' >■ '--Ir-L VOL. 35 PLYMOUTH, N.C., FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1924 NO, 39 PRIMARY ELECTION GOES OFF SMOOTHLY Stacey Wade Leads Balloting- in Washing-ton County, George P. Pell a Close Second. y The county Democratic primaries held throughout Washington County last Saturday was marked by quiet, orderly crowds who cast ballots for their choice of the candidates running for nomination. The closest contest on the state ticket was between M. L. Shipman and Frank D. Grist for commissioner of labor and printing, who were staunchly supported by local admirers. The gubernatorial contest was not so hotly contested in the county except in Scuppernong precinct, where Mr. Bailey gained a slight majority over Mr. McLean. The senatorial contest was probably the most evenly divided than any of the others. In the congressional race Mr. Warren gained a large majority over the other three condidates, although A Mr> Mann received a considerably number of votes. Carl L. Bailey for house of repre sentatives was an easy -victor over his two opponents on the county ticket, and Holmes, for county , treasurer, gained a decided majority over his two opponents. As far As we know there was not bitterness of feelings between any of the candidates or their supporters. That you may have the exact result of tjhe primary, we herewith print thr entire vote as we have received «t from the board of elections: STATE TICKET vv * 'p For Governor: A. W. McLean .-. J. W.

Mr. Editor: May I express through your paper my appreciation of the magni icent support accorded me in the recent primary. Mere words a'e inadequate to properly express my gratitude. No man could have more loyal or truer frien's, and I wish them to feel that I also have the virtue of loyalty. The victory is not personal. All credit be longs to the hundreds of men and wo men who worked day and night in my behalf. That I may in a small degree justify the.faitU.audjjjouljdenfce ot my' friends is my singlewisn.

FORMER GOVERNOR CRAIG DIES AT ASHEVILLE HOME He Had Bccasin Failing Health for Several Years Fast Asheville, N. C., June 9.—Western North Carolina tonight is in mourn ing for its departed leader, Locke Craig, former governor of the state, whose death occurred at his home or the Swannanoa river this afternoon a* 2:38 o'clock following an illness of over four years. Only a few minutes before hit death the former governor smilingly looked upon those about him and indicated that he knew the end was near. His life faded as softly as the mists wreathed above the rushing river, and a little later over the hills came faintly the cadenced strokes of the fire bell tolling its mournful mes sage that the loved son of the moun tains would see them no more. CORPORATIONS ARE NOT EN TITLED TO A REDUCTION IN INCOME TAX UNDER THE REVENUE ACT OF 192) Capital Stock Tax Not Repealed ind Capita! Stock Tax Reluins Must Be . Sent and Payments Made to U. S. .. Collector at Raleigh, N. C. Dur ing Month of July There appears to be a misunder standing' as to the amount of income tax imposed upon corporations by the Revenue Act of 1924. Your attention is- directed to the fact that under the provisions of Sec-, tion 230 of the act the income tax on corporations is 12 lj-2 per cent, which is the same rate of tax appli cable for the taxable year 1923. Corporations, therefore, are not permitted to take as a credit any re duction in tax for the payment due June 15, ar any subsequent install ment date. The credit of 25 per cent is limited to individuals, and fiduciaries who are required to file returns on Forms 1040 or 1040A. Capital Stock Tax Return forms will be mailed as soon as received from the Commissioner. Mr. Corbett Swain of Skinnersville, was among our visitors this week. RECORDER'S COURT COMSUMES DAY.
