The Outlook More Favornbls.


Raleigh, n. c., Sept. 1.-Special-
Hon. K. B. Glenn, of Forsyth, Demo
cratic candidate for elector-at-large,
who has been canvassing the State, ar
rived here to-day and was for some
hours in consultation with State Chair
man +. NJ. Simmons. He reports the
outlook in the State as growing more
favorable. and declares that disaf-
fected Democrats are rapidly coming
back into the ranks.
Grand Sire Charles NJ. Busbee. of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows of America, will leave tO-mor-

Governor Holt to-day addressed the fol-
lowing important letter TO the North Car
DINA railroad commission upon the sub
ject of taxing steamboats,. which has
lately been a matter of much interest:
Your letter OF July 10th, in which you
call my attention to the fact that many
steamboats, are doing business within
the waters of cur State without any as-
sessment or payment of taxes, and that
the act constituting yourselves appraisers
does not include steamboats,. The mat
ter is one of great moment 10 the State,
and the duties Of your Office are such
that | am sure you can furnish me with
fuller information than any other source
10 which | can apply.
| therefore ask that you will, az your
earliest convenience, make an investiga-
ton and report 10 me: First. the number.
value and ownership of all steamboats,
doing business wholly within the waters
of North Carolina; second the number.
value and ownership Of all steamboats,
doing business partly within the waters
Of North Carolina and partly within the
waters of other States, and the pro-
pOrtiOnate distance Travelled by such last
named steamboats, within our waters:
third. the proportiOnate distance through
different counties of our State traversed
by all steamboats, doing business wholly
or in part within our waters, and the
propOrtionate part of their assessed value
belonging 10 said counties for taxation.
1t appears. from information which you
have givcn NE. that the failure TO re-
turn these steamboats, for assessment
and taxation on the part Of their own
erS has not been due to any purpose to
eyade the payment of taxes, but rather
TO the opinion that they are not liable
10 assessment and taxation in Our state.
because they are owned by nOn-resIdents-
For this reason ! do not think We ought
to make claim for back taxes, provided
these owners will promptly come forward
and make returns for the present and
succeeding years.
