GENERAL LIGGITT DENIES BIG LOSSES ON ARMISTIC DAY Says Remarkable Thiiu? Was That News of War's End Could Have Been Spread so Quickly.

AN OLD FRIEND GONE The Editor of the Public Ledger Knew Him Well. When the editor ' of the Public Ledger was a much younger man than he is today he held a position for a couple, of years, on the New York Herald.' In those days the Herald was the one journal, in the countrv -and it never failed to tell who the next president of the United uiaico nwuiu uv -... x' vious to the election. It gave a man standing as social and business au thority if it were known that he "took" The New Yofkv Herald. But for a score, of years, the. old paper had been living on tradition. Thousands of people were still true to it, oven though they recognized the fact that it was-not what it once was. And now The Herald has been bought up by Mr. Munsey ' and the curtain has fallen on the stage of the Bennett order of journalism. . We may now expect to see, our old friend, the Herald, wearing- sensa tional headlines on the front page. utntoo nrnum no epvph iiiiiiiiiin i ih- Farmer's Meeting There will be "a meeting; of the Farmer's Club at Stem on Saturday, January 24, at 2 o'clock in the after noon.

BE THE ' NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES the Progressive Republicans And Together On Hoover, Then Hoover Would Be the Next President, of the United States. ... ; Jfuch talk in Democratic circles this week indicate that Mr. McAdbo, who was lost sight of during the Bryan-Hoover boom, stands at the head of the list of presidential aspirants. As a matter of fact, says the Char lotte Observer McAdoo has been at no time .entirely eliminated, general discussions having been connected with some vague expression as Vbut what about McAdoo?" This hold-on characteristic would appear to in- dicate that the manifest efforts to bring him once more actively to the front may have good chances for materialization. The McAdoo guess has never been definitely discounted. It is becoming a little bit stronger.. There is a suspicion that renewal of the McAdoo talk might have heen in tended to operate in neutralization of the Hoover gossip, which had be gun to take a strong hold upon the people, which Mr. Hoover had en- 60jccuraged to the extent of making, through a mutual friend, his past political affiliation known. The fact 6r, iuax. u vti& in time guiie uy a, rru " l i n I? -l i 9 that he was in time 1 TV. juesbivt.' nepuDiican seemea to nave been accepted in Democratic . circles as an incident that might be worked into an asset, and when ' it became known that later on Hoover voted for Wilson, his cause was strengthen ed in the mind of a large element of American . citizenship. Then came the suggestion that Hoover should be nominated by the Republicans atlATE AR3IY BILL APPROVED Chicago,. June 8, and his nomination ratified by the Democrats at San Francisco, June 28.,; The strength of partisanry in this country would ' prove fatal to a preposition of the! kind. The Democratic National Con-: venticn would be as little inclined to' give endorsement to a candidate put forth by the Republican National; Convention as the Republicans would be inclined to endorse a Democratic nominee. ; , The Observer ventures the asser tion that if "the Progressive RetmbV iicans. and the National Democrats should get together r on Hoover, then H9averfwoul.d:.b-e:nextiPrea1i?- -"This is the most ment Day aid not mterv nate occasion for the November el-1 ection. Both Democrats and Pro gressive Republicans know this fact. The principles animating and con trolling the late Theodore Roosevelt would lead the people to believe that if he were living he would be found advocating such a plan. Our per sonal belief is that it would net prove fatally objectionable to President "Wilson. The Observer, would go so far as to advance the probability of that very proposition becoming of serious consideration by the leaders of the Progressive and Democratic k elements within the course of ante- convention developments. There miht be some doubt as to success with Hoover going before the country as a partisan Democratic candidate. There would be small element of doubt .with Hoover as the joint can didate of the Progressive and Demo crats." LAND VALUES IN THE STATE The Tobacco Crop Alone This Year Sold For Mbre Than All The As sessed Lands In 1917. Mr. Bion H. Butler, one of the best posted men in the State, was quoted iii' the Saturday's News and Observer as follows: "The total value of farms in the State as report ed by the commission is a little over ?246.377,000, which is hardly a third of the value of the" crops as Major. Graham of the Department of Agriculture figures thetm. The to bacco crop alone would buy the farms of the State, tobacco belt and all the rest, at the figures of the assessment reported for 1917. The cotton crop, including the seed, would almost buy all the farms at that valuation. Who thinks such a ridiculous val uation is correct? A ludicrous case is cited from the Camp Bragg region. The Petit farm was valued by the ap praisers at a trifle less than $6,000, against the protest of the owner, but he gave in, and the 100 acres with good buildings was taken and the government paid him the money last June with the privilege of harvesting his crop. From eight acres Mr. Pet it sold $6,400 worth of tobacco,- or a few hundred dollars more than the government allowed him for his farm. He also made on the farm corn, fruit, live stock and other crops, his garden caring for his fami ly, his hens providing poultry and his cattle milk,; butter and beef along with the meat his hogs supplied. Was his t farm ' worth $6,000? He thought it was, and resisted as long as he could the efforts of the govern ment to take it at that price, or even a much higher one." , HOLLAND DECLINES TO GIVE UP KAISER s A AS ALLIES DEMAND London, Jan. 22. -The Standard report that Holland VrepJy with re gard to the surrender of former Bm neror savs it is imDOSsilbe to grant extradation at the call of a third country if his own country does not demand extradation. i to eRsn NOfcLU REPORTED IN ENTBrlE COUNTY PyiUence In Mild Form In Other ons No Cause For Alarm As Djk.J.jA.

