The German advance across the frontier had reached as far in Poland as shown by the dotted line on the map when the Russians launched series of attacks from the line of forts to which they had re- tired after having been driven from East Prussia. Two offensive (3) were directed at Przasnysz, the pivotal position of this whole front, one from the south from the Narew river and the other from the west from Ostro- lenka, Lomza and Pultusk. Faced by attacks on two fronts the Ger mans were compelled, after particu-

This attack, the Russians say, split the German line between Ostrolenka and Przasnysz and divided the campaign. Another attack CD was started from north of Grodno, which has carried the Russians into the Avgustovo forest, where hand to hand fighting is raging fiercely.

SPAIN HARD HIT BY WAR.
Industrial Stagnaton Causes Grave Conditions and Disorders.

Madrid, via Paris, March 5, 5:30 a m.-Evidence that Spain is suffering more severely economically from the war than any country except the belligerents is contained in despatche es from provincial centers. Notwith- standing drastic measures taken by the government to prevent monopol- istic prices the cost of food, especial ly bread and meat, continues to rise. The situation is felt acutely by the working classes, already hard by the industrial stagnation resulting from the war. At Pampeluna, Seville, Sar- agossa and Cadiz, economic difficult ties are becoming so serious that the authorities have been obliged to re- sort to drastic expedients.
 Grave disorders have occurred at Murcia where a mob stormed the bakeshops, and civil guards had to bar the gates to keep country people from coming in to increase the tu- mutt.

lot in disable condition. They would
trade with the local merchants, who
would also sell material for the i'm
provements, and the prosperity of
the community would be increased.
A careful study of the question
of taxation will disclose the fact
that it not only affects the manner
of raising revenue, but affects to a
great extent the general prosperity
and progress of the communities.
We must change our idea of taxa
ton. We should raise public reve-
nue. from those values which the
public creates, and liberate those
values which are created by indi-
vidual industry and enterprise.
This plan would not rob anybody;
it would not interfere with legiti-
mate business, but would greatly
benefit all industry; but it would
hinder the man who insists on spec
ulating in land, and he ought to be
hindered.

The State Journal.

The State Journal.
A friend writes us complaining of
the enequality in the assessment of
property for taxation. He has just
cause for complaint. The law re-
quires that all property shall be as
sessed at its true value. This is
not done, and everybody who
knows anything about it knows it is
not done. Not only is property not
assessed at its true value, but there
is the grossest discrimination be-
tween different classes of property
and between different pieces of
property of the same class. We do
not believe this state of affairs is
due in any considerable degree to
favoritism or to wllful neglect of
official duty. We prefer to believe
it is due to the fact that our sys-
TEN of taxation is so fundamentally
wrong that its fair and just appli-
cation is almost impossible. The
system is so wrong that the present
confusion, inequality and injustice
should be regarded as a natural
protest against it. We believe the
law is being administered as well
as it has ever been, and perhaps
better, but we do not look for any
great relief until there is some fun
damental change in our ideas of tax
alton.
Our present system is built up
on the idea that industry and thrift,
should be taxed and that idIeness
should 90 free of tax. With this
idea well fixed in the public mind
how can we expect tax assessors
to value vacant lot, which is idle
and bringing no revenue to the ow-
ner, as high as they do the adjOin-
ing lot of the same real value, but
which brings the owner 800 a
month rent. We venture to say
that cases similar to this can be
found all over the State. Now if
these two lots were taxed exactly
the same, what would happen? I'm
the first place. more tax would be
collected from them, but this IS not
all that would happen; the owner
of the vacant lot would find his tax
so heavy that he would either use
the lot himself or sell it to some
body who is anxious to use it. In
either case Workmen would be en-

twenty millions a trifle over hun

share when we have the best State

licity thinks not. What do you
think?
We do not think North Carolina

We do not think she gets her share
OF those seeking a field of invest
ment or profitable industry. She
will not get her share until the

per cent of the people of Wyoming

Do you know why so large a per-

thought Wyoming a better State
than their own.

is better State than Wyoming,
don't you? And you know that the

who are living in other States would

be, living in North Carolina if they

KINDS OF RHEUMATISM

In popular language the word rheuma. tism is term that covers multitude of ills of which pain is the chief symptom.
 ,Articular rheumatism, infammatory rheumatism and rheumatic fever are all names for the same disease. Muscular rheumatism affects the muscles and does not spread from one spot to another like infammatory rheumatism. Lumbago is a form of muscular rheumatism.
 Some people have rheumatism every winter especially those people who in- herit a rheumatic tendency. They will continue to have recurring attacks until the blood is built up to strength suf- fcient to overcome the rheumatic poi son. External applications and drugs that simply relieve the pain are useless. Dr. Williams Pink Pills build up the blood and really correct the trouble.
 With the poisons in the blood there is continual combat between the health forces and the disease. When the rheu- matic poison prevails the blood gets thin rapidly. When the blood is made rich and red by pr. Williams Pink Pills tho poisons are destroyed and expelled.
 The free booklet Building Up the Blood" tells the whole story and the diet book "What to Eat" will be sent on re- quest by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

Here is a very charming, attractive and graceful skirt designed for young girls and for small women. It consists of one straight piece, plaited, consequently it gives long lines and long lines are very apt to be becoming. It can be made quite plain and finished at the slightly raised waist line or it can be cut off and joined to plain yoke and this yoke can be used with or without suspenders It is very attractive and useful skirt as we'll as fashionable one, excellent for the coat suit and for general wear, ad- mirable for school and for similar needs. With the suspenders and yoke, it takes on quite different effect from the plain plaited skirt, but the two are equally fashionable and equally desirable. Sus-- penders are to make something of a feature of the autumn fashions and are being extensively used. In the one view the skirt is made of Scotch tweed in a rich shade of brown with threads of red; in the other, it is made of Navy blue gabardine, with suspenders and yoke of tafeta, but as matter of course, these last could match the skirt if preferred.
 For the I6 year size will be required 5I yds. of material 27 in. wide, 4 yds. 36 or Al, 2V yds. 54, with "A yd. additional material for the suspenders in either 3o Sr 54 inch width.
 The pattern No. 875o is cut in sizes for .o and 18 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of his paper, on receipt of ten cents.
