Crying for Deliverance.

Davidson Dis atch.
Some people either ignorantiy or
with intent to mislead and cover up
the silly, corrupt doings of the foolish
and incompetent legislature of '97,
are circulating the report that the
Board of equalization only raised
the value OF such horees, mules, COWS
and She p as were not listed at their
true value Such is not the case at all
every mule, horse, sheep and Nv
in Davidson county, no matter what
the owner swore was a true valua
ton, was raised. Every man who
gave in his stock at its real value is
now being robbed of his hard earn
ings. 1t may be small amount but
it is robbery just the same. The
people are crying for dtliverance from
such oppression.

though an indistinct story runs through
the whole. Upon this basis is built an
uproariously funny dialogue that Will no
doubt meet with great favor. Both are
said to be excellent comedians. AS San

morals and customs of the times
as is His Grace de Gram

court of Louis XIV of France, which
he spent in England, wooed and won,
despite the most determined opposition
on the part of the English king the
hand of the most beautiful woman of
her time, Elizabeth Hamilton. The
story is Interestingly told, and the play
is said to be beautifully mounted and
ccstured, with situations and cliISaxes
that are highly dramatic.

paragraph of the dispatch is repubIished.
