STATEMENT FROM H. A. EVANS
After reading the editor's comment
in the Evening Star, I feel compelled
to make a statement.
While' I am not ready to go fully
into details, I will say this much, I did
noJ.. go charging into the Greek's kit kitchen.
chen. kitchen. There was no loud of abusive
language on my part and the Greek
without the slightest provocation
reached for a big butcher knife and
dealt me three slashing blows with it.
I fell to the floor stunned and the
Greek went on about his business.
I recovered myself enough in a
minute or so to get up and go out, so
you will see that the Greek did not
drive me out, as the paper stated. Also
alter the shooting, I did not see any
crowd rush up and take charge of the
two men, as I merely, walked around
to the hotel and from there went to
the hospital.
From the editor's viewpoint, the
Greek is the only one of us who has
any friends. Yesterday's article in
the Star was full of misstatements
and the editor ought to be more care careful
ful careful or the people will learn to riot be believe
lieve believe anything they read in his paper.
H. A. Evans.
It is impossible for a newspaper to
print an account of a cutting or shoot shooting
ing shooting scrape or any other matter of the
sort that will please everybody. WTe
did everything we possibly could to
obtain a straight story in this case,
and we have been informed by the city
marshal that our account was substan substantially,
tially, substantially, correct. Sheriff Galloway says
there is no doubt that Evans tried to
kill the Greek; the bloodstains under
the counter showing plainly that he
fired into the wounded and helpless
man when he was down. Mr. Evans
needn't worry about our friends.
Neither the law nor public sentiment
excuses a man, no matter how many
friends he has, for trying to kill an another
other another man when that man is unarmed
and unwarned.

was enough to enable anyone familiar
with the stock to move around and

the shoes taken were of the best
quality. Mr. Little did not speak of
his loss until last night, when having
made up his mind that the goods were
gone beyond recovery he spoke of the
robbery to the Star.
Mr. Little has a complete list of the
lost property, so any person who may
be offered new or slightly worn shoes

BAD DEBTS AND
THE INCOME TAX
"Before making any deduction for
bad debts on an income tax return, the
taxpayer should make sure that he is
entitled to do sb, and that the bad
debts are of such nature that they are
clearly deductible items," declared
Collector of Internal Revenue James
M. Cathcart today.
"Just because the personal -income
ta form provides spaces in which to
claim an allowance against income for
uncollectible debts does not mean that
the taxpayer may search his memory'
for a flock of personal loans and put
them down on his return.
"The space in Block A for bad debts
is for use only by business and pro- -fessional
men who are entitled to ad adjust
just adjust their income; And such adjust adjustment
ment adjustment can be made only in cases where
certain accounts have been included in
the gross income and have since, dur during
ing during the taxable year, been found to
be uneollectable.
"In other words, only those who re report
port report their gross income on the actual
basis, that is, include their entire sales
or charges, are entitled to an adjust- ;
ment to cover sales or charges that
have been definitely determined to be
worthless. A return on the basis of
cash receipts and disbursements must
not show & deduction for worthless
debts; for the taxpayer has shown as
income only the accounts which have
proven to be good.
"Arbitrarily 'writing down debts or
bills receivable is not tolerated by in income
come income tax. Such anticipated losses,
which the reserve for bad debts con constitutes,
stitutes, constitutes, are wholly contrary to the
spirit of the law. The individual debt
itself,' together with the circumstances
in respect to its becoming worthless,
will alone be taken into consideration
when determining whether it is. de deductible.
ductible. deductible. "One other fact with respect to un uncollectible
collectible uncollectible accounts is emphasized by
the internal revenue officials. That is
that any bad dehts charged off and
later recovered is taxable income for
the year when recovery is made.
Some Other Bad Debts
"Bad debts may arise, not only in
a business or profession but also thru
bonds, notes, loans, mortgages and
other items of indebtedness, wherein
the assets of the taxpayer sustain an
actual determined. loss. In these lat latter
ter latter items any actual losses sustained
by an individual may be claimed as a
4duction as Item 5, Block I, of his
returnr.-
"Holders of bods which have be

and utter bankruptcy of the issuing
corporation revealing no assets for
distribution to the bondholders are
entitled to deduct the loss sustained.
The amount of such loss will be de determined
termined determined by the actual cost, or. if pur purchased
chased purchased prior to March 1, 1913, the fair
market value on that date.
"As to notes, loans, etc., which a
taxpayer deems uncollectible, the
facts in each case will determine
whether they are proper deductions.
They must be ascertained to be worth
less and must be charged off as an
asset within the year. If a debt is
forgiven it cannot be deducted, for it
thus becomes a gift and as such does
not constitute a deductible item.
"In the case of a loan to a relative
or close personal friend, its character
as a true debt must be proven, if any
deduction is claimed when it becomes
worthless.
"Worthless debts arising from un
paid wages, salaries, rents or similar
items of income will not be allowed as
a deduction unless the income such
items represent has been included in
the return of income for the. yean in
which the deduction as a bad debt is
sought to be made or in a previous
year, unless such rents were included
as income in his return for the year
when charged to his tenant.'

CONSIDER THE TREES
Editor Star: Trees fall across the
highways during storms. Sometimes
these trees or parts of them remain in
the roads for weeks while everybody
drives around them. In the day time
people can see these and avoid them,
but at night they are evil traps in the
path of the unwary. Many pass and
repass these obstacles and as long as
they can crawl around, never make an
effort to clear the road. In most cases,
it would take but little effort and a
few minutes time. If everybody would
take a little interest in the general
welfare, the trees would not stay in
the road for weeks and traveling
would be more comfortable and safer
for all.
At least one man in our midst is in interested
terested interested in the public good because I
saw a delivery truck belonging to an
Ocala dealer in confectionary stop and
the men riding on it, get out and clear
brush and limbs off the road to Mc Mcintosh
intosh Mcintosh the other day.
Let's have more of this spirit.
Pro Bono Publico.
