POLICE IN JAIL Oficers if TowsfiDe Held Ike Charge ei Murdering a Maa. i ? CRIME WAS LAST YEAR A Young Mountaineer, Doc Welborn, Supposed to Have Been Burned Up In Town Lock-Up, Now Said to 11mvo Been Killed by 11 is laptors. H. W. Holcomb, chief of police, of Towiiville; J. E. Woolbright, a policeman; Basken Sears and Jim Baldwin, who were called in by the oilicers to assist them in arresting Doc Welborn, a young mountaineer, on the night of September 28, 1910, were lodged in the jail at Anderson Monday night, charged with the murder of Welborn. Welborn was arrested for drunkenness about nine o'clock at night and three hours later the guard house was burned. The arrest came as the result of detective work by M. C. Long, formerly Court stenographer of that circuit, but now an attorney at Walfaulla. lie has been working on the case for several weeks and it is understood that he has gathered evidence tending to show that Welborn was murdered before being placed in the guard house and that the house was burned to hide the alleged crime. The four men came to Anderson and voluntarily surrendered, when they learned that the warrants had been Issued. The warrants were issued by a local magistrate, upon the aflidavits of the foreman and members of the grand jury. When seen at the jail Monday night the four men declared that their arrest is due to prejudice, v but they refused to name the person or persons whom they think are behind the move to convict them. The four men are married and have families. Welborn's widow and children are now working ir. a cotton mill here. Chief Holraan said that in his opinion Welborn set fire to the guard house while lighting a cigarette or In attempting to burn his waj to freedom. Mr. Long was communicated with Monday night and he stated he would come to Anderson on Wednesday to represent the solicitor, when the prisoners will appear before Judge Prince for bail. The arrest of the first of the four men has caused considerable excitement in the Townville section and Monday many of the leading citizens of that own went to Anderson to go on the bonds for their release. An effort is being made to get Mr. Long to go to Anderson so that the appli canon lor UUli Ull.'l uc mauo at uuw. Mr. Long's ability in detective work was shown several months ago, when he .brought to justice Cantrell, Gaines and Angel, three white men, for the murder of Emerson, near Walhalla. At the time it was thought that HmorBon was killed by a train, but Mr. Long worked on the case until he secured suflicient evidence to bring the three men from as many States and to convict and sentence them for the murder. The trial attracted a great deal of attention. i FEEDER'S HOOK ON BLEASE Will Be Distributed to Voters Some Time Next Month. The Spartanburg Herald says additional information was obtained Saturday concerning Thomas P. Felder's book 011 Governor Please. A Spartanburg minister stated to a reporter for The Herald that Mr. Felder had shown him part of the book in typewritten form. Mr. Felder treats Governor Please as a politician, as an ollice-liolder and from tho standpoint of his personal morals. The author does not mince words in handling his subject. The minister stated that Mr. Felder would bo only too glad if Governor Bloase would prosecute him for libel, as he declares every assertion made in the book is true and lie would welcome an opportunity to prove tho truth of them tlirougli court proceedings. Six men are mentioned in connection with tho charges against the governor made by Mr. Folder.

"No deduction can bo made on account of payments to pastor's salary or charity or on account of bad debts or accounts lost," is the ruling contained in an opinion given by Comptroller General Jones Tuesday 011 the income tax question. In the letter the comptroller general enumerates the various items that may be deducted from a taxpayer's annual income. The letter is written to T. 'M. McMicliael, auditor of Orangeburg County, and is as follows: "Answering your letter of December 8, in which you enclose the income tax return for 1911 and request that I pass upon the exemptions claimed therein, 1 beg to say that this is your duty as county auditor. You are to apply to each case as it comes up, the principles laid down in the instructions already issued from this oflice, and I think you could readily solve the matter by referring to my letter to you of March 9, 1909, together with the recent circular sent you. However, I have looked over the return sent me, from which it appears that the taxpayers proposed paying upon their net income, instead of the gross income required by law. This, of course, is wrong. For instance: They state they received $5,018.75 rents from city property which they rent out; from this they deduct as non-taxable $1,407.G6 for taxes paid, $374 for insurance upon property, and $1,048.92 interest upon debts that they owe, and $501.88 for expenses of repairs, collecting rents, etc. "The items of insurance and interest are clearly not to be deducted as expenses of carrying on business. This is a small fixed charge upon the capital owned by the taxpayer. "Th? $501.88 for repairs and collections should be looked into and so much as was paid out as commissions for renting the property and collecting the rents is to be deducted from th? gross rents as a part of the necessary expenses in their production. Hut nothing should be deducted on account of repairs and improvements to the property. "I doubt whether the taxes which are deducted in this return are the taTf>a nnlr unon the real estate. It appears that these taxes are the taxes upon all of the taxpayers' property, and do not pertain to these rents alone. "As to the estimated expenses of the taxpayers' warehouse business, of course the actual expenses of such business are to be deducted from the gross income made in such business. Iiut no deduction car. be made on ac count of payments to pastor's salary or charity or on account of bad debts or accounts lost. These are in no sense a part of the expenses of producing the income from the business. "You should also look into what is the actual income from this ware1 TU/\ in vtAotrAva of of n Iiuuac UUSlIlt;oa. 1 liu ittA^ttjci o oiuiv it is 5 per cent, profit on $100,000^ estimated sales. This is very unsatisfactory. They should be required to submit their books to you and show what their actual gross sales are, and the gross profits thereon. "It is rather remarkable that the gross income should be exactly 5 per cent, on gross sales. You should ascertain the exact amount of gross sales, deduct the exact cost of the . goods sold, which will give you the gross profit or income; from that deduct the actual necessary expenses of the business producing this income, in accordance with the instructions given you. "I notice in the expenses proposed to bo deducted from the income from rents and warehouse are $735 for farm expenses. These are clearly no . part of the expenses of producing . rents or warehouse income. While the taxpayer charges $73 5 on farm t expenses he returns no gross income s whatever from the farm, hence the i farm expenses are not to be considi ered at all as an exemption except in connection with the income from that . farm which the taxpayers failed to ? return. Ascertain what was the gross ' income from the farm, and If it was r more than the expenses, add the gross . income after deducting the farm ox1 pcnses to the taxpayers' taxable int come." t ? ?
