MAKE THEM TESTIFY.

The Corporation Commission ought.
before prosecuting their suit further,
to demand to put the railroad men on
the stand and let them swear to the
value of their property. 1t will be
found that, while some other proper
ty in the State is valued at less than
its true value, the railroad property
is underyalued more than any other
sort of property in the State. The
railroad officials do not wish to go on
the stand. They will not swear to the
value of their property if they can
avoid it and they are confident that
Simonton will protect them from Civ
ing evidence that would destroy their
whole cases. While Simonton will pro-
baby issue an order eXempting them
from giving testimony, the test ought
to be made. Let it be known for GER
tain before the Legislature meets
whether Simonton and the railroads
are determined to force testimony as
to the true and the tax value of all
other species of property and then
deny testimony as to the true value of
the railroads
Make them testify! Let us have a
look at the books Let us see how
much is the value of the bonds and
the stocks of the railroads, and if af-
ter they make full disclosure of all
the facts relating to the value of the
road and its stocks, dividends, &C., it is
apparent that their property is listed
at anything like its value, this paper
will lead the fight for reduction of
the assessment. Isn't that fair?

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

The Atlanta Journal directs atten-
ton to the fact that there are two
rich taxpayers in Greenwich, n. y,
whose conduct points moral:
1T appears that Robert Bruce, pos
SCISSOR of many millions, possesses
also a well regulated conscience and
has requested the Greenwich tax as
SCISSORS to double their valuation OF
his property. Mr.. Bruce's neighbor
r. c. Benedict (Cleveland's friend), is
cast in a different mould. He swears
that his $4,000 yacht is worth but
$1,000: that his blooded horses are
only 800 plugs and his imported cows
not worth the price of butchers meat,
and that his $150,000 stock of furni-
ture, books and works of art does not
exist"
1t is unfortunately true that there
are too many Benedicts and too few
Bruces in this country when the time
comes for giving in property for taxa
ton. The man who by false assess
ment fail to poy his proportionate
amount of the burden of government
is being permitted by law to injure
his honest neighbor. The tax-asses-
sors ought to inOculate Benedict with
some of the Bruce virus.

due chiefly to cotton manufacturing,
of from 1859 to 1910; Charlotte, which
grows from 1857 to 1901, due large
ly to both immigration and manufac-
turing.
Asheville is the only trans-montane
town that has population as large
as 1000. 1t has come to- be the third
city in the State in population, in
creasing from 1925 in 1890, to 1864
in 1900. 1t has attracted immigrants
from other sections who have helped
the progressive business men of Ashe-
vile to give it a mighty impetus dur
ing the last ten years.
The census figures do not show that
the tendency is toward building up
any great city in the State. Charlotte
has the start and made great gains,
but the increase in the towns near
Charlotte shows that it is not draw
ing much from its neighboring towns.
Concord, Salisbury, Gastonia, Kings
Mountain, Monroe, Statesville-near
neighbors of Charlotte-show marked
growth, evidencing the fact that
North Carolina is destined for very
many years to be a State of many
fiourishing and growing towns, but
no great city. Wilmington, with it's
20,976 people, needs a new impulse to
become a big city, and the rapid
growth of nearby towns will retard
Charlotte's growth to large city pro-
portions. If the city limits of Raleigh
embraced as much territory as Char
lotte or Asheville, the population of
Raleigh would not be less than 1900
or $4,000. The policy Of holding on
to the old city limits created in 1856
puts Raleigh really fifth in population,
whereas it is really third and would
give Charlotte a close call for second
place. The order now stands of the
larger towns and cities in the State
thus:
Wilmington, Charlotte, Asheville,
Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Greensboro,
New Bern, Concord, Durham, Eliza
beth City, Salisbury, Goldsboro, Wash
ington, Fayetteville, Gastonia, High
Point, Kinston, Wilson, Henderson,
Burlington, Reidsville, Statesville,
Edenton, Rocky Mount, Mt. Airy,
Greenville, Hickory, Tarboro, Monroe,
Beaufort, Randleman, Kings Noun
tain, Graham-in all thirty-three
towns with a population exceeding p
600. Counting all towns East of
Greensboro as Eastern towns, nine
teen of the largest towns are in the
Eastern part of the State and IA in
the Western section.

CONSOLIDATION UNLAWFUL.

Whateer else may be the outcome of
the negotiations between the Seaboard
and the Southern it will not be a con-
solidation of the two railroad systems.
Section Article TX. of the constitution
of South Carolina settles that. so far as
this State is concerned. The section
reads: mo railroad or other transporta-
ton company, and no telegraphic or other
transmitting corporation, or the lessees.
purchasers or managers of any such cor
poration, shall consolidate the stock
property or franchise of such corporation
with, or lease or purchase the works or
franchises Of or any way control. any
other railroad or other transportion com
pany. Geographic or other transmitting
corporation owning or having under it's
control any parallel or competing lines
and the question whether railroads or
other transportation companies, or tele-
graphic or other transmitting companies
are parallel or competing lines shall
when demanded by the party complain
ant, be decided by jury as any other
civil cause" Even the requirement by
the Southern or its stock holders of a
controlling interest in the Seaboard
would be obnoxious to the provisions OF
this section. AS for an agreement to
maintain rates, that is possible and pro-
bable enough. Such agreements have
been made beforehand broken. Stability
of rates is, on the whole, desirable. and
the rates themselves are subject to regu-
ton by the State Railroad Commission
ers and the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
