Business iu this section of the country ill 1925 would hardly be de • scribed as “booming" by persons liv iug here. The same is probably true - of persons living in other sections of file country if they were asked about 1 business conditions there last year. : Yet. income tax figures show that bus *' incss generally was far better than •the public seemed to realize. Exact figures now available show that the federal government’s incamc tax collections for the Mareh quarter aggregated $490,660,000. This is nearly $60,000 more than was col lected hist year at the substantially higher rates than levied, It is $104),- 000 more than the treasury depart ment estimated would be collected for this quarter. k_ The figures show that the net in f eames of the Citizens and corporu [ tions of the country in 1925 were so. f: much larger Ilian they were iu 1924. | that even at reduced taxation rates, I they produced a much larger revenue. I The figures also show that while I treasury department officials were E aware of the greater prosperity in f - 1925. they were far too conservative f in their estimates, and were more hear j ish tlian on the American wealth- I producing ability. I The first quarter of 1925 has start | ed the year on a good foot, economi | rally. Says a business review by the i National City Bunk of New Y'ork: | . The current statistics reflecting | business activity continue to indicate i a high level of production ami trade. S The volume of checks handled by 5 banks is running higher than ever | before at tins season, anil eyen elimi- I Bating New York City figures as in flueneed too much by financial and |, speculative transactions, the totals j” for the first three weeks of Mareh foot up to 7 per cent, above last year. Railway freight ears loaded between January 1 and Mareh 13. the latest available dale, totaled 10,640,546, or slightly more than a year ago. despite the decrease in coal traffic caused by the strike, and shipments of merchan dise ami miscellaneous fre : glit, includ ing largely manufactured products, gained approximately 3 per cent. Na tion wide reports to the T'nited States Department of Labor reflect the 0011- itinuauce of prosperity in practically full employment in most sections, with at the same time little evidence of any serous labor shrrtxgc. What ever may be said when the final reck oning of the year is made, it is evi dent that the first quarter hfls given « good account of itself. DOES CRIME PAY? L Gerald Chapman has paid with his life , for a lifetime of crime, . He has gone'the way that is! inevitable for the man who insists upon taking the v.Jaw in his own hands! f, J»u case perhaps, iu recent years, 00 amused such -keen interest with the -public. Chapmdn may have been T Just an ordinary criminal, as oue of. „■ -r- - ■ 1 ficer described him, and he may have owed his notoriety to newspaper stor {ies, as the officer also said, but the , fact remains that his fate gripped the public with interest, and newspa pers were eagerly scanned here Tues day by persons who wanted to know > his fate. Society is better off without Chap man. There is no place (in the scheme of life for the man who lives by his wits and his gun. Chapman was 1 known not only as a thief and ban- I 1 dit. He was known as a man who would not hesitate to shoot himself clear of trouble. Sentiment in this case, at least, did not interfere with the delibera tions and actions of a properly eon- I stituted court. Every possible effort was made to save the fife of this j man, yet court officials, from mem ! bers of the Supreme Court of the Cnited States down to the members j of the Connecticut board of pardons refused to intercede in his behalf. We will have less lawlessness if we can maintain such a system. THEY DEMAND RELIEF. Farmers of the corn belt —and they paek a lot of votes — are demanding something defin’te from Congress in regard to the so-called farm relief. A spokesman for these farmers has ser ved notice 011 Congress that something more than a campaign gesture must be made if the voters of his section of the country are to be satisfied. Apparently the Republican leaders are determined to do nothing definite. They must do something, of course, with the Congressional election this i fall, but they are more apt to make a I gesture than enact any helpful bill, j The farmers are on to the scheme, j it seems, and the gesture will not he i enough. The tariff question comes | into the matter since the farmers rare nothing about the tariff unless it serves as an aid to them. They have heard enough about beneficial tariff. What they want now is something that will prove of help. CHARLOTTE Al TO RACES , Definite Sntry of Fourteen Lea (line Drivers Has Been Made. Charlotte. April s.—Denfinite entry I of fourteen leading racing .drivers for fihe '250-mile national ehamnienship I race classic here on May 10th was I announced Saturday night by C. W. i Roberts, general manager of tle Char ! lotto speedway. Six other entires j are permitted by the American Auto iinobi'e Association contest b aid and 'Mr Roberto states that speedway of ficials are endeavoring to eowp'ete this week a full entry list. ’Die four teen already listed 9 r the race her include many names familiar to rae fans in this section and strongly in dieate the fastest race on record. Each rs the three races staged on the local bmvl has witnessed Ihe col lapse of old records, and those in turn'll with racing circles predict even greater increases in speed. Average speeds for the 250 miles established at former races, were: 118.17 mile* I per hour: 121.6 miles per hour and 124.3 miles per hour for the first, second and third events in order These were established by Tommy Milton in the first and third contests, while Earl Cooper, it Will be remem-' bered, set tile paee in the second race. Peter DePaolo. the 1925 champion and winner at Kulfnrd-hy-the-sen. was the first entry here. The champion is a favorite in the Carolina section and while he lias competed in every race held here. he has never finished above fourth place. He will drive his Dusenherg. A second Duesen berg is 011 the entry list, but no driv er lias been named to pilot the ear and there is considerable eonjeetnro on the part of race officials as to who will operate it. Harry Hartz, fiiuoms sprinter. Bob McDonough, I’ete Kreis, Cliff Wood bury, Dave Evans, Frank Eliott and Karl DeVore are scheduled to drive Miller specials. Ralph Hepburn is entered as die pilot of 11 Miller en tered for the Locomobile Company by Earl Cooper. Fred Coiner, Leon Duray, Dr. IV in. E. Shattue. and Nor man K. Batten did not name their mounts in making application for en try. Fred Wagner, veteran starter who has officiated at al! past races in Charlotte, will again wave flags on the start and finish line. Eddie Rickenbfteker will referee the con test. New high records of 130.59 miles per hour for 250 miles, established at Culver City, will be the mark for rac ing drivers to shoot at herie Since the Charlotte bowl is believed to. be the fastest in the country, any new developments must indicate that high speed will be supreme. Bee Myth Explodded. “No x one knows yet whether bees can hear or not. At least 110 one j has ever discovered their hearing ap-1 paratus.” Therefore, says James Hambleton, head of the bee research division of the department of ngri- 1 culture, “you're wasting time when you hnrnmer on a dis'lipau to bring down a swarm of bees.” / “The custom of making a noise when bees swarm stater in England years and years ago for a different rt-ason," says Hambleton. "When a swarm left its home hive and went traveling the man who owned the land where they finally settled would claim them 'as his. The originul owner would protest. The result—a lot of fights and legal battles. “It was finally ruled by I ah- that if a beekeeper saw a swann leaving his place he should ring a bell or hammer on a pau to let his neigh bors know that his bees were in the air and "that fltey ,were his. Through the years this ancient custom' has been twisted into tile belief that noise brings a swarm to earth.*’ Cutler—tls Sirs.

