For days the Carnegie library has been besieged with demands for the works of this beloved North Carolinian and former resident of -Charlotte, and for biographical works in which Mr. McNeill's life history is given. This has been largely due to the i movement started by the Women's Club of the city in behalf of a memori al day in the city schools and also to aid in the movement to raise a suffi cient fund to establish or erect a suit able memorial to the memory of John Charles McNeill.

In a score or more of the rooms this afternoon special exercises were held in honor of John Charles Mc Neill. The fact that there were no auditoriums in which the entire attend ance at each school could gather, made it necessary that the memorial exercis es be confined to the individual rooms, but this did not detract from the in terest shown in the programs arrang ed for each room. Most of the teachers had previously allotted parts of the program to 3ifT- J f er tax erent pupils, some being called upon! to recite from the rich collection of' lyrics which go to make up much of Mr. McNeill's verse, and others to read biographical sketches of his life, and, still others to present criticisms of the work of this North Carolina genius, i At High School. The most elaborate program of the afternoon was that scheduled for. the city high school on Ninth street, where several of the grades assembled togeth er to participate in a very fitting and interesting program. This program be gan with the singing of "Way Down Tluon the Suwannee River," sung by neasure before the regular honso committee. Mr. Keesler's Add res. The following is a synopsis of the remarks and reports which Mr. Kees ler made today before the banking rnd currency committee of the house: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: I presume it is an accepted fact that the farmers throughout the union, save, perhaps, in ?. very few highly favored sections, are in urgent need of cheaper money with which to grow and market their crops. It is equally true that the farming interests demands cheaper and moro abundant money if progressive steps are to be inaugurated and maintained, and this vast and important class of our population made contented and prosperous and happy.

Chicago, Dec. ll.-Hearings in a suit attacking tht constitutionality of the income tax law were begun here to day before Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis in the United States district court for the northern district of llli nois. The medium selected for the test is a suit at law in which Elsie DeWolfe, former actress, a citizen of New York, now resident at Versailles, France is' plaintiff and the Continental and Com mercial Trust and Savings Eank cf Chicago is defendant. W. Bourke Coch ran, of New York, and Colin C. H. Fyfee, of Chicago, appeared for Miss DeYVoile, and Levy Mayer, of Chi cago, ror tne Dank. Miss DeWolfe. owner of 30 of the Appalachian Power Company's 5 per cent Donas, was refused payment by the bank of interest due on the bonds December 1st, last, because she had not filed the certificate of ownership which the bank contends is required by the income tax law. Her suit for in terest due and damages in the sum of 31,000. ...... In the presentation of his case At torney Cockran asserted that the law taxes only 423,000 pe rsons out of a pop ulation of ninety millions, which tax, he said, was imposed on them without their consent by the untaxed remain der of the population. Even if congress has the right to im pose this tax the lawyer said it was graded according to incomes with such gross inequalities as to violate the constitution. His client's income, he said, was more than i-20,000 a year on which she is taxed 1 per cent on all in excess of .yj.u'jy, ana an aauitional tax ot l per! T rejcent on all above $20.0i0.

Eager of the Seminary and he brought greetings from the 35 North Carolina students In the seminary, 30 of whom are receiving aid from the education beard. He stated that the total number of students in the seminary this year is 228. Ke then urged North Carolina Baptists to rally more liberally to the support of the students from this state. Foreign missions and state missions were the other interests presented this morning. During the past year the state convention has contributed $52,- 68'J to foreign missions and ?58;012 to state missions. The report on foreign missions cited the facts that of the 2C,C5a there are lu.i'-' that made no contribution to for eign missions the past year and of the 2,021 churches in North CaroMna 602 contributed nothing to the cause. The apportionment for foreign mis sions to the state convention this year is 552.&00 and the amount already rais ed on this is three thousand dollars in -excess of what had been raised "for, foreign missions at this time last year The amount to be raised for foreign missions this year by the Southern Baptist convention is 1343,000. The number of Baptisms reported on the foreign mission fields the past year is 4,532. an excess of 300 over the number reported the year before, and being mere than one third the number of baptisms reported in North Carolina where there are 2,000 churches and 1,200 pastors. North Carolina Baptists took an advance step last night liereattcr Christian education will take a place n tne Lvuget or tne nenevoience m churches along witth missions e orphanage. This decision was made after considerable discussion. A committee of 10 will formulate the plan report next year.
