• RAILROAD RATE;
QUESTION AGAIN
To Be Taken Uo by the Com
mission this Fall.
NOTICE ON COMMISSION
WAS SEKVEI) BY COMMISSIONER
OTIIO WILSON.
HE FAVORS A GRADUATED SYSTEM
The Commission Finishes Hearing Exceptions
as to Tax Valuation-The Southern
Got Ali the Reduction it Asked-
The Seaboard Part,
The railroad rate question, freight and
passenger, is to be again opened up foi
st rehearing before the Railroad Com
mission. „
“Since assessments are now made,
said Commissioner Otho \\ ilson, * I gi'e
notice that I shall as soon as liscal re
ports are in, move to readjust the lates
in accordance therewith.”
The annual reports, which are made
up June 30th, will he out about the
middle of September. Therefore, unless
Mr. Wilson changes his mind before that
time, the rate question will come before
the Commission at the October meeting
and a time then be set for a bearing.
It will be remembered that when the
question was considered several weeks
ago, Mr. Wilson dissented from the opin
ion of the Commission that rates were
now high enough. In dissenting, how
ever, he stated that he desired to await
the action of the Commission in regard
to tax valuation before discussing the
rate question further.
Only a very small increase, less, than
$3,000,000, has been made in tax valua
tion of railroad property, and yesterday
Mr. Wilson gave notice that as soon as
he was able to examine the annual re
ports of the various roads of the State
he would move to again take up the
rate question.
He thinks rates on many roads now
none too high, but on others he considers
them much too great' lie says he is in
favor of a graduated rate —low on roads
that pay big dividends and high on those
that are struggling to keep out of the
hands of a receiver.
The Commission yesterday concluded
the hearing of exceptions as to over
valuation of railroad property. Some
slight reduction was allowed the Sea
board and the entire reduction asked
by the Southern was granted.
Maj. John D. Shaw, of Rockingham,
appeared for the Seaboard, lie argued
against the general increase of valua
tion in railroad property, declaring that
the cry for an increase was not directed
at any other species of property. And
this disproportion of taxes, he said, was
creating a sentiment over the country
that is unhealthy and dangerous.
lie asked that the Raleigh and Au
gusta road and the Carolina Central be
allowed to remain the same as last year—
slo,ooo per mile each—instead of $10,500
for the Carolina Central and SII,OOO for
the Raleigh and Augusta. He aid not
think the earnings of the road justified
such a valuation.
“The low valuation of private property
to-day is a fight of the people against
the high rate of taxation fixed by the
Legislature. But I never expect to see
the tax rate reduced. It has not been
the history of taxes to go lower, they ever
tend upward. I think it will lie some
time before 1 hear a clamor in this State
for an increase in the valuation of pri
vate property.”
“I think you will hear it very soon,”
said Commissioner Otho Wilson.
“Well, 1 want to see the man who
starts it,” replied Maj. Shaw.
Maj. Wilson said the Raleigh and Gas
ton and Seaboard were placed at a lower
valuation than other roads in the State
for the reason that these lines have to
pay the losses on the Carolina Central
and the Georgia, Carolina and Northern.
This Maj. Shaw said he realized and
appreciated, but he thought too much
was put on some of them.
At the afternoon session, after con
sidering the argument, the Commission
made a slight concession on the Georgia,
Carolina and Northern Railroad, reduc
ing it from $9,500 per mile to $9,000. As
to the other requests of the Seaboard
they were denied.
Atlantic and Charlotte Air Line was
reduced from $12,000 per mile to $11,500.
The Western North Carolina Railroad
was made $8,500 all the way through,
instead of $8,500 and $9,000. These are
the only requests for reduction made by
the Southern. They mean a decrease in
valuation of about $85,000.
FARMING LANDS WANTED.
