GREAT DAY FOR OUR CITY.

Hendersonville is to be congratulated
upon securing the next annual meeting
of the Grand Lodge of North Carolina
Odd Fellows. 1t was a victory scarcely
to be expected at the outset and was
o by persistent effort and the assis-
lance of kind friends. At first the fight
was between Asheville, Waynesville,
Hendersonville, Hot Springs and
G~oldsboro. The supporters of Hender-
sonville had gone to work in q quiet
way and organized their forces, so when
the time ctme for making nominating
speeches they took the convention by
storm and it became clearly evident
that she had the best of any other ives
tern point under consideration. But
some of the knowing ones" among, the
Grand Officers made the suggestion that
it would be too expensive to take the
delegates away up in the mountains
and insisted upon holding the next
meeting in GOldsboro. They further
suggested that it would be an inspira-
ton to the brothers to meet in Colds
boro, where they might visit the Or
phan's Home, founded and maintained
by the brothers of Odd-Fellowship.
Seeing the danger in division with
three candidates" in the field, the
Asheville and Waynesville brethren
withdrew in favor of Hendersonville,
and the ballot resulted as follows: Hen
Jacksonville, 169: Goldsboro, Is: Hot
Springs, 3. Upon motion the selection
of Hendersonvills was then made unani-
o amid v~ociferious cheering which
fairly shook the hall.
During the nomination speeches Hen
d~ersonVille came in for a liberal share
OF praise at the hands of former visitors
from Wilmington, Raleigh, Charlotte
and else where in the state, who de-
clared her hotel facilities equal to any
town or city in North Carolina. 1t was
a great day for our beautiful and pro-
gressive little city and the writer was
the recipient of many congratulations
after the vote became known. He was
happy to be able to claim himself a Cit
izen of a city about which only the kind
est of words had been uttered. Let Us
go to work now and "make good" when
that great convention comes next May,

THE APPROACHING
ASSESS EMIT.

This newspaper has had somewhat to
say lately concerning the assessment OF
property soon to be made in Hender-
~sonyille and Henderson County. 1t is
not our purpose to do other than advise
fair and equitable adjustment of dis
crepancies that have been apparent here
tofore upon the tax list. From various
parts of the State comes complaint of
similar import and members of the
Corporation Commission are touring
the State 10 the interest of justice and
fair-play to all classes aud conditions Of
our citizenship. Commissioner Rogers
addressed the assessors of Asheville and
Buncombe County on Thursday of last
week in an advisory capacity and gave
them some interesting advice along the
line suggested. Discussing the new as
sessment the Gazette-News concludes a
timely article as follows:
1.-THE assessors begin their work June
l. 1t is believed that the new assess
ment this year will be an increase in
value of property over the assessment Of
four years ago. It is commended hat the
property assessment in Asheville and
certain portions of BuncOmbe is too low
and that if property was properly assess
ed the tax rate could easily be reduced.
For instance it is known that valuable
business property 10 Asheville is as
sessed at half and less than half its cash
value and that in instances even a
smaller assessment than this is placed on
the property, The assessors for this
year have been urged to make the assess
ments on property as nearly uniform as
possible. 1t is believed that the assessed
value of property in Asheville and Bun
combe county this year will be found to
be cOnsiderably1n excess of the assess
ment of four years ago."
There is no sort of question about
some business and residence property in
Hendersonville have been assessed con-
siderably below actual cash value four
years sgo. This condition applies, in
the main, to large property holders,
while the citizen less fortunate is taxed
out of proportion to his possessions bas-
ed upon an equitable basis. Favoritism
should have no place in matters of this
kind and it is hoped our assessors this
year will heed the demand for an assess
ment that will be as nearly uniform as
possible. There should be no oppres
sion of any one, but an adjustment which
will be perfectly fair to all.
The individual possessing only an
humble home should have the same con-
sideratiUn as the nan of wealth and
power. All matters bearing upon this
subject ought to be diligently investi-
gated and due reference made to every
item subject to taxation. This will re.
quire some effort but the people are
paying the bill and expect the assessors
to do the rest. So far as we are advised
those assigned to do this work this
year are fair and honorable gentlemen.
We shall see if they ''make good"

ums, yet an interesting chapter to the
controversy between the radical patron
age dispenser and the dictator of his
party in North Carolina. The fight is on
to q finish and we may expect some de-
Velopments of a warm variety from
time to time. Chairman Adams has
said that Butler is''dead as a door nail"
but it is evident that he is live enough
to talk and has the courage to say what
he thinks. 'Let us hold our noses while

ADAMS AND BUTLER AGAIN,

Chairman Adams, of the republican
state executive committee, and 'tMarv
Ann" Butler are still throwing "bou-
quets" at each other. A portion of an
. interview with Adams in Washington
recently, on the North Carolina situa
ton, was printed in this newspaper last
week and shows the feeling existing be
tween the chairman and his erstwhile
pal, the former populist senator. The
latter has his inning this week and does
not mince words in a bitter denuncia
ton OF the man who did more, perhaps.
