About Listing Your Taxes.

As tax listing time IS at hand the
Mt. Olive AdcertlSer says this:
Both real and personal property in
many places, is listed for taxation at
much less than actual value, thus
robbing the commonwealth of its just
revenues, imposing hardship on the
herest, Conscientious tax payer, and
making perjurer of the man who
lie. in order to evade his just share
of public burdens.
The man who does not list has
property for taxation at its proper
value, has suspicious spot in his
makeup. When the public comes to
regard such men as liars, thieves and
perjurers, there will be less complaint
about unjust taxation. Let us be

of Granville county, stopped over in
Henderson to visit her sister Mrs. f.
F. Hight. Soon after getting off the
train when about opposite DIR.
Kerner's residence she was taken
suddenly with something like sun
stroke. She was carried into the
house and her condition was such
that she could no be removed until
last Friday night when she was taken
from DR.. Kerner's to Mr.. Nights
home. Mrs Hester had apparently
been in good health up to the time
she reached Henderson and her
strange affection is unaccounted for.
She has had several commissions and
is in state of Inconsistencies q
good part of the time. She was
thought to be little better Wednes-
dav until the commissions returned.

COMING OF FUEL OIL.

The introduction of oil for fuel in the
sugar making industry is one of the
developments which must come and the
increased attention which the islands
are attracting as field for exploitation,
indicates that the change will occur
soon. There are difficulties in the way.
The fact that the oil can be carried
economically only In tank steamers in
great bulk, makes the problem a more
troublesome one. With this method of
handling the product there offers no re-
turn freights for the ships. Sugar could
not be put into the tanks without their
being cleansed thoroughly. The odor
would never leave the sugar. The cost
Eof the cleaning by steam would be SO
great that it would nearly wipe out the
profit,
The investment in the preparation of
the storage tanks. the tank cars and the
docks alone would preclude the en-
trance into the field of a small Ncom-
pany. 1t is a matter for large capital
and that will interest itself only where
there seems to be profit in proportion.
IT is still a. question here. The price
|of coal is now very low, according to
past standards. What Is now selling for
$780, would few years ago have
brought So It Is then matter of close
computation whether or not with the
great cost of carriage the oil may be
laid down at a figure which will enable
lit to supplant coal on the plantations:
| it never can in the city as that is pro-
| hibited by law.
| Some idea of the figures which must
prevail may be gathered from the state
ments of experts that at the present
time the highest efficiency of an oil
burner has not been reached. Now the
heat units of ton of coal NAV be
taken from about three and three
fourths barrels of oil. It is thought that
this may be reduced to three barrels
even later, but there has been little i'm
provement in the burners in the past
decade. On the higher basis to meet
the coal the oil must be laid down al
about s1.50 barrel.
1t is the great saving in handling
which makes the smokeless fuel valu-
able, and the reduced cost of the fire
room will do much to secure the adop-
ton of the fuel, if such a result is pos
sible.

COUNTY REGISTRARS

 It is well known about the Capitol that the members of the State Board will se- lect men for these places with a view solely to their fitness and that while en- dorsement of prominent citizens will cut some figure with the Board, their main object is to secure men who will observe the letter of the law.
 I happen to know" said a close friend of a member of the State Board yes- appointments will not be. guided abso- lutely by the recommendations made by the several County Democratic Commit tees. If the Board listened entirely to these Committees, 1t would be guilty of partissnship and might be misled. It is we'll known that County Committees are influenced by local conditions and in some instances by local factions. The State Board win endeavor to make the appointments on higher plane. Of course the members of the Board will give heed to suggestions from leading men but 1t seems to me members of County. Democratic Committees should leave the Board free to act for itself. The Board will be very careful in the selection of the registrars and in my opinion only men of high character and men who have the backbone to carry out the spirit and intent of the new Com stitution will be appointed"
 The members of the State Board have compiled the lists of applicants for Coun- ty Registrars alphabetically. The Board will not take the matter under consider ation until some time in December. At that time these alphabetical lists will be gone over carefully and the appointments will be announced

LEAPED INTO FURNACE
AN UNKNOWN MAN COMMITS
 SUICIDE
When Found His Left Foot Was the Only Part of Him Not Dis figured by the
 Heat

Pittsburg Nov. 2.-A few moments after midnight an unknown man threw himself headlong into one of the fur naces at Schoenberger's mills, Four tGenth and Elna Streets. Almost his entire body was roasted beyond identl- fication. his left foot being the only part not disfigured.
 A few moments before midnight the man was seen to enter the mill yards and stand at the foot of the hoisting car which carries ore, coke and other supplies for the furnace. The moment that warning sounded for the cage to ascend with it's burden, three workmen and stand within few feet of them. They were confused and did not know what to think of him, as no one but em- ployes are allowed on the cages. When the top of the furnace was reached, near ly 100 feet from the level, Thomas Lee determined to order him away. The huge crib was opened to allow the car bell was lifted, throwing a terrific heat from the fiery substance underneath. Lee had not had time to open his mouth when the man threw himself headlong into the furnace. Quick as flash Lee saw the action and dropped the bell, but all too late. The man was buried head and shoulders In the flames. The lid 1t from being consumed. He was pulled out by three men, but nearly every part of his body resembled piece of half cooked meat.
 No one remembers of ever having seen him before. and 1t Is probable he will never be identified. The body was re- moved to the morgue. The man was about 35 years old. medium height, sandy mustache and apparently an American. He wore black laced shoes.
