TWENTY-FIVE YEARS TAXES.
Big Claim Brought Against Southern
Express COmpany.

Augusta, Aug. 1.--Richmond county.
through its Commissioner OF Roads and
Revenues Judge W. f. Eve. is after the
Southern Express Company for twenty
two years back taxes on the entire prop
erty of the company.
Several years ago the headquarters of
the Southern Express Company we're
moved from Augusta 10 Chattanooga.
Richmond county now c5ntends that this
removal has never been recorded in legal
form, that the headquarters of the com
rany are in reality located here. and that
the entire properly of the company is
subject TO taxation in Augusta.
The claim for tack taxes is made under
a recent decision OF the Supreme Court.
hcldi-g & corporations amenab.e to taxation
since the adoption OF the present state
constitution in 1877. Boykin Wright ana
c. Henry Cohen represent Richmond
county, and City Attorney w. II. Barrett
represents Augusta, which also joins in
the contention, and the attorney general
will represent the states Interests The
contention will he for taxes on not less
than 100000 for twenty-five years.

DEMOCRATS SEE VICTORY.
Their Majority Is Conservatively
Estimated at 10000.

Estimated at 10000.
Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 1.-To-night
brought to a close the greatest political
contest in the history of North Carolina
Tomorrow the election will be held.
AS to the result there is no doubt. The
majority for the constitutional amendment
and the state ticket will be not less than
10000. Conservative leaders of the Demo-
cratic party, with good show of reason,
are claiming that it will reach $1,000. The
state ticket and the amendment will run
very close together, the amendment prob
ably a little ahead.
The fusionists are practically abandon
Ing the state ticket, and are now max
ing the fight on the Legislature. They
are giving up everything else for that,
but the Democrats claim that they will
NOT succeed in carrying It.
OF the fifty members OF the Senate,
they say the fusionists cannot, under any
possible combination, get more than a
dozen.
OF the 120 members of the House, they
may possibly get forty, but the indications
are that they will not elect more than
eighteen or twenty. The fusionlsts are
making no claims either on the state
ticket or Legislature.
The troops called out yesterday after
noon. 10 send to smlthfield have been kept
under arms here all day, but there has
been no disorder anywhere, and a quiet
orderly election is predicted by the Dem

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 1.-Hon. f. NJ.
Simmons, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic Committee. said tonight:
1.-The great battle for white supremacy
in North Carolina has been fought, and
in less than twenty-four hours we shall
know the result.
1--WE are ready for the ballots. The in
dications are that we will poll the big
gest vote ever polled In the state. The
Aycock ticket will be elected and the
amendment will be adopted by the larg-
est majorkies ever given in this state
since the war, and we will have a large
majority in both branches OF the Legis-
lature.
There is no anImosity on the part OF
the Democrats toward the negro. We SIM
ply want him to know. and intend he
shall, know his place.
''If his miserable white allies, who seek
TO use him to ride into ONCE, would let
him alone. he and the white people would
get along well enough together. Our ma

DEFENSE OF THE LEGATIONS.
Some Brilliant Fighting Against the
Chinese in Pckin-A Truce De-
cIared on July 20.

Chicago, Aug. IA cable dispatch TO
the Daily News from Che Foo, July 81
via Shanghai, Aug. l, says:
DR.. Robert Coltman, Jr., the staff cor
respondent of the Chicago Record, in Pc
kin, who had not been heard from since
June Il, sends the following dispatch:
''Pekin, July 2l.-Baron Won Ketteler,
the German Minister, was murdered by
Chinese troops and his secretary wound
ed. June 90 while on his way to the
Tsung-h- amen. The foreign residents
are besieged in the British legation, and
have been under daily fire from artillery
and rifles.
THE cowardice of the Chinese fortu-
nately prevented them from making sue
cessfm rushes. Our losses are sixty
killed and seventy wounded. The Chi
nese losses exceed 1000.
There has been no word from the out
side world. Food is plentiful, such as It
is, rice and horse flesh Yesterday, uu-
der a flag of truce, a message was sent
by Yung Lu asking if Sir Claude Mac
Donald, the British Minister, would con-
sent TO a truce. The minister replied he
was willing, provided the Chinese came
no closer The shell firing then ceased
and everything is now quiet.
I'VE hope that having ueledteu tne Nnl-
nese, relief is nearing us. We are all ex-
hausted with constant standing on guard,
fighting building barricades and digging
trenches both night and day.
"All the legations except the British are
utterly wrecked by shot and shell. The
Austrian, Italian, Belgian and Holland
buildings are burned to the ground. The
British legation is also much shattered.
The United States marines sill hold vi
tai position on the city wall commanding
the legations.
after a brilliant sortie on the night
of July Capt. Myers succeeded in driv-
ing back the Kansuh mounted troops.
During the fight Capt. Myers was slightly
wounded Secretary Squires of the United
States legation deserves the greatest credit
for his services throughout the siege. His
military experience and energy are inval-
liable Many flags and rifles were cap
tured by Capt Myers.
I'VE fear that treachery is possible when
the defeated Chinese troops enter the city.
Meanwhile we are living in intense ankle
ty and hoping for early relief"
