There are doubtless many other
brands of alum baking powder be-
sides those so far examined and
named by the authorities. Most of
the baking powders sold in bulk, by
weight, and all sold with a gift or

Prof. III. A. Mott, United States

Another subiect ana enc i whieh

Another subject and one il which
lie CAPITAL las heretofore taken
great interest AID which should be
considered before the Legislature,
is the needed Legislation relative
to the many oyster dredgers which
infest the Chesapeake bay and rivers
OF Maryland.
For years the greater number Of
these dredgers taken, are brought
70 Annapolis for investigation They
are committed and boarded IN the
Anne Arundel jail, by Anne Arun-
del authorities They are also tried
by an Anne Arundel jury and pros
ecutef By an Anne Arundel attor-
ney and the whole expense OF their
commitment, board and trial has
to be met by the County taxpayers
and the fines 60 into the State vaults
for the benefit OF the State at large.
Now while the whole % Counties
of Maryland derive the benefit OF
these fines, it is certainly just and
proper that some action should be
had by the Legislature to reimburse
the County of Anne Arundel the
amount which said county has
borne in prosecuting these cases of
the oyster dredgers.
The remote counties gain some
benefit also from the licenses issued
to the oyster vessels, by the reduc-
ton Of so much of their States tax
es, besides from taxes. received from
the shippers and Gamers.
Hoping your valuable paper
will take up these matters and
urge them upon the attention
of the Legislature,
/ remain, respectfully yours,

it shall not vote for President next

MR. WV. NJ. ABBOTT,

Sir AS the converting Of the
MARYLAND Legislature is nearing,
aud as no doubt many important
measures will be brought before it,
and discussed in committee and
before that august body as q whole,
there will be none more important
to the tax paying people Of Mary
land than the subject of taxation
and especially so to the tax pay
ing citizen OF Anne Arundel county,
which county ut the present time
pays the highest per cent. with the
exception Of Garrett and Baltimore.
May we not hope that the Legisla-
ture will adopt the report of the
committee of the Maryland Farm
er's Convention in September last,
and from which report draft OF u
proposed, law will very likely be in
PRODUCED at the coming session.
Said report states, that in referring
to the exemption from taxation
Of certain railroad property, that at
the time of incorporation no one
then saw how the infant creatures
would grow into powerful giants of
Of today. The State itself was the
cause in not enforcing the prlnci
pie that every citizen who embarks
bis capital in any enterprise must
take his chance of failure or success
in common with all persons who
engage in business pursuits, shar-
ing with all, the burden of taxation.
Other States have adopted the plan
OF taxing such properties with sue
cess.
The exemption of property used
for public worship, educational,
charitable and beneficial purposes
is by general consent, regarded as
wise and salutary, and has become
a recognized, settled principle of
the American system of taxation.
There are today in the State of
Maryland over $500, 900, 900 invest
ed in mortgages which are exempt
from taxation, and the assessablc
value of real and personal property
including notes, personal securities,
&C., is estimated Mt s473, 452, 142,
and il the amount of mortgages
were leable to taxation. why there
would be an increase OF one half
of the present basis and a coorres-
ponding reduction of one third in
the amount OF tax bills OF those
who now paw all the taxes. No
objection to the taxation of this
kind of incidental property has
been considered in any other State.
The holders of these mortgages
should pay their proportion of the
taxes, as the magistracy and con-
stabulary preserve the public peace
for the protection and comfort of
the mortgage holders as well as the
land holders.
The Courts are maintained as
we'll for the enforcement of. their
mortgage debts as for othes suitors,
aud public buildings, vaults and
records preserve the evidences of
their wealth in the same manner rs
they preserve the titles of land hold
ers.
Whatever does not improve lands,
either commercially or agricultur
ally, should be exempt from texa-
ton.
The people put their money III
good securitief, like mortgages, be
cause they are exempt from taxa
ton.
Below is table which has been
prepared in Commissioner Wool
ford's off se, and which shows Anne
Arundel to be the third County
in the list to pay the highest rate
Of taxation.

COMMENTING on what the COLD
LEAF said last week about the Press
Association going to Wilmington after
the adjournment of its regular meet
ing at Morehead on the 18th, the
Messenger says:
The invitation rendered through the
Messenger to the North Carolina Press
Association, which is to assemble at
Morehead City on the 18th, to visit
Wilmington and our several Summer
resorts. meets with general favor. We
hope the invitation Will be accepted.
Our people will be delighted to have
the editors visit this city, and trip to
the Hammocks, as also the excursion
down the river on the Queen of St.
Johns, will be immensely enjoyed by
our contemporaries. Come down,
brethren.

PUBLIC SPIRIT is a quality, or char
acteristic, possessed by too few men.
There Is a lack Of it right here in Hen
derson. For indIpiAuaI ENTERPRISE,
the GOLD LEAF will "pit" the average
Henderson business man against those
Of any town in the State, bat when it
comes to true tn6Hc spirit, we are a
trifie wanting. This is not pleasant
admission but it is true never the less.
So much by way Of preface to the fol
lowing editorial paragraph from the
Asheville Daily ,Sun:
Public spirit is essential to all sue
cess as a people. The man who never
undertakes any enterprise unless he
sees an opportunity Of realizing two
dollars Tor every one that he invests,
may have feelings in his breast or head
or stomach that he mistakes for pub
lie spirit, if it is not. The man who is
willing to do something towards up
building his town or county, towards
beautifying the public streets, build
lnss or grounds, and hopes to be COM
pensated for so doing by the pride he
takes in the improved condition of
things. has what IS known as public
spirit. The latter class of men help to
upbuIld any city, county or State that
IS fortunate enough to be their home.

