St. Patrick's Day.

Yesterday was Saint Patrick's Day, the
great holiday of the Irish nativity. No
special exercises We're held in Raleigh
and the only reminder of the day was a
green shamrock worn by many citizens
of Raleigh. The shamrock is the ma
tional flower of the Irishman. One citi-

cured.

Eczema, Erysipelas, Itching Piles,
letter, Barber's Itch, Salt Rheum,
Ring Worm and all diseases of the
skin have positively been cured by
the astonishingly effective new
D. D. 0. prescription.
If you have any affection of the
skin you want to be rid of 1t.
Don't think because you have
failed to be cured by the countless
blood remedies and skin prepare
tons you have taken that you can
not be cured. The makers of these
remedies have simply failed to
understand the nature of skin di-
seases. They have worked on the
theory that skin diseases are due
to poisoned blood, when in reality
all skin diseases are but the mani
festatlon Of the activity Of a living
foreign parasite, which can be
quickly and easily cleared away.
Results count. We have made
thousands of wretched people
happy by clearing up their skins,
once and for all, of disgusting
irritating diseases.

No MORE FRICTION
Business Men and Manufac-
turers Like Revenue Law.
The Changes That They Asked We're Made by
the General Assembly Of
1903,

Speaking yesterday about the charges
made by the Legislature of 1903 in the
Revenue and Machinery Acts, Mr.. James
II. Pou, who had made an examination Of
them as they affected corporations and
business men. said:
1.-TWO years ago a number of clauses
were put in the Revenue Bill, which
caused some friction and might have
caused some trouble. All those to which
any one could reasonably object have
been stricken out. No county or town Il
permitted now to levy a franchise tax
upon corporations as this was regarded
as a function of the State. The state
still collects it every year and there is
no complaint about this. Again, the list
the taxpayer gives in in June have their
questions so arranged that where a man
owns stock in a corporation, which pays
its tax, he is not required to give IN
that stock. Corporations are required to
make all the reports required OF them
by the law of 1901, but the officer re-
ceiying these reports are required to re-
ceive them confdentially. These Officers
wisely ruled that this information was
confidential and refused to give 1T out.
Men who own n~on-taxable property, such
as United States and State bonds, are
not required to list the amount they re-
ceive from them, as it is supposed this
income is not taxable A man is not re-
CURED to state what his income is un-
less that income exceeds 81 coo. The Tax
Commission had not enforced rigIdly the
law Of two years ago which required
everybody to state how much he received
from his wages, salary or fees, and only
III -. - n mona
when the income exceeded 81, 900. Tlelr
wise construction Of that law has now
been embodied in the statute. The method
Of listing land has also been changed TO
the old law of 1899. That is, the land
is not to be assessed in one column, i'm
provelnents in another, and then the sums
added in q third, but the assessor must
consider. all the lements of value and
assess what they think is right. Tho
cotton mill owners asked the privilege
of going out of the State for certain
classes OF insurance and this privilege
was given them on condition that they
pay to the State all taxes and license,
which the company would have to pay il
it entered the State. And the labor laws
We're the result of a compromise salts

After expressing the wish that his body
be given a decent burial and diecting that
all of his just accounts be paid, he then
dispOSeS OF his estate as follows: Il
give, device, bequeath unto my beloved
wife al of my property, both real and

her as she may, in her judgment, think
proper, having entire confidence in her

executor in case of his wife's death be-
foe his own. The Citizens Savings Bank

ings Of his death. North Carolina teach
ers all over the State have mourned
their irreparable loss, while honoring and
blessing the memory of 4 friend upon
whose like indeed they feel they shall
not look again.
With him the earnest zeal for the dis
semination Of knowledge was Unborn and
hereditary. The daily correction of Gull
tured parents, and the refined associa-
tons of his home fostered his taste for
educational work and ever strengthened
him in its successful prosecution, while
he gave himself, his means and his tai
ents unreserycdly to the principles ne
%espoused.
In his labors in behalf of the teach
erS of our State he was actuated by no
thought Of the enduring memorial that
he was preparing for himself. yet to-day
he IS recognized as the pioneer of the
great educational awakening which is,
year by year, Frightening to larger
issues. His philanthropy in connection
with the building of a permanent sum-
mcr home for teachers rams as true as
that which expresses itself in the found
ing Of hospitals and asylums. All of self
was cffaced in his plans to secure for
those weary of mind and body he de-
lights Of a salubrious seaside retreat and
the stimulating contact with the most
eminent minds Of America. His rare
tact and t~ireless energy combined, with
unusual executive ability made this pos
slple, year after year, for hundreds Of
teachers whose meagre salaries would
ordinarily have utterly debarred them
from such privileges.
Up to the time when his health a

and the trusted personal friend of each
individual teacher. No man ever wrought
in SO large a field of usefulness without
