Correspondent. Columbia. May 10.—Income taxes paid in South Carplipa this year will probably far exceed twenty million dollars, paid^by more thpii twenty- five thousand persons. Th8 : office of the internal revenue collector states that the number of incomes will ex ceed the number for the last year, and for last year the number totaled 25,024. the total tax paid being $18,- 660,000. Income returns were made for the present year, ending .June 30. before March 15, anti these returns are now being checked by the government. There will be a large increase in the total number of returns, when the count is completed. 1 When income returns are made to the collector they are sent to Wash ington. After benig checked there they are returned to the agent in charge of the income tax department, and his field agents check every re turn by the books of the person or corporation making the returns. This department, headed by H. C. Parrott, of Columbia, is now working on re turns for the last three years, not counting the. returns made the first part of this year. In checking income returns the gov ernment finds may errors, where cor porations or individuals have not paid the full amount of tax due, and in some cases where they have paid too much. Mr. Parrott states that his agents have just sent in one report on an income tax return, showing that the amount of tax paid was $200,000 short of what .it should have been. Another payer was found to have paid $63,000 too much. These discrepan cies are due to the difficulty of mak ing the correct return. In one case only have the income tax agents found a fax payer wl\p did not want to give them access to his books for the check of his return. This was a man who was also being investigated by secret service agents on a charge of profiteering. The income tax department i” South Carolina employes nine field agents at present for checking re turns. This force is to he increased by twenty-five men at an early date, but even then it will be years before all of tlie returns already made have been checked. Do Kindly Act Gracefully. Manners are the ornament of ac tion; and there Is a way of speaking a kind word, or of doing a kind thing, which greatly enhances their value. What seems to he done with it grudge, or as an act of condescension, is scarcely accepted ns a favor. Yet there are men who pridt* themselves upon their grulTiioss; und though they may possess virtue and capacity, their manner is often such as to render them almost Insupportable.—Samuel Smiles.

It has proved a great help in securing intelligent and sympathetic co-opera tion. They e\en have mothers’ classes In regular scouting, through which the mothers not only discover the real genius of scouting, hut the mnuy ways in which it is a help In the home life, and' the great Importance of close co operation. The fathers and mothers of the remits meet jointly in many cases. The Central Town Scout Mothers are made up of appointees from each of the troop mothers and others who may desire to be connected. The troop mothers meet monthly. The town mothers meet quarterly. They also help on camp kitchen equipment, out- fltling the camp hospital and other mother work. Tlie father and son work Is one of their specialties, and it Is chiefly fos tered through the camp spirit. They often have as many as twenty fathers wlffl the scouts for week-ends dr for vacation camping. FRENCH SCOUTS* GREETINGS. The noble work of the French hoy scouts*!* strongly cementing the feel ing between the khaki-clad lads of both countries. A further Instance of the growing fondness which the hoys of the ndle.l countries are finding for each other Is seen Jn the following letter which has Just been received by President Colin H. Livingstone of the Boy Scouts of America: “I lake great pleasure in forwarding the following message addressed to yon by General Secretary Beighcder of the Association of the Kelaireurs Uuion- Istes Franco iso: *’ The Edafreurs Unionistes of Paris in their annual meeting attend ed by M. Tardieu, general commission er of the Franco-Amerlean affairs, and hy delegates to the new section of the Eclnirenrs Unionistes of Alsace, send to their brother scouts of Ameri- ea their heartiest greetings.’ "M.

SCOUTS FIGHT FOREST FIRFS. • Three disastrous forest fires near Reading, Pa., swept over an area of .’{00 acres of fine timberlnnd. The first was discovered on Neversink moun tain. and was extinguished by the aid of the hoy scouts, hut not before a number of trees were destroyed. The second blaze started early In the evening on the Hurtujon ira<t. Word was sent to (he bey scout ex ecutive in Reading, aad he immedia e- ly left with scouts of Troops Seven and Eleven for I he sce.ie. The hoys could not do much in the way of check ing the onrush of the flames, owing to the holes which were dug on 'fl’se tracts by prospectors for minerals. Starting along the state highway, flumes swept up the side of tlie Blue mountain. Tha Hamburg hoy scouts were early on tlie scene and rendered valuable assistance in checking the onward rush of the flames. to* AV BOY SCOUT FIRE FIGHTERS. The troop of coy scouts In Esparto, OnL, hud their first real tost of their value to the community wr.en a fire call came. Just -JO minutes after Lowell Rus sell, assistant leader for the Curlew patrol, received word, there were 22 fire fighters on their way to the hills, where (he fire had already broken into fhe underbrush and was spreading quite rap'dly on the Logwood range. The hardest fighting took place where the underbrush was quite dense.

"We can have little hope for the future if such acts reflect a condition which Is, common In any community.

SCOUTS* BUREAU OF SERVICE. The bureau of information service of the Jersey City oouncil of the Boyi b'couts of America has been set up in the Triangle building at Montgom- j cry street and Bergen avenue. The scouts will conduct what is to! prove to one of the biggest "good turns” ever done for the people ol Jersey City. A visitor to the city will only have to apply to this office and ( he will he given directions which will take him hy the quickest route to whatever point he may wish to go, and in the event of a stranger wanting a pilot to lead the way for him, there will he scouts ou duty. It also will fur nish hoys who for a nominal sum will be able to do small tasks in a hurry. In- this manner some of the scouts will be enabled to make enough money to pay for their trip to camp next year. GRU ti. Verithirv Watd- 'MM #. /obi its i orfl ;* Fit the -Gruen Guild wo:-’ .
