abroad. Their relatives' will please)
send their names and date of death, as
well as their company and regiment at

Crossties.
Tha question is often asked here
"Where do so many crossties come
from?" From the woods,' of course,
but it seems like the woods would give
out some time. More crossties are
shipped from this point than any little
or big town in the state. The work
train has been hauling ties from here,
two or three trips a day, for the past
three weeks, and yet. they can hardly
be missed in the yard here.
THE RELIEF FUND
Chatham Slow in Rais

On account of the unfavorable weath
er during the drive for funds for the
"Armenian-Syrian relief fund," and
some misunderstanding as to how the
campaign would be conducted, I have
continued the period through this week
and embracing Sunday, the 9th. Im
mediately after this date I desire all
reports and moneys turned in promptly
that I may make report to state chair
man, Doctor Joyner. I sincerely hope
that every church and Sunday school in
Chatham will make liberal response to
this appeal for aid for those suffering
people. ,
Below I am giving the names of con
tributors and amounts contributed by
each to date. In my next report I hope
to show a good surplus: ;.

Just Had to Kill Him
"One day twenty negro soldiers were
sent out to escort 20 German prisoners
back from the front," writes a corres
pondent in France. "Nineteen of them
returned all right, each guarding a cap
tive boche.
" 'Where's your prisoner?' his com
manding officer asked the twentieth.
" 'It's this way, boss,' the negro an
swered. 'He commenced telling me of
his poor old mother and how she would
miss him if he wre kept in a prison
camp, and of his wife and three little
children back in Germany, and how
they would cry when they learned his
fate, and, boss, before God, I just had
to kill that man to keep, him from
breaking my heart,' "
Working Public Roads
A bill to be entitled an act to authorize
the commissioners of "Chatham coun
to levy a special tax for working the
public roads in the various townships
in the county: ,-. .'
The General Assembly of North Caro
lina do enact: ' .
Section 1. That on petition of one
fourth of the freeholders of any town
ship in the county of Chatham, the
county commissioners of the said coun
ty are authorized and empowered to
levy a tax of not exceeding forty cents
on the one hundred dollars property
valuation and one dollar and twenty
cents on the poll, always observing the
constitutional equation, for the pur
pose of constructing, establishing,
maintaining and repairing the public
highways of such township. The said
petition shall state the amount of tax
desired to be levied.
Sec. 2. The said tax shall be levied
and collected at the same time and in
the same manner as other taxes of the
county. In any township where the
tax provided for in section one hereof
is levied, the county commissioners
shall appoint three citizens of the said
township, who shall constitute the
board of road commissioners for the
said township and whose duty it shall
be to supervise and direct the construc
tion, establishment, maintaining and re
pairing of the public .roads of the said
township and who shall have charge of
the disbursement of the " funds arising'
from the tax herein provided for, and
the board of road commissioners shall
pay out the same upon proper order i
signed by the township commissioners, i
The said township road commissioners j
shall, on the first of each month, or I
of tener if required by the road com- j
missioners, file a report of their ex- I
psnses and disbursements and the same !
shall be approved by the said county
commissioners as far as they may find
the same to be correct. v
Sec. 3. That nothing herein contain
ed shall be construed to repeal any road
laws now in effect in Chatham county
except as herein specified.
Declamation Contest
The literary societies of Wake For
est are making final arrangements for
the declamaation contest which is to be
pulled off in Wake Forest March 13
and 14 Every high school in the con
test will be the guests of the two liter- ;
i vr t Ty a I
ary societies wnue in wase roresx.
The following are the rules governing
the contest:
Any accredited high school, city gra
ded school, or private school is entitled
to send one male representative.
The name of each contestant, and a
certificate from the principal of his
school showing that the contestant is a
bona fide student, must be in the hands
of the secretary of the Reclamation
contest committee not later than March
9th and no declamation' shall be over
ten minutes in length.

speakers will be chosen for the final
contest, which will be held Friday,
March 14th. "
The best speaker will be awarded a
scholarship given by the college and a
medal given by the two societies.
Daylight Law Stands
The effort to kill the daylight saving
law through congressional action failed
in the Senate when senators opposed to
the repealing "rider" attached to the
agricultural appropriation "bill raised a
point of order against the measure.The
point was taken on the ground that the
"rider" was general legislation on one
of the annual appropriation bills, and as
such was out of order. Senator Gore,
who was leading the movement to ef
fect an appeal, threatened to attach
the rider to the wheat price guaranty
bill, but felt it was more important to
the farmers to have the wheat guaran
ty bill go through than have the day
light saying law repealed.
Senator Gore, in urging the repeal of
the daylight saving law, said it worked
a hardship on American farmers, who
thus were forced to rise ah hour earlier
than was their custom. He claimed it
made the farmer's day too long. Sen
ator Calder, of New York, who led the
fight in support of the measure, main
tained that the law as it stands gives
factory workers an additional hour of
daylight after they have completed
their work.