Pre valence of the disease in other sec-tiojnsi-of the country, even though in a trcry mild form, should cause no al arfii here, he said, especially .since thre;; was not a case in existence, so P0tf$ he had learned.1 The town and cpfbty have. been virtually free of ftB disease this winter so far. ::Dr. Morris called attention to the presence of measles in the county.

Many of the deser ters are without domiciles and are ex periencing such financial embarrass ment that, according to the French pdice, they have resorted to misde meanors such as petty thieving and larceny in order to procure the means of subsistence. The situation is such that the French authorities are planning a raid. Many of these American soldiers have suddenly found- themselves un able to move about the country be cause the railways by permission of the French government, are no?r charging full fare for uniformed men insted of one-fourth the regular rate as formerly. The , fare regulation also effects soldiers in the occupa tional zone at Coblenz, from which place the number of soldiers visiting Paris monthly totalled over 500.

Whittaker Had An Exciting Time With Moon shiners, s . , f f , (W. R. MANGUM) : Stem, N. C, Jan. 22.. ! Deputy sheriff W. H. Whitaker having had a presentment that there was blind tiger some where in the neighborhood just thig side of Knap of Reeds, last Friday organized a posse consisting of ;?lessrs A. M. Daniel, mayor of Stem, J. C. Winters and F. F. Parrish, too'i them on his Sedan, and motored out of Stem to wards Durham. ; At a point in the road on Indian Grave Hill, they left the auto and "proceeded stealthily in the woods in the - direction of the expected tiger. In a short time they walked up to the edge of a dense thicket and beheld some eight or ten men gathered around a real blockade still. Chief Whitaker hollered "halt" but instead of halting the men fled in various directions with the exception of one man who remained. A fire had' been 'started, and the work of making whiskev beeun at this nlace Chief Whitakerproceeded to tear up the. copper still and ; worm. As hements of tax due; was putting same in his car, two men returned armed with shot guns, but the four officers, all being heavily ! armed, no attack was made upon them the two going quietly away. Chief Whitaker and- nis three brave assistants arrived in Stem witli the worm and kettle late Friday after noon, which was tak6n to the Sheriffs office in Oxford Saturday morning. -Our community was shocked to learn the death of Mrs. Roger Aiken which occurred at her home at tne Webb place, Oxford route six, Tues day morning last. The deceaced had teen ill only a short time, having taken her bed Sunday with a severe attack of diabetes. ' Mrs.. Aiken had never united with any church but was in faith, a strong believer- in the doctrine of grace. . She was a most excellent woman, tenderly de voted to her family and friends. Perhaps there was not a happier wo man in all the country, when her son, Mr. Lee Aiken returned from France last vsar. She leaves behind a hus band three sons and one daughter, "j, The remains were interred Wednes day afternoon in the Morris burying ground near Shoo Fly. Mr. J.C. Winters, rroprictor of Stem Garage Company has 'retireci from business here and will open up trrase-,at Providence. The Gran- AuYdompah garage building formerly occupied by lvir, Winters, which they will occupy andjjavo a blacksmith shop run in room adjoining. The Granville Au to Company will also handle horses and mules. ' There are a great many sore arms in our community as a result of Dr. Morris last Wednesday when he vaccinated twenty-five persons. It is a common thing to see colored people from the mountain section with speckled faces who have just gotten out from an attack of small pox. It is a fact worth knowing triai the colored boys who were in the army, and took vaccination, have all escaped the disease, although com ing in contact with it. Mr. Pomp Daniel, a highly re spected citizen of Route 2, died last Sunday afternoon, aged 62 years. He was stricken with paralysis early Tuesday morning and sank rapidly. In early life he professed Christ and united with Mountain Creek Baptist Church and when he moved away he never moved his membership. The deceased leaves his wife, three sons and three daughters. His remains will be interred in the burying ground in the neighborhood of Shoo Fly this afternoon. - Mr. N. L. Clements, of Route three, and Mr. W. L. Haskins df Route one, each purchased 1 a Ford touring car last week. OXFORD SHOULD HAVE A f . CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Kind of Thrift That Builds Up a Community. An inspiring suggestion of how good organization work can put a town ahead, is given at Bonhflm, Texas.