TAXES LEVIED.

The taxes levied by the last
Legislature are % cents on prop
erty and for general purposes, ! 5
cents for schools, 3 cents for
PENSIONS; total 43 cents, $1.29
on polls. The word met" asap-
piled to incomes is allowed it's
ordinary meaning of ''free from
expenses, or Ito produce as
clear profit, namely "that which
remains after the deduction of all
charges or outlay AS to the
merchants purchase take, it does
not include butchers and buck
sters. County commissions can
issue free of charge, licenses to
MANNED Confederate soldiers to
peddle goods, wares or merchan-
disc, other than liquors. Mer-
chants, dealers, &C., are not re-
quired to take out an annual
privilege license that was former
ly issued by the sheriffs in Jan
uary. Debts owed to a person
must be listed as a solvent credit,
without regard to The home
stead or personal exemption,
and the same applies to money
in bank on deposit. 1t is a mis-
demeaner for a tax payer, with
intent to cvade the law, to ex-
change a certificate of deposit for
non tax paying securities and
after the date for listing proper
ty expires to take such certificate
back.

SUCCESSION OF THE LIEU.
TENANT GOVERNORS.

The office of Lieutenant Gov
ernor did not exist in this State
until 1868, and since that time
the lieutenants have been a
lucky lot.
In 1870, Caldwell succeeded
,Hnlden, served two years., was
teieHed Governor in 1872, died in
1874, and his lieutenant, Brog-
den, served out the term. In
1879, Vance was elected to the
Senate, and his lieutenant,
Jarvis, served out the term, and
took a four years lease of his
own.
Lieutenant Governors Robin
son and Stedmen, to Jarvis and
Scales, respectively, neverreached
the executive chair.
Brog,len and Holt succeeded
on the Death of their Governors;
Caldwell through Holden's i'm
parchment, and Jarvis by the
promotion of Vance to the Sen
ate.
Thus, six Governors have been
elected since reconstruction, and
four of the Lieutenant Governors
have succeeded to the office of
Governor.
Should Governor Holt serve to
the end of the term, January
1898, the four lieutenants will
have served eight years, alto
gether, or one third of the period
of twenty four years, since the Of
flee of Lieutenant Governor was
created.

ROANOKE AND SOUTHERN
MINERAL RESOURCES.

The Roanke and Southern
Railroad authorities have Just
had issued from Blum's electric
power presses, Salem, a report on
the mineral resources along the
route by H. B. C. Mite, Mining
Engineer, Baltimore.
The report, which is one of the
handsomest specimens of typo
graphy ever delivered from a
Southern press, covers forty
pages, comprehends the whole
field, and is exhaustive of the
subject.
Beginning with the Typography
of the route between Winston
and Roanoke, it's geology is divi
ded into mine sections Danbury,
Walnut Cove, Martinville, Davis
Mill, Stewards Knob, Brown
Hill, Rocky Mount, Helms and
Roanoke sections.
In each of these sections the
mineral deposits are thoroughly
examined, and the ores carefully
analysed and results given; and
in every detail the report is
specific, as to quantities, charac-
ter OF the deposits, and includes
iron, coal, flexible sand stone,
mica, manganese, limestone,
building stone, etc.
The reports shows that the
route of the Roanoke & Southern
Railroad is through a country
rich in deposits of iron ore and
within easy reach of large
deposit of Brown Hematite ore
at Helms Station in Franklin
County, and within II miles of
an immense deposit of magnetic
ore at Danbury. In Roanoke
County, il intersects the Potsdam
Brown ores. Furthermore there
are large deposits of building
stone, stoap-sone, sandstone,
etc, along the line.

LAST CHANcE.

