PROSPECTS FOR SUCCESS IN
TENTH DISTRICT ARE FINE.

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 11.--Oemocratic
State Chairman Thomas D. Warren, at
state headquarters, says campaign af-
fairs are moving splendidly and the
party has easy sailing in all parts of
the state. The Tenth congressional
district is the only section that has
any trouble that was really serious
and that is being lined up now splen-
didly,
He has received a nice letter from
R. R. Reynolds, defeated candidate for
the democratic nomination for con-
gress, pledging his best support and
rendering his services for campaign
purposes wherever needed. He says
he is convinced that Mr.. Reynolds will
give full support to Congressman
Gudger for reelection and that the
friends of Mr.. Reynolds who were be.
Iieved to be seriously estranged from
supporting Mr.. Gudger, are rallying to
the support of the entire democratic
ticket.
So that the party will present a
solid front in it's fight for Mr.. Gudger
against his republican opponent.

LEGISLATURE AND TAXES.
Discussion of One to Ten Proposed
Constitutional Amendments to be
Voted On.

One of the ten amendments to the
Constitution proposed by the commits
sion appointed for the purpose of
looking into. the subject, eight of them
seem to be beyond all right. The
seventh amendment about taxes may
be more or less discussed and contro-
verted, and the ninth amendment
about, charters for cities and towns
will probably be much controverted.
The State Constitution now pro-
vides for a uniform assessment
throughout the State, also uniform tax.
rate throughout the State This UNI
form restriction, according to thu
amendment. is to be eliminated, SO as
to leave the Legislature to classify diff
ferent property and hold the money
from each different class subject tn
appropriation for specific purposes
This latter is. not part Of the provision
of the amendment, but it is what the
Legislature may do if the whole sub
ject is left to the Legislature.
Everybody knows that the present
system of >uniform assessments and
uniform taxation does not work, not
even approximately Therefore, it
would seem desirable to authorize the
Legislature to make such laws unre-
stricted by the Constitution as might
be available to get a better system Of
taxation It is thought by many that
classification of property and segrega-
ton of tax money on different classes
Of property, and then applying the
principle of local taxation wherever
possible, and then passing laws to
bring out personal property for taxa
ton. which is now in hiding, might
tend greatly to benefit our taxing
system.
The Legislature would be free to
adopt the present system if it thinks
best to do SO, or it might make the
taxes on all corporations go to the
State, the taxes on all real estate and
live stock go to the county, State, the
taxes on all real estate buildings in a
town, and also personal property, go
to the town. These would be an in
finite variety of possible methods of
taxing open to be considered by the
Legislature. If the amendment car
RES, it would then be the duty of the
Legislature to formulate taxing sys-
tenn unrestricted by the Constitution

Editor Democrat:
We certainly do hope with all our
heart that our Asheville friend is a
false prophet when it comes to fore
telling future events. He says that
after the European war is over the
people will return to their peaceful
arts-and we suppose Christendonl
will get busy to make some more bat
tleships and engines of war and in
hundred years hence all rise up and
kill each other then return to their
peaceful arts" We do hope with all
our heart that after the present war
is over that "the kingdom of this
world will become the kingdom of our
Lord that they shall beat their
swords into pillow shears and their
spears into pruning hooks, and learn
war no more" That "every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess" that
"all in their graves shall come forth, =
''that the knowledge of the Lord shall:
cover the earth as the waters cover
the sea-" that nothing shall hurt or
DESTROY in all Gods holy kingdom. >
that God will write his law in every
mans mind and heart" that the broth

earth, that satan will be bound and
killed, that all mankind will be re-
leased from the sentence Of death and

F! These are some of his figures: The
fresh meats imported In five months
amounted to los APT ,951 pounds and
can goods to 9.403,6 14 pounds. Also.

His advice on raising hogs was that
they need three things. 1st, The hog
is pasture animal. End. Plenty of
freedom and proper food are needed.
3rd, A good prolific SOW should be
kept for best results.
And this discussion on hog cholera
was good. Iowa said hog was q
mortgage litter. The state now says
hog is a mortgage maker. The dis
ease has come in the United States in
waves at different times and is known
in all parts of the country, being
found in Henderson county. His idea
of people keeping clean pens, and pas
lures and burying carcases s feet deep
or burning them is worth studying. He
made good suggestion ON having ten
or fifteen men of, section grow
enough hogs for a car load lot to be
shipped to Richmond or some good
market. This cool section is adapted
well to hog raising. Why not raise
them?
Farm Life School.

Yocate of the movement because he

Mr.. CheseTN was speaker of the day
and made some strong hits for the pre-
sevation Of our birds. He is a repre-
sentative of the Audubon society.
Mr.. Perkins spoke of the utility and
cost of putting water systems into our

making, cooking and house work. Mrs
