THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
Valuation of Property in Two-Thirds of
the Counties djusted.

The State Board of Equalization was
IN session all day yesterday and adjusted
the valuation of property in two-thlrds
of the counties.
The plan upon which they proceeded
was this: The reports from all the
counties were tabulated, the total value
of each species of property in the State
found out, and from this the average
value of each individual piece of pro-
perty of each kind was determined
This done if it was found that any
class Of property was much undervalueC
in any county, that value was increased
70 about the average; if over-yalued II
was cut down Regard was always had
Of course, to the circumstances and con
ditions surrounding the property, in de
termining its value.
BY this method the average value OF
property in the seventy-two counties
from which reports have been received
and tabulated, was found to be as fol
lows: Land. S3.7S per acre; town lots
S465 ~; horses. $3.50; mules, $37.S7
jacks and jennies, $44.12; goats, 6s
cents; cattle, $6.S3; hogs, SIPS; sheep
81 cents; bicycles, $21.S3.
The land valuations were not disturb
ed this time, the Board not having time
TO go over the different sections of the
State and fix values of land in each To-
cality, as would be necessary i'll order
chat this work might be just and equl
table.
Great discrepancy. though, was found
in the number of acres returned. Ran.
dolph county, for instance, returns 30,
600 acres less than last year; others re-
turn 10000. 10000 $4,000 and so or
less In only one county-Tyrrell-is il
exactly the same. 1t has been the
same. to an acre. in Tyrrell for five
years. The Equalization Board wants
to know what has become of this land
and they have written to the sheriffs il
the counties showing the largest dis
crepancy to find out.
The only counties, so far, in which Nc
changes i'll valuation of any kind OF
property have been made are Wake
Franklin, Rockingham and Harnett.
All the counties have been heard from
but eighteen. The Board will meet from
day to day for five days, as the law pre-
scribes. The fifth day Will be Friday
If the eighteen counties that have not
yet sent in n report are not heard from
by that time a subpoena will be issued
for the sheriffs Of the counties failing to
report, commanding them to appear and
produce abstracts Of the returns for
their counties.

THE pENtTENTIARY DIRECTORS.
*
There May be a Family Quarrel When
70 They Meet To-day, ,

There is a great host of office-seekers
in town. Possibly half hundred, per-
haps more.
| The penitentiary is the political Kloh=
dixie to which they are marching Not us
inmates, but as officers over inmates.
There are would-be guards by the
score, supervisors of farms by the dozen,
clerks and wardens and deputy wardens
and book-keepers by the half dozen, and
if there is any office of any other name
the penitentiary now held by a Demo
rat, there's a candidate here for that too.
The cause OF all this is that the Board
of Directors meets this morning and 1t
has been reported that every Democrat
heretofore left in will be turned out.
But Supt. Smith intimates that he will
have a finger in the matter, and no man
goes for political reason if it is neces-
sary to keep him to maintain the eff
cheney and good management of the in
stitution.
And here l am told there may arise a
mighty big row.
The Board did not meet yesterday af-
ternoon because there was not a quorum.
present They will meet this morning.
The following directors arrived yester-
day: r. r Gotten, of Pitt county; e. T.
Clark, of Halifax; Hinton Hughes of
Alamance; Wheeler Martin, of Martin;
NJ. NJ. Peace (col), of Vance. 1t is ex-
pected that A. Y. Sigmon, of Catawba
w. III. Chadbourn, of New Hanover;
Claude Dockery. of Richmond, and G.
w. Cannon, of Brunswick, will come this
morning.
Among those who are here seeking n
place either for themselves or friends are
John d. Grimsley, Representative Dixon
and Dan w. Patrick, of Greene county
Lewis Summerell and Sheriff Buffaloe,
of Northampton; M. M. Ferrall, of
Chatham; G. NJ. Babbitt, of Pamlico, and
NJ. L. Wood, of BERTHE.
Dixon, Ferrell and Summerell want
o be supervisors of farms.
