Last fall the Literary Digest was in cluded in our high school curriculum. Beneficial results are manifold and apparent. Tha awakened interest of our young intellectuals in political questions is manifested not only In debates in 'the literary societies, but also in their casual conversation. We would recommend this text to other schools that have not tried it. The writer washes to embrace this opportunity to urge two things of the members of his community and of others: First, let as many as possible go to Raleigh and hear Dr. George W. Truitt. He Is conceded to be one of the world's leading preachers, and an opportunity to hear him is rare, inas. much as he is not a regular evangelist. The meeting will continue till about Thursday. Second, let as many as can subscribe to THE TIMES. It is your county or gan, and you need to keep posted on local occurrences. Your community is being regularly featured.

Com missions, fees, tips, bonuses and pen sions form the prinrinal item in the returns of millions" orta*paxfifs. As a general rule, all such income i8~stltr- - ject to tax. However, there are ex-; ceptlons with which the taxpayer in the interests of self as well as the Government, should familiarize him self. ? ' .Salaries paid to its TSlficers and em ployees by a state or "political subdi vision thereof (city. town, county or hamlet) are exempt from taxation. The reason for this ls'that the Feder al Government does not tax such ac tivities o? a state. Fees received by a notary public commissioned by a state are not taxable, neither are feee paid jurors by a state or political sub division thereof. Witnesses in law suits, Ijcm'ever, even though subpoen ed by state's attorney are not consid ered employees of the state, and fees received by them are subject to taxa tion. The Commissions of a receiver ap pointed by state, county or municipal court are not taxable. The Commis sions of an administrator or executor are taxable because they are not paid by a state or political subdivision, but out of the estate of the deceased. Salaries of Federal officers and em ployees, including those of the terri tories and the District of Columbia are subject to tax. Salaries and fees paid by the United States to its ambassa dors, ministers or consuls accredited to foreign countries or by a foreign Government to United States citizens are taxable, and the amount spent by them for entertaining 1e not deducti ble. Fees paid a juror by the Federal Government are taxable Income, like "wlse the fees received by a referee, trustee or receiver, under the Nation al Bankruptcy Act. The fees receiv ed by a notary public commissioned by the District of Columbia are tax able. Inquiries received ndlcate the Im pression In the minds of many persons that all school teachers are exempt from payment of the Income tax. Teachers are not exempt because en gaged In educational work. As a rule the salaries paid public school teach ers are exempt, but only tor the rea son that they are employees of a state .political subdivision thereof. The special exemption of $3,500 al lowed under the revenue act of 1918 persons In active service In military and naval forces Is repealed by the revenue act of 1921. Soldiers- and sailors are allowed only the exemp tions granted other Individuals, $1 ,000 If single, or married and ifbt living with husband or wife, $2,600 If mar ked and living with wife or husband and the net Income for 1921 was $6,000 or less, and $2,000 If married and liv ing with wife or husband and t?? net Income was more than $5,000. The last day to have Income Tax Re turhs for calendar year In the hands of the United States Collector of In ternal Revenue Is Wednesday, March 16th, 1922.

ROTH COMPANY THE STORE THAT ALWAYS SELLS THE CHEAPEST LOUISBURG, NORTH CAROLINA KjiF,\sin\ lLOii <*OOI?. iAtSS i 'oigmlssioher of Revenue Watts said today that the law permits him to grant extensions of time to taxpayers for Sling income tax returns from March 15th in cases ot sickness, ab sence, or other disability, or whenever in his judgment good cause exists for such extension . The law requires in terest at the rate of six per cent per annum from March 15th to th- time of payment to be paid where exten sions are granted. Extensions will be granted upon application where lawful cause Is shown, but in all cases the Interest required by law will be collected. Where no extensions have been granted, taxpayers tailing to make in come tax returns and pay the taxes due on or before March 15th, without intent to evade the law.may voluntar ily file a return and pay the tax due on or before May 15th, 1922, together with live per cent penalty, which pen alty In no case shall be less than one dollar and one per cent for each month or fraction of a month during which the tax remains unpaid from March 15 U'22. These penalties will be collect ed In prmry case. All penalties may easily be avoided by taxpayers making their Income tax returns and paying the taxes due on or before March 15, 1922, or by secur ing uWMtons, where lawful reasons exist for extensions, when only sim ile Interest will be collected In addi tion te llii tax. Attention Is again called to the fact that tht Income taxes paid to sheriffs and cointy tax collectors during the fall of 1921 and the Brat part of this year are taxes levied on the Incomes of taxpayers for the calendar year of 1920, and not for 1921. HelnrM are required from all 4n gle persons and married persons not living with husband or wife whose n? income ta fliMO or more, and from all married persons living together whose net incotnes are $2,004 or more. Net Income .Is the gross (ncome less the deductions allowed by .law, bnt per sonal exemptions are not Included In' these deductions. For this reason a very large number of persons are lia ble to make returns who will not pay .taxes 8CHLOSB ITEMS An we bare not seen anything from <>nr community in a long time we will send in |*St'B" few II nee to let you know we are not drowned yet.
