PROF WILLIAMSON RESIGNS AS GRADED SCHOOL HEAD. I - Tendered Resignation Several Days Ago to Accept Sunday School Work In Florida Successor Not Yet Elected. , Prof. Ft M. Williamson who has had charge of the graded school here for the past two years tendered his resignation to the school board sev ' f eral days ago, askng that he be re lieved of the work here in order that he might accept the Sunday school field secretaryship of the Florida con ference of the Southern Methodist church. The resignation has been ac cepted but it is understood that Prof. Williamson will remain in Wades boro until school opens and that he will assist the local board in securing his successor, and in supplying vacan t f cies in the teaching force of the ." school, there being several vacancies at this time. Prof.. Williamson has served as superintendent- of the local school for the past two years, and had recently been re-elected to carry on the work during the coming school term. His determination to enter another fit Id " of labor is a source of regret to the people of Wadesboro, he and his fam- ily having made many friends here, . ' but all will join in wishing him the greatest success in his new venture. Prof. Williamsom came to Wades boro from Pittsboro where he had been in charge of the county schools of Chatham county. During his stay in this community he has proven him self an indefatigable worker in his school work and a citizen 9 interested in every movement hav ing for. ist aim the upbuilding of the moral, religious and so cial conditions of its people. It was largely through his efforts and his untiring work that the bond issue : ' recently voted, passed, assuring the community of a new modem school building in the near future. He has served as superintendent of 1 the local Methodist Sunday school during the past year, and it was partly due to the success attained here together with previous work along this line which attracted the at tention of the Sunday school author- ; ' . ities, resulting in the call which has - come to him to enter an enlarged field of work, and in which he has so clearly demonstrated his fitness. Prof. Williamson's successor has not yet been elected, however it is un . derstood that several men are consid frinef applying for the position. ,. FUNERAL OF MRS. MARSHALL WAS LARGELY ATTENDED.

FEDERAL TAX REVISIONS. Some Suggestions by Secretary Mel Jon to the House Ways and Means Committee. Washington, Aug. 1. A tax of two cents on bank checks, a flat li cense tax of $10 on all automobiles, irrespective of cost or horsepower, an increase of first class postage rates to three cents and an added levy on cigars, tobacco and cigarettes are un derstood to have been tax revision suggestions presented today by Sec retary Mellon to the house ways and means committee meeting in execu tive session. Other suggestions were said to have included: A reduction of 50 per cent in trans portaion taxes, both passenger and freight, next year and their elimina tion the year following. Increase of the normal income tax on corporations from the present 10 per cent to 15 per cent. Repeal of the excess profits tax and elimination of the $2,000 exemption on corporations incomes. The repeal of taxes on soda foun tain drinks and ice cream. Elimination of the income surtax brackets above forty per cent with the surtax rates on incomes ranging from $6,000 to $50,000 increased. The revenue bill as revised in ac cord with these suggestions would be. designed to raise approximately four billions of dollars next year, it was said. ' Mr. Mellon's memorandum embody ing his views was withheld, but Chairman Fordney promised to make it public tomorrow. Representaive Garner, of Texas, ranking democratic member of the committee, attacked the treasury sec retary's proposals, declaring that everv one of them constituted a "shifting of the tax burden from the classes to the masses." Mr. Mellon was said to have esti mated government expenditures for next year at $4,675,000,000, but Chair man Fordney said this was depend ent upon how much of the $500,000, 000 due the railroads would have to be advanced out of . the .federal treas ury, the cost of operating the govern ment merchant fleet and the size of expenditures for the army and navy.

Durham, of Gastonia, Mr. Linney lives in Boon and has been prominent in politics for many years.

