STATE TAX COMMISSION.
SYNOPSIS OF ITS RECOMMEN-
DATIONS.

Hon. Franklin McNeill, chairman
of the North Carolina Corporation
Commission and State Tax Com
mission, gave to the press yesterday
synopsis of the recommendations
which the Commission will make to
the next General Assembly as en-
braced in their forthcoming biennial
report. The recommendations given
out are principally with regard to
changes in the tax rate and the sys-
tenn generally. Tie Commission will
recommend the increase of personal
property exemptions from $25 to
$500, and that the law be changed
SO that the poll tax for State and
county purposes shall not exceed 81
per capita, and that no poll tax shall
be levied for municipal purposes.
Another important recommenda-
tion is that the rate of taxation for
State and county purposes combined
be limited TO 663 cents on the $1OO
valuation, and that the municipal
tax rate be so limited that the COM
blned rate OF State, county and mu-
nicipal tax shall not exceed 81 on the
500 valuation.
There will also be a recommended
ton that there be no advaIorem tax
for State and pension purposes, and
in lieu thereof a tax be levied on
monies, franchises, inheritances and
some business licenses, such, for in
stance, as the liquor traffic.
There will be a further recommen-
dation that the taxes for revenue to
support the schools aud for county
and municipal purposes be derived
from a general property tax and that
the tax now levied on trades and
professions and bu-isle>5 licenses be
divided between tbs counties and
municipalities.
The general report Of the Commits
sion is DoW in the !lAnGg 0f the prin-
ters, and Will co,t;.in the usual gen.
eral tables and general statistics for
which these reports have reputa-
ton for remarkable completeness.

COTTON LETTER,
(By Special Telegram.)

New York, Dec. 81 p. m.-
Cotton is beginning to attract atten-
ton once more, mainly becahse of
the moderate movement.
Taking the extreme estimates so
far promulgated, we find an average
not much over eleven million bales,
and these figures cannot fail to be
looked upon as quite full until it
shall appear that there is more cot
ton to come forward than now ap-
pears probable. After all, the only
safe guide for estimating the size OF
the crop is the movement up to the
middle of December. Previous to
that date all sorts of ridiculous ex-
plantations are offered for the move
ment being small or heavy; but we
find that the receipts are usually a
true index Of the size of the crop.
This fall the explanation is that there
is scarcity of cars, scarcity of Ia
Dor and big holdings in the interior.
Just as we always hear when the
movement fails to reach expectations.
Our belief is that the car famine talk
will prove this season to be the
grossest exaggeration ever circulated
by the bear clique, and that this will
be proven when the final figures are
presented, thus confirming views of
exhaustion, as entertained in most
conservative quarters.
The early market was higher.
Cables were above expectation. The
movement promised to be light and
shorts were nervous. Liverpool was

CULLOM ANTITRUST BILL.

Since it has become certain that
President Roosevelt will not put
forth any strenuous effort to secure
the enactment of practical anti
trust law we may look for a flood OF
bills proposing with more or less
sincerity a great variety of more or
less practical remedies for the ills
which the country suffers from the
trusts.
Several such measures have been
introduced since the meeting of
Congress last Monday, one OF them
by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, which
follows the general line laid down
by Attorney General Knox some
months ago.
The Cullom bill proposes to break
up trusts by prohibiting the trans
portation from any State to any
other State or foreign country of any
article produced or manufactured by
trust.
But what is trust in the mean
ing Of this bill?
It is defined by the bill itself as
"Any person, corporation, associa-
ton, joint stock company or partner
ship organized or carrying on busi-
ness for the purpose of controlling or
monopolizing the manufacture, pro-
duction or sale of any article Of COM
merce, or for appreciably affecting
the cost of such article Of commerce
to the consumer, or for the preven-
ton of competition in the manufac-
ture, production or sale thereof"
This is certainly a very conapre-
hensive definition and will therefore
provoke the active opposition of
every trust III the land. Therefore
we shall probably hear very little
more about it.
AS was to be expected, the trusts
are very ably represented at Wash
ington. They have there a swarm
of legal advisers and a still more
numerous host of lobbyists on the
outside of Congress, to say nothing
of their more efficient adjutants and
supporters who have the advantage
OF being able to vote as we'll as TO
plead and beg for Whatever the trusts
want.
Some idea of the probability of eff
fective antitrust legislation at the
present session of Congress may be
gathered from the feet that the House
has already rejected motion to put
anthracite coal on the free list, though
the president recommended specific
ally that this be done and the Demo-
Gratis are solidly in favor Of it.
If the coal trust, the most odious
of the entire list of such abomina-
tions, is still strong enough to resist
all attacks in Congress, it would seem
that all hope of any general anti
trust enactment by the present Con- |
gress may be given up.
The first opportunity to make any
antitrust movement effective will be !
given at the national election in 1904. !