Elk Sheriff Boyer seems to be tax
ing advantage of his last chance at
the taxpayers Of Forsyth. He has
just published list Of over 1900
land owners in Forsyth county COW
ering last years taxes the cost upon
which amount to nearly 81 900. Far
mers who failed to get in by the Is,
of March have had to pay 20 cents
cost. The costs alone pay pretty
fair salary, which, we learn, is being
closely collected.-Union Republi-
can.
Such unfair criticism as this does
public harm, and gross injustice
to officials.
Mr.. Boyer is simply obeying
the commands of the law in the
collection of the taxes, and doing
what all the sheriffs of the State
are doing. Those who are not
advertising delinquents in the
newspapers are posting them
otherwise. The first Monday in
May appears to be general lsund
sale day in the State for non
payment of taxes, and great
many papers come to this office
from various counties with long
lists of delinquent taxpayers.
If ex-Sheriff Boyer is departing
from the lines of his duty, and
taking an undue advantage OF
the people to Cypress them, the
law will step in and punish him,
as the Republican very well
knows.
But, on the other hand, if he is
simply discharging a disagreeble
duty which the law has imposed
upon him, the editor of the Re
publican, as every good citizen,
SnOuIQ commend ana not con-
denim, should aid and not en-
barress him; and, while regretting
the necessity and severity of the
course prescribed by the kegis-
lature for the collection of the
State and county revenues, should
hold up his hands in the perfur-
nance of the official duties which
the law has imposed upon him
under heavy penalties, and not
try to create "a false impression
in regard to the work heis doing,
with the sole view of creating a
prejudice against him.

Some of his official acts may be
open to criticism, and the whole
people may not at times have APP
proved his conduct. but whether
as governor, or indge,. soldier,
or civilian, patriot or partisan,
lawyer or man, Daniel Gould
Fowle was the highest type of a
North Carolina gentleman; q
man of goodfellowship; one who
wanted to keep on speaking
terms with the whole world;
whom disapprobation stung to
the quick; soul that could never
have survived the esteem of it's
surroundings.
He was responsive to that
touch of nature which makes the
world akin; he was richly en-
dowed; he possessed the graces
and gifts of greatness, and the
State mourns the death of a no
BILE son.
The Raleigh News and Obser-
YER, whose accomplished editor
is without a peer on the press
of the State, paid Governor
Fowle the following just tribute
on his election:
From his early manhood, in
1861, up to the present time,
Daniel G. Fowle has ever been a
constant, earnest, able and effec-
tive advocate of civil liberty,
good government and that
greatest of all blessings, the
Constitution as understood and
defined by that grand old Roman,
Thomas Jefferson. His moral
character is without blemish. As
a soldier, he was true to his flag,
as a legislator he was able and
conservative, as a lawyer he
stands without a superior. as a
Judge he was great and pure,
and an ornament to that bench
which had been occupied by such
men as Caldwell, Manly, Nash,
Pearson, Battle, Ruffin and Badg-
er, and as a political orator none
can surpass him.

Superintendent Porter of the
Census Bureau says the South is
now producing as much pig-iron
as the entire country didin 1870.
He says the next ten years will
show as much relative growth of
the steel production of the South
as the past has shown in the pro-
duction of pig-iron. The coal
production of the Southern States
in 1880 was only $4,000 tons;
in 1890 it was 100000, ten
times as much. Cotton factories
he says have more than doubled
in the South.

In speaking of the direct tax
refund bill Colonel Bob Harde-
man OF Georgia said: 1t was an
outrage for congress to have re
funded this tax which was
clearly a legal tax, without re-
funding the cotton tox, which
the supreme court has decided
was clearly an illegal, tax. But,
ofcourse, the refusal to refund was
because the north would get none
of the cotton tax. Why Georgia
alone paid 81, 1897, O94 of taxes
on cotton to the general govern
ment, and under the decision of
the supreme court we are entitled
to every dollar of it back. The
only thing needed is for congress
to make an appropriation to re-
fund it. Altogether the cotton
tax amounts to over sos, OOO,-
600, and of course the northern
epublicans, who are unfriendly
to the south, will always fight
refnnding IT, But some day
when sectionalism is buried, 1
feel confident we shall get the
$11 900, 900 which the supreme
court says the government never
had any right to collect and
should, therefore, refund to the
states from which collected.

Incre..ed Mail F.c,,i.ie. Needed.


The Charlotte Chronicle has an
able article, nearly two columns in
length, showing the need of better
mail facilities for North Carolina.
There is too much work on the gen
eral through line, between Washing
ton and Atlanta, via Greensboro and
Charlotte, for the limited force to
handle, and says that often a
delay of thirteen hours is caused
in the delivery at Charlotte, by the
mail being carried through-from an
inability to handle it before getting
to that city. The government should
look carefully into this matter and
put force on this line sufficient TO
do the work.

