COUNTY BUDGET
Increasing Cost of Administra
tion and Road Maintenance
: Wil Increase Tax Levy
GOOD, EOADS PRO
GRAM IS DISCUSSED
Hemberg, of Legislature and
County Commissioners. Meet
- in Annual Joint Session
"The Suintcr County Board of Com
missioners and the members of the
: legislative delegation met yesterday at
the office of the board in the court
Jlo^use in annual joint session to con
sider the county budget and to forma
lste plans for the necessary legisla
tion for the county. All members of
both bodies were present, except Rep
1 resentative Jackson.
.The chief matters considered were:
'? A program for good road construction,
the increasing cost of county govern
ment, the continuation of the appro
Viation for the county home demon
problem and ways and means for
public cotton grader and the pij^'oa
bility that it will be necessary to in
crease the levy for roads and county
ordinary expenses.
The greater part of the session was
taken up in the discussion of the road
problem and ways and maens for
btjilding and maintaining a system of
good roads in the county. No pro
gram was formulated and no agree
ment was arrived at, it being the opin
ion of the meeting that any plan that
the county may put into operation will
be dependent upon the good roads leg
islation that may be enacted by the
coming session of the general assem
bly. A committee of the commission
ers was appointed to investigate the
cost of constructingjiard surface and
gravel roads with the view of laying
these facts before the legislative dele
gation at a/ subsequent meeting.
. No definite decision was reached as
to the levy for county ordinary ex
penses, but it was evident*that the.;
' increased cost of every department
would almost certainly necessitate a
higher levy this year.
The matter of continuing the ap
propriation for the home demonstra-:
tion agent and the appropriation for j
"the public ctoton grader was dis-'
cussed, but no action was taken.
' The .board decided to send a repfc-j
sentative to tlie good roads institute to;
. be held at the University of Fouth !
Carolina February 10th.

CHURCHES PLAN
GREAT B'UDGEl
Vast Sum to Be Expended ii.
Five Years
Atlantic City, Jan. 9.?The budget o.
; the interchuroh world movement to
he used in coordinating the energies
of the Protestant denominations for
the evangelization of the world, was
approved today at the conference of
1.400 church leadersjhere. The budget
: calls for the expenditure of 1,330,
000,000 in the next.live years. It pro
vides for evangelistic work in Ameri
|ca athd the foreign field, proper fin
lancing of hospitals and homes, liberal
! awards to struggling colleges, for the
fighting of social and industrial unr
j rest and better wages to both minis
ters and missionaries. It is specified
that no part of the budget shall be
! changed by a board of review to b<
'?appointed with equal represent.:.':r>n of
all denominations without the cur. ? nJ
of the denominational board direct!,
affected.
Three hundred and twenty millions
are to be expended in 1920. Presby
terians and Methodists joined in pro
testing the original selection of tin
period between April 21 and May 2 as
the time for the drive to'raise this
year's quota. Dr. Nolan Best, a Pres
i byterian. complained that these dates
would conflict with the Presbyterians
! "every member" canvass and moved
that the drive be deferred to February
10-27, 1921.
i Dr. David C. Downey of New York,
a Methodist, called attention to a
.declaration of the Methodist leaders
that followers of that faith should
participate in no other drives until af
j ter Methodism's centenary fund o:
y2,000,000 is completed. Dr. Down
ey said the world surveys of the inter
church world movement whicH it was
proposed to use as a basis for the
$320.000,00.0 drive are "incomplete
and inconclusive.."
After considerable discussion the
administration plan to have the cam
paign this year was adopted.
Methodists and Presbyterians as
serted that they would not be par
ticipating bodies without first gaining
the consent of the ruling bodies ol
their denominations.
Another discussion occurred over
manner in which the funds to be rais
ed in the cooperative "ingathering"
are to be apportioned. John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., proposed, that all monej
received through the central treasurx
as;dc from the several denomination
al fund", be distributed among th<
various active denominations pr<
rata.
A substitute plan advanced by, Di
C. H. Patton of Boston, who present
ed the report, proposed that the gen
era! fund to be apportioned on the ha
sis of actual collections made by th<
denominations. When a tight seeme I
imminent on the question it was re
ferred to the general committee t'
be apointed later, which is to rule up
On all questions in conflict.

