board of county commissioners, said rea
estate in his township (Wake Forest
was assessed at a fair cash value. and
that there was no rule that he had ever
heard Of to undervalue it.
Capt. Price cross examined him. but got
cold comfort from the performance.
First he took up the affidavit signed by
Mr.. Brewer and asked why he signed it
Il just signed that affidavit because
believed it was true
Wasn't it because you wanted tC
stand to the Corporation Commission"
ut was because l wanted to stand to
truth and right. If the Commission
right then l want to stand to it, other
wise not"

tion in Wake?"
Eyes"
"Ah, you do! What is the difference
between tax value and real valued"
TAX value and real value ought to be
the same
docs not land in Wake sell for more
than tax value?''
Sometimes it does and sometimes ii
doesn't"
Later Mr.. Brewer said he thought as
rule land sold for more than tax
valuation at voluntary sales and for less
at forced sales. Voluntary sales, he said
were mostly on time and it was of these
that he was speaking.
DEFINITION OF CASH VALUE.
Mr.. ]. j. Dunn. of Neuse: Mr.. f. L.
Bartholomew, of st. Matthews; Mr.. J. A.
Norris, of Apex, and Mr.. r. c. Patrick, OF
Buckhorn, all made strong witnesses for
the State. They were all--except Mr..
Norris-assessors in 1899, and their evil
dence did not differ in any material re-
spect from that of the four preceding wit
nesses, but served to corrobOrate and
strengthen their testimony.
Mr.. Dunn's observation was that all
classes of property in his township, both
real and personal. were taxed at full
value. Sometimes land was sold for
more than the tax value and sometimes
for less. but almost invariably the sale
was on time and not for cash.
Mr.. Bartholomew testified that in his
section land sales on time were higher
than those made for cash. but even some
of these were below the tax valuation.
Mr.. Norris defined the cash value of a
piece of property what 1T would bring if
put uD and sold for cash at voluntary
sale, not <orced sale. Land in his sec
ton, he said, had declined in value dur
ing the last few years from $40 to 81
an acre to So to IS. He named some re-
cent instances IN which sales had been
made at tax valuation and below.
Mr.. Patrick didn't consider cash value
the price that property would bring at
forced sale. but what it would bring at
voluntary cash sale, and as assessor he
had tried to follow this, and no other
rule. He could remember only three cash
sales OF land in his section in the past
five years, and these, he believed, were
below the tax valuation.
The court adjourned at $50 o'clock to
meet again this morning at $3.50.

ing what we were reasonably
expecting, but then half loaf

than none at all.
The west end of the freight
house has been torn out and
twenty feet of space is being
added to it so as to give room
at the east end of it next to the
Agents Office for ladies wait
ing room. That will place the
office between the two waiting
rooms.
Ticket windows are cut
through from each waiting
room to the Agents Office and
all of the interior of Office
changed so one would scarcely
recognize it.
Taken as a whole the interior
will be vastly improved es,

But what of the exterior?
Well we will be "Kerfla bergast.

of twenty J feet to the long, low