MEMORIAL TABLET
To Be Erected by the
Co; Commissioners -
We herewith publish a letter written
by Mr. Ossian Lang, director of the
War commuhity service to the. Daugh
ters of the Confederacy of. Chatham
county: '.' . '' ;' .
' "Ladies:" Being 'informed of your
successful work .for the "erection of a
monument to the Chatham soldiers of
the War between the States, and hav-;
ing learned ,6f the splendid aid given by
your, organization toward the winning
of the world .war for democracy and
decency, I take the liberty of asking
your help for the inauguration of a
movement 'to unite the people of Chat
ham county in the establishing of the
best possible kind of a memorial or
memorials to "'" the Chatham men who
have served in the victorious land and
sea forces of our common country. The
plan I-beg; to commend to you particu
larly is to place -memorial tablets in all
the common school hsuses bearing the
names of the soldiers, sailors and mar
rines of tha several districts; and also
to establish at the, county seat a Chat
ham memorial community house as.a-
living monument to all enlisted men of
the sounty, this community house to be
a model social center in whose benefits
all the people of the county may share.
"I have written to national headquar
ters requesting that Chatham county
be added to my present territory, and
favorable action is expected: In any
event, my request to you is that you
will grant me the privilege of explain
ing to you the far-reaching objects of
the plan briefly indicated above. The
thought back of the plan, is that where
as the war was won for the peserva
tion of democracy, the memorials ought
to be of a kind to promote the firmer
establishment of democracy by the
gathering of people for the free dis
cussion of their common affairs in
neighborhood centers belonging to them
in common.
' 'Trusting that you will give favorable
consideration to my request and with
the best of good wishes for you, I am,
"Respectfully yours, -"OSSIAN
LANG,
"Community Organizer W. C. C: S.,
"Raleigh, N. C."
In accordance with the above it is
eminently fitting that the U. D. C.
should take up this work for the de-.
scendants of Confederate soldiers, it
being on a line with their memorial
work. At a meeting of the Winnie
Davis Chapter on last Friday a com
mittee was appointed to ask the coun
ty commissioners to erect this memo
rial tablet to the soldiers who were
killed .or died in the service during the
late war. The committe saw the com
missioners who patriotically decided to
erect this memorial. They also agreed
to purchase a cabinet for the preserva
tion and exhibition of war relics.

of local Internal Revenue Collector
before their offices close that night.
. The Income Tax is being collected to
meet the war expenses. ' Every person
who shouted and tooted his horn on
Armistice Day is now called upon to
contribute liis share of the cost of win
ning the war. ' '
She laggards and the dodgers will
"fajce severe fines and jail sentences.
Tjfef Internal Revenue , Bureau, an
nounces that its officers will check us
all up to see that every person who
comes within the scope of the Income
Tax Jaw did his share.
Where to Pay and File.'
Residents of North Carolina should
make their, returns and pay their
taxes to Josiah W. Bailey, Collector of
Internal Revenue, Raleigh, or to Aus
tin D. Watts, Statesville, or to any of
the deputy collectors who are now do
ing free advisory work on Income Tax.
Payments sent by mail should be at
tached to the returns and should be in
the form of check, money order or
draft. Cash payments by mail are
sent at the taxpayer's risk of loss.
If you are unable to make your re
turn personally because of Illness, ab
sence or incapacity an agent or legal
representative may make your return.
If there are any doubtful points as
to your items of income or allowable
deductions you should get In touch at
once with a Revenue officer or a bank
er for advice.
Women Pay Tax.
Women are subject to all the re
quirements of the Income Tax. Wheth
er single or married, a woman's Income
from all sources must be considered. .
If anmarried or if living apart from
her husband she must make her return
for 1918 if her net income was $1,000
or over.
If married and living with her hus
band her income must be considered
with the husband's in determining the
liability for a return. Their joint In
come, less the credits allowed by law,
is subject to normal tax. The wife's
net income is considered separately in
computing any surtax that may be
due. Husband and wife file jointly, as
a rule. If the husband does .not In
clude his wife's income in his return
the wife must file a separate return.
Severe Penalties.
The new Revenue Law places severe
penalties on a person who fails to
make return on time, refuses to make
return or renders a fraudulent return.
For failure to make return and pay
tax on time a fine of not more than
$1,000 is named and 25 per cent of the
tax due is" added to the assessment
For refusing willfully to make return
or for making a false or fraudulent re
turn there is a fine of not exceeding
$10,000 and - Imprisonment of not ex
ceeding one: year, or both.
Farmers' Income Taxable.
Every farmer and ranchman who
had a fair or a good year in 1913 must
heed the Income Tax this year. He
must consider all his income as tax
able. He is entitled to deduct from
his gross Income all amounts expended
in carrying on his farm. The cost of
farm machinery, farm buildings and
improvements cannot be deducted. The
cost of live stock, either for resale or
for breeding purposes, is also regarded
as investment. :
Overtime and Bonuses Taxed.
Salary and wage earners must con
sider as taxable every item received
from employers and from other
sources. Bonuses and overtime pay
are to be reported as well as the regu
lar payments.
Allowances for Cesses.
Losses sustained in 1918 and not
covered by insurance are deductible
Items If incurred in the taxpayer's
business or trade, in any transaction
undertaken for profit or arising from
fire, storm, shipwreck or other casu
alty or from theft.
