LINCOLNTON. N. C.
NOT IN VAIN
Greensboro News.
In the midst of the reeking: horror
near Morganton, in the midst of the
mist of blood and passion and mad
ness that obscures the Kiricaid mur
der, there is one gleam of magnifi
cence. It is the cry of the dying
woman when her husband was
charged with murdering her "No,
he hasn't'' It was Desdemona's lie,
the lie that the guardian spirit
blushed to report, and that the Re
cording Angel blotted out with his
tear3. "
Had it not been for this, the affair
would have been only a bestial and
revolting crime, from which men
would have averted their eyes, as
from a repulsive monstrosity. But
lighted by the splendor of a love that
was stronger than death it becomes a
great tragedy; and mankind, al
though horrified and revolted indeed,
is yet awed and fascinated.
The wretched ma is more irre
vocably damned by that cry than he
could be by the sentence of the high
est court in the land. Indeed, if he
has in him any of the elements of
manhood, it is easy to believe that
the greatest boon he could ask of
human justice would be a short
shrift; for all the rest of his days
that cry must ring in his ears. The
thunder of all the artillery of the
earth cannot drown it. The silence
of interstellar space cannot smother
it. Neither space nor time can si
lence it, nor tears nor penitence
obliterate the memory of it. His
eternal fate rests in the hands of no
human judge; but by his own act he
must have made of this earth a hell
whose torments are as appalling as
any that imagination can conceive.
But while her effort to shield him
has only heaped damnation upon the
head of the man she loved, this worn
an's great heart surely cannot have
loved in vain. It would be distressing
to think that there is in all North
Carolina a man so dull of soul as not
to pay tribute to her, and through
her to all womankind. In the drab
routine of everyday life it is easy to
for;;et, and a temptation to deny, the
existence of the magr'ficent possi
bilit'es m a woman s soui. There is
nothing to indicate that Mrs. Kincaid
had ever before given those .who
knew her reason to suspect that she
was more than a dutiful and affec-
tionate wife; yet when her hour
came she rose to the sublime this
Burke county woman proved herself
a match for the most beloved heroine
that human genius has ever been
able to imagine.
Ah, these women what man dare
even speculate upon what they are
capable of? For half a century the
modernists have been busily engaged
in proving them of the earth most
earthly. Freudians and Nietzscheans
have enalyzed and dissected their mo
tives; Shavians have laughed at their
sentimentalities; and a hord of dreary
"realists" have gained a certain repu
tation by blaspheming their power to
love. Then an obscure woman in the
hills of Burke a woman who pernaps
nevej heard of phychoanalysis or the
Fabian society, shows in the only in
disputable way that love is still migh
tier than the agonies of death and all
the theories are exploded, all the ob
scene idols of modernism are flung
prostrate in the dust, and the true god
reigns trigmphant once again.
This, scholars and literati and un
schooled men of North Carolina, is
realism indeed. Sour and dingy-spir
ited novelists may argre plausibly,
cleverly, even brilliantly the hypothe
sis that love is all illusion, that mar
riage is a failure, that romance is but
the vaporing of childish brains; and
out of such fancies they create the
liteiature that wc miscall "realistic."
But their power at 'iest is only suf
ficient to confuse and outargue theii
opponents; not a man of them has
ever dreamed of matching his strength
against that of all-conquering Death
The scythe of that reaper cuts away
their theories like grass, but.it could
make no impression on this fact. They
deny in books; this woman affirmed in
death. They may, perhaps, believe;
hut she knew.
No matter if the object of her love
was worthless. Her testimony is un
shaken by that. She has proclaimed
the power of unselfish devotion in
terms that cannot be denied. She has
proved to a world gnawed by doubt
and synicism that Death is only the
second power in the earth that Love
is his superior. Because there was
something in her life above self she
was able not merely to face the Arch
Fear calmly, but to ignore him. And
