It is suggested that wll persons whoj' failed to include the profit realized from real estate sales call at the Collector's olliee, or file amended returns, as it is the policy of the revenue department not to assert heavy penalties when the disclosures are voluntarily made by taxpayers. It is believed that the failure of many taxpayers to include real estate profits in their returns was due to an erroneous interpretation of the income tax laws, and to iiiisl ading publicity that was given out prior to the ruling of the United States Su preme Court, holding that such trains were taxable income under the revenue laws. In cases where the taxpayer does not voluntarily disclose items of income that were omitted, and where the gains from real estate sales have not been re ported, it will be necessary to as sert full penalties on all returns where the investigation disclosed the failure of the taxpayer to include real estate gains in his income tax returns. It will be greatly ti each ax-payer' sadvantage to find if profits from real estate sales were omitted and make correct "am-mnded returns" before the re cords in each county are searched this will save the taxpayer heavy penalties and in many cases court procedure. Parent-Teachers Meet The parents and teachers of South Rosemary school had their first business meeting on the first Friday night in October and made plans for a get-together meeting of the entire com munity, which was held last Thursdav night.

William McKinley Brown, charged with delaying and obstructing an officer in the discharge of his duties, was committed to jail in default of a one hundred dollar bond.

William had allowed his chivalry to get the better of his judgment in the case of Margaretta Brown, charged with an affray and in pro- cess of being apprehended by the watch. The case against Margaretta was dismissed on payment of costs, William getting the heavy end of the deal.

Smith, the secretary, called the meeting to order and requested Mr. J. H. Alexander, to preside. A report was received from the agricultural committee appoint- ed at the last meeting, Mr.

C. Littlejohn, County Agent, speaking for that committee. He said that it was the sense of that committee that for the present it would only recommend the planting of as large an acreage as possible in small grain and hay crops to provide forage for next year, and that at a meeting in January a definite general program for the coming year be formulated and adopted. That committee urged that the county be put in such a position that not a ton of outside hay would be shipped in. That committee also wished it understood and emphasized that there was no intention on the part of any interest to absolutely restrict credit where it was deserved and where the person applying or desiring-showed a disposition to help himself or themselves, and follow out the recommendations as to program and methods which will be outlined.

It was urged, however, that strict economy be observed in the purchase of luxuries and that resources be conserved as Jar as possible to tide over during the coming year when the supply of money will be more or less restricted until conditions adjust themselves. Farmers and Bankers are urged to "make haste slowly" in adopting radical changes in farming methods and in applying for and granting credit to those who wanted to branch out too rapidly in the growing of poultry, hogs, sheep, or in dairy ing, for it is realized that unless the individual is peculiarly fitted to handle any one of them it would be far better to go slowly and feel their way, for it was realized that failures would throw a damper on others, while success would encourage them A committee composed of Messrs. R. S. Travis, G.

Little. john was appointed to draw up a letter setting forth the conclu sions of the meeting, have it printed and each bank in the county supplied with as many copies as they could distribute Mr. Littlejohn was instructed to write Mr. Winters, of the Pee Dee Experiment Station, of South Carolina, and invite him to address a meeting of farmers. business men and bankers some time during January on boll wee- vil control.
