SUPT. GORMON
Finds Little SoIace to Suit His Case
in the Bible.

The office of Superintendent of Po-
lice Gormon looked a good deal like
a church this morning. Mr.. Gormon
was at his desk. and in his hands he
held an open Bible. and he was read
ing the Gospel of ST. John; chapter
vii, verse 81. which reads as follows:
:. Ye shall seek me and shall not find
me; and where | am, thither ye can
not come
The case in the superintendent s
mind was one Of embezzlement. and
the paragraph he read in John was
of little consolation.

CONSTRUCTION
OF TAX LAWS
GUARDIANS, EXECUTORS, AD-
MINIsTRAToRS, AGENTS
TRUSTEES
TAX COMMISSIONERS
Gives Opinion That is of Interest to
All Persons Who Pay Taxes.

The following communication was
received by County Assessor A. G.
Compton:
Referring to the assessment OF
property IN the hands Of Guardians,
which was not clearly explained IN
the report of the State Meeting OF
County Assessors, January ;, 1904,
will say
There is an apparent Inconsistency
between Clauses ), 6 and OF Section
II of the tax law, as amended IN
1897. and Clause 10 of the same sec
ton. Upon the ordinary rules OF
construction these must be construed
together so as to give effect as fully
as possible to each, with the future
proviso that In case of irreconcllable
conflict the last provision will con-
troll. Under these rules of construc-
ton in our opinion
/. The personal property OF all
persons under guardianship must be
assessed for taxation for State and
county purposes to the guardian IN
the county where the court IS stu
ated by which the guardian IS ap-
pointed, or to which the guardian re-
ports: but for city or town purposes
the personal property must be re-
turned and assessed to the guardian
in tbe citv or town where the ward
resides.
2. In the same way, the personal
property of estates In the hands OF
executors or administrators must be
assessed for State and county pur-
poses in the county where the court
is situated by which the executor or
administrators was appointed, or to
which he reports, and for city or
town purposes in the town or city
where the deceased last dwelt.
8. Personal property under the
control of a trustee or agent, for
State and county purposes, IN the
county where the court IS situated by
which the trustee or receiver or
agent was appointed, or to which he
reports, and for city or town pur-
poses in the city or town where the
trustee, receiver or agent resides.
If the ward or deceased person
does not. or did not, reside in a city
or town the taxes for township pur-
poses must be paid in the township
where the ward resides, or where the
deceased person lived at the time of
his death.
Tn reference to question on page
IS of aforementioned report con
cerning assessment of pension money
and property purchased with pen
sion money. will say that the answer
is misprint and should be NO in
stead of yes, as there is no law for
the exemption of this kind of proper
ty.

RURAL CARRIERS
Watson Will Champion Their Cause
in the House.

Washington, Feb. %. = Represen-
tative Watson is taking an active in
terest IN the present movement for
increased salaries for rural carriers.
He is inclined to support the amend
ment In the postoffice appropriation
bill which proposes that carriers sal
aries shall be fixed at 1920, or an in
crease of $120. He is of opinion,
however, that congress will grant at
least $500, and possibly $500 a year.
" If such a rate is allowed,' said Mr..
Watson, .the carriers should be pro-
hibited from soliciting for corpora
tions, as provided in the amendment
to the postal bill. The practice of
permitting them to act as agents has
been tolerated on account of the in
adequate compensation allowed. -
Many members agree with the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Watson, but there
IS manifestly a disposition to try out
the law proposed that the carriers
shall be prohibited from acting as
solicitors or agents for hire The
postoffice appropriation bill will be
reported to the house tomorrow and
will be taken up for consideration
next week.

Bill Nye's Letters.
Charlotte News.

Z news
Mrs. Edgar Wilson Nye, widow of
the late Bill Nye, has taken up her
residence in Kansas City, where she
expects to reside permanently. The
fact that her two SONS, Max Edgar
Nye and Frank Wilson Nye, are ell
gagged in business there is the cause
of her decision.
Mrs. Nye has for some time been
meditating the publishing Of a volume
OF Mr. Nye's newspaper letters which
hitherto have appeared in no other
form. lnasmuch as some OF his most
humorous and popular work was
presented in this waythe book should
be very valuable one.
The clippings and other matter
which will comprise the volume have
been placed in the hands of the
Bobbs- Merrill Publishing Company
OF indianapolis, Ind, who have pub
lished other works by Mr.. Nye. The
book is expected to appear on the
holiday lists.
There is probably no author in Bill
Nye's vein whose works are more
popular or more generally familiar
than are his His weekly letters which
were distributed to newspapers thro'
syndicate were eagerly expected
and read by large percentage of
newspaper readers. 1t is selections
from these letters, illustrated by
caricatures from the pen OF Frederick
Opperd, that will compose the pros
pective volume.
= James Whitcomb Riley, who was II
warm personal friend OF the humor-
list and who made several lecture
tours in conjunction with him. has
undertaken to preface the book.
Another project which Mrs. Nye
hopes to accomplish very soon is the
uniform publication of all her hus-
bands books. Most of them have
been gotten out only in railroad edi-
tons and entirely without uniform
ity. The present sales OF his books
denote that there is still Il large de-
mand for his writings, and library
edition would be very popular.

Profitable Sorrow.
Thomasyille Charity and Children

Thomasyille Charity and Children
The holding up of the railroads by
grlef-smitten citizens who are mourn
ing tho loss of loved ones killed bv
the trains, is becoming a thriving in
dustry. In our own town colOred
family who suffered the loss of a son
some time ago are reveling in wealth
obtained from the Southern Railway
by damage suit which was compro-
missed in their favor by thrifty attor-
neys, who also prospered by the
heartrending accident. Some people
are reckless enough to intimate that
the checks of the Southern Railway
are equal to the balm OF Gilead for
their remarkable qualities of healing.
1t is a touching picture to see the
broad crepe on the hatband of a
father bending under the burden of
bereavement and sporting on three
thousand dollars of railroad money.
There are cases OF carelessness for
which a railroad should becompelled
to pay damages, but this thing of
robbing the railroads for the careless
ness of Others is becoming rather
monotonous. We honor Judge Nc
NELL for breaking up the little scheme
OF a plaintiff who wanted several
thousands for having to wait twenty
minutes for a measly local train. and
we hope more Of our judges will make
1t warm for iuries who too often
stand i'll " with railroad robbery.
After all it is the people who have
these bills to pay, and the tax levied
upon them for the most frivolous
and unreasonable causes is becoming
Il little tiresome.

While belief in Parker's election was

that he would be defeated by such an

that Roosevelt carried every State,
including Maryland and West Vir-

ton of our readers:
Mr.. EDITOR The State Board of
Health proposes to inaugurate vigOr-
Gus campaign against the most fatal of
all diseases, pulmonary consumption. 1t
is a preventable disease. Ignorance Of
its causes and of the proper methods of
its prevention is in large part RESPONSE
BILE for its spread. For the information
of the people on these points we have
prepared and had printed for general
distribution 20 600 copies of the enclosed
pamphlet The problem is to get it be-
fore the people. Forthe accomplishment
OF this no agency can be compared With
the press. | therefore write to ask your
most valuable cooperation in this work
for suffering humanity. Your help would
almost surely be the means OF saving
sOme-probably many-lives Will you
not give it by calling attention to The
pamphlet and by advising those of your
readers interested in the subject, especi-
ally such as have consumption in their
families. to send a postal card to the un-
dersigned for rs many copies as they will
distribute? Very truly yours,

which are often full OF defects. Laws

1T was not so nominated in the

faith and should have been so ac-