go in her mortal agony she stepped
out of the ranks of ordinary people
and became sublime.
On, no, she did not die In vain. Out
of her death has come a reaffirmation
of the old, old faith, a renewed inspir
ation for all the years to come. She
will be laid to rest by reverent hands;
and that is well, for her bier has an
invisible pall more splendid than any
country's flag the ineffable glory of
a woman's heart.
FISH AUTOMOBILE FROM
FIFTY FEET OF WATER
Raleigh Insurance Men Back Suspi
sion and Find Car While 500 Look
On.
Raleigh, July 18. North Carolina's
granite bed from which was quarried
the state capitol delivered a Hudson
super-six this afternoon from a depth
of 50 feet of water and a license plate
number 84 showed it had been the
property of Wilton Muse, Raleigh.
With that discovery the city is moved
to pump the absymal hole dry enough
to see how many machines, babies,
and grownups lie at the bottom. One
subscription of $100 has been made
and Fire Chief Hurbert Horton thinks
he can turn the trick in 48 hours
with the city's engine. The police
superintended the fishing party of
500 this afternoon. From the top of
the city's skyscraper bank buildings
scores watched the party more than
a mile away. The insurance men who
have been paying heavy theft dam
ages suspected the quarry hole as the
auto limo. Drivers with only bathing
suits as paraphernalia negotiated the
distance and hooked cables to the big
machine which came up with two doz
en tugging at it. They pulled it far
enough out to see the number. Young
Muse was present and watched the
resurrection of his machine bought
last year and insured it is said, for
$2,500,
Moral certainty that a King eight
and a Ford have been caught leads
police to hope for at least two more
deliveries tomorrow. Not only do in
surance men believe that the rockbeJ
is full of machines, perhaps 25; they
believe also that the human wreckage
may exceed the mechanical. Two dead
men have been found there in the past.
It once was a fashionable suicide re
sort, occasionally a failure being re
corded The police do not know how came
the insurance men to suspect the old
quarry. It took much persuasion to
send the divers there. L. Francis,
motorcycle salesmen artist and swim
mer, did the diving. Once the machine
caught deep under the water, where
upon he dived to the steering wheel,
turned it and changed the machine's
course. When it emerged from the
water he was riding it.
The people now think that the noto
rious Kelly who has been tried in the
local courts was at the head of the
automobile gang which mystifieid all
officers wherever they went early in
the present year, and late in the last.
The unusual demand for theft auto in
surance added to the suspicion that
not all the machines have been taken
by thieves.
The rock quarry is ideally situated
for drowning machines, Chief Glenn
thinks the water was the use of high
speed rather than shoving. The men
would open the throttle, stand on the
running board and leap before the
machine plunged. By that method no
marks were left on the banks.
That the Hudson did not reach the
bottom in 60-foot water is apparent to
diver Francis who thinks he did not go
deeper than 20 feet. The machine
doubtless rested on another and there
may be others under both. Continued
search tomorrow is expected to bring
up others.
may
der that an initial assessment
be made, thus avoiding penalty.
The penalty for failure to file a re
turn within the time prescribed is an
added assessment of 25 per cent of the
amount due, unless it is shown that
that the failure was due to reasonable
cause and not neglect.
In addition to the added assess
ment a fine of not more than $1,000 is
provided for failure to make a return
on time. For wilful refusal to make a
return wilful evasion of the tax
wilful refusal to supply information
requested by the Commissioner, or
attempting in any way to evade the
tax and payment when due, the penal
ty is a fine of not more than $10,000
or imprisonment for not more than
one year, or both.
With a view to the prompt collec
tion of the capital stock tax, and for
the convenience of the taxpayer as
well as the Government, the Bureau
suggests that corporations submit
checks with the jeturns for the
amount of tax due. This method is
appealing to corporations as it les
sens liability to penalty.

