V VILMKKS' INCOME TAX. j Average hi Money ia United states little More Than That of Farm Hand, WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.?Rewards of a farmer are measured ia the products his farm furnishes him dl-1 reetly rather than In dollars and c-euts. according to the Department of Agriculture today lu a statement oa the r?sulta of aa invest gatlon concerning the farmer's Income. j The average fsrcaer receives Unie more money for bis year's work than he would be paid If he hired him self but as a farmhand, the investi-1 gallon shows. In other words, though be is In business tor himself, the av erage farmer gets little or no money reward for his labors and ' the risk and responsibility be has assumed.

MARVIN CHILDS BROUGHT HERE FROM ATLANTA TO DO TIME FEDERAL PRISONER Has Had a Hard F >ad in United States Court?Fa Uly Met Him Here?Will Reform. With a bright, chubby-faced little bou who had not seen daddy in noar.y a year playing about his knees auu an exceptionally attractive little wife with a mass of wavy black hair silting near him and giving Ino his face with that look of unshaken faith in her husband and an undying love for tnc father of her cunning little boy. I*. Marvin Childs, a young man of excep tionally fine appearance and physique and nattily attired, sat last night in the guard room of the county Jail and discussed with a reporter, fo* The ln tolligencer his last prison career, which began several months ago in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Childs was brought to Anderson Monday night by a ' United States marshal of the federal penitentiary at Atlanta and turned over to the county authorities of Anderson. He will serve a federal Court sentence of 3lx monttu In the county jail here for Intimidat ing a witness in the United States dis trict court for the western, district of South Carolina. While thu story is a long one, it Is interesting. At the spring. 191?, term of the federal court at Greenville. Childs was indicted on charges of using the United States mails to de fraud. Two cases wero made and proven against him, and in each case Judge Henry A. M. Smith sentenced him to serve a year and a day in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. In other words Childs was sentenced 10 serve two years and two day's in both cases. But as the sentences were served concurrently, he had to ''do time" for only a year and a day. By cxemplary conduct In the priEon itc acquired a "rebate" of 72 days on his sentence, which caused blm to serve only 9 months and 18 days. He begu? serving his sentence March 15.. 1911 and was released January 2, 1915. At the October 1913 term of the fed eral court Childs was j again ' brought up for trial this time'on charges of failure to pay license to carry on a re tall liquor business. It - was proven that Childs had acquired his license, and the case was thrown. out But in the course of the trial Childs" admon ished one of the witnesses not- to sw.?ar s ?le. ttud the government, he says, construed this as intimidating a witness. He was convicted on toe charge and sentenced to serve 6 months in the county jail at Anderson, ? is to, serve this sentence that he has come to Anderson. Childs la a native of Union county and was engaged in the locker club business there. While his cases In the federal court were undor appeal to the circuit court of appeals, sitting in Richmond, he made His home m Spartar burg. He is a man of aplen did appearance and seems to be rntuer well ee.ucaU.d. He talked very interestingly of prison life in the federal penitentiary at At Lin ta. and according to bis statements, it Is a Une place. When asked If storieB appearing hi Atlanta papers from time to time during the past fe;r moati's with reference. to troubles at the penitentiary were true, C?i'ds. declarod that there was no truth In them. K? spoke of having aa interesting souvenir while in prison there, It % is an empty cigar box left by Charles W. Morse in the tatter's :ell when he left there upon being pardoned by President Taft. The ci gars smoked by Morse, Childs states, cost $35 pen hundred .He stated that he kept the cigar box. in his cell ami used- It as a repository for pen,ink and paper, etc; Mrs. Childs and their son, are pay ing Childs a visit at the ja iL here this being the first time they have hoait together since- the husband ami Esther was aunt to prison.. Childs da jiu.rua vary emphatically last ngfae he was going to pursue the "straight and? bhat when ho got out of jail here ha was going to puruse the "straight and mrrow" for the balance at his earth ly life.
