He said the trip had done much in advertising Hendersonville and was worth all it cost and then some. W. F. Penny then went to the bat and knocked a home run with a mighty appeal for co-opera-tiort. At the sound of the bell, Lee Whitmire came up out of his corner and hung everybody on the ropes when he told how the whole Henoca pilgrimage escaped the chamgang while they were "doing" Florida., Doctor Siler, the new Methodist pastor, made a pleasing response to the call of the toast master and af ter expressing his pleasure at beina a Hendersonvillian for the time being said that the town had a great future before it. . rw. w p Kirk resDonded to Hen dersonville as he found it 20 years ago" and contrasted the town of then . and the city of now.

He said he had al ways liked Hendersonville and that he had borrowed money from his father in the long, long ago to come here to call on his then sweetheart. Mr. Hodges said that he and his eo-entertainer, Mr. Wells, had no mo tive in giving the "boys" the enter .inment they had furnished other i han just as a general get-together-l i ys meeting.

CITIZENS BANK MADE TREASURER Citizens National Bank Receives County Treasurership by Act of State Legislature. This week the county commission ers designated the Citizens National bank to act as treasurer of Ilender son county, this action on the part of the commissioners being done as a result of the recent legislation separating the offices of tax collec tor and treasurer. It is understood that the bank re ceives no pay for handling the coun ty funds other than those derived from the ordinary channels of the banking business. The bank will be requested to give a bond equal in size to that formerly required by the it-ounty treasurer. NEW TAX LAW EFFECTIVE Changes in federal taxes voted by congress last month went into force T nMiry 1. Here is the manner in wiiich 'V effect the average citi- zen. ' When you ride on a railroad train you will no longer have to pay the government eight per cent of the amount of your fare. When you ship freight you will not he assessed an extra three per cent iot the cost. You can semi package; by express or parcel post without be ing assessed a war tax. When you visit the corner drug si ore for a bottle of patent medicine, a tube of tooth paste, or a toilet preparation you will escape the vexa tious stamp tax. Penny Burden Passes Away No longer will your pocket have to be filled with some jingling pennies when you go to the soda fountain for a drink or a plate of ice cream. Uncle Sam will not collect his 10 pel cent on the prices. If you desire to sport a pair of shoes costing more than $10 or a shirt costing more than $3 you will i not have to lay out a tax. These and all of the other so-called luxury taxes on clothing, as well as those j on umbrellas, parasols, sun shades, picture frames. trunks. valises, pockctbooks. etc., go into the discard , today. 1 If you live in a place that can boast of a 10-cent "movie" show or i other place of amusement you will not be assessed a penny tax. If the charge uxcee'ds 10 cents, however, ; you will continue to pay a war levy , at the'ratc of a cent for eacn 10 f cents or fraction. Income Exemption Increased The normal income tax exemption for married men with an income of $5,000 or less during 1921 is increas ed from $2,000 to $2,500. Single men are given no additional exemp tion and can deduct only $1,000 from their net income. All heads of families with depend i vpry ' ents get a slight reduction in their erson- income tax as a result of the increase from $200 to $400 in the exemption because of dependents. I Manufacturers of chewing gum, fur articles, musical instruments, sporting goods, etc., have their taxes repealed. Soft drinks, candy, and works ot art are the subjects of sharp reductions. There Are Still Taxes, However New taxes of five per cent of the amount when the sale price exceeds given sums are placed on carpets and rugs, traveling articles, , motor cars and waeons. smoking supplies, photo graphic articles, radio and cable mes sages, firearms, jewelry made of precious metals, aricT slot , vending machines P.W.ENGLISH HAS ACCIDENT P. W. English Ha Unfortunate Ac cident in Asheville; Give Out Statement. (Asheville Citizen.) Kathleen Wyatt, pretty 19-yQiar-old nurse at St. Joseph's sanita rium, died at 12:30 o'clock this morning in the BUtmore hospital, af ter being struck by an automobile driven by P. W. English, of Hender sonville. The fatal accident occurred at 10 o'clock, directly in front of St. Joseph's, on Biltmore avenue. Mr. Jb-nglish. after his car had struck the young nurse, went back and carried her in his arms, 'an other driving, to the Biltmore hos pital. Here it was found her iniuries were serious, consisting of several broken and fractured bones, and a severe scalp wound. She was in a comatose condition, and never re gained full consciousness. On a charge of reckless driving, Mr. English made bond in the , sum of $2,500, returning to Henderson ville. An additional charge of man slaughter will be preferred, police stated last night. Miss Wyatt was getting off the car while it was standing on the switch, according to information last night. She was returning to her duties after spending the evening in Asheville, the superintendent at St. Joseph's states. The deceased was a daughter of J. A. Wyatt, of Newbridge. A brother, resident of this city also survives. Mr. English Makes Statement On Thursday morning a represen tative of The Times called on Mr. tnghsh at his place of business near k. Lewis and Son's department store and we give his version of the un fortunate affair: "I was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Belvin Jackson on Biltmore hill. I carried them to the Imperial theatre in Ashe ville and back to their home after at tending the show. I started in my car back to Asheville. On top of the hill between Biltmore and Asheville the street ,car was coming towkv! : Birtmore and my car going to Ashe- ville. The street car stopped and I slowed up while passing. I was going at a reasonable rate of speed when I met the street car. The victim of the accident. Miss Kathleen Wyatt, stepped off the street car on the op posite side from which I was driv ing. She ran around the rear end of the street car crossing the track and coming on to the street in front of my car. 1 attempted to stop my car and in the effort to do so I ran into a pile of brick disabling my car. I was too near Miss Wyatt to pre vent my car running over her. "After the accident I called a pass ing car driver to stop and help me, which he did. We took the wounded girl in the other man's car to Bilt more hospital, I holding her in my arms, he driving his car. The doctors who examined Miss Wyatt's injuries informed me that she could not live. "I went unaccompanied from the hospital to Asheville police headquar ters and surrendered to the police. I arranged bond and returned to Hendersonville." HIS BEST EXTINGUISHER Mr. Budger and his wife were continually at variance regarding their individual capacities of mak ing and keeping a good fire. He contended that she did not know how to make a fire, or how to keep one after it was made. She, on the oth er hand, maintained that he never meddled with the fire that he didn't put it out in short, that he was a regular lire damper, and as he was always anxious to stir up things in the various fireplaces, she made it a practice of hiding the poker just be fore it was time for him to come into the house. One night there was an alarm of fire in the village, and Budger flew for his hat and coat. "Where are you going?" asked the wife. "Why, there's a fire, and I'm go ing to help put it out." "Well, my love," responded Mrs. Budger, "I think the best thing you can do is to take the poker with you." Everybody's Magazine. MRS. HOLLINGSWORTH WILL GO TO BOYLSTON Mrs. C. E.
