Jan. per capita investment of $100 in good roads is the boast of Lenoin county, of which this town is the county seat. With a population of 35,000, the county's total investment in paved highways when its present program is completed, will be approximately $3,500,000. This, it is believed, establishes a record. Every principal street in Kinston and every main road in the county will be hard-surfaced when the program is completed a few months from now.

The concrete-asphalt roads lead to the boundaries of six adjoining counties. A stretch of the Central highway which is 520 miles long and extending from the mountains of Western North Carolina to the ocean, passes through the county, and this for a distance has been converted into a memorial avenue for local war dead. The avenue begins at the Kinston municipal limit, and terminates at the grave of Richard Caswell, first governor of the state after the revolution. BASKETBALL TOMORROW. Cullison and Pratt Teams Will Meet in Liberty Gymnasium.

Tomorrow night at Liberty gymnasium here occurs the first game of the 1922 basketball season, when the Cullison bunch will be here to contest for supremacy against the squad of Coach Shupe of Pratt. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30. Interest in basketball is showing a material growth this year. Before the new high school building was erected the students at Pratt had no place to play basketball for several years, and hence the local interest in the game flagged very materially. Last year was the first for a long time that the game had received attention here, and despite this fact, the team made a very good showing.

This year the squad is showing great improvement and bids fair to rank with the very best in this section of the state. Coach Shupe announces that the game tomorrow night will open with the following line-up: H. Lockert and J. Lockert, forwards; Milton Shupe, center; Paul Jones and Paul Pipkin, guards. The sub list is as follows: Tombleson, Stump, Burnett, Cooley, and Baney.

Seating arrangements at the gym will take care of several hundred fans. and the prospects indicate that the games this season will tax the capacity of the house. FLOYD GOBIN HURT. Victim of Auto Crash at Third and Jackson Sts. Yesterday Evening.

Floyd Gobin, son of Dan Gobin, suffered a concussion late yesterday afternoon when a Ford car he was driving and a Ford truck driven by John Huttash, employed by the Scantlin Poultry Company came together at the corner of Third and Jackson streets. Both cars were badly damaged, and John was slightly cut about the face, while Walter Bales, who was with him, escaped without any injuries, No one witnessed the accident, as far as can be learned. E. C. Gould, employed at the livery barn on the corner, said that the first he knew of it was when he happened to look out the window and saw the Scantlin car go plunging onto the parking at the northwest corner of the street.

Several people heard the crash and rushed to the scene. Among them was Newt Lottridge, who called the ambulance and hustled the Gobin boy to the hospital. He was knocked unconscious, and at first he was thought to be seriourly hurt. An examination developed the concussion as the most serious injury, and today he was reported as wanting to go home. The Huttash boy was taken to a physician's office where his injuries were dressed.

In the smashup, the Gobin car received a broken steering wheel, the top smashed in and other breaks. The Scantlin car had a couple of smashed wheels and other damages. John was driving north and his car was hurled on to the parking, while the other car was turned completely around and headed east instead of west, the direction in which it was going when the accident occurred. The corner is one of the most dangerous down town and it is very often that people in cars have narrow escapes from serious accidents, it is said. COLLECTOR MOTTER CLEARS UP SOME MORE POINTS IN THE REVISION OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE LAW Wichita, Jan.

fol-1 lowing statement is issued by Collector of Internal Revenue, H. H. Motter, Wichita, district of Kansas: The Revenue Act of 1921 contains two new and important provisions, which are the subject, of frequent inquiry. The first relates to the personal exemptions allowed married persons, and the second to the provision requiring that a return be made of gross income of $5,000 or more. The act provides that a married person, living with husband or wife, whose net income for 1921 was $5,000 or less shall be allowed a personal exemption of $2,500.

If the net income of such person was over $5,000 the exemption is $2,000. Under the Revenue Act of 1918, the personal exemption allowed a married person was $2,000, regardless of the amount of net income. The normal tax rate remains unchanged, 4 per cent on the first $4,000 of net income above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. In order that an income slightly in excess of $5,000 shall not be subjected to an inordinately disproportionate tax because of the reduction of the exemption to $2,000 thereon, the law provides that such reduction shall not operate to increase the tax, which would be payable if the exemption -were by -more than the net income in excess of $5,000. For example, on a net income of $5,010, the tax, without this saving SOCIETY The Mothers', Club will meet with Mrs.

LOCKJAW VICTIM IDIES. Ted Dooling Passed Away Last Evening About 5:30 O'clock. Ted Dooling, a 17-year-old farmer boy from Reed Spring, near Monett, who was stricken with tetanus late Tuesday night, died yesterday evening about 5:30, a victim of the dread disease. He was unconscious most of the day and passed away despite the heroic efforts of Dr. C.

E. Phillips to save him. His father was advised of his death and he is expected here some time tonight. The boy had worked for the past several months for Roy McManis, a well known young farmer living northwest of town. He is said to have been very industrious and ing, and quite popular with the family.

Last week one day he stepped upon a board with a rusty nail in it. When questioned as to why the foot began to swell and he began poulticing it, he continued to treat the matter in a seemingly light manner, Mr. McManis said. Only when the dread disease got hold of him did he seem to realize his true condition. Had Mr.

McManis known the actual state of affairs he would have called in a physician sooner. When called, Dr. Phillips secured the only supply of anti-toxin for tetanus available and administered it to him. He worked' with the boy practically all Tuesday night and a large part of yesterday in an effort to save his life, but the lockjaw had secured such a hola' he was unable to make any headway. The body is being held here pending the arrival of the father or word from him.

GERMAN PLAN OF EXTRACTING FAT FROM LIVE PIGS WORKS. London, Jan. excitement has been aroused here over the news from Schleichegrieben, Germany, that Prussian farmers have devised a way of extracting fat from live pigs, so as to have the pig and eat it too. Fapers printed photographs showing pigs "before and after." When the pig had been properly fattened, it was said, it was taken to a veterinarian who administered a local anaesthetic, removed a section of fat, sewed up the porker, tied on a large bandage, and sent, it home for more fattening. Interviews with prominent English raisers of pigs, revealed that this method had not yet been tried in England and probably would not be, because of its roughness on the pig.

Considerable speculation was aroused, however, some persons thinking that the operation might be a useful operation. adjunct Bay to the windows, monkey gland pointed out, could be removed, thus completing the renovation. Beauty specialists were also asked their advice as to whether such an idea might be used to help the fashions in women's shapes, introducing real fat instead of bustles, or having the fat removed instead of prohibiting malted milks and A skeptic has, however, given these revolutionary ideas a set-back. He observed that the name of the German village mentioned means in English, "Sneaking POLICE OFFICER QUITS THE FORCE TO WRITE SCENARIO. Cleveland, Jan.

clause would be $120.40, which is 4 per cent on $3,010, the amount of net income, less an exemption of $2,000. The actual tax is $110.40, computed as follows: from the net income of $5,010 is deducted $2,500, leaving $2,510, the 4 per cent tax on which amounts to $100.40. To this is added $10, "the amount of net income excess of $5,000." The personal exemptions allowed married persons, apply also to the head of a family, a person who supports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage adoption. Heretofore, a person whose net income was less than his exemption ($1,000 if single, or $2,000 if married) was not required to file a return. Under the Revenue Act of 1921, if the gross income of an individual equalled or exceeded $5,000 or if the combined gross income of a married couple and that of dependent minor children equalled or exceeded $5,000, a return must be filed, regardless of the amount of net income.

"Net is -gross income, less certain deductions.
