cry of John A. Oldham, Jr., who lies in

The authorities have not yet ascer-

THE KALI 0AD TAX CASE
witnesses Columbus, Bruins
wick ard New Hanover Counties
Gave In Ts2timony Yesterday Before
Judge 50 epherd.

The examination OF witnesses in the
railr" Sad tax case was resumed yester-
day at $50 a.. IN in the United States
Court room before Judge Shepherd, and
was conducted by Colonel j. w. Hins-
Rountree, Shaw and Busbee for the
railroads.
r. B. Davis, port warden of South
port, was the first witness. He testi-
fed to his knowledge of the true val
uation or generalization OF a large
number of lots in Southport.
The following assessors from Column
bus county were examined: Minus
Mesres. A. A. Williams. T. E. Barden,
]. A. Brown, 8. w. Owen. M. W. Prid-
gen, Snowden Singletary. and Charles
Gore They generally testified that
real and persona property in their
county had bee assessed at its true
cash value-that is at what it would
bring in none at a voluntary sale;
that there was an entire absence Of any
rule or custom to the contrary.
J. T. Kerr, one of the assessors for
New Hanover county. former member
of the general assembly Of North Car
DINA, testified that he had never heard
O1 Any pdkPO6S vi VI ALL as
SCISSOR in the county to assess proper
ty for taxation ait less than it's real
value. He also testified Ito a true N
fair valuation of property for taxation
in 1899.
D. McEachcrn, chairman OF the board
of commissioners of New Hanover
county, testified hat he was a member
Of the board OF equalization in 1899
and was an assessor in 1895; hat as
ocSocGOr ho fr;od 10 aScocc nrOnQrfU a
it tue value in money; that h as
SCISSORS in 1899 increased the valuation
of property in Wilmington very largely
and that afterwards the board of equal
iZation reduced the assessment of great
many pieces Of property in Whining
ton to what the board regarded as it's
actual cash value. This was the sole
purpose of the board in making the re-
duction. He mentioned a number of
valuable lots in Wilmington which had
still been oVer-aSsessed. He stated
that in the valuation of ank stock the
intention of he board was to fix it at
it's real value n not to make an arbi-
tary Embarrassment; that he had no
knowledge Of any purpose of the as
SCISSORS Or the board Of equalization to
assess property otherwise than ait Its
true cash value. On cross-examination
he was asked If a number Of citizens
of Wilmington had not valued their
personal property very low. He replied
that they had valued some of it low
with reference to its cost price, but not
with reference as to what 1T could be
sold alt for cash He further said thai
he thought that there was more cash
in hand and hun deposit than had been
listed for taxation.
On Characterization evera Of the
witnesses admitted that there were
sales of real estate ait greater prices
than the assessed valuation.
The count will meet again at $3.50
O'Clock this morning.