The following persons, residing in oth
er States, wish to buy farming lands in
North Carolina, says the Agricultural
Bulletin for July: A. N. Daywitt, Frank
fort, Ind., (any kind); L. P. Clansen,
Hamilton, Ohio, (land suitable for cat
tle raising); C. A. Dean, Springfield,
Vermont, (any kind); John W. Hughes,
1203 Adams street, Toledo, Ohio, (stock
and general farming); F. J. Humphrey,
Mansfield, Ohio, (fruit-growing); L. A.
Weiss, Circieville, Ohio, (grain and grass
growing); Dr. S. E. Campbell, 1307
Broadway, Bay City, Mich., (for general
farming, in a healthy locality.)
THE STATE PRINTING.
The job printing for the State, exclu
sive of that for the Agricultural depart
ment and the various institutions, has,
since the Barnes have had it, cost
$229.43. This work under the Stewart
contract, Auditor Ayer says, would have
cost S3OO. The price paid is from 19 to
24 cents per thousand ems, the work
being paid for by time. This system, Mr.
Ayer thinks will save the State from
$4,000 to SG,OOO a year as compared
with the same amount of work done by
any previous State printer
Mr. George Vanderbilt has purchased
4,000 acres of land lying on the slope of
the Black Mountain at the headquarters
of the north fork of the Swannana. It
is heavily timbered.

POSTAGE ON THE BULLETIN.
Complaint in Regard to Its Classification
Made by Mr. Enniss.
The July Bulletin of the North Caro
lina Department of Agriculture, issued
yesterday, speaking of the trouble in re
gard to postage rates, says: “Mr. P.
C. Enniss, a former employe in this de
partment, made complaint by letter,
which was forwarded to Washington,
requesting it to be done, stating that
he intended to publish an agricultural
paper and that The Bulletin would in
terfere with his publication. This means
much to this department. It means that
instead of paying $lB postage on 21,000
copies now sent out per month, this de
partment will have fb pay $2lO per
month, and when The Bulletin is in
creased to 50,000 per month, in ac
cordance with a resolution of the Board,
it will cost SSOO per month, or $6,000 a
year, to mail it to the farmers.”
It will be remembered that the post
office department has ordered that the
July Bulletin lie mailed at pound rate.
Commissioner Mewborne thinks he will
be able to have this arrangement contin
ued permanently.

THE jSEWS AND OBSERVER, AUGUST 4, 1897.
ROBERT WILLIS’ PARDON
T HE GOVERNOR GIVES HIS REASONS FOR
GRANTING IT.
Once Sentenced to Death, the Sentence Com
muted to Life lmprisonment--His
Return to His Home.
Readers of this paper will remember
that last week Gov. Russell pardoned
! Robert Ik Willis, of Buncombe county,
who was then serving a life sentence in
t lie penitentiary, lie was convicted of
■burglary at the spring term, 1889, of
Rutherford superior court and sentenced
to Ik‘ hanged. In February, 1890 this
I sentence was commuted to life imprison
j ment.
Yesterday, for the first time Gov. Rus
sel gave out liis reasons for granting this
pardon. They are as follows:
“The recommendations in this case
are very strong, coming from a large
I number of good people in Rutherford,Mad
son and Buncombe counties. Governor
jFowle in commuting the sentence found
i hat: there was no actual breaking in
the house.’ The official physician cor-
Itifies that the prisoner has had a malig
nant case of typhoid fever from which he
; ! as never recovered. That he now sttf
;tefs from a chronic inflammation which
makes him almost helpless and that lie
lis Permanently incapacitated for labor.
J His father and mother are living and the
| evidence shows that they are good peo
iPle. Burglary is and ought to be a
capital offense, but considering the phy
sical condition of the prisoner, the pun
ishment he has already suffered, liis pre
vious good character, the request of hun
dreds of the best citizens of two or
three counties, the recommendation of the
prosecuting attorney, Hon. U T ()<-
borne, and the pitiful appeal of his
friends, I grant this pardon.”
