And the Question of Rate Reduction

lantic Coast Line railway, yesterday filed
with Clerk Brown Of the Railroad Com
mission notice Of appeal from the order
Of the Commission reducing passenger

will enable the road to charge the old
fares. by giving suitable bond. until the

carried to the higher courts by appeal
the end is somewhat remote.

NO TAN ON RENT RECEIPTS.
Unless You Include Some Clause That
is n Contract for Hire.

Raleigh has not few men who rent
out many small houses and obtain q
good return theretrom. Raleigh has
very many residents who pay rent
Lately both parties have ben anxious
The owners of the houses fearing they
would have to pay tax on every rent
receipt and the renters fearing that tn,
landlords would raise the rent TO an
amount to cover the tax.
The matter seems to have been set
tied so that neither party will have to
nay, if the receipts are properly wordcd
In many eases, the renters pay Sl.0O ol
$1.25 per week rent and pay it every
Saturday night. If Il tax Of - cents
had to be attached to every rent re-
cept, it would send up the rent % per
cent right away.
The Commissioner Of Internal Rev
cnue addressed letter a few days ago
to Collector Treat, of New York, con
corning the tax upon receipts for rent
which throws additional light upon the
subject. His letter is us follows:
This office is in receipt of Il letter
from Adolph Bloch. 80 Nassau street
New York, under date of August 3, 1898
submitting Il form of receipts as fol
lows:
"'New York. August l, 1898.

gust. 1898.

''Mr. Bloch asks the opinion of this
office as to its taXability. You will in
form him that this office holds that the
receipt is taxable rs Il memorandum of
the hire, use or rent of lands. Il ten
cmcnt or a portion thereof. The tax
imposed is - cents.
",Thcre seems to be Il large number
of inquiries relating to different forms
Of rent receipts in your city. The office
holds that where a receipt is given for
money received as rent, and there arc
no other recitals in the receipt, it does
not require Il stamp.
IF Il receipt contains any phrase or
clause that can he construed as a con
tract for the hire, use or rent as afore-
said, then in such case the receipt he
comes something more than Il bare re-
ceipt, and should be stamped accord
ing to its tenor or effect"

WHO WILL CROWN HIM?

His redeemed people shall crown Him.
The Car of Russia places his own crown
upon his brow, but Jesus will receive
His choicest crown from the hands
of His Bride-the church. O! what re,
joicings when His people shall behold
Him in majesty and glory.
Humanity viii crown Him her Lord.
There never yet has been one person
ruler over all nations and people. Many
a great warrior has sought this honor,
but the sceptre was broken ere he
grasped it. But the time is coming when
China. Japan. India, Africa. Europe and
America shall see and acknowledge
Jesus King.
YEA creation shall crown Him her
Lord All planets. all suns. all systems,
sea and land; Heaven and earth shall
share in His coronation.
Science shall bring her garland unto
Him. Literature shall declare the great
ness of His reign. Music in her sweet
est strains shall praise Him. History
shall declare Him the king of ages.
Truth and Righteousness. Providence,
Grace and Glory shall all join in the
wonderful coronation when He who was
despised and rejected of men and upon
whose brow His enemies once placed a
crown of piercing thorns shall be ac-
knowledged King of Kings. God over
all blessed forever more: whose right
it is to reign. Before Him every knee
shall bow
You go to Arlington Heights and see
the names Of many Il great general
spelled out in beautiful flowers: SO all
created intelligence shall yet spell Jesus.
LET US GROWN HIM NOW.
Need we wait until the great Corona
ton before we crown Jesus? | think not.
1T is permitted us to crown Him with
our worship. AS the wise men came of
old so let us come. bringing our gifts and
Him by faithful service. "Ye serve tho
Lord Christ" We should crown Him
with our hearts trucst Love. "Whom
having not seen we love" Weave Loves
sweetest chaplet and place 1t upon Ills
brow. If so you vii crown Him with
heartiest praise. Now unto Him who
hath loved us be dominion and power
and glory for ever and ever, Amen.

feeling.
During the height OF the excitement the

apologies.
Oniy forty minutes were given for de-
bate and q special rule was required 10
