Mr. Lacy Prevatt, a young white man of Buie, was shot .from ambush and dangerously wounded about dark .Friday evening. Deputy Sheriff Ed Bailey deputized Mr. Prevatt and -Mr. Paul McNeill to go with him to look for some stolen goods that had been hidden in a swamp, the goods having been thrown . off a . freight train. When they .were near the stolen goods the. three men were fired upon from ambush, a bullet from a -38-calibre pistol striking Mr. Prevatt in the stomach. The bullet first struck Mr. Prevatt's left hand and passed on, cutting his leather belt in two. He was rushed to the Pittman hospital, Fayetteville', and the bullet was removed. Latest reports from Mr. Prevatt state that his . condition is as favorable as could, be expected and that he has a chance to recover. Three arrests have been made in connection' with the-' stealing and shooting. John Henry Barton, alias "Fo Day" Barton, colored, was ar rested Saturday morning at Pem broke by Policeman Herbert Lowry. When arrested, Barton had a 38 Bel gian pistol on him, one blank chamber and three that had been snapped up on being in the gun. The pistol is one of the largest ever seen by Robe son officers. Troy Th6mas, Indian merchant of Pembroke, was arrested and is in jail. Thomas admits that he went to the place where the goods were hidden Friday afternoon with ihree negroes John Henry Barton, Ben Alford and Floyd McEachern and bought the. goods from the ne groes for $120. Friday night he drove his car near the scene and Floyd Mc Eachern, who has also been arrested and is in jail here, hauled the stolen, goods from where they were hidden to his car and that he then carried them to his store at Pembroke. ftlore than $200 worth of the stolen goods were found in Thomas' store and were recovered by the officers. The goods were thrown off a moving freight train, by the negroes, it is said. The third negro, Ben Alford wanted in connection with the affair, has not been arrested. Sheriff R. E. Lewis and his depu ties and a number of citizens of the Buie and Pembroke sections searched diligently for the negroes all .Friday night and Saturday, spent yesterday searching for Ben Alford, who has not been apprehended. Alford is said to be an escaped convict from South 'Carolina and has served a term on the xoads in this county for larceny. McEachern admits that he aided in moving the stolen merchandise from where it was hidden in the swamp, near Buie. Barton will have to ans. wer the charge of firing upon the of ficers Friday evening. The officers had an exciting chase McEachern. He was chased from a ! point near Buie to near Pembroke' be-1 fore he was overtaken. He ran prac-1 tically all the 5 miles, according to the officers.- He was unarmed when ar rested. The store of Mr. W. L. Everett of ! Kennert was robbed on the night of I January 6 and Saturday Mr. Everett j recognized several suits of clothes that were taken from his store .in the 1 Thnmas store at Ppmhrnk ! Many freight cars have been robbed! in and near Pembroke of late, it is said, and the officers think they have unearthed the mystery that has sur rounded the continued robberies thereabouts.

One to Two and a Half Per Cent.; Tax Commisioner to Administer Tax Laws Three Cents Property Tax Will be Levied Only as Equa lizing Fund for School Purposes. Today's Raleigh News and Obser ver gives the" following: A Graduated tax on incomes, rang ing from one per cent to two and a half per cent, wifh.? 1,000 exemption for , unmarried men and women and $2,000 for men and women with fam ilies, increased privilege, . cooperate- and franchise taxes, and no tax on real property other than three cents on the $100 to be used as an equaliza tion fund for public schools will be provided for in the Revenue and Ma chinery act scheduled for presenta tion to the General Assembly Thurs day. Administration of the State's sys tem of levying and collection of taces will be vested in a State tax commis sion, the office being fashioned large ly after the office of.' the collector of internal revenue for'the United States, Following as it will the Fed eral income tax "law, the work of ad ministration will entail less adminis trative work than would be the case otherwise, and the force . of . agents of the department will likely be very much smaller. " .." -Submit Bill Thursday Three weeks of intensive work on the part of., the. subcommittee charged with.the duty of drafting the bi-ennial revenue act into such shape that it can be passed upon by the full committee, which is scheduled for tomorrow or the next day. The cleri cal work of putting the document in to type, which covers more than 100 pages, has been completed in the less essential features, and there remains now the final draft of the more im, portant sections of the measure. The committee is definitely com mitted to equalization of property values both in the county as the unit and in the State as a whole, but there will be no horizontal reduction in any case recommended by the commit tee. County boards of appraisers will be re-established, either separately or with the county boards of commis sioners, with power to readjust pro perty values, with the final appeal to the tax commissioner. It is generally conceded, both in Assembly, that, a horizontal reduc the committet, and . jn the General tion of values.would work little in the way of relief for the complaints that have been made against the Revalua tion Act. With a definite income to be raised, the only effect of a flat reduc tion would be to lessen values and raise tax rates. It is pointed out that the evident inequalities still obtain. Equalize Valuation. Relief of a materia.1 nature will be afforded in the removal of a large part of State tax, and such as is le vied being used for an equalization fury! for public schools. None of the money used for State administration will be collected from real property, and that collected will be returned with the general school fund. A part of the school fund for the State will Le gained from income taxes. Taxes levied on property in North Carolina will be levied by county and muni cipal units of government. Appointment of the proposed Tax Commissioner will be left in the hands of the Governor, but the gen eral sentiment, arising to the dimen sions of Corporation Commissioner A. J. Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell has ac quired a .large personal following in the General Assembly and through- out the btate during tne pa... two years through his handling of tax- aticn matters, and he is decl-red to be the logical man for the appoint ment. WHAT DETAINED MR. BARNES Like a Certain Scotch Minister of Another Day, Mr. K. M. Barnes Got Headed the Wrong Way and Had to Stay in That Dear Hamlet All Night When He Fully Expected to Sleep in Lumberton. On his journey, hohie the' other day from Raleigh, where he went to look in on the General Assembly, Mr. K. M. Barnes, treasurer of the Planters Bank and Trust Co. of Lumberton, had an experience like unto that of a well-known ' Scotch minister of an other day. The story goes, as related in the New York Globe, that a certain able Scotch minister who was very absent minded set out horseback on a day from his home in Aberdeen to fill an appointment at a church seven miles away. When about ! half way to his destination he decided to take a pinch of snuff. . . The wind being contrary, he. turned his horse around in order to get all that was coming to him from his indulgence, and when the snuff had been taken he started his horse in the direction he was then headed His astonishment was great when he arrived back in Aberdeen at the verjr hour when he should, have been preaching seven miles away. Now t came to pass, that Mr. Barnes,; when he arrived Hamlet last Wednesday night from Raleigh, took his seat in a Charlotte-Wilmington train and made himself comfortable. After the train started Mr, Barnes felt that something was wrong.- The lights outside did not look right, and he appeared to be going in the wrong direction.'' Making hurried investiga IcONNOR IN HOUSE ATTACKS STATE FINANCIAL POLICY f " '' t jitnou nces Loose Method of Incurring Debt Without Making Provisions to Pay House Backs Lacy in Borrow-! tag Money at High Interest Rate, j "Tnis is the third time that we TlfiVtf f linrleH thaaa knnHa ainn ttiv I were issued 65 years ago, and during' that time we have paid $10,000,000 in interest to New York bankers on a! of 17,555,000 bales of 600 pounds principal of $2,000,000," declared Re-jweight each, from August 1,; presentative H. G. Connor, Jr., yes terday in his arraignment of the poli cy of the State Treasury, and of the General Assembly in issuing bonds without a sinking fund : Notice was served upon the House by Mr. Connor that before the end of, te present - session he intended to make an effort to secure the passage of an act to prohibit the issue of securities by the State without at tendant provisions for their retire ment serially. The entire system of the State's financial policy was held up to rebuke by the member from Wilson, and he openly proclaimed that he was criticizing . the State Treasurer. The discussion was precipitated when the Senate resolution validating tne action or state Treasurer Lacy In placing" $4,500,000 short terra notes at an interest rate of. 6 1-4 percent. lhe 4oan was necessitated by the ma turity of an issue of. $2,000,000 in bonds for the building of the old North Carolina railroad, and for short term notes placed two years ago to take "care of certain improvements at State institutions A unanimous vote was given the re solution, after Representative Dough- ton declared that it was necessary for the-State to place the loan at any rate obtainable in order to save the State's credit, but a dozen members, in vpting, pledged their support to Mr. Connor, explaining that their af firmative vote was onlv for nreserv- ing the State's credit in the present emergency. The Wilson member's bill will probably be offered in the House some time before the end of the week. Taking the position that the State ought not to incur indebtedness with out making some provision for paying the debt, and citing the fact that the tax payers of the State during the past half century have been drained of $10,000,000 to pay the interest on a $2,000,000 bond issue, Mr. Connor spoke for- more than a half hour on the general financial policy of the State Treasurer and the General As sembly. The fallacy of selling bonds to the highest bidder when often the prem ium paid was less than one tenth of one cent on the $100, was bitterly ridiculed by the Wilson member. The bonds ought to be sold at par, he de clared, as the United States Govern ment and every .other government in the world sells its bonds. Dependency upon New York banks for credit was attacked with vigor. Mr. Connor Cited the fact that North Carolina had bought $150,000,000 worth of Federal bonds during the war, and declared that the State could and would buy every bond offered by the State Treasurer, the money raised at home and the interest kept at home. No State would bankrupt if it borrowed at home and paid its inter est at home he asserted. "They tell us that it is not in keep ing with the State's dignity to ped dle its bonds. The United States peddled its bonds during the war and we bought them, and bought them at par. The British government peddles its bonds the French and the Italian governments peddle their bonds, and we ought to do it. There are .resour ces in the banks of he State to take care of every penny t bonds that the State will issue, and the banks and their depositors would "be glad to buy them if they had a chance. Why sell them to New York backers and pay them the interest?" "I know that Lam criticizing a de partment of the government of the State, and an officer who comes from my own party, but I don't care. The system is rotten, it is unsound, it is unwise, and if the finance committee of this house will not offer a bill to correct it, I will offer it, and use every ounce of my energy to get it passed. Raleigh News and Observer Feb. 13. tion, he found that he was on the train going to Charlotte and he had set his heart on getting back to Lum berton that night. After the train had gone up the road towards Char lotte some quarter of a mile, or may be it was half a mile or a mile, Mr. Barnes succeeded in getting the train ! stopped. He had Jo count crossties back to Hamlet. And it was a dark night. And it was a rainy night, if you remember or whether you remember it or not. And so it happened that' Mr. Barnes walked back into Hamlet at ' about the hour he should have arrived at Lumberton. N. B. Mr. Barnes did not get pointed in the wrong direction on account of taking snuff. Mr. and Mrs. D. Bass and daugh ter, little Miss Gertrude, and son. Master Clayton, of the Fairmont sec tion, are among the visitors in town today. Mr. H; R. West of the Allenton section is in town today. " J.

This added to the estimated production of 12,987,000 bales of American cotton from the 1920 crop, gives a grand toatl of American of about 17,000,000 bales, and 8,624,000 for the balance of the Rnfch M'White; Raymond D.
