Death Of Little Emily Weeks.
Little Emily Weeks, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. G.. Weeks,
died at their home Monday afternoon,
August 7, 1905, aged eight months.
She has been sick Tor several weeks
and everything possible was done for
relief, but gradually the little sufferer
grew worse until the parting hour
when the angels bore her spirit away
to be with God In brighter home in
the beautiful Beyond.
The remains were inferred in the
Baptist cemetery Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. G. T. Lumpkin conducting the
burial exercises, assisted by Rev. W. S.
Brooke.
Deep sympathy is felt by their many
friends for Mr.. and Mrs. Weeks in
their sorrow and bereavement.

The victory In the Second district
has put heart into the Democracy of
the State and the fight next year will
be notable one. With firm decla.

vor OF restricted suffrage and the
jim crow car-the entire State ought
to be carried by the Democrats

The above is the stuff that counts
for the Republicans in the southern
part OF the State. and it shows why
they would not like to be without the
help of the Gazette. The talk Of a
restricted suffrage and the jim Crow
car is alone sufficient to line up the
thousands Of colored voters in that
section with the great party that has
made them what they are and giver
them what they have.

TO IMPROVE THE SENATE.

Hon. Lamar c. Powell, in his Fair.
mont West, Virginian, has proposed
that each county in the State be given
two State Senators, which would bring
the total number OF legislators in that
body up to 40. There Is little likeli.
hood that such a radical innovation
will take place, at least in the near
future, and there may be some doubts
as to the wisdom Of having such a
great increase. For our part, we think
thar each county should have its own
representative in the upper branch,
but We hardly think that two from
each county, would be necessary or
any better than one. However, Col
Pow ellis plan has its good points and
he is presenting them in his charac.
teristically clear and forceful man.
ler.-Salem Herald.
An increase OF 25 members in the
State Senate, or one from each coun'
ty, would be great improvement, but
an increase Of so, making the body
consist OF 10 members, would be toe
much for the "lobsters" and put them
out of business.

were last year. or have been for sew:
Ieral years: He will ssee this at q
glance at his tax receipt If he has the
same amount Of property this year
that he had last. He will know why
they are lower, too, as he has been
informed of the fact that eleven cents
onathe 500 valuation goes on OF his
State tax. Next year he will see a
greater decrease in his favor, as II
cents more Of State tax will be taken
of, making % cents in all on the 500
valuation. This is not all the de.
crease his pocket-book will y feel, las
the reassessment Of land will benefit
him largely. for as no more money
will be needed for county purposes
next year than is required now, the
rate Of taxation is sure to be very
considerably lowered, consequently bis
taxes will be less. Everybody can
see that II there is an increase in the
valuation Of property decrease in
the rate Of taxation must follow. This
in brief shows what "tax reform" is
going to do for the people, and fur.
