NO DECREASE IN VALUATION.
All Property in Durham County Not Yet Listed
Internal Revenue Receipts
Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer)
Durham, n. c.. August LIN regard to
the decrease shown by the proof sheets
as to the valuation of property in the
county, City Attorney p. c. Graham tells
me that there is yet considerable prop
erty to go on the books, and when this is
all on there will be no decrease. Under
the new machinery act telegraph, tele-
phone, express, sleeping car, refrigerator
and freight cars, railroad, water works,
electric light and power and other like
companies and corporations are required
to make out certain returns to the Cor
poration Comission and this commission
fixes the values and apportions the taxes
to the counties entitled to the tax. In
addition to this there are other. corpora
tions that must report to the auditor.
who assesses the stock. Attorney Gra-
ham is sure that there will be no decrease
in Durham county, but on the other hand
believes that there will be an increase.
Negroes own property in this county that
is valued at little more than two hundred
thousand dollars. During the last year
the valuation of property held by the
colored race increased about five thousand
dollars. In this county there are six
townships, ana Dufnam township diOHG
pays over seven-eights of all the taxes
of the county
During the last year the receipts of the
internal revenue office amount to more
than two and one half million dollars.
The exact receipts were $2,599, ,625.34.
This is the largest business Uncle Sam
ever did in Durham. The receipts during
the month of July, after the war tax was
taken off and when the factories were not
on full time, amounted to one hundred
and fifty two thousand dollars. Not
withstanding these tremendous receipts
the Durham revenue office is a small
rented room.
The Durham ball team will leave here
the first of next week for trip through
the Eastern part of the State. They will
play in Godsboro, Kinston, Newbern and
other towns. Recently the team has been
strengthened by adding Dolph Mangum.
A private letter received in the city
from Chaplain A. A. Pruden, says that
he has been assigned to the Second In
fantry at Fort Thomas, Kentucky.

ment,S expression of opinion touching
his alleged disobedience of orders and
the reply from acting Secretary Hack.
EFT, declining to make this modification
Acting Secretary Hacketts letter to
Admiral Dewey is as follows:
Navy Department, Washington. Au-
gust 1St., 1901.
"Sir l transmit herewith for the
information of the court of inquiry, of
which you are president, a letter dated
the 9th ulto., from Rear Admiral Win.
field Scott Schley, asking that modifi-
cation be made in paragraph five of the
precept convening the court, together
with a copy of the Department reply
of this date
VERY respectfully,
'F. w. HACKETT,
acting Secretary.
ITO Admiral Geo. Dewey, u. S. Navy.
Washington, d. c.
1t is very rarely that precept con-
vening a court of inquiry is amended.
The departments action, it is stated,
while technically declining Admiral
Schley's suggestion, does, however, in
fact amount to an amendment on the
lines pointed out, by him. AS indicated
in the letter to Admiral Dewey this
record, and in fact is supplement to
the precept and of as much force as the
original document.
Captain Parker, of counsel for Ad-
miral Schley, continued his work at the
Navy Department today, of scanning
the log books and other records bear
ing upon the operations of the West In
dian fleet. He hopes to finish this week
He is maintaining close silence of his
discoveries, if he has made any and is
evidently an object of great interest
to the naval officers in the department,
who watch hi mvery closely and use
every precaution to prevent the news
paper men from coming in touch with
him. The log cooks are ponderous vol
ues and are watched with the most jeal-
Gus care at all times. In the present
instance a keen eyed young lieutenant
watches the turning of every page of
the volumes to make sure there shall
be no alterations or excisions.
Rear Admiral Kimberly will not be
a member of the Schley court of in
quiry. His request to be relieved from
the detail on the ground of i'll health
has been granted by the Navy Depart
ment and the department is now con.
sidering the question of his successor.
1t is, in fact, quite likely that a selec-
tion already has been made but the Of
fetal announcement will be withheld
until the officer selected has been heard
from. 1t is explained in connection
with the acceptance of Admiral Kim
berlys declination that this is the first
time in thirty-nine years that this of
ficer has requested the Department to
relieve him of duty to which he has
been assigned.
