St. Augustine Special CLARK HITS BACK HI ins (BY MAX ABERNETHY) Raleigh, March. 9. Chief Justice Walter Clark's concurring opinion in the case sent up by Judge Ben Long questioning Commissioher of Reve nue A. D. Watt's ruling that members of the judiciary should pay their State income taxes will go thunder intr down the acres as an opinion of opinions. There was no division of opinion in the high live as to the question at issue and Associated Justice Stacy settled the case for the court by writ ing the court's" interpretation of the constitution, holding that the tax could not be levied. But the chief justice got into action himself and makes the bells ring. Commission er Watts must bear the brunt of what Chief Justice Clark wrote since the opinion referred repeatedly to "the defendant tax collector" who was seeking to do a very improper thing by taxing the income of mem beis of the judiciary. If the commissioner of revenue really wanted to increase the state's revenue he could find "many mil lions" Judge Clark says, by obey ing the law, the state constitution, which plainly points the way. This way does not permit the exemption or all moneys," credits, stoeks," in vestment in bonds, the chief justice holds, which is now being done and which is well known to the com missioner of revenue. But instead of placing the tax upon the "weal thy corporations" of the state the commissioner does his best to wring from the judges "a paltry ,sum" which would not exceed one thous and dollars," says Justice Clark. Overlooking the "canned wealth" owned by "great corporations," the chief justice wonders why this ef fort was made to tax "25 judges and I seven heads of the executive," tne llatter being the governor, lieuten ant governor, secretary of state, 'treasurer, auditor, state superin 1 onlnt. of nublic instruction and the attorney general, in direct viola tion of the state constitution. But he confesses that Commissioner 'Watts is endeavoring, honestly, of course, to swell the state's coffers and therefore he tells him how it . can be done. Tax the "great corporations;" cit izens of wealth, the stocks, bonds credits and the like, but never again return to a heartless' corporation a tobacco corporation $110,000 of the people's money, without asking the supreme court to review the case. Taken by and large the chief just ice's opinion is all that the court wanted to say in deciding a case and then some. T USE NO TICKETS By the Associated Press.

Of the synod's quota $247,599.00 will go to foreign missions. There s much interest in foreign mission work in this synod, two entire sta tions are supported by two church- es. the first cnurcn oi w-iimington and the First church of Durham. Dr. H. L. Timmons, a graduate of the Charlotte Medical College, has returned to Korea to the Soon- chum station which is supported by unds contributed by the late George W. Watts of Durham. Dr. Tim mons went to Korea some eight years ago and was forced to return, after four years work, having contracted the deadily eastern disease of Sprue. Dr. Timmons has been in this country for iour years and at tributes his recovery o the prayers of, the Korean Christians. A num ber of these Christians agreed among themselves that they would pray for Dr. Timmon's recovery until he re turned to them. Dr. Timmons was an architect and contractor before he studied medicine. He built the hospital at Soonchun, the church, the school and the residences of the missionaries. After building the hospital, he trained the nurses and assistants. Dr.. Timmons located in Colorado upon his return to Am erica, where he feit the climate was suited for his recovery, and com menced the practice of medicine. It was not long until his practice assum ed such proportions that he was forced to erect a hospital. The Southern Presbyterian church has been trying for a year or more to secure doctors lor the Korean fields. Dr. Timmons' health having improved, he fielt the call again to volunteer for this wfcrk and the committee decided to send him out, even though they were aware of the fact that his health had been un dermined and that he was probably risking his life. Dr. Timmons sac rificed a fine practice in going back to Korea. His salary for the year will not equal the amount he made monthly in America. It is said that overwork is largely responsible for the physical break down of mission aries. If the work was better fi nanced so that the men and women who are now colunteers for the Mis sion Field could be sent out imme diately, Missionaries could take more frequent furloughs and they woum be able to stand the strain much better The churches in this county have been assigned the quota named be low for the assembly, synod a!nd Presbyterial benevolent causes. To these amounts will be added the am ount each church will need for local Benevolent work and the amount needed for current expenses. Hickory, $3412; Newton, $1709; Sherrill's Ford, $466.

