alleyways of this municipality,
or such Of them which it has not
already aliened to private par
ties, and are selling at 2 cents
pr square foot-equal to more
than $3.50 for the center and
four alleyways in the blocks in
the heart of the town-and this
pretended holding is steadily ap-
preciating in value. The total
area so held to-day is equivalent
to about $50 lots, upon which
no taxes whatever are paid,
which at the low valuation of
500 per lot would amount to
$l1 900, desideratum which
calls for earnest scrutiny.
Another matter which your
committee calls to the attention
of the Board is this: The valua-
ton of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway property allotted to this
bailiw lex by the State board Of
commi ssioners. is 500, TIA 70,
and yet we find no record of
taxes paid by it, either city,
county, Or Sta e. This would
seem to be a grave oversight.
There may be a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of which this commit
tee is not informed, but of their
ability and willingness to pay
there can be no question. This
may fer to the value of it's
property in the county, but we
have no record of city taxes be-
ing paid to this municipality.
This movement to equalize
values has stimulated the desire
to sell, and the transfer of prop
erty, rather than hold, into the
hands OF men who will improve
aud bear their adequate share
of municipal burdens.
When this is done the reve-
nues of the municipality will be
QUADRUPLED, and not in
crea e the burdens of those who
are now paying-and much
needed public improvements
can be inauguratt d and paid for.
But, it is said, this move
ment, however meritorious,
comes too late-that the assess
ment is now fixed for four years.
1t is the province Of the law to
remedy wrongs wherever they
exist. A bill can be filed on the
relation of tax payers that would
compel a decree favoring the re-
assessment of property for taxa
ton, and would decree the ex-
pense to be borne by the NUM-

committee is discharged when
We report the facts as we find
hem, which is herewith sub
nitted.

Copy of Report to the
Board of Trade of

Board of Trade oil
SOUTHERN PINES, n. G. ON THE
EQUALIZATION OF PROPERTY
FOR TAXES.
Continued from last week.)
The policy Of assessing prop
erty held as an investment, for
speculation and sale, at figure
much less than one-third it's cash
value, which seems to be the &C.
cepted ratio, exempts the hold
er from the just burdens of the
citizen, to which he is not en-
titled, and adds unjustly to the
general burdens Of the commun-
ity.
The law contemplates that all
property should be assessed at
its fair cash valne, ard rot upon
any aliquot part of it's cash
value, and it would be much
more to the interest of the com.
munity 10 be able to say to in
vestors that municipal taxes
were / per cent instead of 3 per
cent
If this municipality, which
depends upon the home seeker,
tn health seeker, the longevity
seeker, and the luxury seeker,
desires a steady and permanent
growth, it must create the i'm
preston that the interests of the
investor will be treated honest
ly, scrupulously guarded against
unjust exactions, and that from
a high sense of honor the COM
munity scorns to take the slight
est advantage, but on the con
trary will compel the strictest
equity in the distribution of bur-
dens.
The instances of inequality in
the last and previous assess
ments of values in this munici-
pa ity are too numerous to
spreal them all upon this re-
port, but the official action of
the present Com missioners as a
whole is probably no more to be
censured than those who pre-
cedpd them The ineqnity has
been Inherited and tacltly acqui-
9sced in until conditions now
existing clamor for radical read
ustment. A few citations will
serve to elucidate this ineqnity.
Dr.. SWEETS prol erty, COM
orising SO lots, are assessed at
about 500 per lot, and these
ire located between New York
venue and Pennsylvania ave-
lue, and Broad and May streets,
n the heart of the town, and
his, upon the established ratio,
would give a cash valuation of
800 per lot, while the two
Jocks adjoining between the
anne streets, Broad and May
nd Pennsylvania ave. and New
hampshire ave., are assessed at
80 each, and bear less than
ne-third the burden he bears,
nd yet we are told these lots
1e held from $3.50 to $500 each.

