J *1.60 PER YEAR Italians Ignore Peace Plan; War Seems Inevitable DRIVERS’ LICENSE TO LOWER AUTO ACCIDENTS IN N.C 7 Cause* For Which Driven May Lose License to Be Rigidly Enforced Raleigh, Sept. 18.—The Statewide drivers* license law is going to be effective in reducing accidents and in bringing about better observance of the highway laws because of the ease with which it may be suspended or revoked, rather than because of the ease with which it may be ob tained, it was pointed out today by Assistant Commissioner of Revenue M. C. S. Noble, Jr., who ia. supervising the issuance of the new drivers’ licenses. Any one who can speak and read English, who has been driving a car for more than one year and who has never been convicted of a traffic violation or involved in a serious accident, may get a driver’s license free of charge. Chauffeurs and drivers of commercial motor vehicles are re quired to pay $2 for their licenses. But it is almost as easy for a driver to lose his or her driving license as it is to get it, Noble point ed out, since licenses can be suspend ed by the department of revenue, up on the recommendation of a high way patrolman, for seven specific causes. The licenses can be revoked for a year and the holders denied the (Continued on back page) |news=] j.-.{.--"BRIEFS | Tough Rabbit Fight* Snake Red Brush, Mo., Sept. 18.—Silas Overman has lived here 50 years, but not until recently did he ever sec a rabbit fight a snake.

THE LINCOLN TIMES Italy Hammers Out Huge War Chest A* Answers to the League of Nations London, Sept. 18.—A worried lea gue of nations presented its plan for 1 peace to Italy and to Ethiopia to night with advance notice from Benito Mussolini’s envoys that Italy won't take it. “Absolutely unacceptable as a basis for negotiation” that was what II Duce’s delegation to Geneva called the scheme. It would seek to fash ion medieval Ethiopia into a modern nation and would strive to satisfy league circles buzzed ominously with the prediction that Mussolini, when he reads the plan, will turn it down flatly. Elsewhere in a troubled' world the news seemed to esmpasize one word: "Prepare!” From Gibraltar, eight more of Great Britain’s swift destroyers foamed through the blue waters of the Mediterranean. As the admiralty here called off home fleet maneuvers in the North sea —, the air ministry was expected in authoritative quar , ters to be preparing an announce ment of concentration of air rein forcements in the Mediterranean. Italy Votes Loan At Rome Italy’s cabinet hammered out a great war chest, voting a loan to finance the expensive military preparations II Duce is making in east Africa and at home. The dicta tor himself, who is eight ministers all t‘.i one, pushed through measures to reorganize the tax system; also he ordered military reinforcements massed in colonial Libya, on the west ern border of Egypt. Italians have charged that armed Senussite tribesmen have gathered on the Libyan-Egyptian frontier. In Rome a government spokesman said Italy does not regard the report cf the five-power Geneva committee a? a basis for discussion, although it will be referred to the council. Down in Addis Bbaba Emperior Haile Selassie took cognizance of the time-honored military precept that 1 •■n army fights on its stomach. Other Ethiopian armies down chrough the ages have lived off the land, but Selassie worked out a sys tematic organization of food sup- j plies to feed troops and civilians. Al ready these supplies are ample for a year’s campaign. It’s easy to feed the fierce war riors of this ancient land—an Ethi opian soldier can live and fight on a handful of grain every day which he roasts on a primitive iron slab. j U. S. TO COLLECT . ! 276 MILLION IN ' OLD TAX LEVIES > £ 2,436 Agents Find That This Amount Is Still Owed In Income Taxes Washington, Sept. 18.—Collection 1 of an additional $276,008,250 in in- * come taxes was recommended to the t treasury today by agents who have • been investigating old returns. * Guy T . Helvering, commission er of internal revenue, said these ' new assessments, an addition to ' taxes .reported voluntarily by in- 1 dividuals and corporations, rep- 1 resented the results of investi- gating done by 2,436 agents during the 1935 fiscal year which ended 1 last June 30. “This amount exceeds that rec ommended for any year since 1931 and is in excess of the amount re ported for 1934 by $72,497,784,” the treasury said. It added that field agents in vestigated 13,687 claims for in come tax refunds aggregating $36,- 394,967, but recommended approval of only $4,040,941 in overassess- i ments. Examination of the claims, ] however, resulted in recommenda tions for $5,043,861 in deficiency ] assessments, for a potential gain to . the government of $1,002,920. j Published On Monday and Thursday LINCOLNTON, N. c. t THURSDAY, SEPT. 19. 1935 ~ j Where Clouds of War are Lowering in Old World Areas UOK 6 Y V.

The Lincolnton athletic field, scene of the affray, is in perfect condition with a rich carpet of .green turf covering the entire playing field, which makes the field less subject to injuries of the participants. Five hundred yards of canvas has been purchased by Coach Smith and is to be stretched around the wire fence to help discourage those who wish to see the game gratis. A rule in football this year says that all spectators must be at least five yards back o*f the boundary lines and to take care of this Smith has com pleted roped lines on each side of the playing field, five yards back of the playing lines. The game tomorrow begins at 3:45, admission being 10 and 25 cents. The local team that takes the field tomorrow will be an extremely light > one, averaging only 137 in the line with the backfield scaling a bit high er, a decided disadvantage as a strong line is needed to open big holes for its backfield. The line will | be phalanxed on both sides by five inexperienced performers. At cen ter will Co-Capt, Bill Sigmon, a letterman; at left end will be John Mauney, non-letterman and 2nd stringer last year; at left tackle will be Max Holland, also inexperienced and in his first year out; at right (Continued on back page) Walk 90 Mile* To Get Married Erwin, Tenn., Sept. 18.—Young Mr. and Mrs. Estoy Cody returned to their North Carolina mountain homo today—footsore, but happy—after a 90-mile jaunt on foot to and from the altar.