Governor Len Small, of Illinois, shortly after five o'clock today submitted to arrest on charges of embezzlement while State treasurer and accompanied Sheriff Mester to the courthouse to give bond. The arrest was mado at the executive mansion. The Governor was placed in tho sheriff's automobile and rushed to the courthouse, where bonds of fifty thou sand dollars were arranged. Bondsmen for the Governor are Roy and Harry Idex and C. H. Jen kins, director of tho State Depart ment of Public Welfare. Governor Small protested agains; his arrest. When his bond was giv en, a paragraph was added by the Governor's attorneys. It read. "The above bon'l is given by Len Small, governor of the State of Illi nois, under protest that he is not subject to arrest during his continu anfe as erovernor of said state." Sheriff Mester went to the execu tive mansion shortly after 5 o'clock in accordance with a "gentleman'3 agreement" made thisrfternoon. The sheriff was accompanied by one of his deputies, Ora Lemon. In a few min utes the sheriff and his deputy emerg ed from the mansion and descended the steps. The Governor was behind them. Several friends of the execu tive followed. A great crowd had f"th""d at the court house, where the Governor was immediately es corted into the sheriff's private office. Here the protest against arrest was made. After the Governor's bond was ar ranged, the crowd followed him out side the courthouse and watched him return to the mansion in an automo bile driven by Judge C. H. Jenkins. JIM GILMORE STEALS COW. Cow Belonged to Mr. H. W. Little pnd Was Taken from Pasture on His Farm Near Dolkton. About four o'clock Monday morn intr Jim Gilmore who lives near Liles ville appeared at the home of Champ Marshall colored who lives near town leading a cow. which he wanted to sell and secured the services of Marshall in butchering the cow. Gilmore and Marshall then brought the beef tc Wadesboro and .ipr-w; led to sell it. They first tried some of ttie" market! but they oflered it so cheap that the proprietors of the markets were afraid of it, whereupon they proceed ed to retail it in different parts of town, Gilmore turned the sale of the beef over to Marshall and told him to get what he could out of it and meet him at the station as he had to leave on a certain train. Marshall proceed ed with the sale of the beef, offering ;t at from 2 cents per pound up, which caused suspicion among prospective buyers, and the matter was finally re ported to Policeman Morton, who later heard that Gilmore was at the station and went down to arrest him. When Policeman Morton arrived at the station Gilmore made for the tall timber which he succeeded in reach ing and has not yet been caught. Monday one of the cows which had been in Mr. Little's pasture could not be found, and on examining the hide of the butchered cow it proved to be that of the one missing from the pasture on Mr. Little's farm. CONDITION OF REV. T. W. LITTLE BECOMES SERIOUS Preacher Assaulted Recently Said to Be Rapidly Declining Relatives Here With Him. Mr. A. A.

Washington, August C. Ma Last Thursday local fans were jority members of the house ways treated to one of the best exhibitions and means committee expect to get of the National pastime ever scei down to tho brass tacks of tax re;- tific baseball and clean cut sports -1 r.oV,ir. .. , ,.1 w Koof tho fast aggregation of semi pro ball tossers from Lumberton to the tune of 2 and 0, It was the initial appearance on the local field of Boggs and Alexander, the shortstop and third baseman, and as a debut this pair could not have chosen a more auspicious occasion, a more appreciative audience or dealt a more fatal blow to any misgivings that any fan could have entertained as regards their ability with the stick and horsehide. The first act of kindness on the part of the honorable" Mr. Boggs was to land one of Hines' offerings over the center field fence. That was suffi cient to win him a home in the hearts of every Ansonian present but he went further and scampered around short in such a manner that none of us win iorget. Alexander, not so good with the pole, is a fast third baseman and pulled some things around third that will be remember ed for some time to come. Prior to the game it was rumored among the insiders that Ashcraft was making his final public appearance because, it was whispered, perhaps he had discovered another game he liked better, one that is played "of an evening" and. isn't so violent. But the Rummey Hound denied this when interviewed after the game. How ever, had it been true, he reversed the order of things as they have been ordered and went out like a lion, mak ing the two most spectacular catches in center garden, in the ninth inning, that we have ever seen on any ground. R H E Wadesboro 110 000 00 2 4 4 Lumberton 000 000 000 0 6 3 Batteries Wadesboro, Robinson & Lowe. Lumberton, Hines & McMil lan. On Monday the Primroses gathered up their armor and sallied forth to trim the Lumberton outfit , i n their own home town. Fortu nately or unfortunately as the case may be, it showered, rain- ed or poured . to hard lor the Wojiater. tbt, tion"was stagea lor luesday. A seven inning affair was pulled first in which both Huntley and Rogers worked for Prim but Hines, the clever emery dust hurler of the Lumberton club, it was said by good authority, had too much valve grinding compound in his pock et or maybe it was pop bottle crowns, at any rate the Roses couldn't touch him when he needed to be touched and we lost that game 6 to 1. It was agreed in the beginning that the night cap would be called at 5:20 and so it was at the end of the fifth with the score 2 to 0 against us. Rob inson the latest addition to Prim's hurlers, worked on the hill and pitch ed good ball so far as he went. In both these games there was only twelve hits each club getting 3 each per game. Yesterday, the Primroses having failed to recover from their slump, we dropped an interesting contest and incidentally our first one to the Ham let club. This game was played on the local ground to a large crowd of spectators and was as uncertain as baseball can be from the very begin ning although