Needs Careful Attention.

Inc members of the Commercial
club are moving in the right direction
looking after the present assessment
and proposed levy and tax rate that
is liable to put into effect.
AT the present price of property in
Superior it seems that the large in
crease in assessment is altogether ont
OF proportion and uncalled for, and
that the present tax rate be made as
low as possible City expenses should
be cut, and cut decidedly. 1t is an
undisputed fact that Superior has
been progressive city. improvements
have been made with lavish hand.
and perhaps as time, has proved not
always with the best of Judgment. and
property owners have been called
upon to bear the burden. 1t is high
time that intrenchment and cerain
reforms should be made if we expect
the city to advance as it has i'm the
years past.
The board of review should look
well after the assessment and espec-
Tally OF our manufacturing interests.

prosperity and the support of large
part of our population. If our indus
tries are taxed here higher than the

cities they will be obliged to gravitate
to the place where they can conduct
their plants at the least expense.

We must have railroads, factories,
mills, elevators, jobbing houses, ETC.,
and to those now located here the city
owes what it is today.
In order to induce others to locate
here and to retain those we have, we
must encourage by all means in our
power and certainly not hinder or
drive them hence by over taxation, so
that they cannot do business mere at
profit. There are many items of
expense in the city government that
can be reduced and the city not be
the loser, and our over burdened peo-
pie be relieved. This is a very i'm
portant matter at this time when all
branches of business are advancing,
and should be carefully looked after

The Hampton (Va.l Institute.

No institution of learning in this coun

proportion to itsyears than Hamptonln-

of the untiring labors of DIR. S. Q. Arm
strong, its thirty-third anniversary, just
celebrated, has found it with 2 600 grad
yates on its list, 5000 students in all,
and of the entire number scarcely one
to be marked off its honor roll OF men
and women who heve devoted them
selves to the uplifting of their race,
A brilliant and distinguished party
has been attending Hampton's thirty
third anniversary. On Tuesday the
10th, an informal preliminary confer
ence on education was held, participat-
ed in by leading white educators and
clergymen from northern and few
southern states. Last Wednesday morn
ing the board of trustees held its an
nual session, while the large number
of visitors went through the trade
school and shops where the young men
were engaged in work.
The trades that are taught are taught
| thoroughly. Many young men learn
several. so that when they take up
their work among the ignorant negroes
-" the field work, so called they can
build and teach others to build; can
take contracts for the whole of build
| ing. The newer halls, dormitories, and
other needed buildings for the trade
and educational instruction of the
Southern negro are now almost invari-
ably built wholly by the students.

Erdman were guests at the anniversary
| exercises above referred to, is very en-
thusiastic regarding the work at Hamp-
ton. He was especially impressed with

opinion, compared favorably with that
