Be Just to All. Stanly News-Herald. We believe in giving every tax payer in the coiuity an absolute square deal, but no more nor no less. That is why we wish to urge the men named to re value certain property to go slow be fore they lower the tax value of any person, firm or corporation. There are some tax payers asking for reduction in valuation in their taxable property. Some of these claims for reduction may be meritorious, if so. all well and good, but the time has come when tile small man is not going to pay more than his just portion of the tuxes of this coun try. It is just as unfair to let down on a little man and add the deficiency on n big corporation's taxes as it is to reduce the taxes of a big corporation and put the difference on the backs of the small fellows. /There is no differ ence, and the person, firm or corporation who would claim otherwise is dishonest, and ought not to be given more serious consideration than those who are wil ling to come across with their just por tion of tile taxes. Fairness in revalua tion is the thing which the men named to revalue certain property should keep in mind. To these men we would say. be careful not to add one cent on any big corporation or large individual prop erty owner that tlftly not be entirely fair ,S NOTICE £ To Abutting Property Owners on the Sooth Side of Buffalo Street Between K North Spring Street and Kerr Street.

Men deputies stood on their chairs and cheer ed long anil vigorously, but other quar fei-s were to be heard from. Hardly had the inch's cherts subsided than there came loud and augry pro tests from the gallery, where the wives of the deputies were sitting.

The modern American business man is so wrapped up in dollars and cents and in getting his results therefrom that he applies to the education of his boy the same principle which he applies to his business; he sends his boy to us with only one object in view, it seems to me, and that is to put that boy into college.

Address ' % THE TRIffIJNE, Concord, N. C. Modern love Juggle* Million Veits At an electriegljfhow held at a western university not long ago, one of the stu dents mystified the crowds with a display rivaling the mythical feats of Jove, who was believed by the ancients to be the wielder of the thunderbolt. Seated in a chair separated from a table by seven-ply insulators, the youth grasped a x igsag rod tn one hand and in the other a wand.with which he made contact with a ball from which the lightning effect was emitted. The impunity with Which he handled the 1,000,000 Volts is explained by the low amperage value of the current passing through his body and the insulators un der the chair legs, which, prevented the electricity from going to the ground and thereby establishing a flow of current that would have been disastrous to the daring young experimenter. * « * CA variation of the “dunning” letter is used by a Western firm, with agreeable results.
