ANOTHER FUSION BLUNDER.
The Law Making State Board Of Equal
ization is Imperative, Says Chairman
Wilson,

The Law Making State Board Of Equal
ization is Imperative, Says Chairman
Wilson.
1t seems that the last Legislature did
nothing right. The members were so
busy creating offices for themselves,
that they had no time to look after leg
islation. Where they were not corrupt
they were ignorant. Where they were
not ignorant, they were so utterly care
less and inattentive to their duties that
they took no notice of the conflicts exist
ing in the laws passed.
When the law was passed creating a
State Board of Equalization, there was
a great flourish of trumpets, and the
people were informed that the reform
ers" were going to so equalize the bur
densof taxation that the inequalities that
had formerly existed would hereafter
be Conspicuous for their absence" The
law was passed-the evil was remedied
and the news went out that reform was
triumphant and the wicked tax-dOdgers
were no more to be permitted to escape
their just share Of the burdens Of taxa
ton.
In an interview, Maj. James w. Will
son, chairman Of the Board of Equaliza-
ton, has this to say in relation to the law:
THE act creating this board requires
all the property to be reported to the
Auditor and given to us by August 10TH
this year. Up to this date only thirty
four counties have made returns. 1t is
impossible to take action until all are in
If all are here by the 18th, it will give
only fifteen days to equalize and return
to each county for revision of it's lists,
and then to return to our board. This
is an impossibility. 1t would require at
least two months to correct properly and
make a report, bur sheriffs are required
to have their tax lists in hand by Septem-
Der 1, and persons failing on that day to
pay their taxes are liable to Imprisonment
for such failure. The bill which created
our board is a copy Of the Idaho law, and
is not at all suited to North Carolina
In one place it requires the sheriff, and
| in another the register of deeds, to make
returns. There is dispute as to which
shall do it, and as result, the work is
not done by either"

For ten years I suffered from a sore
on my mouth which caused me some
uneasiness, and after having the doc
tors to take it out without effecting a
cure, l began to take Mrs. Joe Persons
Remedy two years ago. After began
to take the medicine the sore discharg-
ed great deal, but soon began to feel
better in every way, and knew it was
doing me great good. I took twenty
two bottles, and it made a perfect cure
Of my case. My general health has
been excellent ever since taking it. 1

LET THEM BE DISCHARGED.

Large numbers of the colored brethren
continue to sit in easy reach of the Jail
like black birds on a fence.
On one occasion when Judge Ship
was presiding, and the criminal bust
ness for the term had been disposed Of,
he turned to the large crowd of negroes
who made the over heated room oderi-
ferrous. and said, "You can be discharged
for the term, all the business you are
interested in has been disposed off,
1t does seem that this self-appointed
coon guard of the rapist Brodie might
very proftably be discharged for good,
and that they might learn that their OBJ
trusive exhibition of sympathy for the
perpetrator of such heneous crimes
accomplishes only evil.

Talk About Water.

Nature has supplied us with a remedy
or every disease. Many of the RENE
lies are found in roots, herbs and banks.
and to effect cures the medicinal prop
critics must be extracted and put into
concentrated form, and then properly
compounded.
Nature has also placed some of the
very best medicines in water, common.
ly known as mineral water.'' One of
the best of these is the famous OTTER
BURN LTTHIA WvTER. For indigestion,
kidney, bladder and diseases of like ma.
ture there is nothing better than Otter
burn Lithla. And the price is moderate.
