THE BOND ELECTION.
The Registrars and Judges Of Election to Get
S84 For Each Precinct

It now begins to look as if the peo-
pie of Raleigh will really have to vote
in August on another bond issue.
The anti-bond men are organizing and
laying campaign pipe on the one hand:
on the other the city government is
setting in action the election machinery
for submitting the question.
Registration begins tomorrow, and
yesterday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock the
board of aldermen met to decide what
compensation the registrars should re-
ceive for their services.
The following resolution by Alderman
Andrews was adopted:
THAT the city clerk be. and he is
hereby instructed to communicate with
the several registrars and judges of
election heretofore appointed by him,
and if they or any of them be unwilling
to serve, as set out, that he remove
the said registrars or judges of election,
and select ana appoint other suitable
persons to act as such judges of cleo
tion or registrars as the matter may be.
THAT the city clerk be, and he is
hereby instructed to pay to the regis
trars of each precinct the sum of eighty
four dollars ($S4.0O) in lieu of the COM
pcnsation allowed by law, and the said
sum of eighty four dollars to be the
entire compensation to the four regis
trars of each precinct"
The board then adjourned.
The registrars met last night at $50
in the mayors office at the request
of the city clerk and received their
books and instructions.
The registrars are as follows: Rich
ard Koonce, Ed. r. Pace, VIM. J. Bell,

ALLIANCE BUSINESS AGENT,
1t is Likely That His Office Will be Again
Moved Back to Raleigh.

! The State Alliance, at its meeting III
Hillsboro early in August, Will consider
the advisa bility of moving the business
agents office back to Raleigh. Ihls
will be one of the principal questions
that will come before the Alliance at
that time 1t will be remembered that
the business agent was here until the
past half dozen years ago, and was NOV
ed to Hillsboro on account of the estap-
lishment of the Alliance shoe factory
there.
It seems that the change has never
been quite satisfactory, and now that
the shoe factory has been closed down,
it is likely that the business agent VIII
come back to this city.
Mr. ]. w. Denmark, member OF the
executive committee OF the State Al
lance is just back from meeting OF
the committee at Greensboro. He says
only routine business was transacted
but that the reports laid before the
committee were encouraging showing
a growth in membership of the Alliance
during the past year.

DON'T WANT TO PAY TAX
Show a Shyness When it Comes to
Value of Their Stock.
ONE SAMPLE OF HOW THEY DO THE TRICK
Or. Dixon on Tour Of the West 10 Ascertain
Real Value Of Banks and Corporations
No Wilmington Bank Sends
Satisfactory Returns

The new law in regard to taxing banks
and corporations is causing considerable
trouble to the State Auditor. who is
charged with the Assessment of these
properties.
Some banks and corporations-ind a
majority of them, be it said to their cred
it-answer honestly and fairly the ques-
tions asked, and. place q seemingly fair
and reasonable valuation on their stock.
others, on the tax-dodginC contrary, pr
sue a very different course, beginning by
giving vague and evasve answers TO the
question asked, and ending by
badly appraising their stock at much be-
low it's real value.
Here is an instance-and there are
many others like it in kind if not degree:
strong bank in one of the largest cities
in the State writes that it doesn't Know
what it is worth, because there IS no
stock exchange in its town. Then II
adds that the bank agreed to let the
county commissioners last year put the
stock on the tax books at 105, provided
it was not to be increased in tax value
for the next four years. The bank
thought now that the law was changed.
that the State ought to stand by this
agreement. However, the bank would not
insist on this point, and would even agree
that it's stock be assessed at 113.
Az, matter of fact, the stock in that
bank cannot be bought for 200. If men
familiar with banks and bank stocks are
to be believed.
As result Of these inaccuracies in re-
turns State Auditor Dixon yesterday start
ed out on tour of the State to visit
banks and corporations from which he
has been unable to get anything salts
factory. He will first go west-to Dur
ham, Greensboro, Concord and Charlotte.
Then he will return his attention east,
notably to Wilmington, from which not
one single satisfactory bank return has
been received.
1t is not yet known whether the new
taxing law for banks will result in an
increase or a decrease of revenue to the
State. In fact that will all depend on the
ad valorem tax fixed by the Auditor.
The license tax is, of course, not so great
as when no ad valorem tax was levied,
but it is believed that If anything like
a fair value is placed on the property
of the banks the license tax and the. ad
valorem tax this year will be an increase
on what has been heretofore paid by the
banks.

