improvements put on many a piece of
property.
The city while made to levy and dis
burse its taxes, is made to take a back
seat when it comes to valuing the prop
erty ON which it has to raise the taxes
Our legislators seemed to recognize the
injustice of this law when they created
the Board of Equalization for the city,
and empowered them to meet co-jointly
with the County Board, for the purpose
of adjusting this matter of valuations.
This Board should be constituted of
practical business men, who know some
thing of the value of property, real and
and courage to send for men and books
personal, and who possess enough nerve
when in their opinion the occasion de-
mands.
We cannot expect the valuations of
our real estate to run up proportion
lately with other cities of the State from
the fact we have more property exempted
from taxation than any of the others.
Raleigh contains over 55 acres of land,
the most desirably located in the city,
that pays not a cent of taxes which with
the improvements thereon would list at
| NEARLY three million dollars. But in
the matter of personal property; we
should not be behind? It's here, whether
listed or not.
| / feel sure there are many pieces Of
property in the city unlisted. An alder
man of your Board has recently bought
two homes and lots that haven't been
listed for Is years. There is but one
way of Strengthening the matter up.
Take a census of every lot in the city
and check it against the tax books, and
prevent the escape of improvements in
future by requiring permits from the
| city before starting the. | therefore re-
commend that he Mayor be authoiZed to
employ a man to take this census-and
that a strong ordinance be passed re-
quiring every person, corporation or COM
pany building, or experimenting the
| building of any house within the cor
porate limits shall before doing same, pro-
cure from the city clerk a permit that
shall be kept for such purpose. The
first will insure the listing of all the
property in the city. The second will
enable the Board of Equalization at its
| annual session to keep up with the i'm
provements by checking against the stubs
of this permit book.
| The valuation of real estate
| listed during the year was .$3,326,571
Personal property .......... 1,46S, 30
| Total, ...... ~, I94,SZo
BY comparison with 50 we find this is
gain in valuation of realty of nearly
$4S 900 and in personally of about $780,
600. This is not so unsatisfactory when
we consider the loss entailed in the burn
ing of the r. and G. r. r. shops amount
ed to more than $4,000.

UNIFORMS FOR STATE GUARD.

The Quartermaster Generals depart
ment has made an exhaustive requisi-
ton upon the United States for North
Cardinals pro rata of the national appro-
priation for 1897 for ordinance and
quartermaster's store to thoroughly equip
every company of the State Guard for
the fiscal year. Shipments will be made
to the companies about July 18th or
Goth. This national appropriation is the
only source from which the State Guard
can secure uniforms, ammunition or
equipment of any xii since the State
appropriation is barely sufficient to de-
fray the expenses of the Adjutant Gen
erals department and pay the armory
rents of the various companies.
The new clothing this year will con-
sist mainly in useful fatigue garments,
few dress uniforms having been ordered.
1t is said that the men will be provided
with red flannel shirts.

What is This Disease Called

Like thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides. and sometimes
in the back. They feel dui! and sleepy
the mouth has bad taste, especially in
the morning. A sort of sticky slime col
lects about the teeth. The appetite is
poor. There is feeling like a heavy load
on the stomach; sometimes faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the stomach
which food does not satisfy. Eyes are
sunken the hands and feet become cold
and feel clammy. After a while a cough
sets in, at first dry, but after a few
months it is attended with a greenish
cOlored expectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep does not
seem to afford any rest. After a time
he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There is a
giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive; the skin is dry
and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and staghant; the whites of the
eyes become tinged WITH yellow; the
urine is scanty and high colored, dcpos-
lting a sediment after standing. There
is frequently a splitting up of the food,
sometimes with a sour taste and some
times with a swedish taste; this is fire.
quently attended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes; there is feeling
of great prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn present.
1t is thought that nearly one-third of
our population has this disease in some
Of its varied forms. 1t has been found
that medical men have mistaken the ma
ture of this disease. Some have treated
it for a liver complaint, some for dis
pepsia, others for kidney disease, etc.,
ETC., but none of the varied kinds of
treatment have been attended by sue
cess.
Now the Shaker Digestive Cordial caus-
es the food eaten to be digested. This
win cause an appetite for more food,
and this being digested will result in
an increase of strength, an increase of
flesh and an increase of nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give way
to vigor and courage. The pale, thin and
emaciated will recover their color and
plumpness, because red blood and fat are
the result of properly digested food.

