Q. Ham- bright, Collector of Internal Rev enue for South Carolina. Hereto fore a one-fourth deduction was allowed for earned income, but there will be no deduction this year. The exemption for a mar ried person has been dropped from $3,500 to $2,500 and that for a single person from $1,500 to $1,000. Changes which the 1932 revenue 1 law brought about have been an nounced by Mr. Hambright, as fol lows: The following persons are re tax law. “Blank income tax forms have been mailed only to taxpayers who filed returns foi* the previous year. The Collector’s office has no way of knowing who the new taxpayers will be and consequently it will be impossible to furnish them with the forms for filing returns except when requested to do so by the taxpayer. These forms may be had from the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue at Columbia, or from the Deputy Collectors in. Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Florence, Sumter and Charleston. “Failure to receive* a blank foTm does not excuse the taxpayer from filing a return or prevent the as sertion of the fixed penalty if a re turn is not filed. “The Collector urges all taxpayers to file their returns promptly and calls especial attention to th.^ fact that the filing period ends on March 15th. “Estate tax returns are required to be filed for all estates whoso corpus equals or exceeds $50,000 where death of decedent occurred subsequent to June 21, 1932. For merly this amount of exemption was $100,000.” REWARD Ten dollars reward for evidence sufficient to convict party or par ties who cut water hose and did other damage at my filling station on Sunday night, January 15th.

The assembly, which is the most diversified program of the Bap tist denominational year, having in its schedule of conventions, con ferences, schools, etc., a section for every interest of the churches, has been meeting at Coker College, Hartsville, South Carolina, for the last four years. Mr. J. L.
