EMERGENCY TAX EXTENDED
Houm Settled the Matter Yesterday
w/r With Joint Resolution.
The house last night, by a vote of
205 to 189 passed the joint resolution
extending the emergency revenue tax
^ until December 31, 1916. The senate
is expected to take like action in a
^ day or two.
The law is expected by administra
tlon leaders 10 Dring revenue imo ine
treasury at the rate of $82,000,000 a
year.
The Republicans, voting solidly
against the resolution, were joined by
five Progressives and five Democrats
?Callaway, Texas; Hilliard and Keating,
Colorado; Buchanan, Illinois, and
Wingo, Arkansas. Several proposed
amendments to shorten the period of
extension were voted down.
Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina, in his first speech as majority
leader, told the house that unless
the law was extended the treasury
L would face a deficit of more than $81,
000,000 at the end of the next fiscal
year.
"We Democrats know that no tax
popular in time of peace," he said,
' ?1)01 we would be unworthy of the
record of the Democrats under the
administration and this congress if we
did not have the courage and patriotism
to arrange sufficient revenues to
meet the government's absolute necessities."
Mr. Kitchin strongly defended the
present tariff law, declaring it was in
no respect responsible for the necessity
of continuing the emergency revenue
law.
"From the time the Underwood
bill went into effect until the opening
of the European war," he said, "we
raised $20,000,000 more than was
iaised in the same interval under the
Payne-Aldrich act.
"There is not a thoughtful man,
there is not a student of revenue matm
ters who will be honest with himself
p and make an investigation, who will
i not come to the conclusion that if the
Payne-Aldrich act had been on the
^ statute books, we would have had to
raise many millions of dollars more
) than we have got to raise now and
_ that we would have had many million
gL dollars more of deficit than we have
now."
w Mr. Kitchin gave many figures in
^ support of his argument.
W Minority Leader Mann urged that
extention for a shorter period was
preferable and former Speaker Cannon
suggested an issue of Panama canal
bonds to meet the deficit
It is expected that a general programme
of revenue legislation which
may involve revision of the emergency
tax law, will be worked out by
Democratic leaders soon after the
holiday recess, which probably will
begin Saturday.
The senate finance committee on
yesterday authorized Chairman Simmons
to report the house resolution
extending the emergency war tax.
Republican members of the committee
sought to have it extended only until
June 30, 1916, but were outvoted.
They will try to amend it in the senate.

Clover, December 15.?Work on the
construction of Clover's new (200,000
cotton mill will begin early in January
it has been learned here. While details
are not available, it is likely that
a large number of carpenters will be
given employment in connection with
the building of the new mill, which
it is heliavfvi will be a err eat addition
to the future growth and progress of
the town.
Clover merchants have on hand
large stocks of holiday goods and
most of them are disposing of their
Christmas offerings quite readily. Up
to this time, some of the merchants
say, their business is 100 per cent
better than up to the corresponding
date last year.
Alpine Lodge, No. 208, A. F. M., it
is understood, will hold its annual
meeting Friday night, at which time
officers who will serve next year will
be elected. A banquet will be held in
connection with the meeting.
The Clover High school has a
basketball team and is anxious to secure
games with other high school
teams. The following boys compose
A the team: Martin Jackson, Frank
McElwee, Mack Knox, Ike Forbes, Kelly
Henry, Joe Bamett.
Attorney General Peeples' ruling to
the contrary notwithstanding, Judge
Rice's version of the law in saying
\ that the South Carolina liquor law
^ t was made for South Carolinians and
P North Carolinians can't have a look in
still holds good. Several Gaston county
folks have come to Clover after
their liquor since reading the attorney
general's view of the matter, but
after looking over the situation, they
decided they didn't want their liquor
badly enough to be placed under a
onn K/\nH ond thon nav thft fepji nf a
fAVV I/VIIU HUtU V**VU - ??
lawyer to bring the matter to the attention
of the supreme court, to which
tribunal it would have to be referred
for final settlement. It is said that
one North Carolinian came to Clover
the other day and got his package of
liquor out of the express office but the
officers hearing of his action got after
him so hard that he was glad to drop
^ his package and hike back from
whence he came. Magistrate Quinn
said today that he was watching the
f situation closely and intended to follow
the instructions of Judge Rice in
the matter. There are some 25 or 30
packages of liquor in the express office
here which will be sent back to
the liquor houses from whence it
came.
There was a large audience at the
?. opera house last evening to hear the
'v addresses of Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Morrow
and Dr. Jno. G. Woolly, representatives
of the National Anti-Saloon league.
The Clover High school will suspend