The pardoned man’s history reads like
jit leaf torn out of a dime novel It was
in (be spring of 1888, young Willis, wito
is a native of Madison countv. this State
but then living at Del Rio. Cocke coun
-1,7’ ,on "” was arrested along with
Samuel Halford, the charge against them
being burglary. The men. it was alleg
ed. went to the home of the Elliott fam
i >7— two old men and three elderlv h
idies—m Rutherford Ooiintv. N. C forced
(’’em to give up $220 at the M >i,it of .a

M. Willis, and the family had never

it was urged in. behalf of the son
rj K> : ;' T Hie time about 17 years of
; that Ha lf or,], who was a kinsman
f!i<> Llhott family, had gone to Ten
nessee, got into the good graces of W:l
--i.s. and under the claim that the Elliott
: ramt!y owed him a certain sum induced
the Tennessean to accompany him to
Rutherford. It was also said that llul
t’onl had given Willis liquor, the first
liquor he had ever drank, and that it
| was while both were drunk that the crime
was committed.
j All unsuccessful effort was made in
Is[) " to Poeurc a pardon. Through her
(Constant grief over the case Mrs. Wil
ds had wasted away to a mere skel
eton, and lately the father renewed liis
: efforts for a pardon for the son, hoping
i Hint the sorrowing mother’s life might
Ae thus prolonged. Petitions, numerously
j signed, were gotten up in Tennessee and
,in Madison county, and with the aid of
j Justice R. J. Stokely, an old friend of
th( k family, a petition was circulated in
Asheville, being signed by county offi
cials and a number of prominent citi
zens. When all was ready, Postmaster
W. W. Rollins, who has known the fam
ily for many years, and dandled Willis
on his knee when a boy, readily consent
ed to go to Raleigh and present the peti
tions to Governor Russell in person.
Monday morning, says the Asheville
Citizen, while Mr. Willis, the father, was
plowing in the field near his house he
was startled by a sudden shouting from
the residence. His heart stood still as
he saw one of the children running to
ward him. His mind naturally reverted
to the case of his son, and he stood shak
ing between hope and fear, because in a
letter writtfn to Maj. Rollins on tile
25th he said, with the force of a heart
broken man. “I have lost all hope!’’ Ima
gine then, the feelings of the father 'as
his tear-filled eyes perused these few
words sent by Maj. Rollins:
i “Robert pardoned to-day. Meet us to
! night at Glen Rock hotel, Asheville.”
I The plowman wept, but they were
tears of joy. It was but a few minutes
to train time and, laughing and crying
alternately, the happy father unhitched
liis mule, sprang upon its back and be
gan a race to the station such as no
Tennessee mule ever before made. Mr.
Willis reached it just in time and came
to Asheville, calling first upon Justice
Stokely, to whom he gave the good
news.
The hours of waiting were days in
| length to the anxious father, but at last
Ihe midnight train came in. and with
jit Maj. Rollins and young Willis. Father
and son grasped each other tightly, and
stood absolutely speechless as the tears
raced down their faces unchecked, while
those w ho watched the meeting were not
ashamed that they had to brush away
a mist that gathered in their eyes.
Father and son spent the night at the
Glen Rock and early Tuesday morning
left for their Tennessee home, where
the happy mother was awaiting them.
Maj. Rollins says young Widis had
a splendid record in the penitentiary,
being leader of the Sunday school and
prayer meeting. Maj. Rollins attended
the chapel service Sunday, and before
the meeting opened informed Willis of
Governor Russell’s action. The prayer
that the pardoned man sent up in that
meeting, Maj. Rollins says, would have
almost forced tears from a statue. When
Willis left the prison the convicts gath
ered about him to say good-bye and many
wept freely. .
"Willis was the most expert workman
in the prison. He had charge of the en
gine and found time to turn his hand
to the making of walking canes and such
articles. He presented to Maj. Rollins
a handsome stick made of orange, silver
mounted, every bit of the work having
been done by his own hands.
Willis is unable to stand on his feet
for any length of time, this being a re
sult of an attack of fever since his im
prisonment began.
DISCIPLES OF PROSPERITY.
