it.
Up il Aslle Tam Bowie hesitates
lie does not know whether to come
down here and perform miracles for
Ashe only or to wait until January,
1887, and work them for the whole
State. He admits a desire to do some
thing big, TO give to North Carolina
what he has given to Ashe. That
might be a colossal debt, for Mr.
Bowie has helped to pile it up in his
county. But what he desires to be-
stow upon the State is the Ashe phil
osophy of paying it's debts.
Naturally everybody is wondering
how it can be done. If the highway
funds are reduced, exemptions given
to certain users of motor fuels and
oils, the sales tax is repealed. the Eeei.
tax is allowed to vanish, the liquor
business is prohibited, one does not
see how it is to be achieved. but all
the statesmen are going to do it. The
last one of them is in favor of fur
ther reduction in ad valorem taxes.
Property taxes must come down.