(Continued) Brandon, who was talking with Graydon, turned to meet Eggles ton’s eyes fixed on him with a quiz zical expression In them. Brandon nodded. “Yes,” he observed, "she’ll have many things to say to him, I fancy. For his sake, I hope she, doesn’t say them with a champagne bottle!” The ancient butler, whose ysars had flowed with those of his mas ter, entered noiselessly and went op to the table. "The young lady has arrived, sir,” he announced. There was Instant stillness. All In the room looked inquiringly at the banker, who made a sign to Graydon. The butler went out. A moment later Joanna, suddenly startled by the faces turned toward her, was framed In the doorway. Graydon went up to her and took her hand, gently and led her Into the room. He announced to the -company, stmply: "This Is Joanna!" One by one the Important seeming men pressed upon her. Dazed, bewildered, fighting for some Inkling of understanding, she heard the murmur of words •words, words! Each man took her limp hand and pressed it and said to her—words! They congratulat ed her; they spoke earnest compli ments; they uttered senseless things she couldn’t fathom. And as each one bowed and left her he passed out of the room until, at last, there were only Graydon, Brandon and Eggleston. At BrandonTs lips she saw the old smile hovering—the old smile, but different And she saw the same lights in Eggleston’s eyes she used to detect in them when they sat across the table together. "Please!” she pleaded: “What does It all mean?” Brandon faced her. "It means,” he said, “that things ore going to be straightened out.

He led her to the fireplace and, taking her by the shoulders, turn ed her around so that she faced him. Above her the canvas Imago of the girl la the gold frame looked down. The banker went back to his chair at the table. For a long time neither spoke. Joanna stood almost motionless, her face death ly white. Eggleston gazed at her and she saw that his eyes wan dered from her face to the painting over her head, and then back again. At last, he said: “You money, my dear, was from me. It was I who wae your mys terious benefactor, and It was I who determined that therp shonld be no conditions attached to your gift I wanted to know how you — a girl of today—would go; which way you would turn, if left to your own resources. “ft was because of a silly old man’s romance —a romance of young days when, people have said, young girls were different The one in the painting above yon was she to whom I made my promise that I would make her happy and rich.

I’ve had the whim. In late years, to leave a great deal of It to someone who can carry on, when Tm done, for the girl up there who has carried on with me. But I’ve never had confidence In any of you—any of you young people of these days. I admit I conldji’t understand you. Your friend, and my friend, Gray don, told me I was a fool. He claimed to know yon all —because he knew so many of yon, In the store. He told me of you, of a Miss Twenty-seven, who, he said, recalled to him the painting over my fireplace. Well—-that’s abont all. We decided to try yon out — and we have. I thought It would cost me a million dollars. Instead I have profited. It has given me —if you will have It that way— you!
