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.

FEEDER'S HOOK ON BLEASE

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. Foui
of them have never been publiclj

THE INCOME TAX
? ?
COMPTROLLER GENERAL HAKES
IMPORTANT RULING.
No Deductions to bo Mode in Certain
Instance?The Comptroller's Ruling
in Detail.
"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."
