matter mad been decided some time
ago, when it was proposed to pass
an ordinance to place a tax on hacks

pay for half of the work.
Councilman Kirkman said that in
view of the fact that Mayor Hunt
had vetoed two similar ordigances
it was ridiculous for the council to
again pass the ordinances. He said
that while he favored the bitulithic
yet he desired that there be competi-
ton in the bids.

WAS NOT WANTED.
Reason Mrs. Walden Was Not at
Home of Mr.. Charles Grissom.

Mr. J. e. Walden asks that a state
ment be made concerning the report
that his wife, the mother of Mr..
Charles Grissom. the young man who
died few days ago from laudanum
poisoning, was in no way responsible
for her sons act, nor was he. He says
that Mrs. Walden did go twice a day
to see the sick child of her son till last
Sunday, when she received a message
through two ladies from her sons cvife
that she was not wanted at the house.
As to the death of her son, he states
that no notice was sent Mrs Walden,
and it was only late in the afternoon
that she learned from strangers of his
condition, and was starting to go to
him when ladies told her that it had
been said she was not wanted. Mrs
Walden says that she loved her son
and her grandson and was ever ready
to help. but that with boarders and q
husband sick with rheumatism she
was kept close at home: She and Mr.
Walden ask that the public be thanked
for every attention shown the late
Charles Grissom.

The Fascination Was Snapped BY the
Voice of a Friend Who Pointed

Romancists have written thrilling
stories of mariners fascinated by Ie

knew that to approach these creatures
was to go straight to an awful death.
They sought to escape but their will
was powerless. With eyes wide open
to the fate that awaited them they

age, While in custody of the con-
stable the prisoner made a dash for
liberty and. while the man was jump

corner of Wilmington and Harget
streets, the officer pulled his pistol and
aimed it deliberately at the running
man. Just as his hand touched the
trigger of the weapon and he started
to fire. Mrs. Sallie HopsOn, a white
woman living in a house on the same
square on Harget street protruded her
head through an opening in the fence
from the alley in which she was stand

full charge of the gun would have

A LARGE DECREASE
In Growth of Railroad
Assessments.
According to Change in the Machinery
Act No Change in Assessments
Can Be Made in 1905. Loss in
Revenues About $255.O0O.

Because of the change in the ma
chinery act regarding the assessments
of companies exercising the rights of
eminent domain, no increase in assess
ments can be made in their property
this year, and the loss caused by this
change to the State in taxes is about
$255,000.
This is the year when an increase
would have been made, as it has for
the past several years been observed
every second year. The increase in
assessments in 1908 over 1901 and '02
was $25,505,37S. This would equal IN
increase in taxes of about $255.00O.
Assuming that the same or similar
increase would have been made in
1905 but for the act of the legisla-
ture, the loss in revenues Will be about
The value OF railroad property, AS
assessed, during each of the last five
years was as follows:
1900, $35,264,659; 1901, $45.2345%4;
1902. $45,106,343; 1903. $70,612,721:
1904, 70,616,549.
The change made by the legislature
is in section 55, ca of the Machinery

railroads remaining the same and nn-