Populists Deny That the “Calamity
Howl” is Their Trade-mark.
I
The Populists will have to dig up some
new variety of dissatisfaction or go out
of business.
The calamity howl which they have
been palming off on the people as states
manship and high political philosophy,
during recent years, seems to he playing
out.
As the reports of good crops have
come in there litis been a melancholy sag
in the chin whiskers of such notables as
the lion. Richard Razor, Rev. Righteous
Altogether Cobb, Col. Zeko Bilkins Ram
sey and Maj. Jay Yahoo Hamrick—till of
whom are good Populist office-holders,
within a stone’s throw of the State cap
itol. Not a word do they utter. The
whiskers only say lower and the head
wags doubtfully, as the reports continue
to conte in each one better than the
last. )\ hitt right have the crops to
grow this wayV What right has the far
mer to become prosperous? Is not oalaih
i!y the food upon which Populism feeds
land fattens? Are not the people in the
coal districts having strikes,tlm mill oper
atives in the north losing their jobs by
mills closing, the farmers in the west
suffering from drought? To be sure they
are.
But in the crops of North Carolina there
seems to lie something peculiarly per
verse . and wholly unintelligent.
They insist on growing to enormous pro
portions without asking Populist office
holders whether such an arrangement
is agreeable to them or not.
Amid this gloom and confusion comes
Mr. S. J. Pritchard, of Brodie, N. C„
as an angel of mercy to solve the diffi
culty. In effect he suggests that good
crops mean prosperity; that the Re
publicans being in, they are" responsible
for it: that as the Republicans and Pop
ulists have fused thA Populists are equal
ly responsible. This being so why
should not the Populist, like the fly
| perched upon the chariot wheel, exclaim,
j “Behold what a dust I am kicking up?”"
| This is in effect the reasoning con
tained in the following letter received
| at the Agricultural department from
j Mr. Brodie. It will bring joy to the
1 hearts of all downcast calamity howlers
and Populist statesmen:
“Brodie, N. C., July 19.
I “Dear Sir: There is a man at this
place who, having read your crop report
an 1 comments thereon, declared the
; whole thing to be a ‘Populist lie,’ and
I that the crops of the State were the poor
i est for ten years. You say our own
State always makes her own broad. Os
course I think that is true, hut lie says
iwe haven’t made enough corn to last
until June a single year since the war.
If you have any figures relative to the
( grain crops of the State for the last few
years kindly send them and I will try
| to convince some of those who had rath
jer have Democratic adversity than Pop
: ulist prosperity, that our State is not
i the barren waste of pauperism which
j they in their ignorance and partisanism
j deem it.
“Your very truly,
“S. J. PRITCHARD.
So you may no more expect to hear
the infamous Populist calamity howl,
j But the dolorous chant has been kept up
I long enough to accomplish the purpose
: whereunto it was sent. For the
I last four years a chorus of
| howling, led by Populist eharla-
I tana and office-seekers has been
I wailing incessantly. Discontent and
| distrust have been cultivated with a
view to reaping for them a political
harvest for the benefit of the howling
chorus. They have got it; their croaking
has ceased and now the people are find
ing them out for the humbugs they are.
They have waked up to a consciousness
that their patronage of pessimism has
been an expensive investment, and that
the croaker was croaking for pie to fill
his own maw.

THE VERDICT IS ALWAYS THE
SAME—“IT IS A GREAT MEDI
CINE.”
lor ten years I suffered from a sore
on my mouth which caused me some
uneasiness, and after having the doc
tors to take it out without effecting a
cure, I began to take Mrs. Joe Person’s
Remedy two years ago. After I began
to take the medicine the sore discharg
ed a great deal, but I soon began to feel
hotter in every way, and knew it was
doing nte great good. I took twenty
two bottles, and it made a perfect cure
of my case. My general health has
been excellent ever since taking it. I
cannot say too much in praise of the
Remedy. It is certainly a great medi
cine. MRS. A. P. GUESS.
