OF Major John Warwick Daniel
What you said Of nv old conrad.

deserved, Nav l aad some words
OF appreciation to your able and
beautiful tribute.
Major Daniel filled every no.
sItIon he occupied as he passed
through this life. with singular
ability, fidelity and efficiency. In

Roanoke: as an orator. the peer
OF Henry Clay; on the floor of the
Senate, at the bar. on the stump
or anywhere else, his eloquent
tongue never failed to hold the
attention of his audience and at
times to keep his hearers spell
bound. To illustrate the power
of his eloquence. let me give the
testimony of MIR. w. w. Corco-
ran of Washington city.
A friend ted me that some one
askedMr. Ccrcoranwhat hethought
OF Senator Daniels grafton at the
unveiling of the recumbent statpe
OF Gen. Il. Z. Lee IN the Chapel
at Lexington. Mr.. COrcoran' s.re-
ply was. the only objection had

about three hours long. When il
IS remembered that the Grafton
was about three hours long, and
thatMr. CorcOran had such orators
as Clay, Calhoun and Webster
the Grafton must have been re-
markabiy eloquent.
As a VirgInian. he gloried in
her illustrious history and tradi-
ions. Being to the manner

THURSDAY. JUL2E Is, 1910.

Mr.. Z. NJ. BLAKE has about
completed his work Of placing a
fair. just and at the same time
considerably increased assessment
upon the lands and building of
the county, 1t was understood
when he was appointed that he
was expected to raise the assess
ment in all cases where property
was undervalued and these cases
were many. Concerning this SUP
jet of valuation, especially the
low rate in Underwater, there has
been much discussion of late and
the Concensus of opinion. both of
officials and private citizens. has
been that an increase of the asses
ssd value was imperatively neces-
Sary.
This need we believe that the
assessor has met by an universal
but at the same time fa;r ana con-
sentative raise. The total asses
sed value of the lands and build
Ings of the county for the year
1909 was $643.4oo.67. for the year
1910 according to the new assess
ment it will be $oII,Io7.77, an
increase OF $267,6oS.I4. This
may seem 10 many a great IN
crease but TO us it seems hardly
enough, certainly not too much.
When you recall that many acres
ot land having a market value of
$tno, 90. were formerly assessed
at s. 90 the increase will seem
a conservative one. Should any
one be assessed too highly he may
secure redress bv proving this fact
TO the circuit court, on the other
hand if his property is valued too
low he may appeal to the tax
commission for an increase. By
these wise precautions all tax
payers are protected from injury
through the mistakes of any as
SCISSOR.
We are informed. and obser-
walton has proven correctly so. |
that the higher the taxes paid |

us are those people. The money
paid by you for taxes comes back |
TO you in the shape of better
schools and better roads. See TO
1t therefore that you prove your
loyalty as citizens by receiving
this increase Of taxes in the pro-
per spirit instead Of growing
abont it.
