no sUCH INTENTION,
5hurch Property is Listed in This State Only
for Statistical Reasons

The Christian Sun, of Elon College, says
in the course of an editorial on Taxing
Church Property:
I'VE have been little puzzled to know
the real cause for assessing al church
property in North Carolina. By an act
of the last Legislature all list takers and
assessors were required in June to assess
all churches and property owned by
churches just as other property. Is 1t
the first step towards the taxing of church
property, or is it a requirement to see
what is the value of church property IN
the State? 1t is our opinion that 1T is a
move looking to the ultimate taxing OF
church property
The News and Observer reporter Is IN
formed by the Corporation Commission
that there is no intention OF taxing
church property in the future IN this
State. The object of listing church prop
erty is merely in the interest of statistics.
1t is desired to see just how much eX-
cmpted property there is in North Caro-
lima.

TOBACCO CUT AGAIN
BY TRUST.
Two Dollars a Hundred Lower
Than on Opening Day OF
This Market.

Tobacco has fallen two dollars a hun
dred within the last few days, or since
the opening of the markets WREN the
price was below the cost of production.
The trust buyers have received orders to
cut still lower. The trust is Infatuated
because the people will not kiss the hand
that smites, and makes another whack at
the starvation prices it has put IN opera
ton. One more whack in the price Will
not leave enough money to pay ware
house charges.
The need for united action by farmers,
merchants and others in the tobacco sec
lions is emphasized. The trust seems de
termined to have this crop OF tobacco toI
a song The farmers can afford to pack
it away and keep it until another season
rather than give it away and contribute
to the trusts ability to destroy them. It
will not depreciate in value if properly
packed and put away.
The trust cannot control all other crops,
Farmers can make their own supplies,
raise chickens, make cotton, and diversity
their crops, and refuse to buy any Of the
product of the trust. The people will join
them in initiating the forefathers, who
refused to use British tea because of the
unjust tax 1t may take a long time to
win the fight, but the farmers alone and
single handed whipped the cotton bagging
trust. They can, with the aid of the mer-
chants, have the trust on their knees
within two years. But they can do moth
ing if they sell tobacco at present prices,
buy trust products, or plant big to-
bacco crop next year.

minutes after Mr.. Sale first saw her.
Yesterday afternoon the body was
buried in the lot at the County Home,
at the expense of the county.
Yesterday afternoon DR.. McCullers visi-
ted the Hill house, and found that Tom
Hill, young colored man. had just had
a chill and severe headache, and he is
confident this is the beginning of an
other case in that house.
DR.. McCullers stated last night, after
consulting with I'M. Green, that Tom
Hill would be removed with the whole
Hill family early this morning to the
County Home, where they will be inso-
lated in a house to themselves.

Food Makes Them Good or Bad.
Saturate the human body with strong
coffee and it will in time show in the COM
plexion of the coffee drinker.
This is caused by the action of coffee
on the liver. thus throwing part OF the
bile into the blood. Coffee compilations
are sallow and muddy and will stay that
way until coffee IL given up entirely.
The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink

years an inveterate coffee drInker ana 1t

pIetely saturated myself with this drug
that my complexion toward the last be-
