 Detailed reports of recorder, Foreman Jennings of the city corral. and the pound keeper were presented, read. discussed and ordered filed.

 The collections for the same quarter one year ago were S30,79l 20, showing an increase of s5.177.e5 over any pre- ceding quarter in the history of the city.

COST OF TELEPHONES.

There is probably no city in the coun.
try that is so burdened with telephone
tax as Raleigh, not that the charge by
any company is too high, but that
there are three companies doing bust
ness in the city, and if business de-
sires to be in telephone communication
with all it's customers it must put in
all three systems, involving a cost of
three times what telephone service
ought to cost, not to speak of the an
noyance of having to look in three
books to see what telephone the party
you wish to speak to uses and the loss
of time involved in trying all the tele-
phones before you get the right one
when your bell rings.
If Raleigh had only one system, own.
ed by the city or regulated by it or the
Corporation Commission, the price could
be placed at such a low figure as to
make the use of telephones almost uni
versal. Is it not possible to bring about
a consolidation or some system whereby
the present telephone expense and nuis-
ance can be abated?
In the town of Fondjem, in Norway,
with population of 10000 the city owns
the telephone system and the charge
for telephone in business houses is
$16.05 per year, and one half that for
residences. A small additional charge
is made for every 1OS yards additional
beyond one mile from the central sta
ton.
Four years ago some farmers in
county in Massachusetts organized a
company with $4,000 capital. 1t now
has $50 miles of wire and 200 subscrib-
ers The cost to the origial members is
only $500 year. In Montgomery coun-
ty the farmers bought switchboard,
bought their own telephones and them
selves helped to put up the wires in
their respective neighborhoods. With
an initiation fee of $500 and monthly
ones of % cents they keep the lines in
repair, and the tolls from the non-sub-
scribers pays the salary of the switch
board operator Forty small towns are
thus served with 5000 telephones at
small expense.

FARM LABOR HARD TO GET.
Cotton Covered by the Freshet is Now Doing
Well.
Especial to News and obseryer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Scotland Neck, N. c., June 14.-This
morning an experienced farmer told your
correspondent that the labor question in
this section is a serious one. He said it
is well nigh impossible to hire labor that
has not been contracted for, and it is
quite difficult to hire labor even by con-
tract. The colored people prefer to rent
small plots of land, have their own mule
or OK, give their own mortgage and make
much less than when they acted as ten
ants for good landlords and took none of
the responsibility Of paying for supplies.
The merchants do less business since the
colorcd people have commenced to man-
age for themselves, for there is much
less cotton made
Mr.. w. P. Darden, a Roanoke river
farmer, says that the cotton which was
covered by the Roanoke freshet is COM
ing out and growing well. much to the
surprise of the farmers. The loss in the
crop will not be as much as was at first
feared. Peanuts and corn that were
planted when the freshet came have to
be replanted.

SENATOR PRITCHARD'S BLUM
DER.

Many people who are complaining about
the new revenue law have never read it.
A prominent business man. who was
criticizing it severely, found out that his
criticism was based upon an incorrect
newspaper statement. Another based
his objection to a provision in the first
draft of the revenue bill. Upon reading
the act as passed, he found that the
method of taxation of which he COM
planned had been eliminated.
The Winston Republican and Hickory
Press, two thick and thin Republican or
gans, under the heading THE Revenue
Act Didn't Slight the Farmer" are tell
ing the farmers that their lands will be
taxed higher Senator Pritchard is
quoted as saying that 1.-The last Legisla-
ture seems to have been in the humor
for raising everything and
in order to avoid, the charge that they
had sighted the farmer they legislated
so as to raise the assessed value Of their
lands for taxation on an average of at
least one-half in almost every county in
the State"
AS matter of fact, the new revenue
law does not in any way affect the as
sessed value of an acreIof land in North
Carolina. Land is assessed for taxation
only once in four years. 1t was assessed
two years ago and will be assessed again
until after the next Legislature meets.
So Senator Pritchard, trusting to false
publications which were widely circulated
for the purpose of preventing the passage
of a just revenue measure that would
reach tax-dodgers, has made an unjust
criticism of the most important act of the
Legislature. 1.-The wants to be sure he is
right before criticizing he should read
the News and Observer. The Radical and
, Mugwump papers are sure to print every
thing wrong that concerns Democratic
legislation. 80
The revenue act is not perfect. but it
was drafted to secure fair assessment
of the personal property and other prop
erty that has largely escaped fair
share fthe public burden. 1t was not
framed to increase the tax on those who
have been paying on fair returns, but on
those who have evaded such payment.

Helps and Hurts to Town.

As a man who speaks i'll Of his own
family, lowers both himself and family
too, in the estimation of others, so does
man who cares little for his town and
community.
The man who is respected by others,
respects himself, and his neighbors, and
whose patriotism begins at home.
Never forget that you are part of the
town and that your department helps to
make up the strangers estimate of the
place. 1t is so with newspaper The
man or woman who would use a news
paper to belitte or injure his own town
or its business, is unfit to live in civil
ized community.
1t is not the site of town but its
character that makes it desirable
place to live. A live and prosperous
town is desirable one. Every citizen
in town should be interested in its pros
perity. One Of the ways to help town
is to speak we'll of it. 1t is true patriot
ism to stand by your town and self in.
terest as well. l.-Deckertown Indepen-

Burglary and Fire.

At an early hour last Sunday morn.
ing daring and successful burglary
although but $40 was obtained, occurred
here, and after abstracting the cash
from a money drawer, the thieves fired
the building and made their escape.
The store entered is owned by Henry
Helms, butcher and grocer. The build
ing is large three story structure stu,
ated at Sussex avenue and Cleveland
street. Mr.. and Mrs. Helms occupy the
upper part of the house.
Mr.. Helms closed his store about mid
night Saturday and retired. Two hours
later he and his wife were awakened by
Thomas Zindle, who resides in Cleveland
street, and who was rapping on the rear
door of the store and shouting for help.
When the couple arrived at window
Zindle informed them that the rear end
of the store was enveloped in flames.
Helms ran to the lower floor and by the
aid of several buckets of water extin-
guished the blaze, which was located in
corner within ten feet of barrel
filled with kerosene oil.
An investigation disclosed the origin
of the fire and the robbery. The safe
was tampered with but had not been
opened.

Concerning Firemens Home.

Among the questions that will prob
ably receive consideration at the annual
convention of the State Firemen's Relief
Association, to be held in Atlantic City
on Sept II, that of providing some
permanent plan for the maintenance of
the New Jersey Firemen's Home at
Boonton will be considered.
Many of the veteran volunteer fire.
men, who practically control the relief
fund, are anxious to have part of the
two per cent. tax applied to the main
tenance of the home, and the conven-
ton will probably take under considera-
ton some plan. A committee of the
State Exempt Firemen's Association has
this matter now under consideration,
and it is not improbable that the relief
association may appoint committee to
cooperate with them.
At present the two per cent. tax is
divided equally among the volunteer
and paid departments cf the State, the
amount received by each relief associa
ton this year being about $195.
