SHOULD MAKE CONNECTION

All hat Would be necessary to make
connection at Wilson between the At
lanHc Coast Line and the Norfolk 4,
southern would be for the Norfolk
& southern to leave Raleigh at ego
instead of 6:35 and for the Atlantic
Coast Line No. "a to leave Wilson at
S:25 a. m. instead Of 8:11.
These small changes would enable
q person TO leave Raleigh at $40 q.
m. and reach Rocky Mount or E,,,
CITY before nine o'clock. AS it is mas
sengers to those and other points q,
ne Atlantic Coast Line must leave
Raleigh on the. Southern. at 4.pn on

i mere IS no reaso why this connac

vice corporations is ridiculously small
in COMPARISON with what is para III
other States having like business OF

increased. The officers ana aSeit@
Of some Of these companies are re-
naming in Raleigh to try TO pre'ent
the proper increase, but the Leslsla-
t,1re will no doubt provide q way Tor
making them pay nearer a falr shafe
of the expenses of government.
Yesterday in the House Speaker
Graham secured the adoption OF an
amendment to the revenue pll' that
looks 70 a change in enforcing the
fax assessments that is the most mn
portant step taken by the General AS
sembly at this session. Some years
ago the Corporation Commission was
made the State Tax Commission. ana
certain powers were delegated 70 IT,
but still exists the anomaly OF Sitl1S
che assessment OF corporations to the
State Auditor. Of Building and loan
Associations to the insurance tOm-
missioner, and other assessing or
taxing powers or the enforcement OF
.he revenue law to other State officials.
The proper assessment OF all ope
private and corporate, will be
reached until il is all put in the CON
troll of the Tax Commission. which
is composed of the Corporation Com
mission. That body has three mem
bers, the most capable chief clerk
who holds office of any kind in North
Carolina, capable and experienced
bank examiners. and two of them are
travelling over the State all the time.
To tia commission should be given
all the taxing power. The duties of
the Auditor and State Treasurer Keep
them in Raleigh. and those duties are
SO important THAT questions Of taxa
ton and tax assessment ought not to
be IMPOSED upon them. All these
matters should be put in the hands
Of the Tax Commission, composed of
the Corporation Commission, and they
hOuld alone assess property and be
held responsible for proper assess
ment. With these duties all under
the Tax Commission there should be
q uniformity that is lacking now and
the States revenues would be in
by merely equalizing the bur-
dens without imposing any new taxes.
In his speech yesterday, Speaker
Graham indicated that when the Ma
chinery bill comes up he will move to
give the "a Commission all the pow
ers and duties that are now divided
several officials. This is right
and is necessary to secure the uni
fornity that Is needed.

The Anglers Song.

oh, the Joy we feel in the waters How
Through the aisles OF the gladsome wHh,
When we take oar rods and their cool
depths wade
To prove our skill at our well-lovcd trnde,
We of the brotherhood.
when the waters roar through the canon
riffs
And over the cataracts fall,
Dashing 'gainst rocks into feathery fohni
Where the speckled beauties now inhke
their home,
And the Ouscl songs enthrnlI.
Where they pause anon in the spreading
plain
To ruffic In coy prctense
AT the suns fierce kiss; or In dusky Slhu''
ddytuu rest IN the grateful shade
OF the willows thick valence.
It's then that We find surccasc OF care,
And the quick pulsations feel
OF new life flooding our stagnRnt veins,
While Hope all enlinence high attains
At the music OF the reel.
Then hey! for the merry rushing hoous
Where the sly trout waiting be.
The slaves Of mammon may have their
wealth.
Give us the peace and the rugged health
OF the anglers life SO Free: ,,,

"In the Midst of Life, We nre In Death
Albert Fletcher better known as
Abbie,) and wife has been living
with his father at the old home for
two years. Over the river trolly
had been constructed for purpose of
crossing during high water time.
Thinking it not sufficiently strong,
Albert remodeIed it on Monday
morning, June IA. On finishing 1t he
had occasion to cross. Standing on
the platform of the trOlly and lie was
about center of river when the wire
began to sag and i'm attempting to
proceed across, the platform struck
the water, the force of which turned
it, precipitating him into the water.
He caught hold of the cable which
broke and he sank. Rising and re-
alizing his perilous position, he val
liantly made strenuous efforts to
swim ashore. However he could not
get from the mad rushing current
and was taken down the river. He
swan 25O yards. Exhausted he sank
lower and lower until he vanished
from the sight of his aged father,
who was the only person who wit
messed the event. Not being reward
cd by his sons reappearance, he hur-
ried to the house and broke the news
to the young, unsuspecting wife.
The scene was heart rending, but at
present writing she is more compos-
ed, but the silent grief for her unfor
tunate husband il pitiful. Her
mother came from Beaver to COM
fort her. Continual search is made
but no trace is found.
This accident has iinbued the hearts
of friends and neighbors with melting
pity, and sympathy is extended to
them all, for he has grown from "a
little boy of 8 years to man of 30, in
our midst. and many are calling all
the while to learn of later reports of
search and exprass sympathy to the
stricken wife, aged father, and BROTH
ers. May the soft rays of Heaven
descend on them and calm their ach-
Ing hearts.
Albert NJ. Fletcher was born at
Shoals. Martin county, Ind, on July
81, 1879. Came to Colorado with his
father this mother being dead,) and
four brothers, In 1884, and have lived
here OH White river ever since. He

Nasario Montoya. "a young man re

injured at $3.50 last night. as the re-
suit of being stabbed by Nicolas Sis
neros. an employe of the Albuquerque
wood Securing mills. Montoya re-
ceived two deep gashes in the stom-
och. and while 1t is believed that none
of the vital organs were seriously IN
jurcd, his condition last night was
considered quite grave and Sisneros
may possibly have to face a charge of
murder. SisnerOs was arrested short
~ after the stabbing and was brought
t the city and placed in jail by
Deputy Sheriff Rodolfo Garcia Of
Martincztown
sisncros said at the police station
that he was walking home with two
Young ladies. when Montoya "butted''
in and attempted to walk along with
them. A fight resulted in which Sis
neros claims Montoya beat him uD
pretty badly, knocking him down
twice. The cutting followed, but the
knife with which Sisncros did he
work could not be found last night.
Sisncros did not deny doing the CUT
ting but claimed that Montoya start
ed the trouble. The fight was wit
messed by several persons who will APP
