Now it is said that the town is about to
have big American hotel to be built
somewhere on the hills that overlook the
sea. The New York capitalists who
wish to invest million and half in a
Cuban hotel sent their agent to select the
site in Habana; and he, after looking the
ground over, decided it was best to locate
the hotel in Marianoa. The same Ameri
can capitalists are going to construct the
electric railway from Habana to the

The pier which the U. S. has lately built

Menocal is under forty years of age,

lation would be fair alike to railroads
and people. Amongst the hundreds OF
tom fool notions which have gained
prevalency under Fusion misrule, none
is more pregnant of evil to our State
than that OF railroads are the enemies
of the people.
The wisest State is that which offers
most inducements to railroad building
to investment of capital in all business.
With Maj. Wilson on the commission
all the railroads would feel sure of equit-
able treatment. But how about the
people? A bare suggestion from any
source, that Maj. Wilson could do any
thing he thought wrong or hurtful to the
masses of North Carolina, would insult
those of us who have known so long
his utter purity, courage and 1ncompro-
missing integrity This State has no
nobler, better man.
Gentlemen of the Legislature, l leave

wrongs of Fusion incompetence and bit
ter partisanry, common justice and fair
play demand that this nOblest Roman
of the Democratic party should be re-
stored TO the office which he so signally
honored. and from which he was oust-
ed because he loved justice better than
position because he would not wear the
collar of one dressed in little brief

MAI. j. w. WILSON FOR Rail.
ROAD COMMISSIONER.

To the Editor: | have all along been
convinced that whatever be the outcome
of the Russell-Wilson case. Maj. Will
son ought to be placed on the new com
mission, candidly think that a failure
to right this wrong to one of the purest
and best men III our State, would re-
dound to the hurt of the Democratic
party and of the entire people.
/ fully concur in the opinion of a
large number of North Carolinians that
no other man in the State is SO singu-
larry and fully equipped for the duties OF
this office.
Manifestly that was the opinion Of the
Democratic Legislature which elected
him without. | believe, a dissenting vote.
Highly as the people of Western North
Carolina regard Mai. Wilson. they do
not seem to realize the enormousness of
the debt they owe him for the con
struction OF the Western North Caro-
lima Railroad.
Many of our people yet remember
when Mr.. Wilson i'll the strength of his
young manhood. shared the common
privations of his men, sleeping on the
ground, as he afterwards did on the field
of battle, while pushing this line through
our part of the State.

that would reflect upon the official or

WANTS NO TAX COMMISSION.
The House Can't Get Over the Board
of Equalization.


Of Equalization.
During the afternoon session there
were only two debates of any kind.
The first one was over Mr.. James DIIli
to fix a uniform and standard measure
for timber The other was over Mr..
Thompson's bill to establish a Tax Com
mission.
Mr.. James did most of the talking on
his timber bill. He explained that the
lumber business was one of the principal
industries of this State. and he thought
the owners of the timber ought TO have
some protection. He thought this bill
gave it. Two years ago he had had
such law passed for his own and some
other counties, and the results had been
most satisfactory 1t was for this rea-
son. he said. that he was now asking its
extension to the whole State.
But the whole State declined Mr..
James gift, and when he insisted they
pelted him with amendments until it
must have been a positive relief to him
to see his bill pass to its long home on
the table.
The other bill debated soon joined it
there.
1T was strongly supported Dy MT.
Thompson of Onslow, its author, but it
looked too much like a Board of Equal
zation to get through.
Mr. Boushall, of Wake, was the only
man bold enough to walk up and take it
boldly by the hand and bid it welcome.
He had something to say about the
poor man paying all the. taxes and the
rich man paying none at all, or words
to that effect.
The other members only glanced timid-
~ over their shoulders at it and scamp
cred off TO the. woods Of the negative,
