The big companies were not go treated The assessor repeatedly called the boards attention to the fact that he had ascertained that the A. c. company had held out of their 1904 assessment eight mines, patented in 1903. That they had withheld this year seventeen pat ented mill sites. These were not added. Another thing is, the board hunted for information concerning the average tax payer, but when the assessor demanded that Mir. Veitch be summoned to testify concerning his mines and their value, the board refused to summon him by tie vote between Mir. Olney and Mir. Billingsley. The assessor says that if the board would have summoned Mir. Veitch, he would have confronted him with evidence that Mir. Veitch could not have disputed, showing clearly the worth of the property.
 About the only way we see to get the rich man assessed on par with the poor devil, is to assess the poor devils little holdings at as low a per cent of it's real value as the board has the companies property. In the meantime, it's great to be rich company.
 We wish to say that Mr. Olney voted on every question sustaining the assessor.--Graham Guardian.

Saturday July %, 1908.
Equslirstlon Work.

IdIDu WAS SNhiFA1tDA .n~N
 day so far as the July meeting E concerned, and it adjourned until the third Monday in August, when those raised will have an oppor- tuni;y of appearing and giving reasons why the raises should not stand. All property was thorough lv gone over and capitalized with the exception of that owned by the big copper companies.
 As stated last week, MT. Olney and Mr. Billingsley were a tie on the matter: MT. Olney supporting the returns made by the assessor, the board therefore adjourned un- til Saturday when Chairman Shan non arrived. The first part of the work on Saturday was taken up when the chairman sent for Col. Herring. That gentleman appear ed and made an hours talk for the reduction of the Detroit Copper company's taxes. He accused the assessor of having made the assess ment purely by guess work, but as the colonel was not posted, but be- came so later, no txception was taken to his remarks. He also went on to show what an enormous tax the copper companies are pay ing and what a ridiculously small tax the farmers are paying. Then he proceeded to assure the board that his strong suit is beating cases where rich corporations have them to pay and also that If the asses s0G's figures were allowed to stand that Graham county would involve herself in an enormous law suit. Then he quit. He did not volun- teer any information as to the actual value of his company $ property nor did the board ask him for any.
 The assessor was not asked any questions as to how he arrived at the figures which he had placed on the properties in question, al- though he offered documentary evidence which proved conclusive ly that the property is worth many times what he had assessed 1t at.
 This, however was given very little attention, in fact, about the same consideration was given tc that as to the demand made by the assessor that Mir. Veitch be sum moned to testify as to the worth ol the mines,
 The Detroit company's property was the first considered. The board started in item by item ano proceeded this way about ifteer minutes, when Mir. BillingsleS made motion that the property of the Detroit and Arizona Copper companies be placed at the same figures as they were last year. NJ investigation was made to ascer tain whether these figures were tot high or too low, but the mattel was punched off in a lump, Mr Olney voting against the reduc tion.
 The assessor claims that he hal ample proof that even the 6gurei placed by him on these propertie were too low compared with other property and that this information was at the boards disposal at an, time. and that if the board had al lowed the assessment to stand anC the companies had taken the mat ter into court, which the Colone threatened to do. the court would

PORT. IS WIDE OPEN
All PiIotage laws to Be
Repealed.
Proposition of Cape Fear Pilots to VIII
mington Chamber of Commerce
Brings a Quick Agree
ment.

Cheers from the contrasting delega-
"tions made the air ring yesterday af-
ternoon in front of the Agricultural
building An agreement had been
reached in the pilotage law question
from Wilmington.
This was at the meeting OF the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee held at the
Corporation Commission Office and the
settlement, made on a proposition
from the pilots was that all pilotagc
laws be repealed and that the port be
wide open in place of compulsory pi-
lotage.
Mr. c. NJ. Busbee made the opening
argument for the Wilmington Cham
Der of Commerce in favor of the
BOney bill abolishing compulsory pilot
age and which the pilots are fighting.
He urged that the bill be reported
favOrably and that it was The express
sion of the wishes of 80 per cent. OF
the business men of Wilmington.
Mr. j. Allen Taylor president Of
the Wilmington Chamber OF Com
merce, spoke in behalf of the bill, urg-
ing that under the provisions of 6he
bill a coaling station could be put in
at Wilmington.
AT this point there came an inter-
ruption from the pilots. Il was that
as tncE regarded the 0oncS .Dtil aS
most injurious to them than an entire
absence Of law. that they proposed
that in place of the Boney bin all .pi
lOtage laws on the statute books be
repealed. The offer was accepted by
the Chamber of Commerce people
and the argument was made. y sub
committee now has the matter in
charge.
Then came the cheering on the
streets, the late antagonists fratcrniz-
ing joyously. Smiling faces were in
abundance and everyone semeed GLAD
that some decision mad been reached
after so much argument and 50 many
weeks of contest and uncertainty.
Representatives OF the Chamber OF
Commerce say that with Wilmington
an open port, no compulsory pi!olage,
the city will be a great gamer in its
commerce. 1T is worth 100000 Ia
the city, exclaimed one enthusiast.
The mea of the cit! who are here are
delighted and say that all Will now be
lovely
The pilots say that they prefer a re-
peal of all laws in preference to the
Boney bill, which they denominate rs
drastic, and say that anything is pref
cradle to it. They say that there is no
forecaSting what the result will be
that III 1856 the laws were repealed
but re-enacted in 1857. One claim
they make is that insurance on YES
sells which come to Wilmington will
increase and that underwriters viii not
like the conditions which will prevail
as their risks will be increased.

FAILING EYESIGHT
Caused by Improper Food.

Writers who live scdentary lives and
who use coffee are apt TO be troubled
by faulty vision. which they usually
attribute to overwork. That they are
sometimes mistaken is proved by the
following statement from ain old
newspaper man:
For nearly 40 years l have earned
my living with the pen. A few years
ago | began TO suffer from occasional
blind SPELLS My vision frequently
became obscured by what may be call
ed Kaleidoscope blurs, in which con-
Stantly changing figures like wheels,
stars. etc, floated before my eyes
making ii impossible for me to work
while they lasted. They were usually
followed by duh, heavy headaches.
My physicians, two of them, adj
Vised me that my eyes had become
weakened by overwork 1 consulted an
oeulist but he could not discover the
cause of the trouble. / bought
stronger glasses but they did not help
NE.
Last summer, while living tenn
porarily in a boarding house, / found
the very weak coffee d thing to COM
plain of, till suddenl,- l discovered that
my blind spells were becoming less
frequent l then satisfied myself by
experiments that it was coffee that was
dcranging my optic nerves.
a friend advised me to try Postum
coffee, and although / had no faith in
IT, / began to use it. In three days
time the blind spells completed
ceased. Going back to the old coffee
the blind spells returned. l am en-
tirely satisfied that coffee was the
cause Of the ailment. and that Postum
was it's cure" Name given by Postum
CO.. Battle Creek, Mich.
There's Il reason. Coffee is a mar
cote that breaks down the cells in the
nerve centres and unless nature sue
ceedS in repairing the damage each
day. disease and distress follows in
some one or more organs. II may be
eyes in one, stomach and bowels i'll
another heart or kidneys in another
and yet each effected from the same
cause, coffee. The sure way to GER
tainly know is to quit coffee 10 days
aud use Postum. If the disease begins
to disappear you have the key to your
puzzle.