we never caught up with the lead the visitors took in the first frame. Time after time we had wonderful chances to score but some body would fail at the bat. Pruette regained his lost paradise with the pole in this game and set the grand stand to cheering wildly when he chalked up two safeties and a two base hit out of four chances at the bat. That is the fastest man we have seen, on his feet, outside of profes sional circles. With two men down in the first lap Hamlet put three men . across the home plate with two hits and an error. Again in the sixth with two men out they scored twice with two hits and an error and in the 8th, three hits and an error netted them two more runs. Huntley on the mound for the locals did not allow as many hits as did Lowder for Hamlet but they were bunched and coupled with errors. , In our part of the third Huntley hit safe through Kelly on short and Boggs advanced him to 3rd by hitting I through Sides at second. Boggs was ' out when he attempted to go to sec ond. Robinson walked. MacPherson hit to Kelly, who booted the ball and Ashcraft who was running for Hunt ley scored. Prim popped out and I Ashcraft grounded out to pitcher, i Our next scoring was in the sixth when with MacPherson out Prim hit safe to right and stole second. Ash craft walked and Alexander fanned, j Pruette came up with Prim on third ' and Ashcraft on 2nd, and hit for two , bases scoring both Prim and Ashcraft, Lowe then erounded out to Sides on I second. Though we had every oppor tunity to score in the ninth the Roses marked up their last one in the 8th. In this inning Benton batted for Prim and grounded out to 2nd. "Ashcraft hit. safe and Ingram who was batting for Alexander fanned but made first when Catcher McMillan let the third strike go by him. Pruette came up with Ashcraft on second and Ingram on 1st and hit safe over third base. Lowe fanned. Huntley came up with COMMITTEE DOWN TO BRASS , TACKS ON TAX REVISION. Chairman Fordnev said today the ' roiiritinn. r.t i, ....i-ic.ina ,n ,.. 1SM8 law probably would begin Mon-' day and ! that unless an unexpected 1 snag was enconutered the new bill would be ready within ten days. Leaders generally say house consid eration will require only a few days. With the revision of the adminis tration features out of the way, the work now before tHe republican com mitteemen is to determine the extent of the cuts possible and just where they are to be made. The general belief seems to be the committee will propose repeal of the excess profits tax but whether the effective date will be last January 1, or next Janu ary, 1, apparently remains to be de termined. As a substitute for the excess prof its tax it is planned to increase the I corporation income tax from the pres ent 10 per cent to 15 per cent ana also to repeal the $2,000 exemption allowed corporations under the ex isting law. Chairman Fordney said to day, however, it might be necessary to make some specific provisions if. the bill to relieve the burden it has been claimed this would impose on the small corporations with limited incomes. Reach Corporations. The chairman also disclosed a pro posal to write into the new bill a provision taxing the income of the so called personal service corporations, such as architectual firms not incor porated under law, the same as the income of other corporations. The Supreme court has held that the pres ent law is not applicable to such con cerns. V Mr. Fordney also said it was not proposed to relieve gublic service cor porations from a part of the 15 per cent income(tax provision of the bill. The chairman indicated that he was not particularly impressed with the agreement that this would hit many such corporations very hard, saying that electric light, street railway, gas and such companies having a small net income would pay. a proportion ately small revenue to the government.

The Half Billion Cut. It was Estimated today by some immediate, repeil of the whole trans portation tax, the soda water tax and fe hieher surtaxes together with the $55,000,000 which the treasury ex perts figure will be lost this fiscal year through repeal of the excess profit tax as of last January 1 would approximate the half billion dollar cut which republican leaders in the house insist can be made in the tax levy. , With such a reduction the taxes to be paid this fiscal year would ap-p-oximate $3,070,000,000 on the basis of treasury estimates presented to the committee and would include $235,000 000 estimated back taxes. In addition to this income the treasury figures customs receipts under the proposed new tariff law at $370,000, 000 and income from miscellaneous sources at about $350,000,000, mak ing a total income of $3,790,000,000 as against an outgo estimated in the treasury statement at $4,554,000,000 Supporters of the tax cut declare. however, that the apparent deficit of ; 764,000,000 would be greatly de creased through additional collections on back taxes, estimated at probably $100,000,000, a larger income from miscellaneous sources and decreases in expenditures, including those ou account of the public debt and the various federal departments. CONDITION OF COTTON CROP IN SOUTH GENERALLY POOR. Washington, Aug. 10. With fa vorable weather .during the. past week, Southern crops, including corn, tobacco, potatoes, rice, sugar cane, citrus fruits and peanuts made good showings, descriptive reports rang ing from "fair" to "ideol," according to the National Weather and Crop Bulletin issued today by the Weather Bureau. While the crop was reported good in a few sections, cotton generally made a poor showing, such terms as "rank" and "deteriorating" appear ing from "fair" to "Ideal," according bureau. Abnormal temperatures with "moderate to rather heavy showers" had bad effect on the crop, it was stated. the bases full and two men down. At this juncture Catcher McMillan no niced Ingram too far off second and threw to - catch him. Ingram was caught in chase and Ashcraft who was on third started for home. Ash- craft was then caught in the chase and though the enti Hamlet infield and perhaps some of the outer gard- eers were behind him and in front of him he scored.

