THE RAILROAD VALUATION.

4 greet deal OF fault is being found
with the valuation placed on the rail.
road by tue State Board OF Assessors.
Those who criticise the action OF the
Board overlook the fact that other prop
erty in the State Ii assessed on the same
basis. II is doubtless true that the val.
uation placed upon the railroad Is far
below it's actual cash value, but the
came Is true OF the valuations placed
upon other property, with the possible
exception OF stock cattle. The INDIE
PENDENT connot see the justice in jam
ming the railroad up to he limit and
letting fully one-half IL the other prop
erty in the State escape taxation.
IL the preseuts system OF assessing
property does not bring satisfactory re.
suits, the Legislature that meets next
Monday should provide IA system that
will. The last legislature made n start
in the right direction and it's successor
should keep up the good work. The
duties OF the assessors should be plainly
sell forth and heavy penalties should be
prescribed for failure to perform them.
Experience has proved that the State
Board OF Assessors. rs ut present consti-
tuted, is n failure. This part Of the law
should be amended and IL Board created
with sufficient powers to accomplish
something Tor the State.
II the Legislature takes hold Of the
matter i'll the proper spirit, n law will
lie passed that will deal justly with NIL
species Of property and the assessed
valuation Of the State can DO doubled
without injustice to any corporation OF
individual.

REMARkABLE CAREER TO
END ON GALLoWS FRIDAY

Norfolk, Va. Sept. 23.--With the
execution of Clifton Branham. which
lakes place at Wise Court House
Friday, "a remarkable career will be
brought TO a close. Branham was con-
7i"tod OF the murder of his blind
wife. He is only forty years old. but
in that time he has managed to be
farmer, trapper, woodsman, preach
er. and twice murderer. About 20
years ago Branl1am sllot ana killed
Ienry Vanover in Letcher county, Ky.
After serving dozen or more years
of a ninety-nine years sentence he
was given an unconditional pardon
by Governor Beckham. Returning to
his home in Wise county he found
that his daughter had married dur
ing his Imprisonment, and there was
a row between Branham and his son
in-law. In the fight that ensued
Mrs. Branham interferred and was
shot and killed by her husband. The
latter fed to Kentucky but was soon
captured near Lexington and returned
to the scene of his crime, where he
was tried and convicted.

1t was announced some time ago
that the building would, in all prob
ability, be completed by November
80 The contractors were then max
ing good headway. but it seems that
the estimate on the time needed in
which to complete the structure was
underestimate and there is over
three months work on the building.
AS is we'll known, work on the
handsome structure has been delayed
from time to time owing to the fact
THAI material could net be / secured
as quickly as needed by the contract
ors. There have been many delays:
the cornice work of the building tooE
a tumble and caused a set back oi
several weeks and there have been
other delays,

STATE FIGURES FOR THE
OTHER PROPERTY ACCEPTED
Coast Line Returns its Franchise at
$1,13o,922; Its Tangible Prop.
cry is Placed by Arbitrtors
at So, 185,416.

The Atlantic Coast Line knows now
Just how just how much taxes it viii
have to pay to the state of Georgia
this year
1t also knows just about how much
it Is worth when placed ON a general
valuation.
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution of yesterday will be OF
general interest here:
The Atlantic Coast Lines frau
chise roturn has been more TIL an
doubled by the arbitrators and the
assessment of the tangible property
stands practically as fixed by the
comptroller general.
The arbitrators made up their
award late yesterday afternoon after
a three days hearing submitting the
figures to Comptroller General Wright
just as he was leaving the office for
the night
The arbitrators in the case were
&. Gunby Gordon, for the state;C. z.
Goodyear, for the railroad, and for
mer governor, Allen d. Gambler, UNI
pre-.
The return made by the railroad
placed valuation Of $G,96l, 447 ON tho
tangible property and $1,130922 on
the franchise the total being$8 ,O92-
800 or $12,135 a mile for the 6G6 l 10
miles OF trackage owned by the road
In this Gtate.
The comptroller general refused 20
accept this return and assessed the
property himself, increasing the val
uation of the tangible property 10
$8,251 Al, or $19,387 a mile.
The road objected to this assess
mont and the arbitrators were ap-
pointed, selecting. ex Governor Can
der rs umpire.
The first meeting of the board was
held in the Office of the railroad com
mission on Friday morning followed
which the hearing was continued un-
til yesterday, when they concluded
the hearing on the testimony and ar.
gument during the morning and met
in the afternoon to make their award.
In the argument the state was rep
resented by Attorney General Hart
and the railroad by Fleming du Big
non.
The award placed a valuation OF
$8,185.4lG an the tangible property
and $2,46t570 on the franchise This
left the assessment on the tangible
property practically intact but cut tIe
assessment on the franchise nearly
in two. The rate per mile under tho
award is SIS, 5,98384

is Camden's turn in the rotation sys-

seems to be pretty well understood
that the millionaire son of the late
George Carnegie and nephew of the
famous Andrew. Carnegie. will be the
candidate tor this place Mrs. Lucy
Carnegie. mother OF William. is the
owner iof historical Dungeness. aud
has Been most liberal in her treatment

employees 200 men with an average
pay roll OF ten Thousand dollars per
month, This army of artisans are
used in beautifying and keeping in
perfect condition the buildings, and
grounds of the Carnegie castle at
Dungerness.
Young William, the prospective can
didate for the Georgia senate. has a
beautiful home at Dungerness and for
several years has been a legal as
well as a bona fide resident of Geor-
gia. In the event of his election TO
the Georgia senate he will probably
be the wealthiest member of any stat
legislature in the south, if not in the
United States. Mr.. Carnegie has al
ways had strong republican, tenden-
cies. but is understood that he has
renounced his allegiance thereto and
will be candidate ON an indepen-
dant ticket with strong democratic
attendancas. Mr.. Carnegie is very
popular in Glynn. Camden and Charl-
ton counties which compose the
Fourth district.
1t is hardly thought that there will
be amy opposition to Mr.. Carnegie
if he becomes a candidate. as it Is
Camden's turn to name the senator
and the people of that county are
well pleased with him.