"The president has made his post

rejects absolutely the reservation? j
ulopted by a decisive majority of the
senate. He says we must. take th
treaty .without any change which alt
^rs its meaning, or leave it. He wii.
permit interpretations, whatever tha
may mean, expressing its undoubted
meaning when there is hardly a lin<
of it which has not been questioned

always stoo l, for the treaty just as'it
is. .
"The fssue is clearly drawn.. Th<"
reservations intended solely to protect:'!
the United States in its sovereignty

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
^^^^ - -_ - T f '
Let There Be No Discords
If your Ford car is out of tune, there is undoubtedly a very good Reason for it.
And the best way fo find that reason, and have it remedied, is to jump, in and drive
to our authorized Service station, where one of our mechanics who is thoroughly
acquainted with the Ford mechanism and who knows the Ford way to adjust or
repair your car, can tune it up in a garage that is properly equipped to give real
Ford Service. Then, too, we never use imitation parts?only the Genuine Ford-made,
strong and durable. They wear from thirty to seventy-five per cent, longer than the
counterfeit parts- that arc softer and more cheaply made. In fact it is dangerous to
human life to use imitation parts, and it is not fair to your Ford car or your pocket
book.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford Sen-ice organization whose purpose it is to
serve the owners of all Ford cars and trucks: we have more than a passing interest
in your car. Prompt service is given on all work?-from a minor adjustment to a
motor overhaul. Drive in and see the facts for yourself?there's too much money
invested in your Ford car to miss connections with the authorized Ford dealers.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Deductions from gross income in
determining net income include ail
business expenses, which are the
amounts; actually incurred during the
tax year in the conduct of business;
trade or profession.
A merchant may claim as deduc
tions the amount paid for advertis
ing, hire of clerks, and ether employ
ees, the cost of light, fuel,' heat, wa;
:er, and telephone used in his place
>f "bus"ness. the cost of operating de
ivery wagons, motor trucks, and in
idental repairs to. such vehicles.
I A physicah may claim as deductions
?he cost of medicines and medicinal
iupplies used by.Jum" in his practice,
i reasonable proportion" of the ex
nenses paid in . the ^maintenance and
?epair of an automobile used in mak
rig professional calls, the expenses of
attending medical : conventions, du.es
o medical societies and subscrip
ions to medical journals, the . rent
jaid for office rooms and' the cost of
:ioat. water, light, telephone, etc.:
ised in such office rooms, and salaries
>aid to office csaistants. The same
leduotions are allowed a dentist.
Farmers jjOSo Considered
The farmer may deduct all amounts
?aid in preparing bis land for a crop,
.rid the cultivation harvesting, and,
nrirlsotihg of'the crop. The cost of
seed and fertilizer used arid amounts
Vpeht i;? caring for live. ?tocTc are-de
fuel U-ms. Tfic-j co*i~ of* minor
'?epans to farm buildings, other than
the dwelling, and of fences^farm m.a>
hinery, and wagons may be claimed,
ils? the cost of farm tools, which are
us^d up in the course of ai; year or
r.wo.^Thc ooi?i of machinery of a'
le'rmanent. charcter, such as a
thrashing machine or tractor, is held
to bo a capital investment and is not
an allowable deduction. Rent paid
for a farm is deductible.' .
The principles underlying these al- j
lowarice? are equally applicable to th'r
con-duet of any trade, business, or pro
fession. In short, all expenses con
nected" soltdy and directly with the
conduct bf an income-producing bus
iness, /trade or profession, o: voca
tion are allowable.
Losses incurred by a taxpayer in
any transaction entered into for
profit outside of his regular business
are allowed. Under the 1917 act .de-j
ditctioris for such losses were allowed
j Drtly to the extent of gains in similar
j transactions. If. for example, a per
l son made $1,000 in ope. stock mar
I -k%t transaction ? and ih another -lost
[ $5,0*00 he was required.'to' include the
$1*000 in his- return of gross income,
and could deduct only that amount
?is a loss. Under the current act
j he is allowed a deduction of $4,'?'J0.
A reasonable allowance is made for;
depreciation of business property and;
obsolescence,' and for the. depletion j
of oil and gas wells and other natural !
deposits.
Contributions or gifts made during
the year 1919 to corporations organ
:<ed for charitable, scientific, relig
ious, or educational purposes., or for
he prevention of cruelty to animals
? ?r to the .special fund for vocational
rehabilitation may be' deucted to an
?vne%ht not exceeding 15 per cent of
the taxpayers incdme.
Other Deductible Iteins.
Other items which may be deduct
ed ate as follows: " .
Taxes paid, or accrued during the
y/ear 1919; except income, war prof
its', or excess-profit taxes, and*- those
assessed against local benefits of a
.kind.tending to improvethe value Of
.the property. . '
? Less of property .not connected, with*
[ rade or business rising from fires,
I "orms. shi-pw.feck. or Other casualty,
I or from thefi.. if not. compensated for
j by insurance or otherwise.'
Debts ascertained to be worthless
j nrid charged, off'.within the year.
Interest paid pr accrued on indebt
\ edness except indebtedness incurred
I to purchase securities, the interest
, upon which is exempt from tax.
