(From New s and Observer, January 30 1924 MR. OLIVER REPLIES TO NR. BAILEY. Marietta, N. C., January 28. 1924. Mr. J, W. Bailey, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: Your frank admission, in answer io my recent letter, that you havt charged your views on income taxation since 1919, helps to clear u( one feature of your record on taxation that has been so inconsisten that I was minded to ask if you were sincere now. I grant any mar the right to change his views, and since the income tax amendmen was approved by the ninety-nine of the one hundred counties of tht State, you say ,‘Yrs, I have changed my views on this subject since 1919." But this frank admission leaves much to be explained by you thai cannot be explained on the basis set out in your letter to the News and Observer of the 25th. It was not so much your opposition to the income tax in 1919 that caned me to question your sincerity as it was the demand which you made at the time that all the increased taxes, which you admitted to h» necessary, should be placed on land and live stock, and you will have to make some more confessions before you can square yourselt with mtmbers of the Legislature of 1919 who were personal witnesses to your inconsistent and conflicting positions. Let's see how much you now undertake to do this. In answering my letter you say : "You speak of the Legislature of 19l9oi which you were a mem her That is the Legislature from which is dated the tremendous rise in uses in ihis State and imposition of unjust and unbearable burdens upon our farmers by way of taxes upon their lands. It is true that I re ; ted the beginning of that policy." In the last sentence iust quoted you have raised with me an issue 0 tact upon which either your memory or mine is at fault. It is true mi, beginning with the Legislature of 1919, it was necessary to raise larg ly increased sums of revenue by taxation. The people of the State had just amended the Constitution to require that all public schools should be taught a minimum of six months instead of four months. It was necessary to provide revenue not only for longer school terms but for larger salary for teachers, and also revenue for larger State institu tions. Our plan for raising a part of tins increased revenue was to ollect the State's revenue from income taxes and increased franchise nxts. and thus relieve farm and other property from any State tax. Y 'u did not ubiect to the increased revenue. You recognized that it w s necessary to have the increased revenue, and presented your plan f aising it. You said that the large income tax payers could not s and another dollar of taxes and demanded that all of the increased revenue should be placed upon lands and personal property of the Far i ers. According to the Raleigh Times of Teh. II, 1919, you said : "If you want some revenue right badly, assess the lands of North Caro lina, thirty three million acres of them, at their market value, as is your constitutional duty," he tBailey) thundered, turning to Maxwell, "And you will get some revenue, all that you need. Why don’t you do it? It easier to make the corporations shell out once more ? Why, in Norih Carolina, hogs are valued at less than I pay lor a ham,’ he shouted. "Coats, Sheep, Jacks, Lady Jacks, etc., are very low down." The Greensboro News of Teb. II, 1919, carried an item, in part as l Hows: “Following a discussion of more than two hours tonight, in which J. W. Bailey was best in an argument by A. J. Maxwell, the ci -ntuiional amendment committee of itic House unanimously agreed to report favorably the proposed changes in the State constitution pro vi g for uniform taxation of income. A number of business men 1 i various pans of North Carolina attended the meeting, but J. W. BjT y presented the only brief against the proposed amendment, ex ce' that some Goldsboro business men sent a request that the meeting b referred.” You say you have changed your mind since 1919, and well mighl y <u change your might for you wouldn't get fat with that "hog and, ham" speech you made before the committee of the Legislature ; o,i?' sing an income tax. So I am compelled to deny your statement that you "Resisted the j bginnings of that policy," but you demanded that all of the heavy! birdtn of increased taxes should be placed on lands, and that none of it should be placed on incomes. If there is any man in the Siuie who i his no right to complain of increased taxes on land it is you, for ycu j d-manded that lands and live stock be made to bear it all. It the Leg isla’ure had followed the course damanded by you, the laud, ol the Stne would be bearing some four million dollars more of annual taxes that are now raised by a tax on incomes. You insist that in your appearance before the Legislature of 1919 you were not employed by any corporation or income taxpayers. That is a matter within your knowledge and not mine, and 1 accept your statement fully. But it adds nothing to your appeal to the farmers of the State that you made this fight voluntarilj to have all the increased taxes placed on them. You were, at least, fearful that the Legislature "would make the corporations shell out again," and you were very urgent in demanding that the Corporation Commission go out and get the farmers’ hogs, etc., to keep the corporam ns Irom having "to shell our” You have the privilege of making any other confession, but, when you resisted, during the whole session of 1919, every effort to place iny of this increased burden anywhere else, and insisted that all of it should be placed on land and live stock, you cannot expect me to ac cept your siatemem ihat you, "resisted the beginning of this policy" of Placing heavier burdens upon lands. On the comrary, you resisied every effort to place any part of the burden any where else except on land anr* live stock. My recollection does not agree with yours, and I am sure that the press reports of your position at the time, as well as ihc memory of other members of that Legislature, will bear out my recollection of it. You have the right to make another confession of change of views in the light of experience, but you have no right to criticise the Legis lature for increasing taxes on land, when it refused to go as far in tax ing as you demanded it should go. And, if you change your views upon these important matters so rapidly, who can prophecy what vour view s would be by the time you are inducted into office, if you should be elected Governor ? In the closing paragraph of your letter, you infer that the Legisla te of 1919, and other Legislatures in the past twenty years, were composed mainly of lawyers and politicians. You should have no ob iections to these two classes. However, the North Carolina Manual shnws that there were fifty-five farmers in the Legislature of l?T19. Very truly yours, J. S. OLIVTR, Farmer and Member of . House of Representatives, 1919. DECEITFUL.

