In this connection it may be we'll
to state that a test case was recently
tried in Charlotte. w. w. Hall swore
out warrant against j. 5. Landle
charging him with selling wood with
out Il license, contrary to section 81,
of the Revenue Act. The case was
tried before the Mayor who decided
that the law did not apply to farmers
who cut their own wood and sell it..
A great deal has been said about
this matter in the attempt to make
political capital when as matter of
fact there was no foundation for it

ferred to ME for reply. In your let
ter YOU ask Can a farmer buy
satnding timber, cut and haul the
same to market without paying wood
dealers license tax; also can a tenant
buy timber of his landlord and sell
without license?" To both of the
questions will say he can. without
he sells more than one hundred cords
of wood per annum, as provided in
section SO. Revenue Act AS to your
next question, Can a land owner APP
point an agent to sell his Gland
owner's) wood without paying the
tax" will say that if the land owner
establish a wood yard and employ
an agent to attend to selling wood he
will be liable to license tax as a wood
dealer. do not think the letter or
the spirit Of the law contemplates
taxing farmer or his tenant for
selling wood from his farm in small
quantities.

about the committees" action in
regard to certain sundries and appur-
tenances of a job printing establish

bodied in circular letter sent out by

Certainly lack of time in which to
decide the matter cannot be pleaded.

give color to a faint suspicion that it
was a skin game" pure and simple

number of newspaper men who were
perfectly willing to do what they did

but they do resent having been .ilim-
damned as they were.

The Greensboro correspondent of
the Charlotte Obscrrcr says that the
appreciation OF the State Normal
and Industrial College by North
Carolinians generally is shown by the
fact that this year twenty graduates
have been given positions in graded
schools, three being considered most
desirable by women teachers This
is the list: One at Wavnesvillc: ; at
Asheville; ! at Charlotte; | at Sails
bury; 3 ut High Point; at Winston;

Apart from these, women who have
attended the Normal have positions

that out of all the students that have
been graduated ut this college in its
seven years of life only six have
failed to teach school.

few minutes late, as she hurried from

was turned. She had not seen him, and
