RE VEX UE COMMISSTOXER WATTS MAKES STATE3IEXT Penalties Will Be Collected In Every Case. Commissioner of Revenue Watts has sent out the following state ments to newspapers: i "Where no extendo- have been granted, taxnave failing to mak income tax returns and nav tho tax- es due on or before March 15th 1922 together with five per cent oenaltv, which penalty in no case shall be less than one dollar and one per cent tor eacn month or fraction nf s month during which the tax remains unpaid from March 15, 19 22. These i penalties will be collected in every case. "All penalties may easily be avoid ed by taxpayers making their income tax returns and paying the taxes due on or before March 15, 1922, or by securing extensions, where law fiil reasons exist for extension, when only simple interest will be collected in addition to the tax. "Attention is again called to the fact that the income taxes paid to sheriffs and county tax collectors during the fall of 1921 and the first part of this year are faxes levied on tfy? incomes, of taxpayers for the cal endar year of 1920, and not for 1921. Returns are required from all sin gle persons and married persons not living with husband or wife whose net income is $1.00 or more, and from all married persons living to gether whose net incomes are $2,000 or more. Net income is the gross income less the deductions allowed by law, but personal exemptions are not included in these deductions. For this reason a very large number of persons are liable to make returns wlio gaxot-4ay-' taxesJ,.,.

VICTIMIZED COLORED PEOPLE A Certain "Mr. Toms" Of Uncertain Address Has Been Operating In the County Selling Worthless Life insurance For Good Money, It is Alleged. Last week, it is alleged, a tall man, wearing a dark overcoat with a fur collar and a light gray hat, collected at least one-half dozen ner- fsctll ood 10-dollar bills from a number of colored citizens over in the "Hurricane." The money col lected being the first payment on a $5,500 insurance policy, the com pany on which the policy is held not being known, as the hoodwinked policy-holder discovered to their consternation that they neither have a policy nor receipt for their hard earned "ten-spot" The salesman, who, it is stated, was from Asheville, had so beguiled them with his gilt edge chatter, that some of his duped victims are still expecting to receive their policy from headquarters as a part of the contract, one of his prey being so taken with the smooth talking salesman that he transported him into Durham in his buggy.

J vances in value appealed to Insur ance Commissioner Stacey W. Wade Tuesday for heln in erettinar back wnat he had lost, and to save him what he is about to lose. This time it is the Instant Heat Company of America, and the com plaining citizen is H. H. Murray, of Oxford, who bought thirty shares of the stock for $16 per share tinder the spell of the vision of quick pro fits. There are no profits, the stock is practically without value, and the egent is gone, according to the story told the commissioner. The first block of stock was bought in June. It paid monthly di vidends, andloqked to be a winner. In Decerabpr the agent came back. Bankers had offered to take all the stock aj $22.50 per-share, but as a special favor to share-holders, a special price of $16 would be made. Moreover, the (company would buv it in. at $22.50, if - the purchaser was dissatisfied. Mr. Murray took on twenty more shares, paying half cash and the remainder in notas. Now dividends have stoppec, and, ln- A 11 1 - I. quuy as to tne vaiue ot the stock reveals the fact that it can be bought in quantity for $3.50. The com pany will not buy it back, pay divi 4ends, or return the notes. Mr. Wade says that there is noth ing he can do. The agents have gone taking with them all the money they get their hands on. They had no license to do business In the State and consequently there Is no guaran tee fund put up to safeguard the purchaser of stock. Mr. Wade again warns the public to beware of all stock-peddlers. ANOTHER FOOL AT THE STEERING WHEEL Collision Of Bus And Train Results In The Death Of 16 Persons. Cleveland. 0-, March 6.
