and only about $237 had been collected.
In 1902 $2,447.69 had been collected.
Governor Doughton said it was not
an agraran tax. 1t was not an anarchistic
tax. 1t was not populistic tax 1t
was a Democratic, and if you please,
Republican tax.
He then read brief on the subject,
eIumerating the various countries of
Europe where the tax existed. In North
Carolina it had been first introduced in
1886 Nearly all the States of the Union
had the law.
1t must be conceded that a great deal
of personal property never pays any tax
except in this law.
When a man dies without a will, it is
only by means of the State that his
heirs get his property. The State gives
II 10 them, and only asks this small tax
IN return.
New York derives one-quarter of her
.1tire revenue from this tax, $4,000. goo
ore han twice as much as we raise
Eroa an sources.
GUS rate is very moderate in com
par ~ w h the other States, and the
smout IS very humane and reasonable.
No IL appeared before the Finance
Committee and said this was an unjust
law. But it was said that those who
stood in the relation of children should
be taxed just as though they were chill
dren. This had been incorporated in
the law this year.
Every class of people tried to dodge
some kind of taxation. This was no
more unjust than any other kind of taxa
ton.
DR.. Alexander, of Mecklenburg, favor
ed the tax He cited cases known to
him where relatives had never paid any
attention to property holders until after
they died, when they appeared and claim
ed the property Then, In another case
large amount of money had gone out
of the State
1t was not burdensome tax. Inherit
ed of money came to man without
any labor whatever on his part, and he
ought to be willing to pay small por-
tion of it to the State, especially when
the law exempted all amounts under
two thousand dollars.
Mr. Britain contended that the tax
was burdenson1e. In most cases, ne de-
clared the heirs had worked hard all
their lives to help their parents make
little money to leave behind them. In
England it was only the very large
estates that bore the burden of the tax,
and the small estates were not taxed at
all.
Section 6, regarding inheritance tax,
was then adopted. Mr.. Britain regis
tered bis written protest.
The tax falls only upon personal prop
eGty ovtr $4,000, and distributiyc legacies
from $1,000 to 1000
The Hte for nephew or neicc is $3.50
on cvey 800, for an uncle or aunt or
descendant of uncle or aunt $500, for

A Negro Commits Suicide.

(Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer.)
Last Thursday afternoon John Lockhart,
colored aged about 43 years, committed
suicide at the home of Charles Tillman,
colored, who lives on the Ansonville road.
five miles from town. Lockhart went to
Tillman's house and told his wife (Charles
Tlllman was not at home) that he had seen
a large rattlesnake a short distance from
the house, and asked her to let him have
a gun to kill it with. The woman gave
him her husbands gun and went back in
the house for her bonnet, intending to go
with LOckhart to see him kill the snake
AS soon as the woman turned her back
Lockhart placed the butt of the gun
against a small piece of wood in the yard
and the muzzle against his left breast
Having alreaedy cooked the gun, he push
ed the trigger with a stick he held in
his hand, discharging it, and sending the
entire load of squirrel shot through his
heart, killing him instantly.

In drive over the city we get pic

More beautiful streets, more attractive
stores and grander scenery this scribe
never saw. AS the mountains are about
Jerusalem so are they about Florence,
the one the capital of religion, the other
the capital of art. We were pleased to
see the solid brick building in which
Dante was born, the Tower of Calico
Where Calico sat at night to take
The vision of the stars
and the villa of Calico where he spent his
closing year, and where he received a visit
from Milton when old and blind. These
immortals both became blind that they
might see less of earth and more of heav-
en-. Providence by closing earth to them
opened heaven to them and us.
Having seen Naples, Rome, Florence,
Vanice and Milan-the five great cities
OF Italy-we are compelled to say that
this is the flower of cities and the city
of flowers-flowers in stone.
The Campanile alone would immortalize
this city, rising tower four square of
variegated marble 292 feet high. covered
with tablets, reliefs an statues, glisten-
ing in the clear sunlight, is, as Ruskin
says. a blending of Power and Beauty
found in no other building in the world
the model and mission of perfect ar
chitecture."
