We want a public library for
Asheboro. A smill subset iption
from everybody would establish au
immense library.
Many men become suddenly very
poor the first of Juue tax listing
time.
The Catawba County News, one
of the State's best semi-weeklies
edited by by ex-State Supeiintend
ent of Public Instruction, C. II.
Mebane, has completed its thi-d
year.
The man who swears falsely to
h is tax returns is guilty of perjury.
A man who is reckless in his swear
i ng improperly or carelessly about
the valuation before the list taker
commits perjury, aud the list taker
who fails to swear each person list

portant duty he has sworn he would
do. "
The town of Whitney was laid off

Sam Jones says Mr. Bryan is the
most popular man iu America that
he will be elected President uext term
if Roosevelt is not a candidate. A
few years ago when Mr. Hryau was
in need of help and aid the Rev.
Sam was running around over the
tountrv saying "(Jreat is Diana of
Kphtsians," (treat is U rover Cleve
land and greater is the doctrine he
promulgates.
The Mooie county Democrats ait
having their troubles too. There
is some opposition to the old ticket.
The present clerk of the Superioi
Court has held the ofl'ice for twenty

century, and only two persons hold

Again has the ccuutry witnessed
a surrender by the President. He
went over bag and baggage to the
camj) of the enemy of railroad rate
reduction when he accepted an
amendment which practically makes
:he rate bill measure a dead letter.
Tins amendment establishes the
broadest possible court review in
cluding the right of the courts to
rrant preliminary injunctions in
favor of the railroads. It makes
the legislation practically abortive,
if not unconstitutional. It goes
farther than Knox or Spooner, or
Foraker proposed to go. On the
-same day this surrender was made
President Roosevelt, like the scuttle
fish proceeded to muddy the waters
by making an attack on the Stand,
ard Oil Company.
As tax listing times comes round
our mind reverts to tax dodgers.
While assessors and tax listers are
in the main honest and square but
too often it is they let matters pass
easily almost anyway. The law ex
pressly provides that every person
who lists his taxes must sijju the
list or make his mark, and the list
taker who fails to swear each person
listinff is euilty of misconduct as a
nnblin official. We are informed
that some of the list takers in this
countv have at times failed to re
nuire Dersons listing to be sworn.
There are many good officials among
the list takers but we call attention
to one. Last April when Henry
Caudle, so long the foreman of the
Cockier office, was unable longer
to perform the arduous duties of
the office, was appointed list user
for Asheboro township, Mr. Caudle
went about the business like he
did at everything else, to do it
right. He helped everyone to make