QUOTA BICYCLE BAND T HI OUT GREAT INTEREST IN MEETING HERE Masterful and inspiring addresses by Prof. M. A. Honline of the In ternational Sunday School Associa tion and Mr. D. W. Sims, general su aerintenclent of the North Carolina Sunday School Association, featured he sessions of the Catawba County Sunday School Convention at the Corinth Reformed church yesterday. 3oth speakers held the close atten ion of the audience of Sunday school workers and made powerful appeals n behalf of better teaching and training of the young- people. The Catawba county convention opened yesterday at 3:30 o'clock. Ses sions will be held today and tomor row at 3:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. Mr. Sims and Prof. Honline will igain be among the speakers. The invention will close with two ses sions tomorrow, the 10th, at the same l inni'5. The record indicates that 16 Sunday schools were represented at the open ng sessions and that among those jresent were 9 preachers, 12 Sun lay school superintendents and 77 Sunday school teachers. )Mr. Sims address on "The Weak- Link in the Sunday School" was one j r j 1 a . j i.l . I )f the most interesting addresses heard by the workers of the city in some time. He showed that tram ng of the young people in the teens was most important job for the Sun day school. The children from birth to thirteen, and also the adults are receiving a great deal more consid eration in our religious educational Drogram, both as to material for instruction and equipment for work. The children's division and the adult division he called the strong links in the Sunday school, while the teen age, or lyoung people's division in cluding pupils f;rom 13 to 20 years, .s the weak link. He gave facts and figures to show the weakness of the link and also the importance of making it as strong if not sti'ong ;r than the other two. It is on this weak link that the devil generally makes his attack, ?aid the speaker, and this is the pl?ce where the average Sunday ?chool gives the least help. Statis tics, he said, showed that 71 rj2r ?ent of all criminals committed their first crime during this period. Eighty four percent of all conversions occur during the same period. Ninety one percent of the decisions for life are m'ade before the boy or girl is "'O years of age, and 97 per cent of all missionaries make their decision during that period. The Children's division is guided by others; the adult by reason. The young people are not guided by either. They are guided by the ?ang. The average boy in his teens pays more attention to the opinion of the gang than he does to his father and mother. You might as well quit trying to drive them. He is as shv of parental authority as he was shv of girls a few years before If a bov is not in Sunday School ' there are generally three reasons. In lie first place, some woman is try :ng to teach that class of boys trom 13" to 20. I am not criticising wom en who are teachers for when it yets down to technical teaching wom--n are apt to "do it better than men. But. that isn't all a boy needs. He ; needs eomi'adeship and veadership. The second reason, there is liable to be over-pious men teaching that lass.

Although Hickory is one of the few cities that will have been vis ited by "Rose of Washington Square" prior to its New York engagement which will take place less than two weeks following the date at the au ditorium on Thursday, March 9th, the press reports from the cities thus far visited are of such character that much is expected when "Hose" comes here under the auspices of the Hickory post, No. 48 American Le gion. Likewise the local management has received information throug'h private sources that the show is of a standard that has not been enjoy ed in this city for a long period. In cidentally the determination of the Astor Producing 'Company to retail "Rose" at a sale of prices much less than that usually charged for an attraction of simila"? standing has s'erved to pack the theatres in every city thus far visited. Many extra matinees have been the rule. The following from the Asheville Citizen is typical of newspaper re views everywhere the attraction has played: The Astor Producing compauny's "Rose of Washington Square" 1 was presented last night at the Audito rium to an ;audience, the size of which was not in keeping with the class of the attraction offered. What the audience lacked in size, howev er, it made up in appreciation, and the offering easily won for itself the name of an above the average at traction. The fact that the scene was part ly laid in the mountains of West ern North Carolina and that "Ashe ville" and "North Carolina:V were mentioned several times throughout the play helped local interest along. Miss lone OM-tpnell as Cynthia, Rose Hickman or Honey Bunch, proved herself more than capable of playing the leading role. Her vo cal selections was well received and her violin renditions served to break what little monotony might have crept into the evening's perfor mance. 'Looking for Someone," and "Carolina" were two of Miss OODonells most popular songs. Arthur Blackallei-, nature's noble man, known in the play as Ensley Hickman, brought back memories of Fi-ank Bacon as "Lightnin Bill," Jones in "Lightnin." He played his part especially well. Miss O'Donnell and Mr. Black aller were supported by a cast ana chorus that aided materially in making "Rose of Washington Square" worth seeing. RESIGNS HIS POST Sy the Associated Press. London, March g.Edward Samuel Montague, the secretary for India, tendered his resignation for India today and it was accepted. The Indian policy of Secretary Montague was' subjected to attack in the house of commons last month b Sir William Johnson Hicks, who de precated the secretary's . idea of "trying to govern India according to lihoral and hnme-mlp lrlenls."

