The Governor Recommends 60 the
Legislasure That the Compromise be
Approved.
especial to The Messenecr.)

Especial to The Messenger.)
Raleigh. February The governor
sent a message to the legislature to-
day. Transmitting the report OF the cor
poratbon Commission, showing that the
tax assessment cases were compro-
missed and settled. He says he was
summoned to Wilmington early in jan
uary by H. G.. Common. counsel for the
state. and her found the proposition
for a settlement being discussed by
the railway and state attorneys The
railways insisted on reduction OF assess
ment made in 1899, but were willing
to pay on the assessment of 1900, pro-
vided their assessabae property should
not again be assessed until there was
another assessment OF other property
in the state. Upon a conference or the
states attorneys. they decided not to
assent TO n reduction in assessment
for either year. but We're willing rail-
way property be assessed only as often
as other property. h railways then
decided to accept this view, withdraw
their suits and pay the assessed tax
for 1899 and 1900. He says:
This statement appears TO me just
and i recommend to place h railways
as 10 time of assessment Of property
upon the same ARMS with all other as
seSSable property. IL such a law shall
be passed the railways Will not be again
assessed until 1903. There are many
good men, I am aware, who would have
preferred TO continue the litigation and
to s other and more stringent tax
laws against railways, but TO do 50 in
wolves continued litigation. which has
SO far cost the state SIS. 273. and which
cannot be continued at less than a cost
of $4,000 annually to h state. The
railways ought to bear the of

to meet them, but it is not a violation
Of this rule TO act upon the assessment
made by the corporation commission

Of taxation. 1t is frequently wiser to
settle litigation than to continue it.
am persuaded this is one instance in
which it would be wise, both for state
and the railways TO come to an agree
ment. 1t rests with the legislature to
carry out or not the terms upon which
the settlement has been made. The
question is no longer for me further
than to say that in my judgment what
has been done is both Just and wise"

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER
He Cured Himself of Serious stomach
Trouble Down to First Principles

A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exer-
else and too many club dinners, final
ly began to pay natures tax, levied in
the form of chronic stomach trouble;
the failure of his digestion brought
about a nervous irritapility making it
impossible to apply himself ito his
daily business and finally deranging
the kidneys and heart.
In his own words he says: Il con-
suited one physician after another
and each one seemed to understand my
case, but all the same they each fail
I'd to bring about the return of my
former digestion, appetite and vigor.
For two years 1 went from pillar to

cine, Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets n 1

tisements of the remedy but never O

cine would touch my case

discomfort.