times as much as the entire LIT
acres is assessed at. Such a de.
probation in the quality Of real
estate for the purpose Of avoid
ing the duty Of contributing to
the public revenue is certainly
abnormal.
We also further find that lot
10, in L and 4, which is now ad-
vertised for sale-27 by $50 feet
"a valuable lot on Pennsylva-
MIA ave., is not assessed at all,
and was evidently overlooked
by the Commissioners uninten-
tionally.
We also find five blocks ia D,
d, aud F, 4 and 5, that are not
assessed for a penny, with the
single exc, Ilion Of lots 5, 6, 7,
s, 8, aud ~, in f and 4, as
sessed as $500, and this ouly
when il got into the hands of
the pur. haser,
So long as property can be
held without paying the normal
burdens of taxation which de-
wolves on the average citizen,
so long will the investment be a
large net money Gamer, and be
held indefinitely for the best
price obtainable But when
these normal burdens of taxa
ton must annually be paid 10
cash, the anxiety to realiz' in
c'eases which is an encourage
ment to the investor.
1t may be pertinent to re-
mark that since this inquiry was
authorized by this Board 600
lots in Southern Pines are now
offered for sale at $40 each,
which il is SAID have been sell
ing from $50 upward. In this
connection it may be noted that
the record of the plat shows that
the New England Mining and
Manufacturing Co. own 474 lots,
assessed at a total valuation Of
$9,718, or less than $21 per lot,
worth from $50 to $500 each.
In the law governing cities
aud towns, which is of univer-
sal application, the act of dedi-
cation vests the title to the
streets, alleys, squares, and pub
lie grounds, in the municipality.
This was unquestionably the ef-
feet of the original dedication to
Southern Pines when the same
was accepted and the plat re-
corded. We have been unable

Proper treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although he may have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. It should be
borne in mind, however, that pneumo-
mia always results from a cold or from
an attack of the grip, and that by Civ
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off This remedy is also
used by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR..
w. j. Smith, of Landers, Ala, who is
also druggist, says of it: Il have been
selling Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and prescribing it in my practice for
the past six years. Iuse it in cases of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results" Sold by G. e. Grafton.

resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Napoleon Tlbbs, our
esteemed friend and brother, has
been taken away from our midst
by the hand of Death, and has
disappeared from among the liv-

and
Whereas, He died in the prime
of life, and the flush and vigor of
manhood and youth of few years
ago gave HIM ground to hope for
many years of life; but his hopes
were cut short by dread disease,
which in the course of a few
months carried him off to the
tomb; and
Whereas, He was an upright
and intelligent man, a faithful
worker, and a firm friend and bro
Their, who by his manly conduct
and many virtues had endeared
himself to all who, knew him, and
was truthful and laborious
(president) member of our union,
and his consistency was as true
as the oscillations of the pendu-
lum of a clock; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we mourn I'M
feigned for our departed brother
and fellow craftsman, and will
miss his cheerful and amiable
countenance from our circle,
where he had endeared himself to
all his associates by his kind and
Honorable dealings and unalterable
friendship.
Resolved, That we deplore his
untimely demise, and will pre-
serve in our hearts a loving re-
membrance of him as one whose
qualities and virtues had earned
our esteem and respect, as well as
our lasting affection.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be published in the jackson
Clarion-Ledger, Evening News,
and the international Typographi-
cal Journal, and that copies of the
same be sent by the secretary of
this union to the bereaved family
of our deceased brother.

"a good ostrich fall makes good
flower spring is an old saying with
the miliiners. and the spring OF 1904
will bear out the truth of this state
ment. Roses promise to take the lead
this spring. The tiny button variety in
single and double garlands edge the
brims, encircle the crowns or other
wise trim the hats. Medium size roses
are used as garniture in single or dou-
BILE wreaths, and large roses are often
used singly. When the large flower is
employed tiny green leaves bordering
the brims make charming effect.

this purpose the sweater is o much

be. The stitches are often arranged
closer together as they near the waist
line, giving the figure tapering effect.
These sweaters for gymnasium. home

made mp In great variety OF attrac-i
