\ CARD FROM RAILROAD COM
MISSIONER JOHN III. PEARSON.
TO Whom it May Concern:


Public speakers have been stating
without contradiction that the Ralroa q
Commissioners as now constituted. have
increased the taxable valuation Of
horses. mules, sheep, cattle hogs and
bicycles. This statement is untrue. The
commission, composed of Messrs. j. w.
Wilson, President, S. Ohio Wilson and
ID. III. Abbott, about June 1897. as the
records will show. unanimously agreed
TO increase the valuation of horses.
mules, cattle, hogs and sheep, and so or
dered.
Finding that this had already been
done, | proposed at the meeting of the
Commissioners in July, $685. to increase
the tax on bicycles so as to bring them
up in all counties where the assessment
was below the average. DIR. Abbott
suggested that inasmuch as the yalua-
ton of railroads and telegraph lines hal
been increased five million dollars by
MS, corresponding increase ought
to he made in the valuation Of land
This proposition was opposed by me
on the ground that it was not just. and
for the further reason that the charge
could not be properly made, unless the
Commissioners could visit every county
and confer with the local assessors.
President Caldwell expressed his con
currence in my views. and. for that rea-
son DIR. Abbotts proposition was not
submitted in the shape of & motion.

A DEMOCRAT NOW.
Has No Bull Calf. and is For White
Supremacy Always

Editor Asheville Citizen: Two year,
ago the Republicans told us that it
they were elected they would restore
prosperity to us again, that times would
get better and money plentiful
Now, | am thoroughly satisfied their
promises were made only TO be broken
The administration has been a failure
from the State capital down to school
comitteemen. Their legislation has been
in the interest of professionals and CAPT
tai, and not in the interest of the laboring
class
They now claim they are responsible
only for bull calves, and that the Lord
only is responsible for the price of wheat
and other farm products.
Now | want to say, | have always
voted the Republican ticket, but being
convinced the Democratic party is the
better friend to the laboring class and it
is for white supremacy | snail hereafter
vote the Democratic ticket straight.
