Messrs. j. c. Harper, NJ. S. Griffin and
b. H. Sorshy who constitute the board of
assessors for Nashville township have
been most faithfully performing the re-
sponsible duties devolved upon them and
report most thorough and satisfactory
conditions than have existed in years.
Very few land owners have failed to list
their property and the values placed upon
real and personal property by the owners
themselves are much higher than has been
the custom in the past. This means much
for the township and county.
The custom once practiced by many
property owners who would in listing their
taxes, undervalue their property seems
to have been discarded this year. Lands.
cattle, farming implements, ETC., are list
I'd at nearer their real value than ever
before, and very little effort is being
made to dodge this important matter.

An APPROPRIATE SENTIMENT

We are told that on this glorious day
the President is to open the new Pacific
Gable service with message to Governor
Taft, and that he will send "a sentiment
appropriate to the day" The New York
World says that naturally the sentiment
will begin like this:
I'VE hold these truths to be sclf-evi-
dent. that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inahenable rights; that
Namong these are life, liberty and the pur-
sc4~of happiness. That to secure these
rights governments are instituted among
men. deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed
Unless he sends some such message as
this. he ought not to profane the day.
The World suggests that it might be bet
lei to postpone opening the cable until
the birthday of George III. The policy
Mr.. Roosevelt is pursuing in the Philip
pines is along the same line that George
III. pursued toward these colonies that
called from Jefferson the immortal words
that have made America the inspiration
of all men struggling for liberty until we
bought shooting privileges in the Phil
iIpines.

T of education viii prompt them to grant
the request of the aluInnae and the only
district conference that has met since the
purposed closing of the doors was made
public. In granting this reasonable and
proper request, the owners of the college
can lose nothing. The property is to-day
worth $4,000 whereas it has cost them
only $4,000. If the next year should
show a loss, that would be more than met
by the steadily approaching value of the
property. If it is worth $4,000 to-day it
will be worth 100000 in the near future,
tor Greensboros steady growth will con
tinue to enhance its value Thirty or six

the women of North Carolina. Brought
face to face with the proposition of closing
up the institution, progressive Greensboro

blessed ministrations of an institution that
has been an elevating influence in North
Carolina for many years.
To the owners of the college: Do not
let the college close. Make announcement at
once that it will be open as usual this fall.
Follow this suggestion made by alumnae
and other friends of the college, and you
will rejoice in your action during all your

THE IMPORTANCE OF A GONNA

Many people have been troubled about
the seeming conflict of veracity between
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Bailey growing
out of the now famous repudiated. inter
view. 1t remains for the ingenuity of the
Charlotte News to offer an explanation
that makes them both right and leaves
no bad taste in anybody's mouth-the
very thing everybody wishes done. Here
is the way the News reconciles the differ
ent understandings:
It has already been suggested in The
News, that the Bailey interview and the
Cleveland rebuke Of it were the result of
i misunderstanding. The exact words of
Mr. Cleveland's letter to Mr.. Bailey full
" bear out the supposition. Mr.. Cleve-
land wrote: Il have received your let
ter Of the 4th instant, suggesting visit
to my home on your way to New York in
behalf of your paper Mr.. Cleveland
evidently meant that Mr. Bailey had
spoken of going from Washington to New
York ''on behalf of his paper while Mr..
Bailey understood an invitation to visit
Mr.. Cleveland In behalf of the paper. The
editor of the Dallas paper was an old
friend Of Mr.. Cleveland, and Mr.. Cleve-
land was hospitable to his representative.
Then he thought that his hospitality had
been abused and his privacy invaded by a
guest in his home, and the old man got
hot IN the collar and rushed into print
himself The only moral is the value of
clear writing and the usefulness of a
comma. z
What better Office for an editor than to
find way to reconcile differences!

ANOTHER BLOODY SHIRT WAIVER

Senator-elect Hopkins. of Illinois, has
made saving the air in blatant bloody
shirt speech Instead of addressing hir..
self to giving protection to negroes who
are not permitted to work in his own
State. he Illuminated against the South.
He declared that he had served with ne
groes of ability in Congress, and added:
1T is a shame and a disgrace to these
States that there are no longer men of
color in their Congressional delegations
1T is a shame to the nation that the
hewers of wood and the drawers of water
In those States are not represented by
men of their own class, and until public
sentiment shall be aroused and these
States return negroes to Congress, it viii
continue to be a disgrace to the people
of the United States
II it is shame and disgrace that ne.
groes are not elected to Congress. Mr..
Hopkins can put an end to such shame By
resigning his seat and giving it to a negro,
or he can elect a negro from Illinois.
The Republican party could not carry
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New jersey ar
New York without the negro vote. why
not elect one negro from one Of these
States?
The speech of Senator Hopkins is one Of
many evidences that we will shortly have
a return to a bloody-shirt waving cam
paign. 1t may make another Republican
Congress. but it will not send negroes TO
