men whose appearance indicated
that they had arrived at years
of discretion we1e standing at the
window where subscriptions are
taken. In passing he spoke to
one of them whom he knew
and incidentally mentioned his
name. P. w. Gillette. The other
man looked around quickly, and
asked, "Where is he?'' "Stand-

He and Gillette looked earnestly
at each other and the stranger
said to Gillette: Don't you

A young white man from the northern
section of the county walked into the
Register of Deeds office yesterday with
his face cleaning with smiles. With a

he told his mission.

What is the age of the fair damsel
IL whom you have chosen to share the

With a look of hesitancy on his coun-
terance, he said: Just eighteen"
Mr.. Hood questioned the young man
very particularly and asked him if he had
the written consent of the girls parents.
The smiling face then turned to one of
tallow candle hue as he uttered the
words, ''No." Mr.. Hood then told him he
could not issue the license. With a sur
rrised look and a feeling of disappointment
he wendell his way out of the office. 1t
was learned from another source that the
young man intended stealing his bride to-

REDUCE RATE
A Valuable Suggestion for
Wake is Made by Mr..
AIf. A. Thompson,

To the Editor For several weeks our
people have been exercised over the IN
creased valuation of property. Many of
them have appeared before the Board OF
Equalization, urging a reduction. All of
them feel that values put upon the prop
erty is every cent it would bring under
favorable circumstances.
The total increase, l am informed, is
about % per cent over the assessment
four years ago, and if the rate remains
the same the increase to State, county and
city will be just that much larger than
last year.
I would suggest that the rate wherever
possible, be reduced 25 per cent, and that
the Board of County Commissioners and
the Board of Aldermen be petitioned, to do
this.
The payment of the old rate on the new
assessment will be extremely burdensome
and if the authorities can see their way
clear to afford the relief suggested, an
sure ~ will receive the hearty thanks
of their constituents.
Very truly,
ALF. A. THOMPSON.
