THE CLUT OF COLD.

The output of the gold mines
of the Rand, Transvael, South
Africa, was more than a million
dollars worth in the month of
May, a gain of a. quarter of a
million dollars over the yield of
the mines in the same month of
last year. This is gaining at
the rate of about three million
a year, and indicates that the
worlds gold harvest is increas-
ing at the rate of ten million
dollars annually assuming that
other districts are keeping pace
with the Rand. This is full of
significance to those who properly
consider it. The nations of the
earth and the banking institu-
tons are boarding gold in enor-
nous quantities; but they cannot
hoard it fast enough to keep the
constantly growing output from
affecting prices. The general
rise in prices, the world over, is
attributable solely to the depre-
citation of gold in consequence of
increased supply. Gold is the
measure of values; and just as
fast as gold is cheapened by in
creased production, just so fast
will the general level of prices be
raised. This is so simple a pro-
position that it seems strange
that it is not more generally
understood. The creditor class
understand it we'll enough and
are worrying about it. TIE glut
of gold is a specter that will moi
down.

The County Superintendent.

Editor Hustler: see by a
notice in recent issue Of your
paper that the Board of Educa-
ton will soon be called upon to
elect a county superintendent of
schools. This is a very impor-
tant position and I hope the
Board will pick out a competent
man who is actively engaged in
teaching, as the law suggests.
We have had enough politics in.
the school work of the county
and the people are tired of the
superintendent's Office being
used as a stepping stone to some
political office. No one connect
ed with politics, in any capacity,
should be chosen county superin-
tendent.
We want a man elected with
whom the people generally will
cooperate; one who will devote
his entire time to the work. AS
l said in starting out to write
this letter, politics and the
schools ought to be separated
and must be to obtain good re-
suits. Let the Hustler CORE
spondents in the various sections
of the county find out the senti-
ment of their people upon this
matter and speak out about it.
The Board is composed of fair
minded men and they will not
object to hearing suggestions,
being the servants of all the peo-
pie. For my part, | am fully
convinced that no political boss
has any business with the office
of county superintendent.
Yours very truly,
r. M. PRYOR.

BOLD, BAD BURGLARS.

Burglars, supposed to be of
dusky hue, known to be unmar-
ried, broke into Mrs. Posey's.
millinery store, Saturday night,
broke open the money drawer,
took the contents, amounting to
one dollar, and departed, taking
not one of those delicious peach
barket hats or any feminine
finery with them, wherefore it is
known they were men enjoying
single blessedness.
Entrance to the store was gain
ed through the rear window by
removing one of the iron bars.
Unsuccessful attemgts were
also made to get into Hunters
Pharmacy and into J. D. Boyd's
store.

TAXATION AND TAXES.

UMNO AA1e-SS
A few weeks ago The Hustler
had a few words to say about the
inequalities of taxation, and in a
comparison of rate of valuation
used Mecklenburg county as one
of the examples, which compare
son did not rebound to the very
great credit of that otherwise ex-
cellent division of the Common
wealth.
Whether or not the assessors
will come clean in their figures
this year remains to be seen; but
the article never touched our
neighbor. Now comes one of the
new aldermen of the city of Char
lotte- thel Queen City of the Car
olinas- where the expenses of
the city exceeds it's income, by
$4,000 a year, we are told, and
points out the very principle we
went on record against. This is
the outrageously low assessment
of real estate. From the interview
theNews prints, we take these
lines:
''The fellow who has moth
ing but an old buggy and
horse, or a little household
and kitchen furniture, is re-
quired. to list it at it's actual
value, and swear to it him
self. If he's a conscientious
| man he had rather swear to
the truth than to save a few
dollars. The results he pays
tax on the full value of his
property. The man who owns
the valuable store building
up town, or any other real
esta tie for that matter, has
the swearing done by the as
SCISSORS, and gets off about
/ Is to 80 cents on the dollar.
Is there any discrimination
in that %
Now, it is not our purpose to
hold up the city of Charlotte as
an example of this wickedness,
because it is no more guilty of
the sin than many other munich
palities and counties in the state,
and our former article was not
intended to apply to any one To-
cality or division of territory.
We did then, and do still, plead
for an even assessment on all
property in the state, and con-
tend that taxes will be insignif-
cantly more under a true valua-
ton than they are now under the
low and distorted system, by
which system no two localities
are subject to the same ratio of
taxation, different boards of as
sessment using different systems
to arrive at what each one thinks
= is the permissible figure. Need
less, also, is it to say that the
ideas of no two boards will CO.
incide.
Begging our good sister towns
pardon for making use of her
name, we invite the tax assessors
to take advantage of her expert
ence, without going to the ex-
pense of starting a little school
of their own.
