& RADTORD. VA, April 21.-It seems to
be the consensus Of opinion that Gov
ernor Tyler would be. the best man the
Democrats could bring out to make tho
race for Congress in the Ninth District,
says Judge S. W.SWillams, In a recent
letter to the Governor.
There is no doubt but that the former
chief executive of the Commonwealth
would make a fine run. but he. seems to
have no wish to enter politics.
In an interview to-day, Governor Tyler
said:
II do not wish to enter the race. am
too we'll contented with my home and
farm life and With the abundant honors
which have already been bestowed upon
me. hope this honor will not come my
way. There is plenty of good material
in the Ninth District, and hope that
winning candidate will be scected.'
When asked as to who would make the
best race, the Governor replied:
Any Of the men mentioned for the
place would make n good run-B. F..
Buchanan, of Marion; r. Tate Irving.
General r. A. Ayers and r. B. Bruce. OF
WISE Henry Stuart Of Russell, or Alex

TAI ASSESSORS BUSY.
STARTED ON THEIR ANNUAL
ROUND LAST wEEK
some Points OF the New Laws THAT
VIII BE Of Great Assistance In
Preparing Tax Lists

Asp"AhhN A%A sTtSAN
La accordance with the tax laws the
County Assessors, Ellis and Payne be-
gan their work last week, making
The personal property assessments, for
the county. The law allows 10 weeks
in which to do the work Tie work
of making assessments this year will
be little more laborious than hereto
fore, owing TO the fact that the new
law requires a more minute return of
personal property than was required
under the old law. The assessors.
however, have sent out blank forms
to each taxpayer of the county on
which to make up list of all taxable
property owned by the taxpayer. 10
the extent that these blanks will have
been filed up and ready for the asses
sor when he comes around will the
work of making the assessments be
liRhtened. The assessors will collect
the capitation tax as they did last
year. 1t was not made obligatory last
year for each person liable for head
tax to pay, and as result many did
not do so. The law provides that in
case the capitation tax is not paid by
certain date after the assessment has
been made. the assessors are to pro-
coed to collect said tax, using the
same means as the sheriff does in su h
cases. and to assess the cost OF such a
proceeding to the delinquent. Accord.
ing to this law the assessors are given
almost unlimited power to collect the
capitation tax.
The lists of property must be made
out as of the first day of April, and
every item of personal property owned
by the taxpayer on that day, visible
Or invisible, in or out of the state
must be put down by him, under
| oath, at it's true and and actual val
ne. The assessor is not allowed to
receive any list unless it is sworn to-.
In his letter Of instructions Commits
sioner Dillon saws: 1.-THE money OF
every person, firm or incorporated
company in this state is subject to
taxation whether such money be in OF
out of the state. County orders, stock
in building and loan associations,
money loaned, notes, bohds, book &C.
counts and other evidence of debt
and all investments should be listed
Thu county records will be examined
to ascertain what money is secured by
MORTGAGES, trust deeds. etc. :" Heavy
penalties are prescribed for those who
fail to list all their property.

The small cars that are kept in SER
vice will be relegased to the branch
lines, and all main line traffic will be
handled in cars OF not less than 30
tons capacity.
| The Baltimore and Ohio and the
Southwestern, together. hav about
30, 900 freight cars in operation. Ii is
estimated that from 5000 to 10, 000. of
these are of 20 tons capacity or less,
and the company expect to get the
majority of the small cars out of COM
mission within the next year or two.
Most of them have been in use for
years and can be used only q short
time on the branch lines before they
will give out entirely. The same plan
of destroying the small cars will be
followed ON the Baltimore and Ohio
that is in operation on the Pennsvl-
vania railroad. AS fast as the worth
less cars are received at the shops and
inspected. they will be burned and
the scrap iron saved.
