A I months' trial will be given the company and unless the vork is more satisfactory it will--be disbanded. Capt. Langdon praised espe cially neatness of the hall, and the work of Quartermaster Hay worth in keeping the storeroom in good shape. It is to be hoped that the efforts that are now being put forth by Capt. E. L. Auman to recruit and build the company to its proper standing will meet with favor. Asheboro needs the company, for it brings us some money, and there might be a time when it would be needed. Every young man who can do so should join.

INCOME TAXES: Will Net Uncle Sam Fifty Millions. The income tax law bids fair to live up to the expectations of the Administration by pro ducing about $50,000)00 annu ally in revenue, paid by close through treasury officials de cided not to make public for the present the reports of in ternal revenue collections on the income tax, it; became known that more than 400,000 individuals had made returns in the 63 collection I districts. From these individuals it was understood that the Government probably would collect more than $50,000,000. It has been the opinion among officials that thousands of individuals would j take ad vantage of the 30 days exten sion of time granted in cases of absence and sickness and to show at least 25,000 -more reporting than were jjgiven in the preliminary lists from col lectors. If they are j not mis taken in this view, the actual results will be close to the esti mates made at the time ti legislation was before Congress. This agreement officials are in clined to believe will hot only include the number subject to the tax but the amount to be collected. M Including the corporation tax as amended in the present law, it was estimated that the annual revenue from this source would amount to about; $85,000, 000. ;. U Thompson-Smith.

The tendency is to leave this off and count their labor as nothing. For instance, one item tells of a farmer near Newton who made twelve bales of cotton all without hiring any hem for a minute.. It says this farmer picked a bale of cotton every three davs. It is doubtful if any grown man can pick that much cotton in three days, ant very few can pick half f. it.

Julian, secretary of the Randolph county branch of the Farmers' Union, has addres ed the following letter to the members of the Union over the county : My Dear Sir and Brother: Thinking that a word from your County Secretary yould not be amiss just now, I am wrifting a word of en couragement. In my opinion, the work of the Farmers' Union has been greater source of Education on the real conditions that interest the farm ing class than any other subject that they have met in the last decade. Equity, justice and Golden Kule is good enough for us all, and then co-operation standing shoulder to shoulder, neighbor helping 'neighbor, forgetting self, finding out' where we can do the most good to tne great est number, but where the Union has set up business, giving patronage to the business houses where farmers have gut t&eir money into a business to help the Union and not to pay any attention to the people who try to break up the united effort of the farming class, who have found their brethren in stores and various enter prises, that they .may save to them selves part of the middle man's mon ey, for his own pocket. My advice is to nom on to wnat we have won, and yield to none in the effort to better the condition of the class that produces everything, and labor honestly for the upbuilding, of every purpose, that effects the welfare of man and as the spring time comes you will find agents of every kind on the road, selling guano, implements, machinery, and in fact, everything that the farmer needs in his work. butdon't forget -that when you buy this way that the agent must be paid a.nd that you pay him in the price or"wnat you purchase. So lets buy from our own stores and thus share first in lower prices and also in dividends. Put in some stock where the Union has already set up busi ness, and help -make the effort strang er and in doing business united we can get the benefit of better prices obtained by being able to buy in larger Quantities. The Randolph-Supply Company is now about to wind up its first year very successfully showing what can be done by a united effort. Now, brother count up what you have saved on guano, sugar, shoes, in fact everything that you have bought and see if you have not savedby thi3 one enterprise quite anice sum. As one of the .members of this effort I ask continued patronage for the coming year. Yours with many good wishes, WM. R. JULIAN, Co. Seer - i V- ! r -tv- ft v l .ft v -V--- "-- - -
