The democratic party Of this state
predicted that tine board OF public
works would fail to assess the rail
roads and corporations high enough.
Now since the assessment has been
made public the very same individuals
say that tn high assessment is due TO
taking away the passes from the
state officials. and that the assessment
is out Of reason. We sometimes won-
der if such men are sane n sound.
This paper. as well as the entire re-
publican press of the state which was
favorable to the new tax law, always
upheld tile hands of Governor Dawson
in his Efforts to place the burden of
taxation where it belonged, ON the
CORPORATIONS. That il. to compel these
great aggregations of wealth to pay
in proportion to the poorest property
holder.
The assessment of the railroads,
being over 81, DOC. 900 in this county,
is high compared with its past assess
ment. But every one knows that the
railroads were not paying their just
share Of tax 5 They have been escap-
ing for years, and it now seems
strange that any one should say that
the assessments are too high. There
is no doubt but what the valuations
will be determined BIZ the court then
it will be decided once aud for all
whether or not the corporations are TO
run this $ ate.
The republicAn party went before
the people with solemn pledges to
give this state a tax law which will
place the burden of taxation equally
] Cd all. This it his done. The law
sands as a monument to its maker.
II will prove in time that it is what
the people have been asking for. All
thAt is necessary to show the people
thht it is the best tax Law this state
fat ever had is for the people to wait
AMID see If il does not work out right
I'M every Particular. The small LAND
owner, the large property holder and
the corporations must pay in proper
tion TO their individual wealth, be il
small or great, and this is the key tC
the situation. In this event no mar
a complain of injustice. There
fore, we think hat the board of pub.
lie work in placing the valuation Oh
the railroads did its duty under ths
law, and that the courts will uphold
the assessments in every particular,

Gray silver, who Had Purchased ID and
Paid $500 on Account, Held
Up the shipment.
The Hagerstown Herald says:
Sheriff Deibert on Friday evening
laid an attachment on a carload OF
wool in the Baltimore and Ohio freight
yards. The attachment was sued out
by Gray Silver of Martinsburg,
through his attorney Palmer Tenant,
of Hagerstown. The carload of wool,
valued at 81. 500, was purchased BY Mr..
Silver. through Arabian Roth, agent,
from r. Frank Winder and S. +.
Spessard. Silver paid $500 on the
purchase.
The wool did not come up to sample
aud there was some question as to
price. Winder refused to return the
$500 and attempted or, it is said, did
sell the wool to another party, who
was going to ship it. An attachment
was gotten out to secure Silver. The
wool was found in the Baltimore and
Ohio yards after some difficulty.
The carload of wool may have to be
held until after the November term OF
court before ii can be sold unless bond
is furnished by Winder to the value Of
the wool.

FATALLY SHOT.
Clifford Rookins, a siXteen-year-old coll
ored boy. was fatally shot by negro
boy named Archer Bland in Blandford
last night, while party of young negroes
were returning from a concert. The
bullet entered Rooknss forehead, causing
death in about an hour. At the inquest
this afternoon the five colored boys who
were witnesses gave very contradictins
evidence the jury giving the usual YER
dict that Rookins came TO his death from
a bullet wound inflicted by pistol in
the hands of Bland. 1t seems that while
the boys and girls We're returning from
the concert, Bland ran ahead OF the
crowd, saying that lie intended to fright
en- the girls, jumping out when they
passed the place where he was hiding,
causing n dispute with Rootins, which
resulted in the shooting.
The impression Is that murder was
not intended. The case was continued in
the Mayors Court. this morning to await
the coroner's inquest.