C, March 9. On the request of the defense, who plead ed the illness of T. M. Pittman, its leading counsel, Judge Oliver H. Al len in superior court here today or dered the continuance ox the case against George A. Wyeoff, W. F Wooten and Ii. T. Stokes', charged with conspiracy in connection with alleged incendiary hres occurring here within the past year. -'Judge Allen overruled the protest of the prosecution that harm would be done by the delay and ordered con tinuance. In addition to Mr. Pitt- man, the defense contended that ill ness of a relative of Wyeoff, who was wanted at the trial, also prevented consultations which were necessary The defendants, two of whom have been held in the Wake county jail and one in the Durham county jail, are to be sent back to those prisons or safe-keeping, the defense announc ing that it would not ask for re duction of their bonds. Order for continuance was made following Judge Allen's refusal to remove the case or select a jury from another county. By the Associated Press. ,' - Burlintttwn, Vt., March 9 James R. Howard, president of the Ameri can farm bureau federation, speak ing before the northeastern section of, the federation last night- said he did not favor the federation becom ing activey engaged in the forma tion of a thinrd. political party.

EASTilA MILLS TO RUN HALF v TIME ' By the Associated Press. Gastonia, N. C, March 9. At a meeting today of the Gaston county spinners'' association, at which more than 5,000 spinnerjfe were repre sented, it was agreed to put into ef fect an. immediate drastic curtail ment.

Washington, March 9 Pronounc ing the four-power Pacific, treaty, Sen ator Robinson, Democrat of Arkan sas, in renewing senate discussion on the pact today, declared it would hot promote peace, but result in the for mation of alliances which would lead to rivalry and ultimately war. URGES FARMERS OUT OF NEW PART! By the Associated Press. - , Washington, March 9. Controller of Currency announced today that in the enactment of soldiers' bonus legislation he would advise national banks to accept the certificates as security for loans ,Mr. Crissinger described the whole p'an of issuing adjusted certificates at 80 per cent of their loans as the worst kind of frozen credit and declared that while he would be without authority to order national banks to refuse them as' security, he would strongly ad vise them to refuse them. The certificates would be negotia ble paper, Mr. Crissinger explained, and loans on them would load the banks up for a three-year term which they cover with paper that could not be negotiable. The certificates would be similar to real estate loans which are not re discountable at federal reserve banks, he said, and are far from the liquid security best for the banks'. EXPLAIN REASON FOR REFUSING COOPERATION By the Associated Press. Washington,, March 9 Refusal of the United States to participate in the Genoa conference may be view ed as the first step in a campaign of "tactful pressure" to promote economic rehabilitation of Europe, it was said today by a high official of the American government. It shou'd he't be regarded, this of ficial said, as the United States wanting to hold aloof from the grave conditions confronting in Eu ropean countries. Secretary Hughes' note to Italy conveying the declination of the U. S. to pattklpate in the conference should be regarded as meaning that this country is willing to aid wher ever, possible. The United States shou' 1 not be expected to take part in abeyance until such a time as the European nations 'get down to brass tacks in setting their houses in or der. Without conLsiflViration of these suggestions in the view of the United States there could be no practical attempt at world-wide rehabilitation While it was thought probable there should be a -change in the Genoa con ference before its meeting April 10 American officials said the United States might send representatives to report the proceedings for this gov ernment.
