on to-day.
This is the section taxing bank stock
and it provides that the taxes imposed

State, shall be paid by the cashier of
such bank -. or 49,. association. di-
rcctly to the State Treasurer within
thirty days after the first day Of July
in each year. and upon failure to pay
HE State Treasurer as aforesaid, he shall
institute an action against the bank or
building and loan association to en-
force the same in the county of Wake,
or in the county in which the bank or
building and loan association is l0ca-
ted"
SO far, well and good, but the section
goes on further to provide that the
board of commissioners of the county in
which such banks or building and loan
associations are located shall assess
against the value of shares OF stock of
'esidcnts of that county the tax imposed
for school purposes alis those imposed
for county purposes, which shall also be
paid TO the treasurer of the State. and
the value of shares Of stock in national,
Stale and private banks and building
and loan associations hcid by non-rcsi-
dents shall not he deducted from the ag
yregatc value OF the shares thereof"
1t was objected by Mr.. Allen, of
Wayne: Carroll, of Alamance. and 9th
ars that this might change the situs of
he tax. For instance, that if Il man
lived in Goldsboro and owned bank
stock in Raleigh, the county of Wake
would get the tax and not the county Of
Wayne.
Mr.. Holman, Of Ircdcll, who. as
hartman of the Finance committee, was
n charge of the bill, did not think the
objection a valid one but he was willing
o accept any amendments that would
make the law clear on this point. lie
aid there was no intention on the part
f the committee TO change the situs Of
the tax. but that the State had been an
nualIy losing the tax on $3,000,0OO bank
stock and it was the purpose of the COM
mittee to get this on the tax books: and
o that end this section had been drawn.
Mr.. Willard offered the following
amendment TO the end of the section
Mr.. Holman accepted it: And the STATE
Treasurer shall credit to the sheriff in
his settlement the amount. paid to him
on account of taxes which are properly
due TO each county"
Then Mr.. Allen, of Wayne, proposed
he following further amendment which
vas adopted by the House: The own

Still this did not make the section
satisfactory and the section was pass I'd
over for consideration again to-day. 1t
will probably have to he entirely re-
drawn.
The only other section that provoked
discussion WAS that regarding TAXATION

deducting from the tax valuation OF each
share the amount of money that has
been borrowed on it.
To this Mr. Allen, of Wayne, OBJ
jected. He said it started ont on II
principle that the Legislature could not
maintain. If the revenues Of the State
would permit, he would BIZ glad TO pro-
vide for deductilg from the taxable
value of land and other property the
amount of any mortgage that might be
on it. But this could not now be done.
Judge Common was the author Of this
section, and as such he explained it fully
and pointed out the benefits to be deri-
we'd from such an exemption. These
organizations. die said, wer,. for the mos;
part composed of poor people upon whom
the tax would fall heavily; that the
local building and loan association is
not an investment company, and has no
capital stock other than the shares held
by its stockholders. 1t is not money
making corporation. but a sort of mus
tual benefit society in which each week
or month SO much is deposited by stock
holders under certain rules.
If these associations are not relieved
from this burdensome tax they must dis,
band. They are now taxed III per cent.
which makes the investment really
worth only Az per cent. Even under this
law the binding and loan associations

Mr.. Clarkson. of MecIIenburg. knew
something of these local associations and
fine work they are doing among the
poor class of people, and he favored the
proposed exemption.

poor man and not the rich-for it is

A WISH.
WRITTEN FOR THE SENTINEL.)

(WRITTEN FOR THE EENTlNEL.) Bury me not by the sounding sea, Where the pillows play so wild and
 free. Burv me not on the mountain hoary Where the snow king reigns in all his
 glory. Bury me not on desert lands, With the fierce simoom; the swlrllng
 sands. But there's vale where the cuckoo
 lightly calls, Ard the honeysuckle trails OCT mission
 walls. The tuneful skylark greets the rising
 day, Mingled ioyously with the mock-birds
 roundelay. There dwell the dark-eyed daughters
 of Spain; Ghosts of days are thsre which will
 never come again. Romance clings to every precions view, And the dreamy skies are forever blue. There in that vale would lie, Beside thelow-banked river running by.

A Great English Statesman's Secret.

The secret of celebrated English statesman's long life was his sys- tematic way of eating. Every bite of food was chewed thirty times before swallowing. The result was he na- turally enjoyed good health. Most men and women bolt their food, and eat thinks which were never intended to be eaten. They become costive, have a bad complexion, lose flesh, are irritable and nervous, and the first thing they know that are played out" It is gratifying to know that Hos letters Stomach Bitters cures stomach troubles. It is purely vegetable medicine that has stood the test of many years. It cures cases which seem to be hopeless. Sufferers from any disorder of stomach, liver or bowels should try 1t.
