THE DUTY OF TAX ASSESSORS.
Chatham Observer.
Hon. f. c. Beddingfield member of the
Corporation Commission, made an inter
csting talk to the tax assessors here
yesterday. He says there are some coun-
ties in the State where there are as
much as $4,000 acres of land not listed
at all for taxation. In 1901 there Were
4So,7 acres listed ia this county Last
year there were only 64,204, a difference
of 1929 acres. This is strange shrink
age in one year. Where did it go to?
Did the listers fail to do their duty last
year? The land owners are not the only
ones that failed to list their property.
Two of the largest corporations in the
county have been listed at half value
according to the best estimate that can
be given. There is no disposition to
make taxes higher but every person
ought to pay his share so that the bur
dens of taxation will rest equally on
all and not allow some to escape while
others pay the taxes. Mr.. Beddingfeld
told the assessors that they had moth
ing to do with whether the taxes were
lowered or raised but it was their duty
to assess all property at it's real value
regardless of neither it raised or lowered
taxes.

THE DECISION IN THE ALABAMA
CASE.

Until the full text of the decision can
he read and digested, it is too soon to es-
innate the effect OF the Supreme Court
decision as to the Alabama suffrage
amendment to its constitution. 1t is
known that the court refused to grant
the petition of the Alabama negro
Glass to have his name and the names of
5000 other negroes placed on the regis
tration books, the court holding it to be
beyond the power of court of equity to
grant the petition. Justice Harlan dis
sented. 1t seems that the ground of his
dissent was because the court, declaring
it had not jurisdiction, considered the
question at all. If his dissent goes no
further, it is important, because it con-
firms the Southern contention that there
is no jurisdiction in the Federal court.
Justices Brown and Brewer dissentcd
upon the ground that the court has juris-
diction, a Federal question being in
volved.
1t is to be hoped. when the opinion can
be read and studied. that It will declare
that no Federal question is involved
Every interest of the Republic will be
promoted by leaving the Southern States
to work out the suffrage problem in tho
ways they have adopted in North Caro-
lima Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina
Mississippi and Louisiana. Peace, quiet
political rest good government better
schools and just administration have fol
lowed the laws that purify suffrage. To
disturb such conditions would be TO wrong
the South UNNECESSARILY and to do NJ
good TO the negro

A NOBLE EUL0eY.

Reference was made in the editorial
correspondence of this paper yesterday
OF the noble eulogy of the late DR..
Curry made in Richmond on Sunday
night by DR.. Edwin A. Alderman. presi-
dent of Tulane University. We pub
lish the full text in today's paper. It
will be read with pleasure and inter
est by every educator in the State and
by every reader who loves an eloquent
masterpiece. As stated yesterday he
made a profound impression upon the
great throng that heard 1t. 1t will make no
less impression upon all who read it, for
its stately sentences and uplifting thought
do not need the charm of polished
style to lend il interest, though, OF
course. the reader will miss the enthu
siasm and thrill which the orator gave
to the glowing tributes. The Richmond
News writing of DR.. Alderman and his
pration says;
DIR. Alderman is a young man be-
side the Northern lights in this congre-
cation of thinkers and students of the
best means of benefitting humanity in
this part of the country.
1T was said of Editor McKelway, of
Brooklyn, that every line of his speech
here weighed a ton. but there is no
such homely measure for the words of
the New Orleans man. His every word
may have weighed a ton or less than
ton, but no word of his missed the mark.
They were aimed at striking where they
would weld Northern and Southern
hearts and, with all of his magnificent
forensic efforts, never once did he miss
the target.
'Dr. Alderman shows the French influ-
cncc in his voice. 1t is soft-toned but
effective. He is a Louisianian, rich in
sentiment, passionate in his likes and in
tellectual giant enough to hide his dis
likes Every sentence he has uttered
in this conference has been fruitful in
wisdom and humanity to Northerner and
Southerner alike.
Ills eulogy to DR.. Curry was, there
fore, awaited with deepest interest, and
it's impression on the magnificent au-
dience that heard 1t was profound"
The writer of the above made no mistake
except in attributing DR.. Alderman's
..soft-toned but effective voice TO the
..French influence" 1t is a product of the
North Carolina climate and environment
growing into greater perfection under the
warmer skies Of Louisiana.
