sorts of jewelled clasps to fasten ends

combinations that supplies all the nov

much the same as those of last season.
The sleeves mark the line of difference
quite as much as anything, perhaps,
as they must flare q little below the
elbow, where the rather closely fitting
undersleeve is the finish.
The latest sleeve model is quite close
and plain for the entire length, except
at the elbow. where there is a full puff.
Whether this will find favor or not is
not settled question, but just at pres

have the bell sleeves little more far

undersleeve is very often of velvet with
a gold decorated waist band

were to be shorter have not been veri-
fed as yet. Possibly the tailor gowns
for street wear are of a more sensible
length, just touching the ground, but

declares Mcdonald fired the fatal shot.
Charles McMullen, sometimes going under
the name of William McGnnis, also is re-

The trouble between Mcdonald and
Kennedy grew out of the former winning

Willingly Sell al the Value Assessed
For Taxliion.
Especial to News and Observer

Wilmington, N. c.. Dec. 2S-The ex-
animation of witnesses for the State was
x1sumed this morning at $3.50 o'clock,
with Messrs. Price and Rountree for the
railroads and Messrs. Hinsdale and Con-
nor for the defense.
The following witnesses were ex-
amined; Isaiah Carroll. c. +. Jordan. j.
E. Durham. G. b. Lee. Gibson James. j.
e. Henry, j. A. King, w. II. Lucas, c. c.
Woodcock, A. G. Ward, #. p. Flynn, A. r.

Board of County Commissioners; i. F.
Sudbury, A. T. Herring. commissioner; w.
w. Alderman. sheriff; T. j. Armstrong.
ex-senator; Gibson James, ex-Represen-
tatiye
All of these witnesses testified that the
real and personal property in Pender
county was assessed at it's fair cash cost
value. namely, what 1t would bring at a
fair voluntary sale for cash that there
was no understanding or agreement or
purpose or practice or custom of assessing
property in Pender county at less than
true value end never had been: that
wherever property had been under or
over assessed it was through mistake OF
judgment ana not intentional; that until
the railroad Injunction suits were in
stituted they never had heard of any
such things.
Upon cross examination many of the
witnesses mentioned some few instances
where property had been under assessed,
and also where it had been over assessed.
The examination did not shake the
testimony of a single one of these wit
nesses. Chairman X. p. Powers and
members T. p Sudbury and A. r. Herring
CT the Board Of Commissioners, testified
to substantially the same thing as did
ex-senator 7. J. Armstrong and ex-Rep-
resentative Gibson James. A number of
the witnesses among them owning large
properties, said they would willingly sell
at assessment for taxation.
j. IT, Bland testified that he was pres
ent at a meeting Of the Board of Commits
sioners and The county assessors just be-
fore they entered upon the discharge OF
their duties in June. 1899. and that he
instructed them that it was their duty
to assess real and personal property at
its full cash value, and that this has been
the practice in the court ever since he
could recoliect. Mr.. Bland was the at
torney of the Board of County Commits
sioners and has been assisting the Cor
poration Commission in Pender county

the negro slave was the real emancipation

But the development of the South is

We are winning our way by cheap pro-

work; but the day may come when cheap

the field. Cheap labor is abundant in
South America and in Asia is practically
unlimited in supply. Our safety is in bet
ter labor and in better products.
"The labor unit of the South is still the

''The wasteful expenditure of money for
