A PROCLAMATION.


The time Of year has come when,
in accordance with the wise custom
Of our forefathers, it becomes my du-
ty to set aside a special day Of
thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because of the blessings we
have received, and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year OF widespread well
being has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history Of any
other nation has a people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than Is ours; a prosperity so gener-
al that it sho~ld arouse in us no spir-
it of reckless pride, and, least of all,
a spirit of needless disregard Of our
responsibilities, but rather sober
sense of our many blessings, and a
resolute purpose, under Providence,
not to forfeit them by any action of
our own.
Material we'll being, indispensable
though It is, can never be anything
but the foundation Of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as house where only
the foundation has been laid. Upon
our material well being must be built
superstructure of individual and ma
tional life lived in accordance with
the laws of the highest morality, or
else our prosperity itself win in the
long run turn out curse instead of
blessing. We should be both rever-
emily thankful for what we have re-
ceived and earnestly bent upon turn
ing it into means of grace and not
of destruction.
Accordingly, / hereby set apart
Thursday. the twenty-ninth day of
November next, as day of thanks
giving and supplication, on which the
people shall meet in their homes or
their churches, devoutly acknowledge
all that has been given them, and to
pray that they may in addition re-
ceive the power to use these gifts
Alright.
In witness whereof, / have hereun-
TO set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this
22d day Of October, in the year Of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
six, and of the Independence Of the
United States the one hundred and
thirty-first.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
BY the President: Elihu Root
Secretary of State.

OSCAR S. STRAUs, of New York,
will succeed Victor Fl. Metcalf as
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor
when Attorney General Moody resigns
from the Cabinet, presumably on Jan
uary l. -Four other changes will be
made in the Cabinet. According to
the official announcement made at the
White House Tuesday the new. as
signment in the Cabinet win be as
follows: Secretary Of the Treasury
George B. Cortelyou; Postmaster Gen
eral George Won L. Meyer; Attorney
General Charles j. Bonaparte; Sec
rotary of the Navy Victor FL. Met
calf Secretary of Commerce and La
bor-Oscar S. Straus. The appoint
ment # Mr.. Straus will, it is believed,
give general satisfaction. AS a mer-
chant and a diplomat he has enjoyed
a notably successful career, while as a
philanthropist he is widely known.
He served as Minister to Turkey with
distinction, to which post he was APP
pointed by President Cleveland, and
when ex-President Harrison died Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed Mr.. Straus
a member of the permanent court of
arbitration of The Hague, an office he
still holds. Mr.. STRAUSS experience
asa man of affairs especially fits him
for the wide variety Of duties which
devolve on the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor. Mr.. Straus is the first
Hebrew to be appointed to the Cabi-
net of the United States, and his sell
ection clearly indicates the broad
catholicity of the President, who is
never biased for or against any man
by his religious Affiliations.

which will sit in its rooms in the
courthouse on Thursday and Saturday
of this week, between the hours OF s
O'Clock in the morning and 5 O'clock

the board Of the inadyertence' or
the improper omission of his name

upon which the district board will
permit him to vote.

Likewise the court will sit again on
Election Day between So'cloclS in the
forenoon and 7 O'Clock in the evening
to listen to the appeals of persons
who, having been registered, are inn
properly denied the right to vote by

Assessment of Private Property.

62o10S<5&&kOs4t
I know it is said that private prop
erty is not assessed at its full value.
That may be true; but what do you
call its full valuef lie you take its pro-
duetive capacity, I doubt if the average
farm in North Carolina would pay per
cent net on its assessed value lie its
owner were to deduct fair salary for
himself and family, as wen as all ex-
penses incurred In buying horses and
tools and otherwise cultivating and
keeping up the place. How many farms
pay standing. rent of 6 per cent. net
over and above all expenses and repairs
on their assessed valuei And yet the
net earnings of a railroad company are
its earnings over and above all expenses
of every kind, including injuries to per-

capitalization and Taxation.

In December, 1880, nearly sixteen
years ago, i wrote letter to the lee.

calling attention to the great disparity
between the capitalization of the rail
roads OF the state and their assessed
valuation for taxation The foIIovin0
Is an extract therefrom: s.The Western
North Carolina Railroad is assessed for
taxation at q, $50, 375, ard is reported
as capitalized at $15, 735, 900, nearly ten
times its tax valuation, and fifty Der
cent greater than the tax valuation of
all the railroads in this state. which Is
given at SIC, 003 ,sS2.e5.o I also suggest
ed therein the creation OF a railroad
commission with the following duties
and powers: "A11 questions of rail-
road taxation should be referred to IL.
with an appeal to the courts.
The commission should have the pow
er to elect its own chairman, to sit at
different places In the state when
necessary; to summon witnesses and
send for books and papers, and TO
require such reports from all railroads

While the questions of rates and taxa
tion are the principal subjects demand
ing attention of the commission, there
are other matters which should not be
ignored. The investigation of wrecks
should be made thoroughly, but without
either passion or prejudice. OF course
il they are due to the criminal negli-
gence of an employee, he should bear
the responsibility like anyone else; but
there is another element of responsible
ity that we must not forget. If that
employee has been kept on duty for 50

 '.She is his niece. answered Goodwin quietly. She is the Princess of Basl- bee but at this moment she is not in Damascus"
 How do you know that, Sir God win:"
 Il know it because ill the vision Of which you have been told I saw her sleeping in d tent in the camp of Sala- din"
 Now the council began 10 laugh. but Goodwin. with a set, white face. went on:
 Aye. my lord Templar, and near that very blazoned tent I saw scores of the Templars and of the Hospitalers lying dead. Remember it when the dreadful hour comes"
 Now the laughter died away, and murmur of fear ran round the board.
 Only the Yemplar. who feared nei- ther man nor spirit, laughed and gave him the lie with bis eyes;
 "You do not believe me-" said God win, nor will you believe me when l say that while was on guard on yon. der hilltop I saw you wrangling with the Count of .'Tripoli-aye, and draw your sword and dash it down in front of him upon this very table"
 Now again the council stared and muttered, for they. too, had seen this thing but the master answered:
 He may have learned it otherwise than from an angel. Folk have been in and out of this tent. My lord king, have we more time to waste upon these visions? Were the times different l would inform against Sir Goodwin Darcy as a sorcerer and one who has been in traitorous communication with our common foe.'
 And l would thrust the lie down your throat with my swords point" shouted Wulf.
 But Goodwin only shrugged his shoul- ders and said nothing, and the master went on, taking no heed:
 King, we await your word, and 1t must be spoken soon, for in four hours it will be dawn. Do we march against Saladin like bold, Christian men. or do we bide here like cowards?'
 Then there arose a tumult through which every man shouted to his fellow. some saying one thing and some anoth-

"Upon th.is vcrv rood f s,0e0r."

CT, while the king sat at the head of the board, his face hidden in his hands Presently he lifted it and said: 5 'I command that we march at dawn"
 Now followed a great silence, for all were lost in their own thoughts. One by one they rose, bowed to the king and left the tent to give commands and rest awhile before it was time to ride. Goodwin and Wulf went also, and with them the bishop of Nazareth.
 When they had slept awhile Goodwin and Wulf rose and fed their horses. After they had washed and groome' them they tested and did on their ar nor. then took them down to the spring to Grink their fill. as their mas ters did. Also Wulf. who was cunning in WET. brought with him four large wineskins which he had provided against this hour. and, filling them with pure water. fastened two of them with thongs behind the saddle of Goodwin and two behind his own. Further. he filled the water bottles at their saddle bows, saying.
 ''At least we will be among the last to die of thirst.'
