SILVER COMMISSIONERS WORK.

The statement made by Hugh H.
Hanna, of the commission appointed
to draft plan for putting Mexico
and China on basis Of stable ex-
change with gold standard countries.
that its work will be the most I'M.
portant step now possible in the field
OF international commerce." is by no
means an exaggerated estimate, says
the Wall street journal. Mexico and
China are now the greatest independ-
emit silver countries in the world, and
if they are to obtain that development
Of their material resources and COM
merce which is so important, they
must put their money on basis
that will make the rates of exchange !,
with gold countries more stable. As
it is, the fluctuations are SO frequent
and wise as to cause the greatest
confusion to merchants doing business
with them, and thus greatly reduce
the volume Of their commerce.
OF special importance is this to the
United States, which has already SO
large an interest in both countries,
and which is destined immensely in
increase its interest in them. American
capital is already flowing into Mexico
in large volume, and the Mexican rail-
roads are, for the most part .Ameci-
can investments, and inevitably con-
nected with our railway systems.
AS to China the United States, in
company with the other commercial
nations of the world, is preparing to
enter the opening door Of that vast
territory, which, with it's teeming pop
ulation and it's unknown wealth Of
mines, offers opportunities that are
beyond calculation. Already in the
Philippines we are on the very thres-
hold of the door, and as soon as the
project of an Isthimian canal is COM
pleted we shall be even better pre-
pared to take full advantage of this
enormous market.
AS a preliminary to this develop
ment it is essential that the money
system of China and Mexico should
be put on a stable basis, This is as
important to Mexico and China as it
is to the countries doing business with
lnem. In fact, it is from them that
the request for the commission came
How the commission will reconcile
the necessity for a silver currency
in Mexico and China with the frst
requirement of a stable rate of ex
change, namely, a gold standard basis
will be fully disclosed by it's report
The commission is composed of able
members, who have undoubtedly done
their work we'll. Mr.. Hanna, who has
SO high a reputation in this country
because of his services in behalf OIL
financial reform, says that the results
attained are very gratifying, and thai
seems to be an ample assurance.

1T MEANS $4,000
SAVED.
Com. Young Says That is
What insurance Rate Re-
duCtiOn Amounts to,

Insurance Commissioner James r.
Young was asked yesterday by a News
and Observer reporter what the recent
reduction OF Is per cent on the rates
for fire insurance risks in North Caro-
lima would amount to.
1T Will amount" said Mr.. Young, TO
a reduction Of from 80 cents to $3.50 a
thousand on all mercantile risks in the
State.
The total reduction; that is, the ag-
gregate amount gained on all mercantile
insurance throughout the State, will be
between thirty and forty thousand dol
lars.
There will be some reduction also on
special hazards" continued Mr.. Young,
land altogether that will make the re-
duction on preferred business and mer-
camille business combined about 1925 goo.
That means that If we were to issue
the coming year the same amount OF in
surance that we issued last year, we
would pay 1925, 600 more on it than we
will now pay, provided We We're paying
on the same basis as the other States
This reduction in fire insurance rates
for North Carolina is a result of the
efforts Of our Insurance Commissioner,
and is a recognition of our effective in
surance laws as compared with those
of other Southern States.

The Garden of Gods.

The paragon of all illusion shows, in
comparable in its beauty of presentation
and startling in the realism of that which
seems to be but is not, is the Garden
Of the Gods, which will be seen this
season with the great Gaskill-Mundy-
Levitt Carnival Company 1t will be here
as one of the many fine features of the
Carnival and will doubtless prove the
star attraction of the merry midway. 1t
is presented in a vast canvas pavilion,
behind the most g~orgeously carved. eild-
cd and decorated front that has ever been
seen in this country, which at night is
most gorgeously Illuminated with thous-
ands Of ircandescent lights of every col
or of the rainbow. On the spacious in
terror is found the many truly wonderful
surprises that await the visitor. There
the beautiful story Of Pygmalion and
Galatea is unfolded in real life and the
marble statue of the love lorn artist turns
to life before the very eyes Of the au-
dience, there the babe in the cradle grows
rapidly through life's seven ages and
fades at last into the skeleton which
marks the final destiny of man, there the
garden sown in rough ground before the
eyes OF the audience apparently blossoms
into life and beauty and in a few short
moments the beautiful flowers have at
tanned full maturity and are BLOOMING
and distributing their fragrance on the
ambient air. The exciting decapitation
scene in which a beautiful young wo-
man is be-headed before the audience
and then in a moment restored to life.

great steel safe, which he leaves or en-
ters at Will after it has been closed and

maiden, who suddenly appears from no
where, apparently, and floats in the air
like a gauzy sylph. Many more o~ntranc-
ing surprises Will be found in the Gar
den of the Gods, which has been well
named for nowhere else could there be
seen such mystic sights, such soul
stirring illusions and such delightful pic
lures as are there presented. Don't miss

POLL TAX QUESTION
Attorney. General Says 'ax
for 1902 Must be Paid.
Inc Law Interpreted 10 Apply 10 The Poll Tax
for 1902, SO lar as the 1893 Elections
are Concerned.

