After a debate of nearly an hour, the
compromise was adopted with an
amendment providing that instead of
bishops granting Il license for the re

divorce for infidelity, one year after
the civil court has ISSUED its decree,
they Shall merely give a written opin-
ion that the applicant for re-marriage
conforms to the requirements of the
canon. providing all the evidence in the
case has been satisfactory.
The bishops also amended the clause
regarding the administration of the
sacraments of baptism, confirmation
and Holy Communion to persons where
there is a doubt as to the regularity of
marriage. Specific reference to the
innocent person who has remarked
made by the deputies was stricken out.

LYNCHING STATISTICS.
The Decrease From Eleven Years Ago
is One Hundred and Thirty-one.

A well-informed gentleman of Raj
eigh who has recently had occasion
to collate the statistics for dozen or
more years as regards the lynchings
that occur from time to time through
out the country furnishes the follow
ing summary, which shows decrease
that is remarkable in view OF the
violent discussion that has ragged
around the question during the past
few years.
The banner year-if it could be SO
called-was that of 1872, during
which the number of persons lynched
i'm all parts of the country numbered
235: in 1898 the number had decreas-
ed to 200 and a further steady de-
crease was recorded until 1902 when
the minimum of only 92 lynchings
was recorded. During 1908 there
was a slight increase, the number OF
those who died without the pale OF
the law being in that year 1O4.
OF the later statistics 1T may be IN
teresting to note that of the "a VINO
were lynched, IL were charged with
criminal assault, 10 with attempted
assault and 3 suffered the penalty OF
identity.
The divisions as to sections is, IN
the North II and in the South 81
lynchings during 1908, showing
that, considering the predominance OF
the negro i'm the South. is one by
no means unworthy of the growing
sentiment of conservatism and toler-
ance in the last named section.

Confusion rs to State Tax.

State Auditor =. f. Dixon was more
or less ruffled from out his usual calm
Yesterday morning by the failure Of
certain merchants throughout the
State to understand the provision OF
law which taxes the excess of the
value of CAPITAL stock of a corporation
over the assessed valuation of the
company's real and personal prop
erty. Thine matter is a very simple
one: the property of a corporation is,
of course. listed in every county in
which it exists and the State tax is
on the difference, in excess, between
the value of the capital stock and the
property SO listed, the valuation OF the
capital stock to be returned to the
State Auditor by the proper officers
of the corporation.
Despite the plain provision of the
law, some confusion seems to have
arisen and the Auditor is daily in re-
ceipt Of letters asoking fir fuller ex-
PLANTATION and returning the forms
sent out from his office filled out in
way that clearly indicates lack
of understanding. The effect of the
forms seems to be that many corpora
tons take them to contemplate a
double tax and in the effort to avoid
this some of them return no personal
or real property and the full amount
of their capital stock-which, if ac-
cepted by the Auditor, would put
them in hole of their own digging.

ASK TO DISCONTINUE STATIONS.
The s. A. l.. is Tired of Certain Flag
Stops OH the Carolina Central.

The Corporation Commission had
the first business in the way of con-
test yesterday that it has experienced
in some weeks.
The question presented came up on
a petition from the Seaboard Air Line
to discontinue the flag stops of York
vile, Pine Log and Southwood, be-
tween Hamlet and Wilmington. After
some discussion the railroad withdrew
it's petition as to Yorkville and Pine
Log the contention then being as to
Whitewood alone.
Judge t. B. Womack represented
the Seaboard Air Line and Messrs.
Busbee and Busbee certain citizens
living along the line, who filed a petit
ton in protest to the proposed
changes in schedule.
1t was argued by Judge Womack
that as civilization progressed and as
the demands of traffic became more
pronounced and heavy upon rail-
road operating main line, it became
imperative that the road should
shorten it's schedule between import
ant points. and to that end, make
fewer stops at greater distances apart.
Mr. c. NJ. Busbee for the contrary,
contended that Their was a growing
disposition on the part of railroads to
run their trains and arrange their
schedules regardless of the public
convenience; that, at point where a
flag station had existed for more than
twenty years, the people had rights
which the commission should not al
low to be invaded.
After argument the two Commits
sioners present, Chairman Franklin
Mcneil and Mr.. f.. G. Beddingfeld,
stated that they would reserve their
decision until they had a chance to
lay the case before Commissioner S.
l.. Rogers, who is absent.
Judging from the number of rail-
way officials who We're present at the
hearing and from the names that are
signed to the counter petition of the
parties who would be affected by the
change that is asked, the matter is
one of much importance to both sides
than would appear on the surface.
Among the railroad men present
were Supt. w. I. Hudson, Assistant
Auditor A. f. King and Trainmaster
w. H. Gore.
Those whose names were signed to
the petition against the discontinue
ance of the stations We're Messrs. p.
Remington, A. j. Perry, J. H. Watson
NJ s. Edwards, w. M. Edwards, r. S.
Council Bert Graham, A. r. Clark,
j. ]. Clark. G. p. Clark. w. y. Shaw
and Warren Chauncey, all OF whom
are citizens living along the line of
the Carolina Central who feel ag-
grieved at the suggested action of the
railroad.
1t is stated that the stations affect
ed are located in prosperous truck
ing section of the State and that the
failure of the trains to stop at the
points named would cause, not only
inconvenience, but a considerable
money loss to the people engaged in
the trucking industry during several
months of the year.

but all throughout North Carolina
and along the Seaboard Air Line
route. 1t is one that comes to nm
because of merit and efficiency, char

, of Seaboard Air Line men.
Mr.. Gattis is a young man for so
important a position. but he will I'LL
il with rare ability. He is but twenty
five years of age, and has been with
the Seaboard for about eight years.
