MAY PUT TAX ON TOBACCO Rumored That Congress Is Consid ering Taxing the Weed in Order #To Raise More Revenue. Washington, Dec. 2. ? The pres eree here yesterday of R. J. Rey nolds, of Winston-Salem, and a number of other tobacco pien, start ed a rumor that the coming Congrei is preparing to lay a heavy tax or tobacco in order to help rals^ money for tha nations'. defense program. When seen today, Congressman Claude Kltchln, chairman of th way? and m ans committee, which prepares the schedules for raising revenue, admitted that many mem bers of his committee were urging a large tax on tobacco. Mr. Kltch'n hop s, however, he may be sMe to at least keep the tax down to a min imum. If a tax is put on tobacco the far mers and the consumers, it is said, will besr the burden. While the to bacco manufacturer will have to pay I the tax this yrar on such packages of goods as have already been put up. the large part of tt w!l! fall on the farmer who grows the weed, and the man who ehews and smokes tt. Tobacco, like optton, has bro?^ hard hit by thfwar. TobaOcomen claim that It will be an Injuatlce to | place aa additional burden on the I growers by ^?vylng a war tax for ' national defease.

Illstorleal'y we did our best to make them know the real meaning of a "Thanksgiving," and how very much our President of the United Stat' a and the Governors of the several States endeavored to make tho whole nation know the manner In which It should be celebrated. The deportment of all was ex- ? cetlent. We have organised a free light school for all who will attend. We t'achers have duties Incum beat upon us, vis: to take care of the buildings and grounds. Our flrnt efforts wl!l be for beautifying the Interior of the building, the second the grounds In various ways. We asxed our patrons to asalst us In getting aorae curtain, etc., for the different rooms. They helped us to tho amount of near six dol lars. Thus far, 'we hare a large at tendance. We are badly Inconren Icnced In the lack of desks and blackboards. We are doing our best to make our school one of the best la the county. We feel that ew have the co-opsrstion of OUT progressive County Superintended. Board o; Education and our oommlttee and patrons.