J. W. Bailey,
Collector.

The clouds turn a April showers;

Flirting with the rainbow's glance.
But when the raindrops weds a sun

The sun announces their carriage

JULY 31 LAST DAY
FOR FILING RETURNS I
The following statement is issued by
Collector of Internal Revenue J. W.
Bailey:
July 31 ig the last day for filing re
turns of ;the capital stock tax. To
avoid penalty, the returns must be in

date.
Blank forms are available at the of
fice of Collector of Internal Revenue
J. W. Bailey, Raleigh, N. C. Form
707 is required for domestic, and 708
for foreign corporations.
The capital stock tax is a special ex
cise tax imposed on corporations with
respect to "carrying on or doing bu
siness." The tax on domestic corpor
ations is $1 for each $1,000 or so
such of the fair average value of its
capital stock for the preceding year
ending June 30 as is in excess of
$5,000. Foreign corporations are re
quired to pay a tax at the rate of $1
for each $1,000 of their capital em
ployed in the transaction of business
in the United States without the bene
fit of the $5,000 deduction. The tax
is payable in advance, returns filed in
July of this year covering the taxable'
year beginning July 1, 1921 and end
ing June 30, 1922.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
estimates that approximately 325,000,
such returns will be filed, and that the
amount of revenue collected from this
source will be appraximately $90,000,
000. Returns are required of every dom
estic corporation regardless of
the par value of its capital stock, and
every foreign corporation irrespect
ive of the amount of capital employed
in this country in the transaction of
its business. Certain corporations not
organied for profit are exempt from
capital stock tax. The class of organ
izations entitled to the exemption is
described in regulations 50, revised,

amount to several hundred millions.
Such is the first summing up of
figures made by Co. A. D. Watts,
revenue commissioner announced to
day. When the horizontal reductions
are alt complete the commissioner
estimates that the wealth to the State
will be about $2,400,000,000. Sixty
three of 100 counties have completed
XI. .. .
vneir reductions and 45 of these are
in the hands of the commissioner.
Twenty-nine counties made no cuts
and eight are now going through the
process or revaluation .
The figures are most interesting.
No surprise attaches to the an
nouncement that Durham's per capi
ta wealth far in excess of the av
erage for the State and Dare has no
bitter rival for the lowest place. The
ur me oiaie was $i,z.iv.4:
per capita but only 29 counties did
better than the average. Wake wa3
one dollar better than the average
and Cleveland was one dollar below
it. Durham's is $2,899.49, and
Dare's is $530.92. Scotland has the
second highest per capita wealth of
any county in the State with $1,990,

Gastonia Gazette, 27th.
While lying asleep on the railroad

his body. Before anyone came to re,
move his body, the second section ot
No. 35, which closely follows the Srst
section, also ran over him.
The incident ocurred about a

Massey and a com Dan ion who w
with him were teen to sit down on the
track. Just before time for the train
to arrive a girl saw Massey's com

that they might get on the train. Mas

walked on to the station and boarded
the train.
Being rolled for quite a distance on
the track and then run over, Massey's
body was badly mangled and bruised.
One leg was cut off by the wheels. His
body was brought to the undertaking

and to await the arrival of the rail

the discovery of ways and means of

I can best get at what I have in

bits of political news that has come to
my ears for many months. The Demo

CONCLUDE CLASS WORK
AT MISSION CONFERENCE "
Newton July 24. The class work of
the Catawba college Reformed church
missionary conference was completed
yesterday. Rev. E. H. Gunther, of Sen
dai, Japan, led the class in the "How
and Why of Foreign Missions." Rev.
Dr. Chas. E. Schaeffer led the class in
"Home Mission Tasks.' He had the
largest class at the con "erence 50
members.
Misses Carrie Kershner and Cath
erine Miller, of Philadelphia, led the
young people's classes. There were
large groups of teenage boys and girls
who looked into the missionary life
of the church, some for the first time.
When class periods were on no young
peojile were seen on the playgrounds,
nor out autoing, nor walking in pairs
along such routes as pairs would
choose out. All were at the conference
for study.
A pageant, "From Darkness to
Light,' a missionary affair, prepared
y Miss Kershner
the college campus. More than 50
people took part.
Last night Rev. Mr. Gunther gave
a Stercoptican lecture on the home
life and work of the Reformed mission
aries in Japan. The pictures were his
own, taken by himself during the past
six years. It showed the life of the
people m bendai, Japan, th,eir homes,
industries, temples, modes of travel
just as the missionary on the fields
sees it from day to day.
The conference decided to hold the
fourth conference next year and make
it a full six-day conference. Delegates
say they will return next year. More
than 35 of the 67 congregations are
represented, some with their pastor
The object will be to secure at least
one delegate from every church.
