Review of Problems and Accomplishments of the State
Government During Period of 19l1-l2

| the approval OF portion of our people
| In some sections of the state and may
| have worked in isolated instances
! hardships upon some of our citizens.
il must be remembered that any inno-
walton OF this kind would necessarily
| bring forth such results and, in coming
to conclusion as to the merits of this
matter, we should consider the general
good of the state and not individual
instances where hardships have been
worked through a misunderstanding of
officers whose duty it has been to en-
force the law, There can be no ques-
ton but what full valuation of all
taxable property will necessarily result
In untold good to the state wherein
enforced because ii not only secures
that uniformity of valuation which is
necessary to secure fair distribution
of the burdens OF government, but re-
suits in q low tax rate that of itself in
vites intending settlers and investors.
The beneficial results of my unsWerV-
ing attitude in this regard are already
apparent to our people and will become
plain to ali when the prejudice engen-
dered by the enforcement OF the law
has been dissipated by careful consid-
Grafton of the benefits that have ac-
crued. If the enforcement of the law
had simply called to the attention of
the people OF the state the deficiencies
and defects Of the law, l still would
maintain that my efforts on that line
had been of untold value to our people:
but our revenue laws, while defective
and imperfect, have been based upon a
correct principle so far as the valuation
of taxable property is concerned, and,
its enforcement, although necessarily
defective on account of the inefficient
machinery therefor provided BY statute
has believe, convinced our people
that the idea should be maintained In
the future.
Commission Necessary.
The experience of the eighteen states
of the Union in which tax commissions
have seen provided for. has demon
strated that a commission of this Kind
is absolutely necessary 10 properly
carry out and enforce with justice toll
both the state ana the taxpayers any

lature did not choose to adopt my
earnestly made suggestion with refer
ence to such a commission, enough has I
been done and the matter has been suf-
ffciently presented to the attention OF
the people of the state to insure by |
proper legislation the creation of such I
commission IN the future
The 40 per cent of valuation for tax
alton purposes was insisted upon by a /
majority of its members at the extra
ordinary session Of the legislature, and, I
although bitterly opposed to this idea,

Real Babies Engaged for School Girls to Nurse

school girl of Washington. Real
houses are to be loaned for the course,
and-what's more--real babies are to
be furnished for demonstration pur-
poses. These plans for making the
school courses in domestic science
more practical and instructive are
owing to impetus given by Mrs. Arch
ihald Hopkins. who is prominent In
all social service endeavors in the cap
ital
The resent prospect is for two OF
these houses. One is modern cot

ALL LOCK- FOR GRATITUDE
Nothing That Can Be Bestowed Is
Able to Take Its Place i'm the
Human Heart. l

Gratitude given or received is one
of the best things in the world We
need far more of it and far better quail
ity. Yet I have never read any salts
factory account of what it so glorious
'ly, means. It's value begins just where
the value of pay ends. Thanks are
personal, and attempt to fit an ade-
quate response to the particular serv-
ice performed. Pay is an impersonal
coin which has been handed out to
many before it reaches you, and will
go to many others when it leaves you.
1t is your right and you are not CRATE
full for it. But thanks are free gift
and enrich the giver. There is no
nobler art than the art of expressing
ones gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed,
unexaggerated terms which answer
devotion with fresh devotion, fancy
with new fancy, charity with SINGER
ity. Artists who get their reward
only in money and in the stale plaud-
it's of clapping hands are restless for
something more individual. They
want to be intimately understood and
beautifully answered. For such graft
tude they look to brother artists, to
the few who really understand. There
they find their best reward-but even
this leaves something wanting.-The

within dangerous proximity, and then
well, everybody who has been there

Mrs. Scruggs, who is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs Eugene Leger of this

company with Leland Leger, her
brother, and the Rev. DR.. Thompson,

were quietly married. Following the

Miitiamen Spurn Departments Plea to Be Cooks

Much speculation as 20 the attitude
of the militia officers has been in
dulged in by the department heads.
with little satisfaction. Some have
ventured the opinion that -four and
dough might soil their glistening uni
forms, and the fact that they are en-
ployed in the kitchen might lessen
their majesty in front of the fair sex
an inducement has offered to keep se-
cret the list of men who apply for
kitchen instruction, and as to the 9TH
er objection, aprons would, of course,
be provided while the pupil mixes
dough.
Aside from the ability to mix flour
and water, the military requirements
for entrance to the Biscuit College"
demand that budding officer-cook
must be of sound health and good
moral character. Incidentally in set
ting forth the requirements, the mi
litia division bars officers above the
rank of colonel.
The appeal for oficer-cooks, how
ever, is genuine, and If there is any
militia member in Cleveland who is
anxious to excel in the finest art the
world has known, confer a favor upon
a perplexed war department and write