MRS. Joe PERSONS REMEDY Is
AbW0NDERFUL MEDICINE"

Five years ago / was completely run
down from general debility. My liver
would not act. had indigestion, was
just as nervous as l could be, and was
always tired. The least exertion would
bring on shortness of breath and it was
a drag to keep up. A friend of mine who
had been cured by using Mrs. Joe Per-
sons Remedy told me to take it. I
bought u dozen bottles and took it just
because | had to take something. I suf-
fered greatly from wakefulness, would
lay awake often the greater part of the
night, unable to rest or sleep, and when
| had finished the six bottles, I WAS
WE'LL. Indigestion cured, that short
ness of breath cured and I felt like an
other person. Mrs. Joe Persons Rene
dy is wonderful medicine. 1t did me
more good than anything l ever took in
my Life.

WARM BEGINNING FOR JULY.
The Thermometer got to 90, Then the
Humidity did the Rest.

The Thermometer got to 90, Then the
Humidity did the Rest
Wednesday was the hottest day this
year, the thermometer climbing up to
SO. Yesterday would probably have
gone it one better, but the rain came and
saved the situation. The mercury in
Forecaster Won Herrmann's place of
business, however, recorder SO at /
o'clock. By 3 o'clock, usually the hottest
part of the day here, it would have gone
to 81 or possibly 90, had the thunder
storm not come up.
But even SO is not a bad starter for
July and after the rain the humidity of
the atmosphere made up what the sun
had lost by the clouds and falling water.
Everybody sweltered and many of them
"cussed,' while the mercury climbed up
from 72-where it dropped to during the
rain, to "a, where it stood three hours
later.
The record for the day is as follows:
II o'clock, 92; II o'clock, "a; / o'clock,
96; 2 o'clock, "a; 3 o'clock, u; o'clock,
80; 5 o'clock, 81. This was the record at
the Weather Bureau. On the street it
was from to s degrees hotter than
given above.
The mean temperature for the month
has been rs degrees-one degree more
than the average for FJune5Ytzt
The highest Temperature was 96 de-
grees on the Both, and the minimum was
above so on ten days. r The lowest tenn
perature during the month was So on
the End. There was quite h cool period
from the 9th to the 10th and another
from the 10Th to 23rd.
The total rainfall for the month was
3.44 inches, of which about half fell dur
ing the thunder storm ON the morning
of Oath. Small amounts of rain occurred
on nineteen days of the month, but the
total was two inches below the normal.
The prevailing wind direction was
southwest with a very low average
hourly velocity of about FIVE miles. The
highest velocity during the month was
% miles, from the southwest, during the
storm on the Oath.
The average humidity was 50 per cent.
The number of clear days in the month
was 8; the partly cloudy days IT; number
of cloudy days,5.
The month was singularly free from
any unusual atmospheric disturbances;
no hail, storms or cyclones of unusual

VALUATION OF PROPERTY.

II CASUAL glance over ILe LAX UOOkS

Dis "a defect in our method of valuing
property that can and should be RENE
died.
The homes of the working people are
almost invariably assessed at their full
value, while those Of the wealthy go ON
the books at from so to 60 per cent of
their value. This condition forces the
poor man Ito pay his full share of the
taxes, while it relieves the wealthy of
from 40 to SO per cent of what they
should in all fairness pay.
This is wrong. Its an unequal distri-
button of the burden. 1t works a hard.
ship ON the poor. All property should
go on the tax books at its real value.
Any departure from this rule results in
injustice to the many.
1t does not follow as is frequently
argued that property thus listed would
pay more taxes. The levy could and
would be reduced in proportion, to the
increase in value and yet the great end
accomplished, of securing a just contri-
button from the rich and the poor.
The law requiring the city to take its
valuations from the county books works
a great hardship on the city. 1t in
variably delays us in getting out our tax
book, forces us in many instances to ac-
cept valuations outrageously low, and
owing to the fact the county appraisers
only go around every years, forces us
to miss the increased value as of

The JouRNAL-MNkR is in receipt of a lengthy communication, ac- companied by an equally leng' by address from the Chinese Equal Rights League of Chicago, asking for the repeal Of the Geary act passed by congress few years ago, This act not only serves to prevent immigration but acts as bar to Chinese becoming citizens. This address is headed First voice of the Americanized Chinese Of the United States" The great trouble with the Chinese is that a very small propor- tion of them become Americanlzed They. come to the United States bringing with them their manners and customs, mode of dress and living, and are just as much Chinese as they are in their native country Had this race years ago, adopted the plan of losing their oriental identity upon reaching American soil, by casting off the habits and customs of their native country aud adopting that of this country, they would find very much less prejudice agaiLst them today. The "Ameri canized Chinese" will find strong current of public opinion against them in their efforts to secure thu repeal of the Geary law.
