THE" 1908 TAX LEVY.

25.45 mills.
The board of tax levy completed its
work this morning and adjourned. The
results of it's labors in brief, will be found
in the table at the head Of this column.
Ward rates were fixed as follows, the
first figures being those for 1902, and the
second, those adopted to-day for 1908:
First ward, $50, 2.25; second ward, 1.O0
;1.15; third ward, 200, 2.25; fourth ward,
ward, 800, 1.s0; seventh ward, $50, 225;
eighth ward, 1876, 1.15; ninth ward, 2.50
2.25; tenth ward, ESQ, 2.25;.. eleventh
ward '1.9O 10; twelfth ward; $50, 2.25;
Thirteenth ward, $50, 2.5o.
This Is an average rate of about 1.50.
The increase in the second ward is due
to the removal Of Twin City Rapid Tran
sit headquarters from that ward to the
eighth, which has reduced the wards as
sessed valuation by about 5,000,0OO A
discussion regarding the thirteenth ward
assessment resulted in a severe criticism
of the street commissioner Of that ward,
who, City Controller Rogers said, had
grossly mismanaged this funds and had
plunged the ward into deSt.
The board went on record this morning
as favoring unanimously th } plan advo-
Gated by Acting Mayor Jonss to abolish
the fines imposed periodically upon the
proprietors of disreputable resorts In the
red light district.
The mayor: declared: the, collection. as;of
these fines tobe nothing :ess than a. piece
of municipal grafting,'' and he argued
that the city should not stoop to such a
source of revenue. Former Mayor Will
liam H. Eustis, who was present a
spectator, objected to the use of the term
municipal grating, but said he favored
trial of the plan proposed. The board
finally asesnted to the mayors proposition
unanim ously, the estimate; Of receipts
from the municipal court being placed at
$40, ooe, exclusive: Of fines from houses OF
ill-fame. =: s.f*%s>5E~F, ~ X: * .s>-5. -.
Although he did not say so this: morn
ine,;s 1t is understood that Mayor Jones'
plan contemplatess a$ modification Of the
ordinances regulating liquor. licenses, sc
that city licenses may be issued for use
in these places. This would result in only
a slight diminution :of: revenue, while i,
would notsput the city IN the position ,o1
licensing an evil which. the state legisla.
ture has made a felony. ,- ,,>s.5

Mr.. ::QUAY'S. SUGGESTION
He Is Said to Have Promised a Spec
ial Session of the Pennsyl- =
vania Legislature.

Fro,,, The journal Bureau. Room, 50. Ress
Building. Washington.
Washington, Oct. 4.-Even had the
strike been settled it is said on the au-
thority Of experienced men that coal cam
not be got out in sufficient quantities to
prevent much suffering this winter There
are practically 500 collieries affected; and
fully 200 Of them are flooded with water
and have not been entered by a living
person since June l.. AT a conservative
estimate six months will elapse before
these flooded mines can be put into con-
dition.
Senator Quay is understood to have told
the president that if the conference came
to naught he would guarantee a special
session of the Pennsylvania legislature
which would deal with the situation as 1t
demanded.
Mr.. Quay said that Pennsylvania was
suffering from the effects Of the strike
more than any other section Of the coun-
try, and had more at stake in having or
der restored. He added that there was
no reason why the legislature could not
step into the breach, appoint receivers
for the mines and railways and operate
them in the. interest of the public, and
that this was what would be done.
This talk of Quay's is along the same
line as that Of the president: regarding
special session 'of congress.
The, operators may have their troubles
multiplied rapidly.'rI Il