Many Undraped Scarecrows in Military Service

years ago were hardy German and
Irish emigrants of stocky build, which
may account for the great difference
in the percentage of strong men in the
army now.
Many recruits from the country dis
tricts of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mis-
sissippi are found to be ill fed and I'M
der weight, and Capt Jones states
that the universal custom of waving
several pounds under the minimum
weight gets many an undraped scare
crow into the service"
Capt. Jones further says: 1--WE
must take the figures cautiously. AS
l have said, l think there is no doubt
that we are getting different type OF
man in the service today from what we
got years ago. He may be just as
good and he may have more brains,
but he does not seem to have
as much Drawn. Whether the present
day recruit would last as well under
the old conditions of hard frontier
service, with sanitary conditions far
inferior to those of the present time,
is hard to say, but l think 1t doubtful
IL he would The high percentage os
strong men in 1876 to 1879 may be
due to the fact that recruiting, at least
in this part of the country, was not
very active then, and the army could
pick its men, accepting only the hard
lest and the best"

Practically no loss was incurred by

Such cave as this one, large enough
for 900 boxes of apples. can be built
for $3.50 to $500, not including the ex-
cavating, which should not be eXpen-
sive. Inside the cave measures "a feet

Ventilation was provided by means of

and coming to the surface three rods
from the cave.
After the fruit had been stored about

The Blame For Unruiy Children n.

Where the family discipline is lax
and the children are in full possession
of the reins and do the driving, what
conduct can you expect when they at
tend school? The foundations of the
public school are laid upon obedience.
No teaching worthy the name can be
conducted without it. An appalling
amount of time, for which our tax
payers are furnishing the money. and
at which they are continually grnm-
bling, is expended in the determined
effort to bring these unruly children
of said taxpayers to state of submits
sion. Oftentimes, corporal punishment
is reSOrted to in order to enforce ODE
dience. and rightly so. Parents who
have failed to make their children
mind at home have no right to com
plain when they are punished at
school.-Suburban Life Magazine.

They Are Wild and Live Along Shores
of Albemarle Sound.

They Are Wild and Live Along Shores
of Albemarie Sound.
In North Carolina along the shores
of Albemarle sound lie miles of low
sandy banks the greater part of which
are covered with little vegetation save
coarse grass, wild parsley and other
salt water weeds. To this region re-
pair the hunters In search of the can
vasback duck that frequent the little
streams and salt marshes with which
this coast abounds.
Ranging some of these banks are a
breed Of small wild horses, says the
New York Press. known locally as
banker ponies" They are quite un-
cared for, have rough, shaggy coats
and are generally about twice the size
OF Shetland ponies, now and then one
attaining the size of a small horse.
Each year the herd owners drive them
into pens, where the foals are brand
ed with the owners mark, and those
required are caught and sold to the
uedleTS. 1T is Sdlu IueSp DedSCS nave
to be starved into eating grain and hay
or grass, their whole subsistence up to
this time having been the rank salt
grass of the marshes and fish. The
latter they catch for themselves at low
tide, using their hoofs to dig deep
holes in the sand below highwater
mark. and they greedily devour the
fish left stranded in these holes. often
fighting over an especially tempting
fish.
In captivity these horses are said to
display intelligence, though seldom a
reliable temper. They are tanned by
darkness and senistarvation and make
excellent draft animals, showing
strength far beyond their size. They
eat voraciously, consuming as much
as full sized horses. The foals bred
from banker ponies" in captivity
make valuable animals. They are
strong, healthy and intelligent, less vi
cious than their parents and command
good prices.
