Robesonian had a group picture made
of the contingent from district No.
1 and published a cut of that group
find stated that a picture had been
taken of the group that went from
Red Springs and a cut would be pub
lished in the paper as soon as the pic
ture could be obtained. After waiting
for some time we wrote for informa

been advised by the clerk of the lo

were filled with billions in taxes gath
ered from a wide variety of sources
ranging from stamps on playing cards
to huge levies on excess profits was
shown in detail today by a report of
Internal Revenue Commission Roper
to Secretary McAdoo for the year
ending last June 30.
Total interna revnue for the year
amounted to $3,694,703,000, of which
$2,839,083.00 came from income and
excess profits tax payments in June
and $855,619,000 from a multitude of
miscellaneous sources, collected large
ly in pennies, dimes and quarters add
ed to the prices of various articles
paid by consumers and poured into the
treasury by retailers, wholesalers or
manufacturers to help meet war costs.
Huge as the taxes seem in the ag
gregate, collections for the entire year
were only enoueh to D3V the nat.inn'o
bill for two and a half months of war
at the rate the government is now
spending money.
Next ot income and excess profits
taxes, the backbone of the revenue
schedule, liquor taxes broueht in the
most money, $443,838,000, including
$317,553,000 from whiskey, brandy
wine and spirits, and $126,285,000 from
beer and other fermented liquors
Taxes on cigars, cigarettes and other
tobacco products yielded $156,188,000
These figures are somewhat higher
than those reDorted soon after n.c
close ef the year by Commissioner Ro
per and are subject to further slight
modification.

At Lumber Bridge Friday and

This is another big week for the
farmers who sell their tobacco at Fair

high averages. All grades are sell

The largest curing for this week
was sold by Bass & Lewis, weighing
1,442 pounds, for 50 cents a pound.
This is perhaps the largest single
curing of tobacco ever sold in Robe
