VIOLENT DEATHS ^FROM'RAD LIQUOR . New York-, Jan. T?Father "fcnickerbocker turned" hfe po?k?ts tynuda e.Ut today to pdjy t^te J?lpp$ fa*: flptof the New Year amidst ^n^dla^^defying Manhatten from Harlem to the battery. There were many casualties. Police records enumerated four violent deaths attributable to holiday over-mulgence, sixteen men and women in hospitals with gunshot or knife wounds, a half-dozen poisoned by bad liquor and'scores of summonses served by members of the dry squad of 200 who attempted to make it the driest New Year's Eve Broadway had ever seen. Between midnight and 2 o'clock twelve raids by prohibition officers were reported, including ,% descent on Reisenweber'* ? -1-L?L , r? m. mmw ?r?VV^n||^ain street and Eighth avenue, and j?imiliar interference with' the festivities at a half-dozen Greenwich village tea rooms. Opiaiosi Opinions differed on whether the prohibitionists succeeded. The Evening Telegram today described the night as a' "celebration which rivalled the wildest pro-prohibition days." [" William H. Anderson, head of the State Anti-Saloon League, however, said that "although wetter than the Sahara Des$rt New York was far drier last rdfcfcVthan it had been on other holidays." Prohibition agents, he added, followed the line of least resistance and did net interfere with those who "carried their own." A more rigid enforcemen of the law he asserted, would have caused "toe much reaction against the laws." "Conditions," he summed, "in ttie freest place in the country on the freest night in the year showed a big improvement over any previous Neu Year's Eve since enactment of the Volstead Act."

Rayfield, of near Patrick, missed eighteen of her best laying hens from their accustomed roost. After a little quiet investigation she got a clue that led her to the home of one of her neighbors. In telling the officers about it, she said that she went to this neighbor's house, accompanied by her husband, and looking about the place failed to I Bee any of her chickens in the yard. | She then began calling chickens and j thought she heard some cackling down in the woods. Calling her dog, she went to the woods nearby. She continued to hear cackling and noticed that a rooster belonging to the neighbor, was loth to leave the place and continued to cackle. Following her dog into clump of bushes, she located a box in which wore a number of her chickens. With- j out any ceremony she removed the j cover, caught up the chickens and went to the house and showing them to her neighbors, said, "These are my chickens." "I don't know how they got there," was the reply. Mrs. Rayfield swore ou t warrant for Messrs. S. P. and C. A. Boan and came to Chesterfield Wednesday to appear in the case. These gentlemen , had preceded her, however, and had ' plead guilty. Magistrate Teal had imposed a fine of $25.00 each. "NUISANCE TAX" OFF The following statement is Issued by the Acting Collector of Internal Revenue, W. R. Bradley, District of : uvuvii v?i vmm 4 i In response to numerous Inquiries, taxpayers arc advised that certain taxes, among the so-called "nuisance" and "luxury" taxes, aro repealed January 1, 1022, by the Revenue Act of 1921. Patrons of soda-water, fountains, ice cream parlors and "similar places of business" no longer are required to pay the tax of 1 cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof on the amount expended for sodas, sundaes, "or similar articles of food or drink." The small boy may rejoice in the fact that an ice-crcam cone oo*t an extra penny; The tax imposed by the Revenue Act of 1921 is on "beverages antl the constituent parts thereof" and is paid by the manufacturer. The tax on the transportation of freight and passengers is repealed, effective January 1, 1922, aiso lhe tax paid by the purohaser on amounts ! paid for men's and women's wearing apparel (shoes, hats, oaps, neckwear, shirts, hose, etc.) in excess of a special price. WANT "BAD CHECK" LAW Carolina Retail Merchants Association, through its legislative committee, will take an active interest in sevI eral matters to be considered during I the Annrnii>hnir uaaatftn r\4 ftin n??< . eral Assembly, stated L. H. Wannai maker, Jr., secretary of the association, to-day. The taxation which the merchants have l>o?-n compelled to carry has been particularly heavy and i is out of proportion to that imposed upon probably any other class of tax. payers, said the secretary, who added i than ever before is indicated by re. only- for equitable treatment and that the principal object of the association i was to obtain that for its members. , The retail merchants believe that i their spokesmen will be able to con. vince the authorities that under the . present tgx system and practices the i merchants are being discriminated , against, and that when this is shown i to be the case, appropriate action to ? reme<Jy conditions will follow. , Another matter that the State as? sociation will urge tl^e Legislature to favorably consider is a more Btringi ent law against the giving of worth, less checks. That the merchants have p received more "bad" chocks this fall r that the merchants were contending i ports from all sections of the State. The general opinion is that the present law is inadequate and that a more drastic act is necessary to deter people from even attemptng to obtain money, goods or credit by means of checks or drafts given by those who have no funds to their credit. The banks will be asked to co-operate ih ? tki. ?? -?? ? - , vino maticr ni?o, as it id very inoy< ) ing to them to handle such a great - number of checks that have to be returned unpaid, t Arrangements have already been made for the introduction of bills in ? the Senate and House and their sponsors are confident that some law more effective than the present one seems to be will result. Conditions in respect to worthless checks are apparently not confined to South Carolina. The Legislature of AlabaI ma, at a recent extraordinary session, [ passed a drastic "bad" check act, which was put into effect immediately upon its signature by the Governor, i "the public welfare requiring it." The South Carolina Retail Merchants' Association will ask the Legislature to pass a similar law for this State. Sol Kohn, of Columbia, is chairman of tho association's legislative committer. Although still quite young the State Association is growing steadily and has members in many sections of South Carolina, said the secretary. 1 """ ' I'tf ''1 ANNOUN I wish to announce am now located in the formelry occupied by be glad to have you gi\ need of auto repairing.

An official bulletin has just come from the United States Census Bureau which incidentally shed* a lot of light on cooperative marketing. Some scoffers have said that they doubted whether California growers under cooperative marketing had enjoyed much more prosperity than other farmers. Well, the United States Government through its Census Bureau has just issued a statement naming the fifty richest agril cultural counties in the United I States?the fifty counties where farmers are making most money. Were any of these richest farm! ing counties in California? The very first or richest one of all was one of the California cooperative marketing counties. So was the second richest. The fourth, seventh and eighth richest were also California cooperative marketing counties. In other words, of the eight richest farming counties in America, five Iwere from California's cooperative marketing counties. And of the entire list of the fifty richest American No Prk The Lucas Auto following letter: Ford M Charlotte, N.
