4 Loved 0ne Gone.

Jordan G.. Henson was born June
20. l64i and after lingering illness
of more than one year, departed this
life Jan. %, 1919. Brother Henson
professed faith in Christ and united
with the Methodist Church when 1S
years of age, and lived a consistent
member until his death. He was mar
ried to Martha L. Farmer April %,
1869.
Mr., Henson lived a model life that
will ever live in the memory of those
with whom he associated. He was ev-
er ready to respond to the call of his
church in the advancement OF Chris.'s
Kingdom in the world He was NO
BILE and generous hearted Christian
gentleman, always ready to help the
objects of charity and to help lit
them to higher standard of religious
liberty. He leaves beloved wife and
nine children to mourn the loss of
dear husband and father, but our loss
is his eternal gain.
He was loved by all who knew him.
His kindly nature and laudable traits
of character will live long in the men =
DRY of those nearest and dearest to
him. He loved them in return with
such unselflshness that in the hour
OF their grief could he have spoken he
would have said, st is Gods will.
am willing and ready to respond TO
the call of my Master who doeth all
things we'll" Near the~last he con.
versed but little, seeming to be quiet
ly resting until with smiling face his
spirit winged its flight to that eterna
home where pain and sorrow never
come and where all is peace. Such
submissiveness gives Us clear con.
caption of what was in the Apostle:
mind when he exclaimed "oh, deatf
where Is thy sting, oh grave, where is
thy victory" 1t can be truly said
that a good man has gone from US.
Alter a very appropriate funera
service by the Rev. Bennett and Br'

signed to the tombn near Henson's Chap

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never
have a movement without it is

of them have brought that condi-
ton on themselves by the use of
mineral waters and strong cath
artics that take too much water
out of the system and aggrevate
the disease they are meant to re.

Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence
without realizing the cause of
their suffering. Day after day
they are racked with backache
and headache; suffer from ner-
vousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Perhaps
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of tiltering the blood
and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys
assist them in their work give
them the held they need. You
can use no more highly recco.

from a sufferer in this locality:

10 the Tax Payers Of North Carolina.

..
EDITOR DEMOCRAT: The Gener-
al Assembly just adjourned, has
imposed a responsibility upon
the Corporation Commission as a
State Tax Commission which it
feels unable to properly meet
without the tax payers Of t h e
State. AS Chairman of the Com
mission, I desire to take the peo-
pie into the confidence of the
Commission and acquaintthem
with the purpose Of the General
Assembly and request of them
their full cooperation in aiding
us in the proper discharge of our
duties.
For many years, it has been
the law that every persons prop
erty should be assessed for tax
alton at it's full value in money.
Notwithstanding this law. near
ly everybody in the State has es'
capped a full valuation of his prop
erty for taxes. The General AS
sembly, just adjourned, has said
by passing the Revaluation Act,
that an end must be made of this
condition and that hereafter prop
erty must be valued for taxes at
it's true value. 1t places the res
possibility upon our commission
to see that this is done and it
must and shall be done. tits the
purpose Of the General Assem-.
bly, upon a proper valuation be-
ing made, to lower the tax rate,
and it will meet after the proper.
ty has been assessed, for that
purpose, so that the burden upon
the tax payers will not necessar.
lily be increased. This is assured
to us as a Commission and we in
turn desire to assure the tax pay
ers of the State that a full valua-
ton of their property will moi
mean greatly increased amount
of taxes. The act under which
this assessment is made provides
that the State, no county or mu'
nicipality shall collect in excess
of ten per cent more taxes after
this revaluation is made than is
being collected in 1919 under the
present valuation.
I call upon the people of thu
state to assist the commission il
the selection of a splendid busi
ness man in each county as ta1
assessor. He should be a mai
of fine judgement, good business
ability, having a good knowledg
of values both in town and coun
try, and one in whom the publi
has confidence as to his honest.
and integrity. 1t is not a poli1
ical office but one of strictly bus
mess and we trust our politics
friends will understand this an
only suggest the most competen
men. After the county superv
sor is selected by us, we trus
every tax payer in each and e'
cry county of the state will full
cooperate with him to the en-
that he will be able to assess eac
persons property at it's true va
ue in money.

PruWslols Of State Dog Law.

A brief summary of the dog
law passed by the recent Legis-
lature follows:
Every person who owns or
keeps a dog of the age of six
months or older will be liable for
an annual tax of 81 on each fe.
male dog and 81 for each male or
spayed female dog. On payment
of the tax, the sheriff will issue
a metal tag bearing county name,
serial number and expiration
date, said tag to be attached to
collar of dog and so worn when
not on premises of the owner or
when engaged in hunting.
Dogs must be listod for taxes
at the same time and place as
that of other personal property
and persons failing to list same
for taxation will be guilty of a
misdemeanor and subject to a
fine not exceeding $50 or impris-
oned not exceeding 30 days. On
or before July /, each year, the
list.takers are required to make
report to the sheriff of the num-
Der of dogs owned by different
persons or kept by them and
their sex. Where a person be-
comes in possession of a dog af
ter listing time tits required that
he make return to the sheriff and
pay the tax required.

ing $50or Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding 80 days or Imprisonment

1t is the duty of list. takers to
see that all dogs are listed fol

sioners may pay him for his ser,
vices just amount, such to come
from money arising under the
act. After paying this service,
all claims for damages to life OF
property by dogs, approved by
three freeholders and assessed
by the county commissioners,
and after the payment of all nee
essary expense in connection
with carrying out the provisions
of this act, the balance of the
money received from the act is
to 20 to the school fund in tht
county where it is raised. The
owner of the dog mustreimburst
the county for money paid fol
injury or damage. On his fail
