Tb rI;niB fai WW.- IN STATE REVENUE 13,651,937 RAISED IN 1915 AGAIN8T $11,974,270 IN 1914 18 REPORTED. LATE STATE CAPITOL NEWS Review of the Latest Newt Gathered Around the State Capitol That Will Be of Interest to Our Readers Over North Carolina. Raleigh. Special from Washington. The re port of Col. W. H. Osborn, commis sioner of internal revenue, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, has just been made public. Here are somev of the facts about North Carolina: The collection for the state amount ed to $13,651,937.38, A.' D. Watts col lecting $8,174,622.67 and J. W. Bailey $5,477,314.71. The total collections for 1914 were $11,947,270.54. The cost of collecting the revenue In 1915 was: the eastern district, $35, 766.25, and the western, $60,762.90; and in 1914 $37,514.51 and $66,910.97. The corporation income tax for 1915 totaled $257,825.38 and the individual income tax, $123,553.96. $ The number of incomes returned in 1915 were 2,277; those taxable, 1,590; and in 1914 there were 2,270 returns and 1,673 were collected. The personal Income tax record for the state follows: Four hundred and fifty-two paid on $3,000 to $4,000; 343 on $4,000 to $5,000; 703 on $5,000 to $10,000; 169 on 10,000 to $15,000; 63 on $15,000 to $20,000;' 36 on $20,000 to $25,000; 7 on $25,000 to $30,000; 16 on $30,000 to $40,000; 5 on $40,000 to,$50, 000; 6 on $50,000 to $75,000; 1 oh $75, 000 to $100,000; 1 on $100,0000 to $150,000; 1 on $150,000 to $20,000; none on $200,000 to $250,000; 1 on 250, 000 to $300,000; none on $300,000 to $400,000; 1 on $400,000 to $500,000, and 1 .on $500,000 and over. Of those who paid on incomes 1,500 were married, 245" single men, 56 sin gle women, and 19 married women rendering separate returns. In 1915 revenue' officers did a thriv ing but not a profitable business in North Carolina. They made 813 sdiz ures, Georgia being the only other state in the union with a larger record. Four hundred and thirty-nine gallons of distilled spirits, valued at $803.80, and ten pounds of tobacco, valued at $5, were seized. The value of other property seized amounted to $2,365. . ; . In 1914 there were 612 seizures. In cluding 598 gallons of distilled spirits and forty pounds of tobacco. Colonel Osborn has saved the gov ernment hundreds of thousands of dol lars by running down oleomargarine blockaders. North Carolina makes the realv oleomargarine and pays the tax. She was not caught in the Os born dragnet. Steam Laundries in This State. In the five-years period from 1909 to 1914 steam laundries in North Caro lina increased from 43 to 59 and all branches of the industry showed sub stantial gains. Twenty-seven of those in. 1914 wer in cities having an esti mated population of 10,000 or more as follows: Charlotte, six; Asheville, four; Wilmington, four; Raleigh, three; Winston-Salem, three; Dur ham, two; Greensboro, two; High Point, one; Newbern, one; Rocky Mount, one. The capital invested i as reported in 1914 was $798,650, a gain of 88.1 per cent over $424,642 in 1909. The aver age capital the establishment was approximately $13,500 in 1914 and $9,900 in 1909. , The National Guard Meeting. The question of the time and place for the 1916 session of the North Car olina National Guard Association will be settled within the next few days. The convention must be held early in January and indications are that the place will be Durham, Greensboro or Raleigh. ,. Difference of $57,000 is Cleared. It is an interesting fact that in en tering the status of state finances on the books of treasurer and auditor as of December 1 the special legislative committee had to make a difference of $57,000 in the books of the treas urer and the auditor. That is the books of the treasurer showed 4 a bal ance of $130,000 general fund and the auditor's a balance of $73,000. This Is for the reason that "there are out standing warrants drawn on the treas ury by the auditor to the! amount of $57,000 that have not" come in. Homicides in North Carolina. During four years beginning with the fall term of the 1910 courts and ending with the spring terms of 1914, the homicide cases that came to trial in North Carolina were 889, or an average of 222 per year; as shown by the reports of the Attorney-General of the-state. Our population of 1914 as estimated by the census bureau was 2,339,452; and supposing that all homicide cases reached the courts, our average annual rate would be 9& per million of population. Fine Progress o Mountain Railway. President Hugh G. Chatham of the Elkln & Alleghany Railway, R. A. Dough ton of .Sparta, a director, and C. B. Fenny, general manager, were Iir conference with Governor Craig in reference to the construction of this line to connect Elkm and Sparta. The company has been using a large force of state convicts for quite awhile and the prison authorities have just transferred 79 of this working force to Badin for the American Aluminum Company in reopening the Whitney development. This leaves the rail road company 55 convicts as a work ing force. These are being used In connection with the operation of the big steam shovels alltr other ma chinery for excavation and grading purposes. ' ' President Chatham made a detailed report of the work and condition ot the road to Governor Craig, , the showing being gratified in all res pects. There are 16 miles of the road in operation and six miles ad ditional ready for the irons. The road is within five miles of the crest of the mountain which marks the termination of the really heavy work of construction. Then there will re main 10 miles of line to be graded mostly over plateaus. The governor was assured v that the company pro poses to complete the road in the shortest possible time.' In speaking of the Elkin & Alle ghany, Mr. Dough ton says that the completion of the road will really mean the reclamation in a large de gree of that splendid mountain re gion from Virginia so far as business relations are concerned and he ex pects unprecedented development. He hopes that the road will be in opera tion to Sparta within 12 months. , Thirteen Go to . Federal Prison. J. B. Stundevant, deputy United State marshal, left with 13 prisoners, taking them to Atlanta to serve terms in the Federal Prison there.

The gift deferred m&keth the heart sick. Belief in SastA Claus is the best policy. It is a wise merchant who knows his own goods when they are brought back for exchange. To give hideous gifts is human, to forgive impossible. Gifts make the man, the want of them the fellow. One Christmas bargain makes the whole of womankind spin. Christmas bills are stubborn things. Santa Claus is not as red as he is paiated. Bay gifts in haste and repent at leisure. Uneasy lies the head that's trying to make twenty dollars buy forty gifts. And thereby hangs 'a stocking. Every Christmas tree must stand on its own bottom. Gifts are seldom what they seem. rrrrrr Tin itth The Christmas Card. About a hundred years ago the first Christmas cards were used. These were printed in London and consisted of a visiting card with the - words, MA Merry Christmas," printed on it Lan.er the cards were made with a lit tle scenery on them and a picture of the -obin. This bird was used be cause ne is called the Englwh Christ mac bird, and also "The Savior's Bird" on account of the old legend regard ing its red breast. From this time on the cards became more numerous and of more varied kinds.

Some time ago a local corps was re viewed by Sir Ian Hamilton, and there is a story told that one of the officers was mounted on a horse that had pre viously distinguished itself in a bakery business. A wag in the crowd is supposed to have recognized the horse, for he shouted out, "Baker!" The horse promptly stopped dead, and nothing could urge it on. The situation was getting painful, when the officer' was struck with a brilliant idea, and re marked, within hearing of his steed: "Not today, thank you.". The procession then moved on with out further delay. London Mail. ECZEMAS AND RASHES Itching and Burning Soothed by Cutk cura. Trial Free.