DIED SUDDENLY YESTERDAY
IN WILMINGTON.
Was Attending Conference, He Sue
cumhed to Heart Failure-Late-
ly Pastor of Trinity Church,
Durham-NeW Broken
to His Wife.
Will. Star, Dec. 7.

| Rev. w. G. Norman is dead
| No sadder news could be broken to
hundreds of his fellow ministers here
in attendance upon the North Caro-
lima Conference and to thousands of
friends in this city and in the State,
on this Sabbath morning, than is
contained in the six words with
which this notice begins.
l. Mr.. Norman died suddenly at
12:45-o'clock this morning at the
home of Mr.. T. G. Craft, No. 219
| North Seventh street, where he was
being entertained during his atten-
dance here upon the North Carolina
Conference.
Yesterday he was in Grace church
actively participating in the pro-
ceedings of the sessions of the Con-
ference; this morning be lies a corpse
at the home of very dear friend.
Mr.. Norman, although apparently en-
joying the best Of health, complained
early in the evening of suffering with
indigestion and ate no supper. He re-
manned at the home of Mr.. Craft and
conversed very pleasantly i'll the sit
ting room with Mr.. II q Walsh
and members of Mr.. Crafts family
until about 10 O'Clock, when he said
he would retire to his room. His
illness was thought to be only slight,
and, indeed, he remarked so to per
sons at Mr.. Crafts houle, but about
1880 o'clock this morning, he arose
and called to Mr.. Walsh down stairs
to go for a physician fof I!nt. I.f.
Walsh made all possible haste and
summoned DIR. d. w. BuIluck, but
the summons had hardly been an
swered and DR.. Bulluck had scarce
" arrived at the house when FIR.
Norman expired. His death was due
to heart failure.
Rev. Mr. NJ orman was universally
beloved in Wilmington, where he
served four years as pastor of Grace
Methodist church, in which the Con-
ference sessions are now being held.
From Wilmington, Mr.. Norman
went to Raleigh and served four
years as pastor Of Edenton Street
church, Of that city. Three years
ago he was sent by Conference to the
pastorate of Trinity church Durham,
and would in all probability have
been returned there for full term of
four years had not death intervened
this morning.
He leaves an estimable wife, who |
left Durham last week to visit her |
parents in Lexington, n. c., while !
Ia. y G. man Was GC.0I1asA >>.}..I1- !
ence here. Mr.. Walsh this moGniug |
was making an effort to reach some /
friends of Mrs. Norman through |
which to communicate to her the sad
news Of her husbands death. Until
she can be heard from, no funeral ar
will be made. Mr.. Nor
man leaves no children, but to his
good wife, Methodism in the State
and thousands Of friends, his death
is a sad blow.

AUTOMOBILE
Scares a Horse. Injuries a Woman
and Smashes a Buggy.

Friday afternoon about half past
three, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Trout, OF
Bloomfield township, we're driving
home on the Swonger & Marquis pike
in Washington township, when they
met two men, speeding an automobile.
The horse scared and turned the buggy
over into the ditch. Mr.. Trout held to
the horse and stopped him. and Mr..
John Kemper, in front of whose house
the accident happened, came to the
rescue. Mr.. Trout got out uninjured,
but Mrs. Trout had quite q bad cash
cut In her head. The horse was no,
hurt, but the buggy was broken In sew.
eral places. Mrs. Trout was taken into
Mr.. Kemper's and had her wound
dressed, and after the buggy was re-
paired, they proceeded on their way to
Bloom Center to have DIR. Wilson a.
tend to her injuries. The sutobobile
riders came back and were sharply u
ken to task for riding SO fast when they
passed the horse. Gentlemen should
remember the danger TO others, and dc
as they would be done by.
