INCOME TAX RETCRNS - * ' Parties Fairing to Make Return and Remittance by Saturday Liable t<T Penalty Columbia, March 18.?A person who waits thi&ayear to be solicited for his return4 by an income tax man may find himself a delinquent and > subject to a severe penalty, is the warning sounded by the Internal Revenue Bureau officials. The duty of getting the payments and the returns in by March 15th lies solely with each individual and corporation liable under the law. "The bureau has sent every man can spare directly to the"1 people ta. aid in an advisory capacity," said Commissioner Roper. "But our men j have no time to canvass people at *" work or in their homes. Every person liable to a tax or a return must take the initiative in performing the duties required by the revenue law. If he needs information, blank forms, or advice, he should seek an income j tax officer. "The big thing now in income tax , is to get the first payments in be- j tween now and March 15th. That is the due date, under the new law. TS^ankly speaking the government nee&Mthe money to meet its obligations Tailing due on that date. "The returns of 1918 income are due at t^h^ne time, either a complete retun^showing the true tax, or a tentative return of the estimated tax, must accompany each and every payment made between now 1 ?\tV> auvt iumvu v mm "The tentative return of estimated tax is a relief measure adopted by the bureau for taxpayers who cannot complete their full returns on time. A taxpayer ^vho needs additional time for making a return cannot be relieved of the payment of the tax due or the estimated tax due. ^ But, on making the required payment between now and March 15th, the taxpayer can secure further time up fo 45 days in which to file the complete return. "The bureau in this way meets the convenience of taxpayers who . are pressed for time, but it cannot relieve them of the requirement that their taxes due on March 15th must be paid between now and the due date. "It is urged that every taxpayer who can do so make payment in full when fHtng his return. This method will greatly aid the revenue offices, and relieve the taxpayer of the necft* tr*j?rHine acainst oversight CiTDiVJ V* p, ?0 ?0 _ on future installment dates.

Xo matter which of these methods is used in paying taxes .due March 15th, the payment must actually be in the collector's office by the due date, accompanied by a return. Collector Heyward says that his office is being flooded with telegrams from people throughout the State requesting that men be sent to their localities for the purpose of assisting in making out returns and it was going to be absolutely impossi ble for him to comply with these requests between this time and March 15th; that he had engaged in this work only 20 deputy collectors who had been assigned, on an average, three counties and that he had directed these officials to use their very best judgment in their appointments so as to cover as large a number of places as possible and at the same time serve the largest number of taxpayers. Therefore he hoped that everyone that was due such a return would makeit out and send it in to the office as soon as possible, with at least one-fourth of the amount due.

Synodical Evangelist for the Synod of North Carolina, has accepted an invitation by McDowell Presbyterian Church to conduct a revival in our town, Greelyville, March 16th to 23d, inclusive Brother; Black has been wonderfully blessed of the Lord, in the State of North Carolina, in revival work for the nast twentv-fivc or thirty years. AH who know him have learned to love him. We are delighted to have him with us. In his early life he practiced law until he felt the call of God to give up his splendid practice to take up this splendid work. May God bless our town and community in these revival services. May we receive a new vision of God and things spiritual and Divine. His singer, Mr. Andrew Burr, who has been with him for fifteen* years or more, will accompany Brother Black, and we hope to sing the gos- j pel, as well as preach the gospel. Brother Burr is a Canadian by birth, and has been wonderfully blessed of God in singing the gospe'. The three churches of Greelyville (Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian) have united in this great effort. We want to see our church people revived, and the unsaved brought to a saving knowledge of Christ. In order to accommodate the people who may attend these sendees we have decided to conduct the services in the school auditorium, Dreacning at 3:30 and 7:30. We have Invited the three choirs of our town to join us in the singing. Let him that hearcth come, and whosoever will, let him come; for we are glad to have you enjoy this spiritual feast with us. The sen-ices on the third and fourth Sabbath will be conducted in the school audiforium at 11 o'clock a. m. E. B.
