INEQUALITY OF TAXES.

AS the time draws near for listing
property the following editorial from
the Morganton News-Herald makes
good reading
THE inequality Of taxes asst exists
in Burke county today land no doubt
in other counties also) is shame on
US and there should be an adjustment.
Go to the tax lists in the Court House
land they are open to the public and
you will find returns that must have
been a terrible strain on the consci-
ence of those making them, if they
have any conscience; and on the 9TH
err hand you will find a large number
Of property owners who place fan
valuation on their possessions. In
fact, these conscientious men are the
ones who are paying the taxes, while
the other fellows are busy talking a.
bout being oppressed and wondering
what becomes of the ''big taxes"
they pay.
If anyone is oppressed it is the man
who gives in his taxes right, and the
fellow who lodges should be made
to cough up Then perhaps the
levy could be reduced, and the con-
scientious man would not have the
burden of his sinful neighbor to car
nv.
And, again, it is no doubt a temp
tation to some men to do wrong, when
they wish to do right, when they see
the shamefully low valuation placed
on their neighbours property.
LET US have an equalization of as
sessments for taxes. We do not know
of a reform that is more needed"

The cold weather throughout the
country and especially in the South
last week did untold damage to crops
and fruit. There was reported snow
and sleet and frost through Georgia
Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Many thousands of acres of cotton
was killed and cannot be replanted
on account of the scarcity of seed.
The crop will be cut short something
like 10000 bales. The loss to the
fruit crop cannot be estimated at
this writing. The loss comes as a
heavy blow both to the farmer and
fruit grower.

ROW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II IS an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kin.
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
in the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide
''gets at the joints from the inside, y
sweeps the poisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide STRIKES
the root of the disease and removes
its cause" This splendid remedy is

Death Of Mrs. George Kirk.

Halifax, N. c., May 3.-We have
been called upon to submit to anoth-
er earthly loss recently, in the death
of our last sister, Mrs. George Kirk,
Of Portsmouth, Va. Just why she
should be taken at this time, we OF
course are unable to understand;
doubtless the Lord had use for her
in the upper and better realm, for
we are convinced that she is now
with her Redeemer, for the reason
that her life here since early child
hood has been one of faith, and un-
broken. trust in Him whom she
recognized as her daily guide. Hers
was life above the average; not
given to complaining at misfortunes
of whatever nature, or how hard to
endure. The most we have ever
heard her say about our younger
sisters death, who died at the age
of 20, was that she just could not
understand it, and there it ended.
She loved life, not so much for
the things she could get out of it,
but for what she could put into it.
Most of us are prone to try and get
the most out of life, without trying
to put much into it. This is most
serious mistake, that is only realized
some time when too late to retrieve.
Her life was full life forethought
and consideration for others, her
friends receiving deep, unselfsh love
in return for confidence. Her life
was bright, beautiful and sunshiny,
and was not confined to her home
and friends alone, but radiated IN
every sphere in which she moved.
No enemies were hers that we ever
heard of; she had the capacity for
winning and retaining friends.
Sweet, lovable, confding, sympa-
thetic and helpful in various ways,
she richly deserved the love of her
husband and little boy who lavished
affection upon her without stint.
The loss which they sustain is great
indeed. We commend them to the
great sympathic heart Of the Savior
Of men.
Our sisters life, though compare
lively short-just twenty-five years
was resultful in good in many
ways; of sweet temperament, and
sunshiny disposition, she often dis
PEELED the dark, lowering clouds, in
sitting hope and courage to faint
heart. The religion which she pro-
fessed meant something to her, as
she was never ashamed to own her
Lord. Will not her life be some
what of an inspiration to those who
knew her best and loved her most
Lord. let US so live, and by constant
striving seek to incorporate some OF
the simple, but beautiful attributes
which were hers, into our own little
live, that our end may be as satisfac.
tory as we believe hers to have

The Nashville Graphic speaks

truth when it says
cit is not infrequent that newspa-
pers find themselves unappreciated
by the men whom they have favored
by their support, column after col
umn being published in their favor,
and yet such favors when the tests
comes, are unappreciated. When
you find your home paper taking no
interest in you or your success, when
you find it keeping aggravatingly 81
lent when you think the editor should
be tearing his linen in your behalf,
do not work yourself into fever of
anxiety as to the cause, but just ask
yourself wherein have you placed
the paper and it's editor under obi
cations to use space and energy for
YOU"

The editor of Webster's Weekly

The editor OF WebSter'S Weekly
tells our experience when he says
1T is natural that every newspa-
per hates to lose subscriber. But
Oftentimes the loss of name causes
more amusement than sorrow in an
office. For instance, when man has
been reading the paper for ten or
eleven years without paying for it,
and then sends word that he doesn't
care for it any longer, or simply pla-
ces the paper back in the postoffice
and has the postmaster mark on it
refused" Sometimes fellow will
go around telling that he has stop
ped his paper because he didn't like
its policies, when, maybe the editor
has cut his name off several weeks
before and he then has in his pockets
dun for several years back sub
scription. Funny, isn't it? But then.
we presume it is only human nature
creeping out. Every newspaper has
troubles, but it isn't much of a trou-
BILE to cut off the list man who has
not paid anything towards the pa
per's support in the last ten years"

campaigning for reelection, has had
to endure the circulation of a docu-
ment in which the following state
ments are made:
Public office public trust.
Eugene Hale, United States senator
and representative for twenty-eight
years; annual salary, $500.
Clarence Hale. brother of Eugene
Hale. United States district Judge,

Fortunately for California. the senti-
ment of the nation is in favor of the
conservation of natural resources,
which is rightfully regarded as one of
the most patriotic of the Roosevelt

SAYS CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD
OBEY LAW CONCERNING PASSES

Los ANGELES, Feb. 26.-EEditor
Herald: The constitution of Califor-
mia is the supreme law of the state,
and any law that conflicts with it is
null and void. The constitution of
1S49 did not forbid public officers from
riding on passes, for the state then had
no railways. The constitution of 1879,
revised and ratified by the people, does
forbid it, and in clear and unmistak-
able language, and fixes the penalty of
violation in the loss of office. There
is no exceptional clause in it and no
proViso that detracts from its rigidity;
and yet our city attorney has eX-
pressed his opinion that it is not un-
lawful for members of the council to
use these forbidden passes when on
public business. If the law means
anything it means what it says, and
having been made with ordinary COM
mon sense it can be interpreted by the
same in any individual. To ask the
city attorney what such a clear and
explicit law means is as needless as
to asl. him what the city ordinance
means which says a man shall not
smoke on the front end of street car
The constitution further declares that
it's provisions are mandatory and
prohibitiVe unless by express words
they are declared to be otherwise" If
he has discovered any express words
that leave a loophole for business
rides" he should reveal the section and
article, and prove that his opinion has
