of Mecklenburg are holding their cotton
for better prices. Last year this time,
with a crop cotton was bringing 9.4O two

was useless for them to buy cotton with
no hope of selling it; that the mills, at
least a number of them, were not in the

l.. p. LEWIS.

r. N. White, county clerk, has re-
oeived from the state board OF assessors
the tax schedule for the B. & NJ. line OF
road in this county. 1t places the as
ssssed valuation Of the road in this coun-
ty at 81 ,05S, 500 which is nearly twenty
six thousand dollars per milo. In our
judgment, this assessment is altogether
too high. 1t certainly must be much
higher than the original cost Of the road.
All property should pay its just proper
ton OF the taxes but with such an as
sessed valuation ns this on the railroad
property the other property Of the coun-
ty would not be paying its fair proper
tion OF the taxes. II this is fair sam
pie of the valuation placed upon the
other lines Of railroad in the state, the
state board Of sssessors has made an as.
sessment that is geously high and
should be scaled down to reasonable
figure, This unreasonable assessment
Is probably due to the fact that
the roilroad companies were fighting the
revenue law and refused to furnish the
state board OF assessors with my figures
to use as the bass of their assessment.