April Report of the Departne Mt Of
Agriculture on wheat
The April returns to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington
make conditions of winter wheat
96 9, and of rye 90 4. The season
for seeding was favorable over the
whole winter wheat area ; the soil
was generally easily worked, the
seed bed prepared with usual care,
and sowing followed with gentle
rains, sufficiently to properly pack
the earth and perfect termination.
The general average for condition is
the highest reported for April since
1852, and the, individual state aver
ages are remarkable for their unifor-
nifty. 1t Is 16 points higher than
last year and three above the returns
for 1889.
High April ondition does pot in
sure large yield, but it indicate a
strength and vitality which would
enable the plant to Withstand more
than the ordinary yicissitudes of the
season The nearest approach to the
present condition during recent years
was in 1854. when the largest crop
eyer grown was harvested, but a
similar high condition in 1856 was
followed by crop of little more than
average propo! tons.
The averages of condition in the
principal states are: New York 90,
Penns. lvania 81, Tennessee 90, Ken
lucky 81, Ohio 9S, Michigan 90, In
diana 80, Illinois 81, Missouri 90,
Kansas 80. California 80, Oregon 81.

THE SIX LIVING Hx.1ovERNv
ORS.

The executive office is not
usually regarded a very fatal one,
it's occupants generally enjoying
length of days. u
Within our recollection, three
Governors have died in office,
Governor Ellis, July 1861, Gov
ernor Caldwell, July 1874, and
Governor Fowle, April 1891, all
within a period of thirty years.
Governor Ellis died of con-
sumption, Governor Caldwell
of Bright's disease, aud Governor
Fowle of fatty degeneration of
the heart. Labors and exposures
of campaigning, undoubtedly,
FASTENED the death of each.
There is IL good list ofsurvivors
of the Office. Governor Reid,
1S51-'54; Holden 1865 and
1S6S-'7O; Brogcen 1S74'77;
Vance 1S62-'65, 1S77-'79; Jarvis
1S79-S5; Scales 1SS5-'S9.
Governor Reid was elected to
the United States Senate, in
November 1864, and Hon. War
rem Winslow, Speaker of the
Senate succeeded to the office as
Governor, ex-officio, for the
belance of the term, one month.
Governor Holden was inn
peached, removed from Office, and
went to Washington as admins
tration editor of the Daily Chron-
icle. Returning home President
Grant appointed him Post mas
ter, at Raleigh, and he held the
office eight years.
Governor Brodgen was elected
to Congress during his term as
Governor, served two years, and
retired in 1879 to his farm in
Wayne, after forty one years of
almost continuous public life,
where he now is.
Governor Vance was elected to
the United States Senate in the
middle of his term, January
1879, and has achieved there
about the greatest distinction on
the floor, ever won by a Senator
from North Carolina.
Governor Jarvis went from
the executive office as United
States, Minister to Brazil, and re-
turned home to the practice of
the law at Greenville.
Governor Scales, on retiring,
went into the banking business,
at Greensboro, where he is in the
enjoyment of health, and ii pros
porous hard working life.
Governor Reid first entered
public life in 1885, serving five
years in the legislature, and
four years in congress, before
1913. He is now seventy eight
years old, and very infirm at
Wentworth, his old home; and
Governor Holden is very feeble
from age and two strokes of
paralysis.
Not only does the office appear
to be favorable to longevity, but
OF the six surviving ex-govern-
ors, all but Governor Scales have
held other public office, and, for
that matter, no one knows what
still awaits him.

At London, England, and Bremen,
Prussia, the longest day has sixteen

At Hamburg, in Germany, and
Dantzig, in Prussia, the longest day

At Wardoe, Norway, the longest
day lasts from May 81 to July %
without interruption.
At st. Petersburg, Russia, and
Tobolsk, Siberia, the longest day is
nineteen hours and the shortest five
hours
At Tornea, Finland, June 21 brings
n day nearly twenty-five hours long,

At New York the longest day is

Canada, it is about sixteen hours.