Mr. R. L. Whisonant has bought

a visitor in Gastonia today.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Page, M. T. Williams

' Clover young people who are students
at the various schools and colleges
in this and other states, are ex%
pected to return to their homes here
this week and next to spend the
Christmas holidays.
A large number of members of the
Clover council, Jr. O. U. A. M., will go

of the Bible and flag presentation
exercises which will be held
at the Bowling Green school under
the auspices of the Clover council.
SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS
^ ? The supreme court last night
m handed down a decision in which it
^ upheld the act creating the state tax
commission. The opinion was written
by Associate Justice Frazier and concurred
in by Chief Justice Gary and
Associate Justice Hydrick. Associate
Justice Gage dissented. The opinion
overrules Associate Jus e Watts,
f who originally granted the relief asked
for by the banks. The case being
carried on appeal to the supreme
^ court by Assistant Attorney General
Dominick.
? Greenville News, Tuesday: Sher/
iff Rector ejected three families of
* strikers from the Judson mill houses
Tuesday, after receiving a telegram
from Governor Manning advising that
Aft "jy if the orders for ejection were in ac*
cordance with the law, there was no
course open except to comply with
that law. No disorder attended the
eviction of the three families. The
heads of five other families have signed
papers agreeing to move voluntarily
within a few days. The sherifT
yet holds a writ of ejection against
one striker, which writ will probably
be served at once. Nine writs were
given to the sheriff on last Friday.
Orders for ejectment will be issued
against the remaining strikers as soon
as expedient. The sheriff stated last
night that the task of putting the
families out of their houses was the
most disagreeable he has met with
since holding office; not because of
resistance, but because of the fact
it was necessary for him to put the
people and their belongings into the
streets. The sheriff had with him his
chief deputy, H. D. Capel, Deputy
George King and Special Deputy Jake
Gosnell. W. D. Pitts was the first
man ejected. The other two men
against whom the writs were enforced
were J. W. Thomas and a Mr. Murphy.
Sheriff Rector stated that he
gave ten dollars to each of the seven
families yesterday, W. D. Pitts declining
to accept the money. He offered
to take one woman to his house
to stay until she could secure a new
home, but she declined. The strikers
decline to accept the money for transportation
and moving expenses offered
them as a loan by President B. E.
Greer. They also decline his good offices
in efforts to secure work for
them, although Mr. Greer had given
to the sheriff a list of positions which
the ejected families could secure.
? Monroe, N. C., December 15: The
story has just leaked out on four
Monroe sportsmen, G. M. Re&sley, a
Monroe newspaper man, and T. T.
Caphart, Jeff Sewell and T. P. Sale,
Seaboard conductors between this
place and Atlanta, about getting
"nabbed" by the game warden in
South Carolina several days ago. The
bunch came back with about 100
birds in all, estimated to have already
cost them about $2 each, with the
probability of more cost to be added
on later. It happened this way: Jim
Johnson, a prominent farmer, merchant,
lumberman and sportsman of
Chappels, S. C., invited the above
named gentlemen to come down to his
place for a week's hunt. Of course
they accepted, and, thinking that as
they were guests of a land owner they
were immune from the special nonresident
tax of $15, all four of the
Monroe gentlemen neglected to secure
the same. They had spent about three
blissful days in the pursuit of quail,
when suddenly one afternoon, who
slipped upon them but the chief game
warden of the state of South Carolina.
It was no local rural policeman or
county warden, but the head knocker
of the department. He immediately
demanded $15 from each of the aforesaid
sports. But this didn't satisfy
him, for after the hunters had began
consoling themselves that the fine was
better than the jail, the warden turned
around once more, to the sorrow
of the victims, and demanded a $500
bond from each to insure their appearance
at the next term of court, to be
held some time later in the county in
which they were caught. As a minimum
penalty for the above violation
of the South Carolina laws is a $100
fine, one can bet his bottom dollar
that these Monroe sportsmen saw
' red.'* It was evident that the hunters
found hunting in South Carolina
a nervous affair with such overhead
expense hanging over their heads, for
they all returned several days sooner
than expected with the excuse that
"birds were scarce." They tried to
keep their little secret but it was too
much. '

Every man w^io saw this shipment

say that this particular car of Mules
was as fine a bunch of Mules as ever
came to this market,, and the best evidence
that this verdict is correct is the
number of Sales and Exchanges that

We still have several Choice Mules
