The Tax Rate.

The impression seems to have gone
abroad that the County Commission
ers have Target increased the tax rate
in Vance county. This is a mistake
which in justice to the Commissioners
and to the county ought to be cor
rected
They have only increased their levy
81 cents on the 800, or 36Scents on
the $1,000 Of property valuation.
At tie same time the poll tax is re-
duced to $500, so that the taxes
are not really increased even the 81
cents. 1t is proposed that this small
increase shall be the limit even for the
court house improvements. The levy
aspublishedin this paper at the time
OF making it in June, is divided as
follows: State 81 cents, pensions 4
cents, schools Is cents, county 23A
cents, making a total OF the taxes
fixed by the Legislature and by the
County commissioners of 668 cents.
There is a special road tax levied,
by requirement OF the Road Com
missioners. of 45 cents, making the
total of State and County general
and special levy Sig cents on the
hundred dollars. Under the former
rule the corresponding poll tax would
have been S245. This 40 cents is
cut off leaving the poll tax only
$500 as already stated.
The above does not, OF course, in
clude town taxes nor township taxes
voted in Kittrell and Henderson,
over which the Commissioners have
no control. For many of the poorer
people of the county, the change will
work an actual reduction in the
amount of taxes to be paid because Of
the reduction of the poll tax.

death of Mr.. George ". Bromell.

other than that his death was sud
den
Mr. Bromell had been living in
Pittsburg for several years, having
established himself in the job print
ing business there as owner and OPP
orator of a small but we'll equipped
plant and was doing well.
We learn of Mr. Bromells death
with profound sorrow He was our
friend-true and tried-whose fidel-
ity had been proven by long and
loyal service. He was a printer in
the GOLD LEAF office for a number
OF years during its early struggles
for existence-and a more faithful
employee never held ii job OF any
kind.
\ better boy we never knew. He
was without guile and without NAL
! ice. Consideration for others, devo-
ton to duty, and a self-sacrificing
nature were sublime traits OF his
character George Bromell was IL
gentleman-every inch of him. He
had high sense of honor and scorn-
ed to do little thing Modest and
unassuming it was only those who
were brought into intimate associa-
ton with him who knew the innate
goodness and true worth of the man.
Hail and farewell, good friend!
God rest thy noble soul.

While of an eccentric nature Mr.
Engle was liked by all who knew him.
He was jovial in disposition, warm
friend and genial companion. He
had Travelled much, knew a great
deal of the world, and was at
home and made friends wherever
he went. A native of Pennsylvania,
he had spent the most of his life in
the South, Bermuda and Cuba, per-
haps the greater part of it i'll North
Carolina.
By his own provision the body was
shipped to Germantown, Pa, and

health and spirits a cure having ap-

and his suffering was intense. He
was finally induced to go to the hos

MIR. Workman is a poor man and
had to receive assistance from some
Of his friends to enable him to 90 to
the hospital. To all of these he wishes
publicly to extend his grateful and
lasting thanks. He yet owes a bal
ance at the hospital, but this obliga-
ton would soon be discharged and
DR.. kellum would be several times a
millionaire if Mr. Wortham's words
of praise for the Institution and the
officials in charge and what they
have done for him could be coined
into gold.

months absolute rest away from the

sibility for supplying the pulpit and

Value of Advertising.
A sheville Citizen .

Asheville Citizen.
While we do not wish to indulge in
OdiOus comparisons, we would call
attention to the fact that wherever
business reverses have been expert
enced in local circles, it has generally
been found that the unfortunate ones
had either stopped advertising in
the newspapers at a time they most
needed it, Or had never advertised at
all. On the other hand, the mer-
chants who persisted in the use OF
printer ink at a time when it look
ed as if the bottom would drop out OF
everything, weathered the storm sue
cessfully.
This experience, however, is not Pc
culiar to Asheville, for it is a matter
OF record in all parts OF the country
that the persistent advertiser is the
last to go to the wall, if indeed he
ever goes at ALL
