone. Only three short
years and twenty days hud it been
planted. It was watered with the
dews and blessings of heaven, and
was.growing so sturdy, so bandsotne
and strong. It was too sweet, too
precious to be pierced by the thorns
of this world.
Jesus, in His great love and tender
mercy, looked down and saw it bud
ding here. He uprooted it from our
hearts and gave us a star. But ke
transplanted it in his garden to bloom
and gave it a crown.
The name of this precious flower
was Ralph, the sweet fragrance was
his smiles. Just one glimpse of tbia
flower brought gappines. but now it
is gone. It has faded from our sight
but not from'our memory. Our vi
sion is so plain.
He had pneumonia and suffered
that dreadful pain. But be bore )t
1 very gently, and is pow reaping his
i aweet reward. ,n !
It broke our hearts to give hint
1 up. y*t w# think that it was best, fog

FIELD OK DIAMONDS ’ FOUND?
Discovery of “Sparklers” in Miss
issippi Will Make Henry Ford’s
Millions Look lake Chicken Feed,
Says Report. *
tlkykn, Miss., Fob. 14.'—"Howdy,
millionaire." l’ike county farmers
said as they slapped one another, on
the back today, although refusing to i
get excited over the reported dis
covery of "diamonds” on their farms '
by L. W. Delate), geologist of Chica-
S°-
All day automobiles poured into
the town from neighboring parts of
Mississippi and Louisiana, bringing
hundreds of visitors to see the "find”
which The McComb Daily Enter
prise dec la res, will make "Henry
Ford’s millions look like chicken
feed."
Detand said today drilling opera
tions will begin within the next ten
days. A two-inch (Hire will be drilled
to test the formation. A statement
covering the entire matter will be
given out at Jackson early iu the
week, Deland added.
Dr. Delaud, who has leased more
than 2,700 acres of land, declared
all indications point to a genuine
diamond field, it is supposed to run
from the Louisiana lien iu r. genera'.-
'y northwestern direction for a dfs
tanee of about 11 miles in I’ike
county. The "discovery" was made
known Friday and practically the en
tire city was a bee-hive Friday night.
Although crowds, taking advan
tage of Sunday, milled about the
street- today, no pro]>erty is chang
ing hands and everyone seems to
be "sitting tight." Doubting Thom
ases are still in the majority and
even the most enthused retain their
usual cautiousness.
Tile announcement of Dr. E. N.
Lowe, agate geologist thnt he> in
spected the geologcial formation of
the I’ike county lands several years
ago after a rejaorted “find” and
found a number of beautiful hut
worthless crystals, seems to have
eoo’ed the ardor of a large [tercent
age of the populace. Dr. Delano de
clares tbat\ the stones found several
days ago have tested as blue dia
monds and have bceu sent to Chi
cago for a final test.
“It must be religion' was the
cryptic remark of one Pike county
farmer when informed that some
thing "more precious thau silver and
gold" had been fouuil near the city.
The leases obtain'd by geologist
specify that operations are to begin
within 15 days. Residents of the
community eagerly await events.

New Way to Stop
Night Coughing
Stmpl* Method Brings
Quick Relief
For almost instant relief from hack
ing, irritating, sleep«robbing night
coughing there is a very simple treat
ment which, often with a single dose,
stops all irritation and permits sound
sleep the whole night through. |
I This treatment is based on the pre
scription known as Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Coughs, You simply take j
one teaspoofiful at bed-time and hold
it in the throat fox’ 15 or 20 seconds
before swallowing it The prescription
has a double action, it not only soothes
and heals soreness and irritation, but it
| quickly removes the phlegm and con
gestion which are the real cause of
night coughing. People who have not
sfept well for nights are often surprised
how quickly this simple method checks
coughing ar.d banishes the entire
cough condition completely.
Dr. King’s New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, sore throat, hoarse
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc.
Fine for children as well as grown
ups —no harmful drugs. Economical, j
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon
ful. At all good druggists. Ask for

South CvoKniaa Took Black-
Dnaght For Indigestion, and
Say* He Could Seen Eat
Anything.
Ballentine, 8. a—Mr. W. B.
Boukntght, of this place, gave the
following account of his use of '
Thedford’s Black-Draught.
“Just after I married I had indi
gestion. Working out, I got in the
habit of eating fast, for which l
soon paid by having a tight, bloated
feeling after meals. This made me
very uncomfortable. I would feel
stupid and drowsy, didn’t feel like
working. I was told it was indi
gestion. * Some one recommended
Black-Draught and I took it after
meals. I soon could eat anything
any time.
“I use it for colds and bilious
ness and it Fill knock out a cold
and carry away the bile better and
quicker than any liver medicine I
have ever found.”
Eating (oo fast, too much, or
faulty chewing of your food, often
causes discomfort after meals. A
pinch of Black-Draught, washed
down with a swallow of water, will
help to bring prompt relief. Bloat
ed sensations, eructations, bad
breath ahd other common symptoms
of indigestion have disappeared
hfter Black-Draught has been taken
for several days. NC-164