TUB PkfiSBVTHRIAN CHURCH The membership of the Southern Presbyterian church is 428,292, ! according to to statistics submitted to the general assembly of the church of 1923. it is safe to esti- ! mate the total income of the mem bers of this church during 1923 at not less than 8300,000,000. The tithe ol this income is $30,000,000 and this utile alone is more than six times the amount that is being asked of the this church for next year in support of the benevolent causes of the general assembly— foreign missions, Christian educa tion arid ministerial relief, publica tion and Sabbath school work, the general assemnly's training school at Richmond, Va , and the Ameri can Bible society. It the membership of this church would contribute me coming year 35 cents to the evangelization of each of the 32,000,000 people in heathen lands, tor whose evangeli zation Southern Presbyterians are responsible, and sixty cents to aid m the evangelization of 5,000,000 people in home mission territory, and tl the salaries of all of the pas tors of the church should be made what are recognized as “living sal aries,’ the annual budget of the church would amount probably to not more than $ 12,000,000, which is but little more than one-third of the tithe of the income of the mem bers of the church for one year. The progressive program of the church, directed by the steward ship committee of the general as sembly, is calling upon the church for $4,750,000 for benevolences for the coming year, less than one sixtieth of the total income of the membership for one year, and. as stated above, less than one-sixth of the lithe of this annual income. Special effort is being made to get each member of the church to re cognize the duty of setting aside the tithe of the income for the work of the Lord, in keeping with scriptural injunction in this connec tion, and to recognize that giving upon the part of the individual does not begin until this has been done- Reports from all of the synods of the general assembly show that the number of tithers is increasing rapidly, and due to this fact the financial obligations of the church will be the more easily metj R.

The i;irl who takes as much pride in learning to dust a room properly as she does in learning to draw, who broils a steak with the same nicety she embroiders a rose bud, who makes coffee as careful ly as she crockets, is the girl who will make the economical, cherry wife, the loving mother and de lightful companion. It is not a crime to know how to keep house. Kvery girl expects to have one of her own some day, yet the girl and her mother too often act as though there was no such thing as a servanilcss home and food grew on bushes ready for picking. A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT. When the summer of youth is slowly wasting away on the night fail oi age, and the shadow of the path becomes deeper, and life wears to its close, it is pleasant to look through the vista of tune upon the sorrows and felicities of our earlier years. If we had a home to shelter and hearts to reioice with us, and friends have been gathered around our fireside, the rough places of wayfaring will have been worn and smoothed away in the twilight of life and many dark spots we have passed through will grow brighter and more beautiful. Hap py indeed are those whose inter course with the world has not changed the tone of their holier feelings, or broken those musical chords of the heart whose vibra tions are melodious, so tender and touching in the evening of their lives. Any married man in Weldon can tell you that it’s easier to get ex penses down to pre-war times than down to pre-marriage times. RATHER MIXED. "My father, late in life, married a iady about two years younger than myself, but within an hour after the ceremony he died of heart disease. As the lady is young and pretty, I have naturally, or unna turally, as you please, fallen in love with her. The feeling is re ciprocated, and we wish to marry, but we hesitate, fearing there may be some legal objection in the way. she being my stepmother. Please give us your opinion. ” It is really refreshing to hear of a young man entertaining tender sentiments toward his step mother. She is evidently of a far more ami able disposition than those we have heard of. We say fix things at once—there is no legal objection in the way. It may complicate matters of relationship a little here after. Having married your moth er, you will naturally, or unnatu rally be your own father, and con sequently grandfather to your children, brother-in-law to your uncles and aunts, and step-son to your wife. We might pursue this a step farther, but refrain for fear of getting mixed ourselves. FATAL ACCIDENT. One day last week the A. C. L. train known as the "Everglades” ran into a truck belonging to the Enfield Peanut Company and driven by Fayette Baker, colored, near Enfield, cutting the body half in two and demolishing the truck. Another colored man came upon the scene to view the body and dropped dead immediately. Two deaths from one accident. It only we could bear one an other's burdens as cheerfully as we bear one another’s faults.

