These exceptions were not considered
Yesterday but will be taken up by the
Commission at it's meeting today.
Other roads filing exceptions to their
valuation were:
The Carolina and Northwestern, which
set forth that the proposed increase in
its valuation is q per cent over the as
sessment of the previous year; and that
this advance is not in proportion to the
advance in the earnings which is not over
10 per cent; and is in excess of the in
creased value of real estate along the
line of railway. The valuation was on
this showing reduced from SO, 500 to SO, 000
mile.
The Winton Railroad, being simply a
lumber road. was reduced in valuation
from 50, 500 to 1,500.
The Merchants Dispatch Transportation
Company (refrigerating cars) reduced
from $36, 600 to So, 459. The first valuation
was made out on returns containing an
error. Mr.. Arthur Mills, president of
the company came before the Commits
sion yesterday and was allowed to correct
his return.
The Drummond Canal Company claimed
that under it's charter it was entitled to
an entire exemption from all taxes. The
matter is now being investigated. Here
tofore it's property has been valued at
$4,000.
The Western Union Telegraph Company
in its exceptions filed Tuesday COM
planned of the method by which its valua-
tion had been arrived at, and further
excepted to it's valuation on the ground
that the same is now pending in the
courts, the restraining order issued there
in applying in point of fact and law to
the assessment of 1900. Under this re-
straining order the value of the company S
property for taxation is fixed at 100000
and it is contended that the Commission
cannot assess or collect from the company
at figure except that amount
AS above stated, the Western Unions
exceptions will not be considered for the
reason that the injunction sued out by it
was served before the exceptions could
be taken up for consideration.

ed Davidson and Jones, of Asheville,
and Garland Ferguson, of Waynesville,
and other proceedings will be insti-
tuted against these Indians. 1t is
probable that other parties concerned
in the conspiracy to intimidate the
registrar in Swain county will also be
arrested.

About this Injunction there is only one
remarkable thing, that is the manner in
which it was served on the Commits
sion.
As will be seen from the
date of the order, it was signed
last Friday, six days ago, but it was

Mr.. r. c. Strong, the Western Union S
attorney, appeared before the Commits
sion. filed exceptions to the valuation fixed
on it's property and asked a hearing on
Wednesday. His request was granted, but
before the Commission could meet yes
terday for the hearing the injunction
was served. That of course made it I'M
necessary to hear evidence or argument
from anybody, as Mr.. Strong was in
formed when he appeared with his speech
and affidavits.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-07-19

The railroad attorneys proceeded more
regularly. They appeared yesterday, at
the hour appointed and filed their excep-
tions, then left on the train for Flat Rock
to secure the injunctions necessary to
prevent the collection of the tax.
The Southern Railway was represented
at yesterdays hearing by Captain Chas.
Price; the Seaboard by Major John d.
Shaw and the Coast Line by Mr.. Robt. O..
Burton. All of them filed exceptions
which are substantially alike.
Each one for itself respectfully sug-
gests that the matter of the correctness
and legality of this assessment are the
same as are involved in certain suit in
equity in the Circuit court of the United
State for the Eastern district of North
Carolina now pending and it does not
think that it is called upon to go into
the matter anew at this time and re-
spectfully refer to the bills of complaint
in said suits and to the injunction orders
filed therein for its objections and excep-
tions.

as applied to the practical work Of the
nineteenth century. Christ did not form
social systems or organizations. he laid
down rules Of conduct. He was not
fond of meddling with matters Of public
polity. He gave an enigmatical answer
to the inquiry about paying tribute TO
Caesar. He did not seek to make good
mechanics or scribes or physicians or
fishermen. He wanted to make good
men. And the saying about the beam
and the mote seems peculiarly applica-
bic to the case Of Mr.. Sheldon.
There are more men today than there
ever were whose Utmost yearning is to
live life that might win the approval
Of the purest, gentlest, wisest, noblest
being whom earth ever saw. The wav
of imitation lies in character before ac-
ton. There are many who make Mr..
Sheldon's mistake and think that, if
they could only do something as
they think Christ would have done
IL, lndt Will make tnem resemble
him. The process is exactly the
reverse. When the mind OF Christ
is in men. when they have ac-
cepted his standards OF conduct. they

about the matter. 1t is the old confu-
sion between ito be" and ITO DO" that
caught Mr.. Sheldon in its tolls. He does
not understand that Nowhere perhaps is
there more earnest effort to find the
right and do II, nowhere a larger char
ity. more determined optimism, a
more eager desire TO help and better
humanity than in. the newspaper offices
of this country as a whole. We think
that his failure has done much to bring
It to the public thought, though IT has
not dignified the pulpit or reformed the
press.

our natural opportunities. to bring the
exterior appearance OF Seattle into
closer harmony with her splendid pros

the city authorities. we believe that II
will be prosecuted without tagging. As
far as 1t requires private initiative or
cooperation. we urge upon our people
the need OF interest and action.
There is no longer the excuse Of pow

day are such as TO justify a call upon
the property holder to do his share. We
want to see campaign for public i'm

country as II now is for enterprise and
growth. 1t can be done, but II Is no
slight undertaking. The way to accom-
plish 1t is to begin at once. With hearty
cooperation Of public and private forces
and by bringing public opinion to bear
upon the few who would hold back, the
outward appearance of Seattle can be
transformed. Let the good work go on.

A Home for Art.

MI. tcOIst thc AAeiiSs go
thor, who has written some very poor
novels and some very peppery and
amusing criticism of art and literature,
has recently finished play which he
decided to bring out in Dublin instead
of London, which Is the traditional era
die OF new plays. Mr.. Moore's reasons
for this unusual procedure he sets forth
with his customary vigor. He says that
art in England Is as dead as are the
Ptolemes in Egypt. Art has also left
italy, France. Germany and Russia.
There are traces OF 1t In Norway--not
very many. but still perceptible signs.
AS for Ireland, we gather that as nearly
everything. including her population.
has left unhappy Erin. 1t is a good time
for the disciples of art to enter and
colonize the country.
Art, according to Mr. Moore, belongs
to the youth Of a nation. as empire be-
longs TO its manhood. This is in direct
contradiction to the more usually ac-
cepted view that art is blossom which
comes into flower in the height of a
nations strength and blooms on far
effete and overcultivated centuries es-
peciaily adapted to its nourishment
Now IL Mr.. Moore is really sincere In
his contention that art will flourish, IL
at all. in new land II he is not merely
posing In order to attract more atten-
ton from the London critics than he
could do In London itself. why II is
obvious that what he needs to do is TO
turn his back upon Dublin and pro-
duce his next play in Seattle. Or per-
haps San Francisco would do. We will
not quarrel with him about the town Il
once he shows himself able to grasp the
essential idea that upon the Pacific
slope of this continent exist the con-
dtions so far as we know them, IA
vorable to the production Of works OF
art.
The thing that impresses the vis-
itor to warwickshire even today is that
the spot Is so rich, so bountlful and
beautiful, that Shakespears's genius was
kind OF inevitable product of the lux
urian, fertile land-its ultimate bios
som and human expression. The trav-
eler upon the Pacific coast feels. per-
haps without being able to assign def
mite grounds for the faith that Is In

ant, bountlful to the last degree, land
