Troy Edwards Credited
With Killing Shot
A big female black bear met
ts end near Exum this past. C<
veek, a single charge of buck- j
shot from the gun of Troy Edvards
spelled the finish of the C<
inimal after many unsuccessful r
ifforts had been made to capture
t in traps.
Bears had been badly damaging
;he corn field of D. B. Edwards,
jrominent Exum farmer. The mi
creatures were too wise to fall fai
nto any of the traps laid for 9^
hem. Finally several neighboring |
'armers organized a bear hunt and
vith two good dogs, owned by |
Austin Phelps and Tom Edwards, P'
he bear was driven from cover. Co
rhe hunters were stationed about jn
m stands in much the same man- j,
ler as during deer drives. ' ^
In addition to Troy Edwards,,
vho got in the lucky h?ot, the j ^ '
ollowing men composed the hunt- ^
ng party, Sam Edwards, Layton J.
kfintz, Martin Herring, Austin j
'helps, Tom and D. B. Edwards. ^

Farmer's Income
Tax Due Dec. 15
Farmers Are Required To!
File Declaration Of 1943
Income And Pay Estimated
Tax By December 15
Making farm income tax re- j
turns for 1943 is one of the important
jobs to face Columbus j
^County farmers next month, says;
"br. I. O. Schaub, director of the!
State College Extension Service.
He points out that the farmer
is required to file a declaration
with the U. S. Collector of Internal
Revenue as to his 1943 income!
and pay the estimated tax on this
income on or before December 15.
To assist farmers in making
out these returns, the Extension
| Service has issued a special pub-|
blication, War Series Bulletin No.
27, entitled "Making Farm In[
come Tax Returns." Growers can
get copies at the county agent's
| office or by writing the Agricultural
Editor, State College, Ra-j
leigh.
I Application blanks for"filingj
the declaration may also be ob- j
tained at the office of the county j'
agent.
I Deputy Collectors will visit each |
| county before December 15 and
these men will assist farmers in
j competing their declarations. An-!
| nouncement will be made as to
|when the collector will visit your;
! county and his itinerary will be j
[given.
( The Collector of Internal Revenue
has pointed out that if!
there is a change in income or I
expenses between December 15,
and 31, such changes will be re- j
fleeted in the final report which I
the farmer must make on March!