Among the best was the one by Annie Rowe House, which follows: WALTER SLEDGE, A PROMISING YOUNG EDITOR POUND Ml RDER ED IN PRIVATE OFFICE—EDITOR OF ROANOKE NEWS STABBED BY JEALOUS WOMAN. -tsocialed I'ress. Weldon, N. C., Jan. 31, 1924. Walter Sledge, editor of the Roa ! noke News, was found by his pri I vate secretary, Miss Annie .Joyner, when sh returned from lunch to day. Mr Sledge was lying across his desk with a deep wound in his neck. On the floor was his paper knife still wet with blood. Miss . Joyner immediately summoned Dr. William (Jollier, whose office is in the same building. Dr. Col lier pronounced him dead. The police was notified, and an ituiuest was held and later the body was removed to his late home. Mrs. Sledge,formerly Miss Cath erine Collier, was notified while visiting at her parents’ home in Garysburg. The police under the direction of Chief of Police Leon Tucker, worked on the clue of a handker chief and vanity case found on Mr. Sledge’s desk. The initials “V. O.” on the silver vanity and the odor of "Hoyt's” perfume on the handkerchief helped to betray the identity of the guilty party. A young woman by the name of Virginia Owen, said to be a former sweetheart of Mr. Sledge’s, was seen by the elevator boy, Rastus Jones, as she was leaving the office of The News. Miss Owen was arrested late this afternoon and taken to the Halifax county jail to await action of the grand jury. Her attorney, Miss Mary Virginia Joyner, to gether with the District Attorney, . M ss Byrd Suiter, will bring this to an early trial. Judge Winfield Crew will take e\ idence tomorrow from the fol lowing v. i. iesses Misses Mattie Summerell, Elizabeth Wyche, Hazel Clark, Giadys Jones, Lillian Fteid and Ruth Boseman, all mem bers of the office force of The News. Misses Lily Boseman and The resa Marks, former correspondents of the Weldon Daily Times will also be called. The funeral arrangemenis had not been completed at a late hour, but it is expected that the Ladies Aid and the Weldon fire truck will lead the procession. Annie Rowe House, Reporter. A BEAUTIFUL BUILDING. We had the pleasure last week, together with Prof. W.B. Edwards, of inspecting the new school build ing for the colored people of Wel don, and can truthfully say it is one of the prettiest and most up to-date school buildings in the State. A large and beautiful audi torium, the class rooms large and well lighted. The building is weli heated throughout by steam. The class rooms are ample, in every way to accommodate AGO pupils. The principal, H. C. Jones, was on the job and seemed to appre ciate what the white people had done for the education of the col- 1 ored race. The building was oc- ! cupied last Monday tor the lirst time. TASKER POLK DECLINES. Tasker Polk, of Warrenton, at torney and former member of the State Senate, has notified Govern or Morrison that he would decline appointment as judge of the Supe rior court in this, the Third dis trict, to succeed Judge T. M. Pitt man, of Henderson, who resigned last week. Condition of his health and the demands of his private practice practice were assigned by Senator Polk as the reasons for declining the tender of appointment made by Governor Morrison. We regret this very much. He wrould have made a most excellent Judge. PRETTY aiRLS. Pretty girls are like confectione ries in more ways than one. They are sweet, they are expensive, and ■ they are conducive to heartburn. SPRIGHTLY SPARKS. Gathered Here and There and Everywhere. Did you get a valentine ? Be patient spring is almost here.

The groom indeed is Falling fast Who tells his bride all Of his past. The marriage lottery is not all ! blanks. Ask some women and I they'll tell you that they drew i worse than blanks. In algebra we are taught that “x" is an unknown quantity. Yes, and in politics an “ex" is an un known quantity, too. Postmaster Price asserts that ex cept around the first of the month few people get as much mail as they think they ought to have. Education is a great thing all right, but the girl with the low neck attracts more attention than the girl with the high forehead. Every woman know's man is su perior to animals. The lion growls while feeding but the man only growls when he isn’t being fed. No mother ever nurses a baby with more care than a man nurses the last dozen hairs on his dome when he finds he is almost bald. The people of this old world groan under their war debts, but if the war debts were all paid off they might get to fighting again. There are still some fellows in this country who call it “pretty good whiskey" just as long as it ■ doesn’t eat the cork out of the bot tle. Next time you meet the Weldon citizen who can see no good in this | country ask him to explain why i so many immigrants come over t here. i "Some things,’’ remarked a Weldon man yesterday, "caiTi be ' bought with either love or money, ' but money can buy a lot of things 1 love can’t.” 1 We have some fellows in Wei- j don who could settle the argument ( between the French and Germans j but who can’t make their own kids take castor oil. Since none of the ministers i around Weldon are buying S5,000 l sedans we take it that leap year i isn’t boosting their business to any very great extent. The farmer takes a chance on a crop failure every year, but where is the Weldon man who can say he ever had a poor yield of weeds in his back yard. This is a funny world in which j we live. When two trains come ' together that is called a collision, | but when two kids come together we call them twins. Teacher—"Johnnie, give me a sentence using the word ‘diadem’.” Johnnie—"People who drink moonshine diadem sight quicker than those who don’t.” Answer this and win the leather j medal: Why is it that one girl’s! waist line is just below her shoul- I ders while another's seems to be trying to get below her knees? "About the only lime reduced prices shock a fellow, is when the price of the auto he bought drops a couple of hundred dollars about a week after his car has been de livered." Here is the grave of Timothy Tether Who never kicked about the weath er. Here lie the bones of Absolom Earl Who never cussed the the tele phone girl. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Florence Elizabeth Harvell was hostess Friday afternoon at a party at the home of her parents, Mr. j and Mrs. J. A. Harvell, on Cedar ; street, in honor of her tenth birth- i day.
