Daria, Social Security Act Explained Employers of eight or more who have failed tp make returns in accordance with the provisions of Title IX of the Social Security Act, which impoaea an exciae tax on employera, commonly known aa the unemployment compenaation tax, were today warned by Collector of Internal Revenue, R. M. Cooper that they faced delinquent penalties ranging from 5 per cent to 25 per cent of the tax their pay rolls call for. The returns are to be made on Internal Revenue form 5140 and werts due on April 1, last. Collector Cooper referred to Article 502 of Regulations 90, which provide that "failure to file a return when due cauaeB to accrue, under the provisions of section 406 of the Revenue Act of 1935, a penalty of from 5 per cent to 25 pqr cent of the amount of Jhe tax, depending upon the period of delinquency." Employers were grante&an exten?lon of time for the filing of returns and paying of the tax until April 1 by Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Guy T. Helvering. The Social Security Act, Mr, Cooper explained, calls for a pay roll tax of one per cent on the 1936 pay roll containing eight or more persons on each of some twenty days during the taxable year, each day being in a different calendar week. Each employer is entitled to a credit of nhfhty per cent of his federal tax, provided he has contributed at least this amount to unemployment compensation funds established by the states In conjunction with the Federal Social Security Law in which he has employees, such contribution, however, must have been paid on or before April 1, 1937. Collector Cooper said that recognition of the following facts by all employers would remove a great deal of the confusion that apparently exists as to the provisions of Title IX of the Social Security Act. The employer's excise tax, provided for under Title IX of the Social Security Act is separate and apart from the employer's excise tax and the employee's income tax provided for under Title VIII of the same act. Participation in one does not exempt an employer from participation in the other. Officers of corporations are considered employees for taxable purposes. Nonfederal Credit is allowed an employer for a state contribution unless the said state contribution is paid prior to the due date of the federal return, April 1, 1937. Employers alone pay the tax levied under Title IX. SIGN DIRECT8 TRAVEL OVER HIGHWAY NUMBER 521 A handsome new road sign directing traffic over Highway 521 has been erected on the other side of Pineville by the Lancaster Lions Club with cooperation of Lancaster people and some In the towns further south. This sign is located about a mile north of Fort Mill and on the sign is a map showing the best route from Charlotte to Columbia. On the map are shown the location of Pineville, Lancaster, Kershaw, Camden and Columbia. This sign has been erected on the east side of the highway and close to the sign which Rock Hill erected tome time ago. This sign was put up to direct traffic this way as it has been conclusively proten that autoists can make better time via Lancaster, Kershaw and Camden in going from Charlotte to Columbia. Autoists who have gone over the route both via Rock Hill and via Lancaster say that they can save twenty minutes by going via Lancaster as the route is more direct with no congested traffic to face. The distance via Rock Hill and via Lancaster is about the same.?Lancaster News. Camden Lady's Mother Dead Manning, .June 4.?Mrs. J.

Installation of brilliunt flood lamps In the show room will add greatly to the appearance of the front of the building. The show room has been completely rearranged and 1b modernistic in design. The General Motors idea of the "parts" department is carried out in brilliant colorings and the effect is striking.

Ecso White Sox Loses ' It took a combination of the Kershaw Guards and the Hermitage Mill teams to wallop the Esso White 8ox in a Twilight league game Wednes-1 day evening, the Bcore being 12 to 8. It waB the playoff of a Hix inning game that was staged by these two teams two weeks ago and which was also won by the Guards. I The game was a close and interesting battle for several innings and the rdsult was a tossup, both teams play-1 ing a nice brand of ball. After Man-! ager Sanders of the Guards, injected a group of Hermitage Mill players who had just completed the rout of the American Legion Junior team, into the fray, the Guards went on to win by staging a seven run rally In the sixth inning. The hits were about even, the Guards getting ten and the Sox 9, but the Sox defense blew up at critical periods and when the Guards combined hits with errors of the opposition, they started a scoring spree.