AVOICE FROM Utah

Mothers cannot be too careful Of girls

Mrs. D. F. Dowd, of Nephi City, Utah.
She speaks from the fullness of expert

first critical time of her life. From the

entirely to DR.. Williams Pink Pills. as you
will see. 1 caught cold,' she continued.
lat CRITICAL time and endured tortures
as a consequence. My color became very
bad, 1 was nervous and grew constantly
worse. Then I began to have palpitation
of the heart and my blood became in a
wretched condition. l felt tired and Ian
guild all the time and was hardly able to
get around at my work.
None of the medicines that I tried
made any difference in my health. I was
nearly discouraged when I heard from
my uncle, Mr.. J. Brandon Sr, of Logoch,
Manitoba, telling me that he had used
DR.. Williams Pink Pills with the great
est benefit for nervousness. Then I de-
cided to try them myself, with the re-
suit that after taking two boxes, found
1 was much better. A few boxes more
made me feel like an entirely different
person and now l. am able to do nay work
with ease. All my friends know what
good DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People have done for me-
Any woman who is ai1ng with the
troubles peculiar to her sex should try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. No discovery of modern times has
proved such a blessing to women as these
wonderful vegetable pills. Acting directly
on the blood and nerves, invigorating the
body, regulating the functions, they re-
store the strength and health in the ex-
nausted patient when every effort of the
physician proves unavailng. These pills

SCARCITY OF COAL.

PottsvilIe, Pa, July 18.-Mining
superintendent here say that the
continuation of the strike in the an
thracite region, which is now certain
by reason Of the action of the Indi-
annapolis convention, will cause great
suffering in Philadelphia and New
York during the coming winter on
account of the scarcity Of hard coal
for domestic PURPOSES. Even If the
strike is settled within a month from
now the autumn viii oe far advanced
before many OF the colHeries can be
placed in condition for shipping.
Officials of the Iyttle colliery, the
largest of this section, stated that it
will take four months to clear the
mine of water SO as to permit a re-
sumption of work. The same con-
dition prevails at the other colleries
to some extent, although the Phila.
delphia & Reading has succeeded il
protecting a number Of its importan1
operations.

! To the EditOr:-I take the only
method [ have to express my full
endorsement of the Democratic State
ticket, nominated at Greensboro. [
shall do all that a judge can with
propriety do to insure its success at
the polls.
The Democratic party cannot af-
ford to permit the defeat of any one
of its candidates. In selecting my OPP
ponent, Judge Conner, for the exalt-
ed station of Associate Justice, our
party has recognized JudgeC onnor's
answering fidelity to Democratic
principles, when in 1894, he unhesl-
tatingIy thrust aside the tempting
bride Of the F~usionists and refused
to allow the weight of his name and
high character to be cast in the bal
ance against the true interests of our
State. Judge Conner will bring to the
bench of our highest Court, the in
valuable experience of ten years en-
inent Judicial service, a finely bal
anced and conservative nature and
pre-eminently a Judicial cast of
mind; all of which will give great
confidence to all classes Of suitors in
the absolute impartiality of the de-
crees of our Supreme Court.
I also wish to sincerely thank my

ASSAULTED WITH A CANE.
District Attorney Holton Attacked
by n. G.. Williams in a Hard
ware Store in Winston.
July II,

WinstOn-Salem, N. c., July IT,
Mr.. N. Glenn Williams,a prominent
citizen Of Yadkin county, made an
assault with a cane on o.. District
Attorney A. E. Holton in a hard
ware store here this afternoon. MI.
Williams also had a COW hide in one
hand. Mr.. Holton had only been in
the store a few minutes when Mr..
Williams entered and Immediately
attacked him. Several blows had
been struck when bystanders inter
fered and separated the two men.
Mr.. Holton was buying a monky
wrench at the time, and before their
friends separated them Mr.. Holton
struck Williams one blow with the
wrench.
A large crowd gathered soon after
the affair to hear the version of each
of the two men. Mr.. Williams law
yer stated that the trouble was of
long standing and originated out OF
some remarks made by Mr.. Holton
in a trial in Yadkin county some
time ago. The alteration today was
simply the outgrowth of hard feel
ings engendered on this occasion.
In talking to some friends this af:
ternoon Mr.. Holton stated that he
| had said no more of Mr.. Williams in
| the trial referred to than he would
have said of any other nan in SINH
lar circumstances. He added thai
he considered the attack made upor
him as altogether unjustifiable anC
indefensible.
Mr.. Williams submitted and CAV,
bond for his appearance here mex

will be held by Justice Resent