The opinion OF the Attorney General
has been requested with reference 10
the poll tax required to be paid by a
voter before he is eligible to vote in the
coming municipal elections. The follow
ing extracts are taken from it:
Section 4, article G OF the Constitu-
tiun declares III before any elector
shall be entitled to vote, he shall have
paid on or before the first day OF May
OF the year in which he proposes to vote,
his poll tax for the previous year. as
prescribed by article 5, section / of the
Constitution
I'll question submitted is. does this
provision relate to the poll tax OF 1902
or to that of 1901? The answer depends
upon the meaning of the expression the
previous year as used in the Constitu-
ton.
"All taxes are due on the 1st Monday
in September IN each year. The law re-
Quires the sheriff or other accounting
officer to settle the State taxes on or
before the second Monday in January in
each year :
THE foregoing references to the stat
utes are made for the purpose of showing
that the poll tax for the year previous to
1903 became due on the first day af
September, 1902, and is supposed to be
collected or returned on the insolvent list
in time for the sheriff or other account
ing officer to make his settlement with
the State authorities on Or before the
second Monday in January, 1903.
"Tne general law governing the pay
! ment Of poll tax obtains in municipal
elections, and elections conducted in
municipalities should conform to the pro
visions Of the Constitution
The opinion then refers to some de-
cisions Of the Supreme court of Mis-
souri, holding that certain special cleo
lions for the purposes Of local taxation
should be conducted il accordance with
the general Australian ballot system
which prevailed in that State, and con-
cludes as follows:
The same provisions Of law, there
fore relating to the payment Of poll tax
for general elections will apply to NUM-
cipal elections, and I am Of the opinion
that an ~elector in order to be permit
ted to vote in such elections must have
paid his poll tax for the year 1902 on or
before the 1st day of May Of that year"
1t is understood that the question was
submitted by parties residing in Ashe-
Vile, Shelby and Hickory.

Crops in the East.

DR.. B. w. Kilgore, the State Chemist,
who has just returned from a trip to
the Experiment Farm in Edgecombe, says
the work there is very satisfactory, and
that everything is getting on first-rate. A
good deal of corn is planted, and some
cotton. Tobacco plants are very far ad-
vanced, and many are large enough to set
out now. Grain is being attacked very
badly, he says, by rust. 1t was extremely
promising until two weeks ago. In the
southeastern part Of the State it is worse
than in the northeastern section. He
says shipments Of strawberries are enor-
NOUS. The other day twenty-nine car
loads We're re-iced at Rocky Mount.

NAY LOSE ARM ALSO.
Frank Blake of Wadesboro Lost Leg and May
Lose an Arm.

With a leg amputated and fearing that
an arm may have to be taken off, Mr..
Frank Flake, a young white man about
nineteen years old, was yesterday
brought to Rex Hospital from Wadesboro.
He was terribly injured a few weeks
ago when he was run over by some
freight cars at Wadesboro. He was not
an employee of the road, but was on. top
of some cars and when these broke loose
fell between thegl and was terribly
crushed. His leg had to be amputated
just below his knee and his arm was
badly mashed, and he was brought here
with the hopes that it might be saved.
At one o'clock this mroning no amputa :
ton had yet been made, though it IS
feared this may be necessary.

He and family did all the work, except
$1.39 paid for extra labor. He paid 500
rent. Mr.. Daniel is very conservative in
his calculations. He sold part of his
cotton at ten cents, but puts it all down
at 8 cents. He puts down the peas at
Is cents when he can get so cents for
them. But for the slump in tobacco Mr..
Daniel would nave received 5000 more
than he did. He actually made a trade
with a tobacco man to sell his crop for
81 500, but when the slump came in the
price of tobacco the tobacco man back
ed out and he sold it on the market for
$1,300-79. He sold part Of his cotton
seed at 30 cents and part at 27A cents,
but put them down at 25 cents. He also
made GAO pounds Of meat.
For guano Mr.. Daniel expended not
