Squires informs us just as we go to press that ifv quick ' action is taken by the business - men of Polk county it may be ? possible to obtain an industry that will ' be of great value to this county. A - practical canning man, now is Mississippi is desirohs of locating in some section of North Carolina where the pimento pepper can be grown successfully for canning pur poses. Previous to the world war the en tire supply of canned pimentoes consupied in the United States was imported from Spain and Portugal. California was the first state to en gage in canning this vegetable. There are now two plants in opera tion in Georgia and one of these factories located near Macon * can ned the products of' one . thousand acres of pimentoes last year. This plant recently exported three car loads of the canned products to South America. Mr. Squires stated that he has seen some fine pimentoes "growing on the farm of Mr. Voprheis^ near Mill Spring and it is expected that this variety of peper will be on ex hibition at the county fair this week. The party referred to is now using an improved process for c&iining sweet potatoes and would like to make pimento peppers and sweet potaoes his leaden. Jones county is bidding for this enterprise but Mr. Squires is con fident that he can swing it in this direction if the' business men of the county will cooperate, by taking stock in the industry. v " " o , STATE LEAD8 SOUTH IN R.

Polk coutty raised $1,004.56 for Near Bast Relief this year, accord ing to offlc&ls figures just announc ed from R&leigh by Col. Geo. H. Bellamy, state chairman. Thi s is nearly trip? the amount of Polk's $360.00 qucta. In announcing these figures Col. Bellamy p?id tribute to E. W. Ded mond of C)lumbus, county chairman, who was idcharge of raising this sum, and ill of those who helped Mr. Dedm>nd. Official figures were $508.56 In castf, $145.00 in unpaid pledges on June 30 laBt, and $351.00 in clothiig. Mr. Dedmond had many difficulties to overcome, the foremost of which is the miscon ception in the public mind as to the continued need in the Bible lands. As the Near East Relief, in its de finite child-saving program, works from year; to year, results of work fromJuly 1 to the following June 30 only are announced. During the fiscal year, Mr. Dedmond raised funds to feed, cloth and educate six . -a Vw.tle children now in North a orphanages in the Near and dependent on Polk county for Jh^ir lives. Sixty dollars takes eo2:;#fote care of a child for a year, bo (illcient is the work of the Near East Uelief overseas. Tho report will also show that North Carolina greatly over tub scribed its Quota. Over 1,000 volun teer workers marshalled together ax*4 directed by Morris A. Bealle, suta director, made possible the! raising of this sum, Col. Bellamy de clared. He stressed the fact that the end of this work is not yet in sight, that itstil the Allied Powers make some provision for these homeless Christian wanderers who made such sacrifices during the world war and a^ndoned to a fate worse than their former? ullTes, thajr aajm t become self-snpportiac. The spectacle of an entire nation feeing saved by another people 3,000 mile s away is without parallel in feSetory, Col. Bellamy pointed out. In |K?nclusion he declared that if 4m ?rici. does not feed them and keep tfeem alive now, they will - starve and our splendid work of the last five years will have been invain. No other nation in the world appears to be humane or Christian enough to do tftis, he stated. A COLUMBUS 8CHOOL TEAM DEFEATS TRYON 5 TO 3 .

Lynn Connor was placed unddr arrest by the federal agent charged with violation of the prohibition act and released under bond of $500 to appear at the Fall term of the United States District court Which will convene in Ashe ville the first Monday in November. Hutcherson, accompanied by of fleer Lindsey Smith, discovered the still last week about one and one half miles from Mill Spring and Fox Mountain. They later succeeded in j capturing Connor as he approached the still. Two bushels of corn meal and several stands were destroyed ! ?with the still. ! o i Income Returns Must j Include Land Sales I Investigations conducted by field deputies of the Internal Revenue Service indicate that hundreds of taxpayers have neglected, uninten tionally or otherwise, to include as income in their returns for 1919, 1920, 1921, and 1922, profits realized from the sale of real estate, accord ing to the Bureau which several weeks ago ordered a ridig probe to be made of suspected evasions of in come regulations. In order to close up the Govern ment tax net, the Collector, has ord ered that a transcript be made of all doubtful tranfers. A careful inves tigation will be made of all these files, to determine whether or not the sales involved have been report ed upon the income tax returns. It is suggested that all persons who fail ed to include the profit realized from real estate sales call at thet Collect or's office, or file amended returns, as it is the policy of the revenue de partment not to assert heavy penal ties when the disclosures of failure to include income are voluntarily made by taxpayers. It is believed that the failure of many taxpayers to include real es tate profits in their returns was due to an erroneous interpretation of the income laws, and to misleading publicity that was given out prior to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court, holding that such gains were taxable income under { the revenue laws. j In cases where the taxpayer does i not voluntarily disclose items of in- 1 come that were omitted, and where the gains from real estate sales have | not been reported, it will be neces sary to assert full penalties on all returns where the investigation dis closed the failure of the taxpayer to include real estate gains in his in come tax returns. It will be greatly to each taxpay er's advantage to find if profits from real estate sales were omitted and make correct "amended ? returns" before the records in each connty are searched; this will save the tax payers heavy penalties and in many cases court proceedure. Green's Creek Fair Is Well Attended Many Exhibits Displayed in All Departments. The Green's Creek Community J Pair attracted people from all parts of Polk County and many from across the State line in Spartanburg county. Automobiles from all sec tions of the county began arriving at an early hour Tuesday morning some from Green's Creek township bringing in last minutes exhibits to compete for the many premiums. The school building was found to be too small for the many exhibits making it necessary for some of them to be displayed on the out side. The various rooms of the school building were devoted to the several departments. Farm and garden produce were displayed on long tables in one room, another was devoted to floral display in one section, and home economics ex hibits in the remainder. Sewing clubs and indivual garment dis plays were exhibited in the third room. Live stock was given a place near the building as well as a few of the late entries of farm and garden produce. AH of the exhibits were attrac tively arranged and conveniently placed so as to allow careful examin ation. ^ Judging went on throughout the day,: prizes and ribbons being awarded for the best display in each department. Winners of the prem iums will be announced In the next weeks issue of the News. ?he flower exhibit attracted many during the day. Late summer and fall flowers were beautifully arranged and created considerable comment by many people who stopped before the tables. Many kinds of ferns, for which Polk county is famous, were displayed. Due to the fact that a large por tion of the- Home Economics dis plays bad been sent to the State Fair at Raleigh, this department was scant, but ample evidence was shown of the capabilities of the housewives of Green's Creek. One of the farm exhibits which attracted considerable attention was that of the mung bean, a display of which was shown among the farm products. This crop is a compara tive stranger in the United States and is making its appearance for the first time in this section. It Is an excellent live stock feed and is said to take but little cultivation. It bears a bean or seed about one half the size of small green peas and is of the same color as the pea. A large delegation of Tryon busl iness men arrived in the afternoon and were given a cordial recceptlon. Several automobile loads motored to the Fair by way of Columbus, many of whom returned through Landrum. Against , stiff competition Tom Moore was voted the ugliest man at the Fair. All of the exhibits at this Fair were entered at the Greater Polk County Community Fair yesterday. O. J. Zeigler, principal of the Green' Creek school made a brief and interesting talk to the assem bly in the afternoon,, thanking the people of Green's Creek township as well as those from various other communities for their cooperation in supporting the Fair this year. In explaining the necessity of the new school building now in course of construction, he urged the people to bear in min
