THE WAY TO GET Rich.


The North Wilkes5oro Hustler says
that one nrnas@fn that place, Smoak
Son and Company, last week made a
shiprrent of four carloads of canned
Mo. They were valued at $4,000. The
same firm has five car loads of other
canned goods which will be shipped
later.
1t is in such industries, as well as
in the larger ones. that North Carolina
has q. mint of money if it is converted
into cash as these Wilkesboro mer-
chants are doing. It takes no big CAPT
tai to handle canneries and no great
amount of cash to deal in dried fruit. 1t
takes indust. y, knowledge of what peo-
pie who have money TO. buy want, and
commercial common sense. If the fig
urcs could be obtained showing the growth
of such Industries as this they
would surprise our own people,
but they are yet in their infancy. They
are destined to make North Carolina
rich.
No community can grow rich by
swapping eggs and cotton for spool
thread and guano. The town that
grows most rapidly and the folks who
getsrch the fastest are those that sell
most to the outside world, and buy
much less than they SELL The canning
of blackberries and fruits will not make
the Wilkes people millionaries, but it
will improve their condition and put
comforts in the reach of those who now
enjoy only the necessaries of life.

one ever enacted b. Michigan Leg
islature. AS was to be expected, the
commissioners have met with opposi-
ton from tax dodgers, and have re-
ceived the support and approval of the
farming class, the worl<ingman, the
clerk, the merchant and business man,
and of all Of the smaller property own
ers in the State.
Il submit herewith a table which
shows the increase in the assessed vail
uation of the real and personal property
in the State. made as a result of the
work of the lax Commission:
Assessed valuation of real estate
1899, 1926, SSH; 1900, 81 ,006, 453 ,013; in
crease. $3.50, 594, 302.
Assessed valuation of personal 1899,
s142 $3.50, 376; 1900, $50. 1897 OILS; increase,
$16S, $50 639.
Total assessed valuation 1899, $685.
1S9.0S7; 1900, $1,317, 450,02S; increase,
$349 .260941.
1T will be noticed that the increase
of the assessed valuation of the proper
ty of the State, as the result Of only
one years work of the commission, is
nearly $3.50 900 900. / am satisfied that,
if the commission IS not hindered in it's
work, this sum would be doubled at
the end of another year. At the begin
ming of the work OF the commission,
the tax-dodging interests claimed that
the law was going to result in the in
crease of taxes upon the property of
farmers, working men and other small
property owners. The newspapers were
filled with dispatches from the rural
districts making complaints against
the work of the commission in this re-
spect, but the commission disregarded
these criticisms and continued the work
upon the lines which it had laid down
at the beginning. How groundless these
criticisms have been will be seen when
it is known upon what property this in
crease in assessment has been made. The
statistics Of he commission upon this
point are not complete as yet, but from
what has beCn finished / am able to
show you beyond contradiction that
this increase has been made where it
should have hcen made, namely upon
the properly Of those who have been
escaping Their share of taxes in the
past, and not upon The property of far
mers, clerks, workirgmen and other
small propetIT owners.

Mrs. Joe Person.
Allow me to express my gratitude to
you for the wonderful cure your Remedy
made on my little baby girl. Some eight
months ago she was afflicted with some
blood impurity, which resulted in raw
sores and scabs on her face and feet,
which troubled her severely for II months,
more or less. After trying different
remedies and four physicians without any
permanent relief, by chance l saw one of
your papers and read some of your testi-
monials l decided to try your Remedy.
After using it short while, she began
to improve. When she had taken two
bottles of it the sores were entirely heal
ed, and now she seems to be entirely we'll.
l consider your Remedy one of the very
best blood purifiers on the market; alSo
one of the best medicines for teething
children. Yours very truly,
MRS. A. G. BAZEMORE.
