ANTI-PASS LAW CONSTRUED.
Does Not Apply to Dentists Doing
Certain Charity Work.


Certain Charity Work.
The dentists of North Carolina, like
the physicians, do much charity prac-
tice.
One of the noblest examples of this
is at the orphan asyllims of the
State-caring for the teeth of the
children without charge.
Since the anti-pass law has been en-
forced, though, they have been cut off
from free transportation by the rail
roads and their efforts in this direc-
ton hindered.
In order, however. to have the mat
ter looked into and finally settled. the
State Dental Society at its recent
meeting here appointed committee
to get ruling on it from the Cor
poration Commission.
This ruling was yesterday given in
the following letter:
1.-THE Dental Society of North Caro-
lima:
Gentlemen: DR.. ID. T. SmithwicE
has presented to us the request of
your body for permission to the rail
roads of the State to furnish free
transportation to dentists visiting the
various orphanages of the State to
perform such operations as may be

necessary for the inmates of such
institutions free of charge upon re-
quest of the manager OF any orphan
age of the State and we will say in
reply that we are of the opinion that
the railroads of the State are author

us and danger of being subjected to
any penalty. If our permission were
necessary or proper we would be
pleased to give it.
Respectfully yours.

THE GUN IN THE MUSEUM.
The Trophy From the Raleigh Loaned
to the Museum.

The committee having in charge the
gun presented by the cruiser Raleigh.
held meeting yesterday afternoon and
decided to place it in the State Museum.
1t is not to be given to the Museum,
but is only loaned and may be removed
whenever the city desires to do SO. The
Museum was chosen for the reason that
the trophy can be better cared for there
than anywhere else at present.
1t seems to be necessary for the gun
to be closely guarded. At New York,
even on board the Raleigh several screws
and bolts were taken from it by souvenir
hunters; and at Wilmington, on board
the Compton, the sight was stolen from
the gun.
1t is to guard against such as this in
future that influenced the committee in
choosing the State Museum as the
proper place to keep the gun.

IMPORTANT OPINION.
Banks Cannot Stamp Unstamped Checks
Says, Mr.. Wilson.

The following opinion recently sent by
Hon. g. w. Wilson, United Staies
Commissioner Of Internal Rycnue, i
of great interest TO banks and ta,'ir
customers.
You are advised that banks must not
affix stamps TO unstamped checks pre-
sented and must return 20 The drawer
any unstamped check presented for
payment.
You are directed to notify ire banks
that are guilty Of the practice herein
described that if it is not ;mms lately
discontinued they will be reported 10
the United States District Attorney
for prosecution.
The instructions in decision NJ. l960G
to the effect that there wiis no objection
to the affixing by the bank Of 4 stamp
omitted have been withdrawn.
Under this ruling the banks are com
PEELED to return all uns.anpai checks.
1t will be necessary, therefore, FIR the
drawers to be very careful to stamp
their checks before issuing them, as
failure to do so subjects them to the
heavy penalty imposed.

lst. That while by her death our circle
has sustained loss which cannot be
filled, yet by her life it has received a
heritage which calls to cheerfulness, to
fortitude. to charity and to God.
Ind. That since the works of men live
after them. to rs she is not dead, hut
while the Ministering Circle exists. she
will be to it an inspiration to the higher
life.
Bird. That the grief of her leaving us
is intensified to the circle, because OF
fifteen, Sc is the third to so within
three years.
Our birth is a sleep and Il forgetting
The SOUL that rises with us, our life's
star,
Hath mad elsewhere its setting
And cometh from affair."

NEEDN'T PAY TAXES AT ALL.
The Commission Refuses to Certify the
Simonton Valuations.

The Commission Refuses to Certify TIE
Simonton Valuations.
1t now looks as if the Western Uninn
Telegraph Company will escape taxation
altogether, certainly for several months
to come. The Corporation declines to
certify down to the Auditor the 5000
600 valuation fixed by Simonton, so there
is absolutely no machinery by which Tho
various towns and counties through
which its lines run can levy and collect
the tax.
The commission likewise will not GER
tify down the valuation of the enjolnrd
railroads. Only a memorandum of the
Simonton valuation has been furnished
the Auditor But with these-the rail
roads-the case is quite different. As
Simonton made the valuation exactly
what it was last year the counties and
towns can refer back and collect their
taxes by that.
In the case of the Western Union no
such machinery exists, as Simontc.l. in
his solicitude for this weak and strug-
Cling enterprise, cut down its valuation
S150,000 lower than it has been here
tofore.

BUILDING IN RALEIGH.
a Change in the Building Laws of the
City Badly Needed.

According to the building permits
granted by the chief of police during the
months of June and July, the following
new buildings have been commenced in
Ralelgh during the past two months:
One story frame house, $400, North
saunders street, Stan Hinnant, owner
and contractor.

Saunders Street, j. G.. Adams, owner and

corner Morgan and Blount streets, IL
a. Bland, owner and contractor.

and Duke and Maroon, contractors
Two story frame house, $500, South

street Thomas Allen owner, and Fuller

Seven room frame house, 81 600, NORTH
Wilmington street, Will @Bishop owner
and Register and Moser contractors.
The above however by no means rep
resents all the building that has beer
commenced during these two months
There are many new houses now il
course of erection or just completed IL
this city, for which no building permit
has ever been obtained. And again, i
rarely happens, as may be seen from the
above, that the real value of pro
posed building or Improvement is givel
when the permit is taken out.
These are two very serious defects il
the present building ordinance, and de
fects that ought to be remedied. The
ordinance ought to put the business Of
granting building permits in the hands
of the city clerk, instead of the CHIEF
of police, and he should be required t
strictly enforce it, \ fine should BE-
fixed for every days work on the build
ing with out permit. And before
permit is granted the owner of the prop
erty ought to he required to file cert
fled copy of the contract or to make
statement under oath of the value of tbs
proposed building or Improvement,
