Tax Assessment.
Charlotte Chronicle. }

Under the new law, the State and
county revenues from taxation will
be quite materially increased, as it is
believed much OF the inequalization
that has existed heretofore will be
eliminated The Raleigh correspon-
dent of the Greensboro News says
that on the first day of May of this
year the county and assistant tax
assessors began the work of making
an entirely new assessment of the
property of the citizens of the State
Last year the total property in the
State was listed, for taxing purpos-
es, at something over $611 ,OOO,O 900,
an increase of something more than
$1S, 100000 over the year 1909.
With a total property value in this
State estimated at more than 81
500, 100000, a conservative esti-
mate has placed the probable value
of the property listed this year for
taxation at something about $780,
100000 to 1926, 100000, while
there are some who estimate not
more than $75O,OOO,OOO. "The
Corporation Commission, which is
also the State Tax Commission,
says the correspondent, "is given
greatly increased machinery for max
ing an equitable assessment of the
property of the State and with the
proper support of the county asses
sOrs and the assistant assessors
there is no reason why there should
not be great increase in taxable
property on the tax books. Then in
making estimates, the fact that
values in this State have increased
at a rapid rate during the past four
years must be taken into considera-
ton" In giving instances OF ine-
quality, this correspondent says that
sit is the machinery that has been
provided for making an equitable
assessment-putting lands in some
sections which are assessed unrea-
sonably low on a proper level with
other lands, equally as good. 1t is
probable that beginning this year
some people who have been bearing
too large a burden of taxation will
bear less, and some who have not
been bearing enough, will bear more.

KEEPING MONEY AT HOME.
Wilson Daily Times.)

Every dollar that is sent away
from the State, the county, or the
community means the separation
from just so much energy and crea..
tive substances. Purchases made at
home, and all possible purchases
should be made at home, leaves the
money in the community and as the
blood circulates in the human body
so the money of the community, it's
commercial life blood, moves into
every part OF the commercial body,
injecting life and activity. AS every
physician will tell you, the depletion
OF the blood of the human body ema-
ciates and saps vitality until the
body, unable to exert the ordinary
and necessary functions, wastes
away and death results. And so it
is with the commercial body. Dol
lars sent away for clothing, or i'm
plements, or food or anything what
soever withdraws just so much Wit
alizing financial fluid, which consti-
tutes working capital which indus
try must have in order to operate.
The farmer who makes his living at
home for he is the only kind that
has money!, and lends it to his
neighbor or to any industry or
places it in bank SO the bank can
do the same thing, is sending to some
part OF the commercial body the vi
talizing fluid so necessary to it's life
and development, and the good
housewife who makes it point to
buy what she needs from the home
merchant does the same thing.
Now just think of the matter one
moment and see how your business
would be effected if all should follow
the policy OF ordering everything
needed, to say nothing of the loss to
the community of the money so nee
essary to keep it going and to build
greater city, a more prosperous
and happier people. Suppose the
farmers should club in and order
their fertilizers, their meat, hay and
-four and agricultural implements
from other cities, where would the
time and the local merchant come
in, and how could the merchant ac-
cumulate sufficient capital with
which to handle his business and
purchase the farmers cotton and to-
bacco and his eggs, butter and chick
ems?
Suppose the manufacturer should
decide to turn off all of his help and
send away to secure others, because
they have had a little more expe-
rience in some other mill, wouldn't
you think it little hard? And yet
when you send your money away to
make purchases that can be secured
at home you are taking from the
community money that should re-
main and business from the mer-
chant that rightly belongs to him
by all the relationship OF environ
ment, friendship, and mutual inter-
dependence, for the ties that bind a
people together should be those of a
kindred and helpful nature for it has
been demonstrated since the dawn of
creation that man cannot live alone.

MR.. EDISON'S LATEST WONDER.
New Storage Battery Street Car Just
Put in Operation at Concord.
Charlotte Chronicle

For over ten years past, the great
inventor, Thomas A. Edison, bas
been working on an invention de-
signed to do away with the pole lines
OF trolley cars-tO run an electric car
by a storage battery. There were
a great many difficulties to over
come, but he has at last succeeded
IN his work, as was clearly demon
strated in the operation Of a storage
battery street car at Concord a few
days ago. 1t represents the latest
improved storage battery car, and
its success may mean the eventual
disappearance OF the overhead wire
cars of today.
This storage battery car is ope-
rated on the same principles as the
trolley car. That is to say, mo-
torman from IL trolley car could
jump on to storage battery car
and run it as he would the trolley
car. Millions of dollars have been
expended in the efforts to perfect the
storage battery car. The one that
has been finally perfected and that
is In operation in Concord, is known
as the Beach car. 1t is equipped
with the Edison batteries, which, in
stead of using the corrosive acid
electrotype, use potash solution. The
fumes given off are hydrogen and
oxygen, and these attack neither
steel, wood, paint nor any other ma
terial. While the old type sulphuric
acid battery required fourteen hours
to charge, this battery can be
charged in five hours Short cir
cults or overcharging does not iniure
the batteries in any way, and in ad-
ditiOn to these virtues it is only sew
enty-tive per cent. as heavy as d lead
battery.
The car possesses several wide de-
partures from the regular trolley ear
construction. The roof is a double
roof, having an eight board top, COW
cred with waterproof material and
light press board sub-rOOf or cell
ing. By this means alone 1000
pounds has been eliminated in the
construction of the car
The car used in Concord weighs
about six and one-half tons as COM
pared with fifteen tons for a trolley
car of similar seating capacity. The
current consumed while running any
such a trolley ear will operate four
Beach" cars.
The use of the storage battery car
eliminates the unsightly poles and
costly overhead trolleys and feed
wires, also the bonded track with it's
ground return and it's accompany
ing eating of water and gas pipes by
steam currents. 1t means the elimi-
nation OF all trolley wire troubles
such as broken wires during sleet
storms and stalled cars during thun-
der storms and allows the stately
trees found along all the streets to
stand unmOlested. An incident
showing tie effect of eliminating the
overhead wire occurred in Washing
ton last winter, when similar car
was in operation. During a severe
sleet storm all wires were broken and
in Washington the only car operat-
ing was the Beach" car.