Dir ty and Dmgitflting The Jury Now . Haft ihe Cane. Taking evidence in the case of State against I-e Hallman, of Marshville for criminal assault on Miss Louise iolbert .or Cabarrus county, menced m Superior court at M com- onroe , i wf cunc.uu- C"T "s The lawyers concluded their argu ments Wednesday night, after which the judge charged the jury, giving them the case at 11:20 o'clock, and at 2:00 o'clock today they had not reach ed an agreement in the case. Consensus of opinion among those who have listened to the evidence and the argument is that Hallman will be convicted of the charge, but that in view of extenuating circumstances and provocations shown to have ex isted a first degree sentence will not be imposed. This would mean that the death penalty would not be in flicted upon Hallman. Below we give the testimony of both the defendant and prosecutrix as published in the Monroe Enquirer. This is the principle testimony and was largely cortborated by witnesses on both sides. Both the prosecutrix and the defendant proved good char acters. Miss Louise Tolbert, the prosecu trix," was the first witness on the stand. Miss Tolbert's testimony was sub stantially the same she gave at the preliminary hearing in recorders court July 25th and is summed up ta follows: On Saturday before the alleged crime was committed she went from her home near Concord to visit at the home of Mr. J. W. Haney whose step son married her sister, intending to remain until Thursday of the next week, but before that day arrived de cided to visit Mrs. Zeb Perry, who lives near Wingate, tor a tew days and on Thursday accompanied bji Miss Kllna Turll.u-L 1m fr Ilannv for Marshville intending to take the train for Wingate. While she an. Miss Tadlock were at the station and after they had bought their tickets Lee Hallman came up and asked he. and Miss Tadlock to stay in Marsh ville until after a bull game that tf ternoon and stated that if they would do so he would take them to Mr. Per ry's in his car. His invitation was accepted. the two young ladies to Mr. Pe ry's JlT-riVinC Uhmir Clin ilnun ri o litrt.. before, and as Mr.' Hallman had to return to A return to Marshville immediately he asked the prosecutrix if he could call that night and she assented and he called that evening. Having promised her mother ot call her by phone if she decided to pro long her visit over Thursday she tried to phone her mother from Mr. Perry's but could not, on account of a line being out of order, get in communica tion with her mother and sometime after Hallman came she asked him to take her in his car to Monroe in order that she might phone her mother. To that pioposition Hallman readily as sented. She asked Miss Tadlock to go with her and Hallman but she was suffering with a sick headacre and could not go. Mrs. Perry told her it would be-all right for her to go alone with Hallman, as Miss Tadlock could not go with them. The start for Monroe was made, conversation about base ball games and vacations being kept up until a point two or three miles beyond Win gate was reached. When Hallman stopped the car after he had steered to the side of the road and began making improper proposals to her. Thesp rHp rt-iHnv n anA cVI told him that if he was a trentleman and had a spark of manhood in him he would take her back to Mr. Per ry's. Hallnvan had gotten out of the car and stepped back in it when she refused to grant his request and, without saying anything more, tuintM the car around and started back to ward for. Perry's. At Wingato he stopped the car long enough to put water in the radiator. He then got in the car and started toward jii. Perry's and when at a point not a distance hum ttlr.'rerry's home Hallman, pointing in the direction of that home said, "You know whac I asked you back yonder. Well, if you don't submit you won't see Zeb Perry's tonight," and to that asser tion she said "Before God I'll die first." Then Hallman grabbed her by the arms and she struggled to free herself from his grasp and during the struggle she fell back over the front seat and into the rear seat. Hall man followed hd she kicked him through the rear door, which was open and she screamed. Hallman got back into the car, caught her by the shoulders, she struggling all the time, and dragged her into a field by the road side, hit hjer on the back of the neck, and she screamed and he threatened to kill her with the pump which was in the car if she screamed ae-ain.
