THE COUNTY TAX RATE.
Levy Court May Find 1t Possible to Reduce
Present Rate.

The Lovy Court will shortly tako up
the consideration of the budget for the
fiscal year beginning July LIST. The
county has to raise about S2SS, 900 a
year to meet interest on bonds, and the
many other items which go to make
up the budget.
Last year the tax rate was raised
from co to 80 cents on the 800 of
assessed valuation, which was very
large raise. The present court may
find it possible to reduce the rate some
what. Back in 1895 the rate was 80
cents; it so continued in 1896, but rose
to GO cents in 1897, and 50 cents in
1901.
When the tax rate was put at so
cents for the present year, there was
asdeiicit on account of the previous
year of about S69, 600. Now thcro is a
balance in bank of about $40, 900, and
although much of this may be needed
to pay interest on bonds, il is expected
to close the present fiscal year this
month with balance in bank.

NEW WIRELESS TELEGR4PHY.
SUCCESS OF THE FESSENDEN SYSTEM
APPARENTLY PROVED.

Norfolk. Va. April 26.-The wireless telegra-
ply tests at Roanoke Island to-day were the
most important since the experiments began
four days ago It test OF American
system of wireless telegraphy. This system has
been perfected by Reginald A. Fessenden. work
Ing under the direction OF Wills L. Moore, chief
of the Weather Bureau.
These experiments have been going on for two
years ct intervals but not until to-day was II
established beyond a doubt that by the new
system wireless messages can be sent to vessels
at sea for a distance Of over 200 miles.
The test to-day observed by General A
W. Greely and Captain Russell, of the Signal
Corps of the army. both of whom
thusiastic over the results and by Lieutenants
Beech and Hudgins who were present as rep
resenta.ives of Admiral Bradford, chief OF the
Bureau of Equipment OF the Navy
The government has & testing station at Weer-
point on the northeast shoals Of Roanoke Island.
and another about seven miles west of Cape
Hatteras. The two stations fftythree miles
apart. The tests show that the energy required
for successful transmission over such brackish
water is about thirty-six times greater than
salt water under the same conditions At
each station mast 145 feet high is erected for
carrying arrival wires. which consist OF five
copper wires, strung twelve inches apart The
transmitting apparatus consists of the usual
induction COIL common with other systems OF
wireless telegraphy. but the receiving apparatus
is altogether different from that used In other
systems
This part of the invention is. for the present.
kept secret, although the workings were ex-
hibited to the experts present at to-days tests.
A telephone receiver is employed. and remark
able fact is that MESA ges can be sent and re-
ceived as rapidly as by land wires and with far
greater rapldity than by cable.
In to-days tests messages were sent at a
rate of thirty words a minute, and this is by no
means the possible limit. Professor Fessenden
says thnt with a skilled operator fifty, or pos
sihly seventy words can be sent minute.
