Authorizations.
Tarboro Southernpr.

ldFbOfO SOathefnPr-
Ii moity OF the people apprecia-
ted to what extent the adulteration
OF food and all products We're carried,
there would be no difficulty in having
congress TO enact laws requiring all
articles offered for sale to be stamped
for just what they actually are.
More money is expended every year
to produce a cheap substitute for a
meritOrious product than there is
for improving the good article Shod-
dy was made to take the place of
WOODEN goods, Il combination of
acids, vinegar. beef fat and hog lard
for butter. The list might beextend-
ed almost indefinitely
The latest is the adulteration of
leather and this is not without dan
ger. A large amount of the cheap
leather is weighted with glucose and
barium, especially the latter, SO that
when the weight test is applied, such
adulterated leather may pass as first
quality material. Leather so treat
ed, however, has the peculiar quality
OF absorbing moisture freely and re-
tanning it to an extreme degree. The
result is that a shoe made OF this
chemically treated material IS in ac-
tuality never dry. Even in the dry
est weather tie perspiration of the
feet is sufficient to render the loot
wear dangerous, as such natural
moisture acts upon heinner sole and
collects there
This explains in Il measure why
some shoes looking as we'll made as
the best can be sold for so much less
money.
All authorizations orsubstitutes are
not dangerous, but all are deceptive.
Oleomargarine is not dangerous nor
are the lards made from vegetable
oils. They may be more wholesome
than the originals but they are de-
ceptive and have been until recently
fOisted on the people with other
names and not on their merits.
The Government instead of impOs-
ing taxes on substitutes should pro-
hibit the manufacture of those that
are dangerous and require the stamp
ing or labelling with their real name
those that are wholesome.

News and Observer
The Commissioners of several cOun-
ties in the State have started to make
a thorough investigation to ascer-
tain the persons who have failed to
list their property and poll for taxa
ton. Every county should do like
wise. 1t is a duty to men who list
their property for taxation that all
Others do likewise, for it is a great
Injustice to nine-tenths of the tax
payers if one-tenth escape paying
their share of the public burden. The
rate of taxation should be reduced
wherever possible. The first step,
after securing proper valuations and
even more important, is to compel
every person liable to list and pay
taxes.
Let none escape!

as a result Of the wound After leav-
ing the county Office Mr. and Mrs
johnson went west and upon returning
went to Chicago to- live. Their mar
riaGc. which occurred a year ago last

and something of surprise to their
friends. Mrs. Johnson came here as an
employc OF the Springfield Accounting
company. which was working on the
back taxes She went to her home in
Indiana and then Mr.. Johnson was
away a few days and subsequently
their marriage was announced. The
