John w. Hinsdale was counsel for the
state.
Mr.. H. c.. Moffit. clerk of 1he supe-
rior court of Columbus county was the
first witness. He testified to a total
absence of any differentiation Of real
and personal property In his county.
that he was acquainted with the val
ue of real estate all over the county
and with the tax assessment of 1893;
that real n personal property has
been universally assessed at its true
value in money: that there was no in
tention or purpose of the assessors TO
undervalue property. He mentioned
numbers of instances where property.
was ~overvalued. On cross examina-
ton, he testified that in his opinion
many tracts Of land were assessed at
far less than the value at which they
were sold.

Raleigh, N. c., December 81.
The news of the sudden death of
Chief Justice Faircloth of G~oldsboro
was h chief topic of talk yesterday
and today. There was a meeting of the
bar at the supreme court room at 9
O'Clock this morning. At this the fol-
lowing were appointed a committee to
so to G~oldSborO to attend the funeral:
Governor Russell, Associate Justice
Clark. ex-Chief Justice Shepherd,
Thomas S. Kenan, Spier Whitaker and
w. c. Douglas. The following were ap-
pointed to draft resolutions: Richard
H. Battle, w. H. Day, Armistead Jones,
s. G. Ryan and ]. H. Pou. Besides the
committee above named several gentle-
men went to Goldsboro, among them
Associate Justice Douglas, Charles A.
Cook, Revenue Collector Duncan,
Claude Bernard and ]. c. L. Harris.
There is no end of surmises as to who
will be the next chief justice. Most re-
publicans expect Associate Justice
Furches to be and think G. A. Cook E.
w Undertake, w. S. OBJ. Robinson
or Augustus M. Moore will be the ap-
pointee to fill the vacancy CAUSED by
FurcheS' promotion. Some say the
governor doesn't like Furches. Not a
few express the belief that Cook or
Timberlake will be named.
There is one story current that Eena-
tor Butler may get the place; that he
WOOiu resign MS seat IN the senate TO
take it; that then Governor Russell
would resign and G. A. Reynolds, who
would thus become governor, would
appoint Russell senator.
Today there were talk among some
leading democrats of having the bar
urge Governor Russell to go on tn
supreme court bench, to ask him to re-
sign n let Governor Reynolds ap-
point him.. Those who favor this say
the appointment must be made from
h east and that Russell is far and
away the ablest republican in hat part
of the state. They say it would really
be almost an appointment by the bar,
as it is evident that a republican il to
have the place, n they do not want
either Cook or Timberlake to have it.
Undertake came here yesterday. Cook
today.
It is said that one of the largest fer
tilizer manufacturers in the state says
his contracts for spring delivery are
$50 per cent greater thar last seasons.
This is construed to mean a vast acre
age in cotton-a most deplorable thing.
The year ended today has certainly
been a prosperous one for Raleigh and
North Carolina
To show the remarkable openness OF
the season 1t may be stated hat roses
were picked here today.