= y Ideal SEASlDE RESORT

The .S0uthe1H XUmr-. Sprk,S' Guy4r
has the following to say of Morehead
CITY, the chief attraction of which is
the great Atlantic Hotel, where the
North Carolina Press Association will
hold its annual convention July 18th.
1t says:
Morchead City, as city, is vet
prophesy, but one built on a sure foun-
daton and fteighted with many
charming possibilities. 1t is, even
now, for its brief summer season. a
city IN all that modern comfort, lux
ury, galety, good company, refine
mcnt, beauty, youth and fashion sug-
gtSt. Its present success and future
magnitude was a vision to Governor
Morehead over thirty years ago, and
1t was his far seeing faith, supplemented
by his Tesistless energy and boundless
influence, that has given to the world
this ideal watering place. Although
this is essentially a Southern resting
place, the climate Is by means warm.
and Offers a most invigorating and
healthtul change to jewellers in the in
terror and along the beautiful but en-
ervating Gulf-coas,.
Morehead City is rapidly Becoming
one OF the most popular seaside resorts
on the Atlantic coast. The Atlantic
Hotel, one of the largest and best kept
houses in the South, was enlarged and
improved before the beginning of the
the present season, and if there was
anything lacking to make it strictly
hrst-class is every respect, that require
ment has been fully met by the pres
ent proprie:ors, MeSsrs. Beerman &
Cooke. MIR. Charles Beermann, one
of the proprietors of the Kimball
House, Atlanta, Ga, and Mr.. A. 7.
Cooke, OF Raleigh, VINO has had sew
eral years experience as 4 hotel man
ager, ard one of the proprietors of the
Atlantic Hotel the past two seasons,
have leased it for 4 term of years, and
are putting forth every effort to make
1t the watering place of the South.
Enlarged and improved as it now is,
the Atlantic has ample accommoda-
ton for one thousand guests, and we
are told that at one time during the
past month there were between eight
and nine hundred persons there, and
as we'll pleased a crowd as one could
wish to mihgle in.
Those Of the editorial fraternity
who were at Morehead summer before
last look forward to the coming meet
ing there next week with pleasant rec
objections and anticipations of rare
pleasure in store for them.

FOR WILMINGTON'S BJSI-
NESS MEN TO CONSIDER.

The Wilson Jlj1o, throws out some
timely suggestions TO the business men
Of Wilmington when it says:
Why should not our .tcity BY the
sea" command the trades of all North
Carolina, and do its shipping? 1t
could do a great deal more if it were
invited especially from all along the
lines OF railroad leading into Whining
ton. How NAV We be invited By
getting cheap fares on railroads, and
convenient schedules. The Whining
ton & Weldon Railroad has most
convenient train starting from Weldon
early in the morning, returning same
day, giving several hours in Whining
ton even if return by that train were
desired With the delights of the sea
side resorts, near at hand, the State
Guard encampment, and display Of
the city's resources by attractive ad-
yertisementS, Wilmington might at
tract many hundreds Of visitors during
the present summer, who getting the
run Of things might be induced to
make shopping, and more gen
trade too. 4 matter of mutual advan-
tage. Much of North Carolina money
which now goes to Norfolk, Richmond
and Baltimore and other places might
find investment in Wilmington wares:
There IS nothing equal to the enter
prise shown in the judicious use Of
printers ink.
This is very true. The GOLD LEAF
has been impressed with the apparent
lack of effort on the part of the bust
ness men of Wilmington to secure at
least a part of the North Carolina
trade that goes to Norfolk and Rich
mond and Baltimore. Why is this !?
We see no good reason why the whole
sale men Of Wilmington may not be
able to compete with those of Norfolk.
With the advantages Of her fine port
why does Wilmington not furnish
much Of the supplies that this section
of the State now looks beyond our
borders for? And has it not as much
right to this trade as any other mar
ket? The GOLD LEAF thinks SO, and
1t desires to see our seaport city flourish
ing and growing great and prosperous
upon the abundance of our wealth
giving products that now go from the
State to build up other markets and
enrich other towns.
Much of this trade can be diverted
and turned into Wilmington COM
mercial channels if her business men
SO will It. This paper is ever ready to
do all in its power toward futhering
this cherished end.

r. c. Dunn & Co., in their trade
review tor the first half year of 1888,
sums up the situation as follows:
The half year closes with a volume
of business at this date about ten per
cent smaller than that Of last year, but
larger than that of previous years.
The general complaint that business is
dull means that the reaction from the
greater activity Of year ago, and
from the confident expectations of last
winter, is leenly felt. To many
traders who bought largely in their
oyer-conhdence the shrinkage brings
serious losses and actual embarrass-
ment, and to this cause is mainly due
the increase noted during recent
months in the number of failures.

How does this sound for a North
Carolina industry? The Wadesboro
Messenger Of the -tth inst, says:
The Wadcsboro Silk Mills yesterday
shipped $50 pounds Of manufactured
silk to Russell & Murray, New York
1t is something out of the usual line
for North Carolina enterprise to lie
shipping manufactured silk abroad,
but this only goes to show the extent
and variety of our resources aud ca
liabilities. No State offers greater ad-
yantages for manufactures of all kinds.
Our soil and climate are unsurpassed,
and our timbered forests, mines and
water powers are rich in natural wealth.
