Among these alien registrars was Mr. Warren V. Hall, of Cleveland countv, who is chief clerk Labor Statistician Hamrick's office. This morning Mr. Hall said to a Times-Visitor man: "I am a citizen of Raleigh, have lived here two years and pay taxes here." The reporter wanted to right any in justice done Mr. Hall, so a party was sent to examine the tax books and he failed to find where Mr. Kali has listed or paid any municipal or county taxes here. If h has bon a resident of Ral eigh two years the sheriff and city tax collector should call on him for back taxes. MOORESV1LLE TO MOCKSVILlE. The New Road Will Begin Operations Within a Few Days.

The new road will make local fares and freight rates, from Winston, west and south, less than at present. With eight clear days the contractor tor can finish surfacing the road-bed. when it will be ready for trains and thoywill be put on as soon as this work is completed.

E. Crawford, the manager, also came up and returned yesterday to his home in Raleigh.

He will leave In a few davs for his home in Columbia, S. C. " REYENUE TAX Flirt h t Constructions Made oil the Act AFFECTS ALL CLASHES The Constructions Made bv Collectors in Kegxrd to Var ous Matters I're sented to Them. The following are decisions made by various internal revenue collectors, which represent probably rulings from the departmen: The tax on wine applies to all wines for sale, without regard to the purpose for which it is to be used and without regard to the length of time during which it is exposed for sale. Stamps must be af fixed to domestic as well as imported wines. In the case of domestic wines the stamp is to be affixed when the wines are transferred to the bottles for sale and by the person who makes the transfer. Foreign wine in bottles may be stamped abroad. The stamps may be cancelled by the importer be fore he sends them abroad, or they may be canceled at the time they are affixed to the bottles. The unferment od juice of the grape, whether bottled or not is not subject to taxation and need not be stamped. Where a retail dealer fills a bottle from a barrel for his Dar stock, from which he sells wine by tiie glass, he is not required to stamp the bottle. Bot tles of wine sold at retail over the bar are taxable and must be stamped. Where a customer calls for a pint of wine, bringing his bottle with him to be filled, the bottle must be stamped. Where the dealer who sells the wine furnishes the bottle it must be stamp ed. Flasks are considered as bottles and must be stamped accordingly. A farmer who grows his own grapes and produces wine he bottles for sale must stamp the same. Wines transferred to bottles by restaurant keepers and serv ed by the bottle with meals furnished by them must be stamped. The war tax law does not change the law previously existing relating to far mers or growers o'f tobacco. The far mer has a right to sell and deliver leaf tobacco of his own raisins in the origi nal hogshead, case or bale, or loose in the hand, but is not permitted to stem, twist, rool, plait, sweeten, cut or grind. or otherwise reduce the tobacco from its natural condition in which it was cured on the farm and sell the same to consumers. The farmer may not em ploy an agent to travel from place to place and sell and deliver his tobacco, but he may himself sell and deliver the tobacco in anv quantity. If the to bacco is sold on sample by an agent it must be delivered by the farmer or grower directly to the purchaser. There is no special tax imposed upon the far mer or grower for selling tobacco of his own growth and raising. Neither is he required to qualify as a dealer in leaf tobacco in order to dispose of his crop. , Passenger tickets for Ponce, Porto Rico, are not exempt from taxation. The military occupation of the island of Porto Rico by the United States army, the Commissioner states, and the signing of the protocol, have not cre ated such a condition as to render the island a United States possession to the extent of exempting from taxation passenger tickets to Ponce. Local carrier companies are not sub ject to taxation for the conveyance of .roods within citv limits to localities adjacent to their own place of business. The law applies only to an express bus iness conducted upon regular routes and designated times, from one point in the county to another. A stamped receipt Is not required for empty pack ages returned to the original consignor. The special tax of $10 must be paid for the entertainment given in Texas to test thespeed of grevhounds and known as "rabbit races." The special tax of $100 paid by pro prietors of theatres covers all exhibi tions given in theatres. Attorney General Griggs hold that the term "goods" in the provision re ferring to express company receipts in cludes money. Writs and processes of State courts and copies of them are exempt from taxation. Auction sales of tobacco in ware houses or at "tobacco breaks" are sub ject to tax the same as upon sales of any products or merchandise at any ex chance or board of trade. A small wagon show having no cir cus feats," but only "such acts as tra- pee, walking, trained ponies, singing and dancing," Is not to be regarded as a circur. It Is a show, for which the special tax of $10 must be paid. A variety show given in a saloon without cost, but the patrons of which are expected to buy drinks, is subject to the same tax. A special tax is not required to be paid for mere lectures, readings or dec lamations by lecturers or elocutionists who exhibit no pictures or shows of any kind. There is no provision of law for the redemption of documentary stamps. Money paid for stamps used in error or in excess may be refunded. ARMFIELD BRIGADIER GENERAL. (Special to the Charlotte News.)

A SCOLD. The Mavor Instruct Pattie Smith to Move Her Abode. The Pilgrim Fathers made an exam ple of common scolds and Mayor Russ is very puritanical in this respect. This morning he had before him Pattie Smith, a colored woman, who, it ap peared had made life burdensome for her neighbors by the incessant use of the unruly member. In the eyes of the Mayor, and justly too, this was a se rious offence. The neighbors of Mrs. Smith testified to the depreciation of property on account of this woman's presence and declared that her tongue made life a burden. Mayor Russ decided that things ought not so to be, and he ordered Pattie Smith and family to remove from the neighborhood of Matthew's Alley before Saturday night next. RETURNS. Mr. and Mrs. S. M.
