f i' 1 INCOME TAX UW TO BE TNF9RCE0. COMPTROLLER GENERAL ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS TO AUDITORS-TIME EXTENDED TO MAKE RETURNS. Columbia, March 28:?Comptroller General Jones has written a circular letter to the county ' auditors of the State in which he calls attention to the income tax law and instructs them to enforce the same. At the end of the letter the following approval is signed by Governor Ansel: "I approve of the extension of time to make the returns re* ferred to." This approval by Governor Ansel "will doubtless have the effect of making the law enforced in the various counties. Comptroller General Jones has frequently called attention to the non-enforcement of the income tax law. It was stated a few days ago that if the law were not complied with under the extension of time asset forth in the circular letter, which is being sent out today, the auditors in the counties where the law is not enforced will be reported to Governor Ansel, and their re ? i._j zc it. : 1. raovai requesieu u ii isaiiuwu that they are responsible for the conditions in their counties. The letter of Comptroller General Jones to the county auditors is as follows: To County Auditors: Under the Code of Laws of South.Carolina, Sections 276 and 370, the Comptroller General is required to prepare and transmit instructions to carry into effect the provisions of the tax laws, and to decide all questions which may arise as to the true construction of the same. The instructions thus given shall be obeyed by, and the decisions thus made shall be bind, ing upon, all county, town and municipal officers. By virtue of the authority vested by law in the Comptroller General with the approval of the Governor the time for making the income tax returns is hereb? extended to May 1, 1909. S After that date the penalty of SO per cent must attach upon all who have then failed or refused to make such returns. Immediately upon receipt of these instructions you are di rected to prepare a list of all persons who you may believe are , liable are liable for the income tax. In preparing this list ycu should call on and consult with the members of the county and township boards of assessors, and such citizens as may in your * opinion have information touching the income of those liable. You are further directed to place in the hands of each person so listed an income tax blank and require such person to (ill out said blank and swear to same. f . In case any person refuse or fail to file or swear to said return, proceed to assess the amount of their income upon in. ? formation or belief, and add I thereto a penalty of 50 per cent and charge the aggregate upon your tax duplicate. On May 1 you are required to file with the Comptroller General duplicates of the above lists, together with a statement as to each taxpayer, showing the action taken by him. Yours very truly, A W Jones, Comptroller General. * The income tax law has been giving considerable trouble ever since it was placed on the stat ute books.

I I How to Increase the Yield of Fruit Increased fruit crops are more often the result of good management than of good luck. Fruit trees and fruit plants need a liberal supply of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers 0 The trees absorb plant foods?that is, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash?from the soil just the same as any other crop. Experience has shown this over and over again. This truth has become so wHl recognized that" return to the land what the tree removes if you v ^^^Lgxpect the best results " has become an axiom with the best War, peach, orange and other fruit trees soon respond to * caref . ulization. But be sure to use the best fertilizers. r u nade a test with other companies' fertilizers," says Mr. H. O. y Lowry, of Manatee County, Fla.," and yours proved to be the best. The yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizer, was just twice as much as where the other two companies' fertilizer was used." Hundreds of users say Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are cheapest because of their good qualities?give better satisfaction and quicker results. Many facts of great interest and value to fruit growers are published in the new 1909 Farmers' Year Book, a copy of which will be sent free on application to any of our sales offices.
