ESPECIAL to the News and Observe

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Maxton. N. c., July 29-The county
Democratic ticket has been making u
strong and effective canvass. Owing to
the illness Of Mr.. G.. B. Patterson. che
of the nominees for the House, a large
portion of the speaking has, devolved
upon Mr. S. Mcintyre, our next State
Senator. Mr.. Mcintyre predicts that
Robson will give at least 1000 majority
for the amendment In Maxton town
ship the registration closed with only
six negroes registered. All told there will
not be twenty-five votes cast against
the amendment in Maxton township.
The severe drought has greatly in
jured the crops IN this section. The
corn crop is almost ruined and cotton
is cut short. The cantelope and VA
termelon industry has been considerable
dur:rg the last three weeks. From
fifteen to twenty cars of melons have
been shipped daily, and two or three of
canteloupes, but the drought is cutting
the crop short. There are nearly seven
hundred acres planted and the returns
thus far have been excellent. Messrs.
A. j. McKennon, w. j. Matthews and C.
Fl. Walters are the principal cultiva-
tors.
Mr.. G. B. Patterson whose illness was
noted above is improving, but will not
be able to be in the county canvass. He
has bilious fever.
Miss Ina Kinsey, of Wilson is visiting
Miss Connie McCaskill
Miss Annie Sparrow of Gastonia, is
the guest of Miss Bessie Mclean.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Cooke and family are
the guests of the McRae House. Mr..
Cooke is experimenting the canteloupe
shipments from here for the Swift Re-
frigerator Company.
The Bank of MaXton will soon be open
for business. The building is almost COM
pleted. 1t will have the finest vault be-
tween Wilmington and Charlotte. Mr..
w. ]. Edwards is president. Mr.. Gilbert
b. Patterson has recently been elected
vice president. The cashier has net yet

COUNTIES, TOWNS, AND SCHOOLS
LOSE.

Simonton's first temporary injunc-
paying taxes was made over year
ago, and has not yet hardly been
started At the present rate of prog
ress, the case would be decided III
about a quarter of a century. Dur
ing all these years Simonton would
be giving the Southern Railway
enough of the peoples money to en-
able it to pay the expenses of print
ing the Morning Post, the Southern
Railways organ. If the Southern
Railway wants an organ, let Pierpont
IMorgan and Aleck Andrews pay for 1t,
: and not impose it as a burden upon
the tax payers!
We have shown that Simonton gave
the Southern Railway $4,000 a year.
The various counties through which
that road runs lose large amounts by
reason of the Simonton injunction.
We have not the rate Of taxation in
all the counties before lis and cannot
therefore show today the exact
amount Simonton keeps out of the
several county treasures, but the fol-
lowing table, showing the Corpora
ton Commission assessment and the
Simonton assessment will show how
large a proportion of the Southern's
property wholly escapes taXarion:

THEY HAVE GOT THE MONEY

Never before have the Fusionists
circulated so much campaign litera-
ture as in the last month. They have
literally ''sowed it down." This costs
money.
Never before have they hired sc
many peripetatic political takers to
GO quietly through the country, os-
tensibly selling books or fruit trees
but really paid to talk against the
amendment. Ibis costs money.
Never before have, they had more
legal talent EMPLOYED to help them
find some way to gain some party adj
vantage. This costs money.
The Radicals furnish the money for
Buffers as well as Holton's campaign.
They have put their faith IN cash.
They still hope to use it to carry the
Legislatures Let White Men every
where watch their emissaries who 90
about to buy the election which they
have already lost in the forum of
reason and argument.

RECIPE FOR ICE MAKING.

Any housewife, by following the new
recipe just discovered will be able to
make ice easily. This new ice is cheap
and quickly prepared, being composed
of a kind of ammonia salt. With it ice
cream may be frozen in a few minutes.
So many wonderful improvements are
being discovered that it brings int
prominence any institution that remains
unchanged. Such an example is Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the well-known
remedy for weak stomachs. Fifty years
has seen no change in it. While many
limitations have risen and fallen, this
excellent medicine has remained UNI
changed-and as a cure for indigestion,
constipation, dyspepsia and biliousness,
See that our Private Revenue Stamp
covers covers the neck of the bottle.

1t Will be observed that IN wake IT
is $122,000; in Guilford more than
100000; in Mecllenburg about $780,
900, and large amounts in other coun-
ties. Suppose private individual had
obtained release from just assessment
of so much property, how long would
the other tax payers submit to it?
The Post Says that the matter of
determining whether the assessment
of railroad property by the Corpora
ton Commission is right is left to eX-
Chief Justice Shepherd. This is not
true. He has been appointed Master
to take. testimony and send it to Sim
onton, but the order does not give him
any power whatever, even to make rec
cmendation. He has no judicial func-
ton whatever except to preside and
to obey Judge Simonton's orders.
The Post cannot hide it's subserviency
Shepherd by misrepresenting Judge
Shepherds power, He has no power
whatever, and Simonton takes particu
lar care that he shall have none. II
Simonton will issue an order leaving
the matter to Judge Shepherd to hear
and determine, the State of North
Carolina will have fair judge. But
as for Simonton-the Southern Rail-
way reDoses full confidence that he
will help them in tax-dodging, anil
the people do not expect fair hear
ing.

MRS. JOE PERSONS
r.. WI E.DY.
Without An Equal,

I consider Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy
is without an equal. Ten years ago it
cured me of cancer on my face, pro-
nounced so by three physicians, also of
rheumatism, and every spring previous
to that l was covered with boils that
would last for months. Since that time
have never had the appearance of one.
So many have been to me for informa-
tion that l have concluded to write you
second time, acknowledging my graft
tude to you and Almighty God for MAX
ing you the instrument in His hands of
doing so much, and let the public know
of my wonderful cure.
Your Remedy and Wash do all they
claim to do and even more. Should they
ever return, I would feel safe of recov-
cry with your medicine and Gods help.
/ have seen numbers of cases cured right
here at home with your Remedy, and all
are ready to bless you and say there is
none SO worthy of universal patronage as
this noble woman and her valuable med
ieine Only give it trial. 1t will speak
for itself. l am still using all my influ-
ence for you.
Respectfully yours,