REDUCTION OF RATE
Railroad Men to Have a Hear
ing on August 1st.
Propose 10 Make The Southern and Seaboard
Roads Conform 10 The Standard Freight
Rate on Their Branch Lines.

The question of a redux5son in freight
rates over North Carolina railroads will
now be taken up by the Corporation Com
mission.
Notice has been issued to the South
ern Railway and the Seaboard Air Line to
the effect that the Commission will, on
August LIST, consider a revision of freight
rates on their branch lines, TO make them
conform to the standard rate, and discuss
the establishment of a uniform cotton
rate.
Though each of lhese railway systems
has been consolidated and all its lines
are run as one road, they have been
charging one rate (known as the stand
ard rate) on the main line, and a higher
rate 90 to % per cent above the stand
ard on their branch lines. And the same
system has been followed IS to the COM
modify rate on cotton.
1t is now proposed to see If this cannot
be discontinued. The Atlantic Coast Line
has long ago put in force the same rates
for both main line and branch roads,
and it is argued that the other two great
systems of the State ought to be requir-
cd to follow its example.
This question has been discussed be-
fore the Commission for several years,
but only in connection with the establish
ment of fertilizer and cotton rates, and
no action has ever been taken directly
on it.
The discontinuance of these local rates
would mean much to people living along
the branch lines of these two railway
systems.

AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.
Deserts Fer Two-Year-0ld Baby and the
County Has to Take It.

The county yesterday received into
the County Home, as an inmate, little
negro boy not quite two years old.
Nobody seemed to know his name.
His mother calling herself Daisy
Bloom, deserted him to go off on the
excursion that came in Tuesday from
Norfolk.
The child was brought to the court
house about noon by Dnah Powell a
negro woman who lives on Haywood
street, and was late yesterday after
noon taken out to the County Home to
be cared for until some better DISPOSE
ticn Of it can be made
. Dnah Powell said that Daisy Bloom
came to Raleigh when the negro regi-
ment returned two years ago, and has
been living at the home of Sylvia
Adams, on Watson street. She went
to the home of the Powell woman early
yesterday morning with the child in
her arms and asked Dinah if she would
not keep him until she could go to the
depot with a friend Dinah consented,
but after Daisy had zone the Adams
woman came by and told her that
Daisy had her clothes packed to leave
town Dinah not wishing to have the
child left On her hands ran from her
home on Haywood street to the depot
and searched for Daisy, but the unnat-
ural mother eluded her and made good
her escape. Several negroes said that
she was on the train.
The Adams woman says the Bloom
woman told her she was going to Nor
folk and thence home, and as she
didn't want to take baby home with
her she would leave it with the Powell
woman. who was anxious for it.

Judge A. w. Graham, who was visitor
yesterday from Oxford told of great de-
velopment of the copper mines of the
Granville section. Some time ago he
sold the High Hill mine for ten thousand
dollars to Northern capitalists, and these
have put in new machinery and are get
ting out large quantities Of ore. The
shaft has been sunk to four hundred feet
and the output is excellent. Two other
mines have just been leased to a promi-
nent capitalist from New York
and Philadelphia for ten years. These
are the Blue Wing and the ellis mines,
and the terms of the lease give the own
ers most satisfactory royalty. The ore
from these mines, in Northern Granville,
under assay have proved to equal any in
the country.

is a great success. It's stock is now worth
$780, and at that price there are buyers
of it. The prosperity of Oxford is shown