- The Board of Trade of that yt claims credit for promoting during the past year, the following develop ments: ., . Additional paving for the city, at a cost of $100,000. - A potato curing plant capitalized at $20,000, and holding 20,000 bu shels of pototoes. s , A compress and warehouse com pany, capital1 $40,000. A 1 natatorium, obtained by sub scription, cost $7,000. The Board is now promoting a bridge over the Red "River costing $125,000; The list given above does not include a number of private enterprises which the Beard fostered, one of these be ing a business school. The town named above is one of hundreds of Southern communities that are showing Go Ahead Spirit. Any town, wheather it be a large eity or a small country village, can accom plish results equaIy remarkable' in proportion to population and re sourced, if the people will take hold and work for progress. Much of this feeling has already been mani fested in Oxford. With this , com munity spirit, and a readiness "on the part of our people to work and talk for their home, town, it can ' advance and secure advantages previously re garded as impossible. . - YOUR INCOME TAX MTTST You Must Attend to This On Or Be- fore The 15th Day Of March. It is now time for the Income Tax. returns for the year 1919 to be filed, and within a few days forms for this purpose will be in the hands of all corporations and individuals who have heretofore fisted, returns. Thost who are liable to file returns and do not receive a form should make ap- : plications at once ' for forms upoh which to make their returns. The State has recently been divid ed into ten divisions, with an office established in each division, in order to bring closer together the taxpayers and the Collector's office, this dis trict is as follows: ' s Raleigh, A. E. Bed'lingfield, Chief. Counties of Franklin, Wake, Gran ville, Vance, Warren Durham, Per son, Johnston, Chatham, Lee, Mooi-e, Cumberland, Hoke, Harnett The Burden Rests On You. From now until the bell rings on the night of March 15th, the annual returns covering income for 1919 will be figured out and filed by citi zens and residents, together with pay- The burdon of fulfilling this ob ligation is laid : by law squarely of the.shoulders of those who areAmeri; can citizens or residents. Every perV son must determine for himself whether his net income for 1919, fig ured yccording to the Revenue Law was Cjf icient in amount to require! a rcttrfl . ' If he is single, a return is required if his net income for 1919 was $1000 or over. A widow or widower.- is classeji as a. single person. A man or woman living apart from his wife or nusoana is also classed as a sin gle person." . , : If he was married and living with hisWife on Dec. 31, a return is re- ' quired if his net income for 1919 was $2000 or over. In his net income he must include that of his wife and minor children, if any. Ji it a tax is duevon his income, ne must make payment with his return. x This payment may be made in whole v or in part of the due. At least one -quarter of the tax must accompany retum The filing and paying must be 1 done before midnight of March 15th, or he is classed as a delinquent and is subject to severe penalties. . XVomen And The Iiicome'Tax Women who had incomes during 1919 are reminded by Collector of Bailey, that they are subject to all of the provi sions of the Federa 1 Income Tax. Many thousands of women file re turns and pay taxes regularly, and there are new names added to this list each year. The high wages and salaries received by women last year v will perhaps double the number of the fair sex who are required to file returns. , 1 ' - , A public school teacher, or other city, town, county and State em ployeei is not taxed on her salary.or wages, but must file a return if her taxable income from otner sources v was sufficient in amount to come within the law's definitions. , J An unmarried woman, a widow, or a married woman who is living apart from her husband, must file an In come Tax return if her net income for 1919; was $1000 or over. - : She is entitled, to an exemption on the first $1000. of her' income! If she is the head of a family-as defin- . ed in the income tax regulations, she . may claim $1000 'additional exemp tion. Also, she may claim further, exemption of $200. for each person : for whom ehe is the chief support, if : the dependent is under 18 or is men- - , tally or physically defective.
