C.—“My health is good and I can say with i*casure I owe it to Black-Draught,” writes* the Rev. J. H. Wileoxen, local Baptist minister at this place. In the statement given bore, Mr. Wileoxen said that Black Draught had been used in his home for fifteen to eighteen years. “I have had stomach trouble,” said Mr. Wileoxen, “so that after meals I would break out in perspiration and feel tight in the chest. I would go to my shelf, take a good dose of Black-Draught, and in less than an hour all this disagreeable tightness would disappear. “I used it with my children for colds and constipation. I find it is a spiendid remedy for gas and sour stomach and I would not be with out it.” Mrs. Wileoxen said: “In the spring when I would feel sluggish, have a bad taste in my mouth and a light feeling in my head when I would stoop over when about- my work, I knew it was torpid liver and that I must . 1 take something. Black-Draught is the ^ host thing I know of. I use it in big doses at first, then small. It is tine— made me feel so much better. We feel that we couldn’t get along with out it.” , The genuine, old, origin,,! Black Draught powdered liver medicine has been used for over 80 years.

PUT ALL PROPERTY: ON BOOKS FOB TAX ASSESSORS GIVEN SPECIFIC IN STRUCTIONS BY STATE AS SESSMENT QB>ARD. 1ST BE COMPLETED BY JULY Tax Assessors Have Been Named in All Counties of State and Will Be gin Work First of May. Restriction of the equalizing powers of county commissioners as to real estate and strict instructions to verify statements of taxpayers as to personal property feature instructfons to tax assessors which have been prepared byv the - State Board of Assessment. The board is composed of R. A. Dough ton, Commissioner of Revenue; J. S. Manning, Attornay General; and W. T. Dee, chairman of the Corporation Com ,’mission. Tax assessors have been ,named m all of the counties of the .State and will begin their work on .May 1. Before that date instructions ,will be mailed them from the offices .of Commissioner Doughton. The work ,of assessment must be completed not ,later than July 1. t The several hoards oi county eom .missibners have been made boards ,of Equalization and Review by the rGeneral Assembly and empowered to imeet in that capacity each July. > Concerning the equalization pow ers of the board of commissioners the [•letter of instructions says: “As to real this equilization can be had only on years in which lands are valued for taxation, except when tsuch valuation shall have been ef fected by some extraordinary circum stances, the facts in connection with t which shall be found by such board in each case.” 1 Under the interpretation placed -upon the law by Commissioner Dough ton. the counties which have declared present values just and a reassess - ment unnecessary are in the same po sition as in years when the question of valuation has not arisen and while -the county commissioners will sit as a board of equalization they will be lim ited to cases with “extraordinary cir cumstances.” “Get it ail on the books and don’t take anybody’s” word for what it is worth is the substance cft the instruc tions in regard to listing personal property. “It is customary to ask the tax payer to give the value of personal property but this is merely for what it may be worth as information and does not relieve the officer from mak ing a proper valuation,’’ reads the in structions. Special attention is called in the letter to intangible property which may be concealed and assessors are cautioned to secure the listing of all solvent credits including those of domestic and foreign corporations. The personal property exemption of $300 has been continued despite the protest of legislators from Eastern counties but assessors are warned that this exemption includes only certain classes of property such as household and kitchen furniture, growing crops, eto* Attention is called in the letter to the drastic penalties for mailing false* or incomplete tax returns and the as sessors are urged to see that all prop erty, by whomever owned, is put on the books. i Low Bids on Projects $3,670 30. i One hundred and fifty-eight con i tractors submitted bids on 2 road and bridge projects offered by the State Highway Commission aggregating $3, 670.23S.20, breaking the record for the year and coming within one letting of setting up an entirely new mark for aggregate bids on a single day's let ting since roads began to be offered in wholesale quantity two years ago. Withdrawel of several major pro jects of hard surfacing on account of th* serious shortage of cement cut down thjp original mileage advertised for letting to approximately 150 miles of new construction. About 90 miles of hard surface and 60 miles of other types were included, with grading and bridges on projects that were with drawn for immediate hard surfacing. Four major projects went beyond the three hundred thousand dollar mark in the bidding, they being the New Bern end of the Central High way, a link of the W. C. A. Highway near Wilmington, the Wilson-Greene county line road and the Waynes ville-Canton link of the Central high way. No contracts have been awarded, and it is likely that a number will be withdrawn because of unsatisfactory prices. New Corporation*. Charters were filed w-ith the Secre tary of State for the following corpor ations to do business in North Caro lina: Kenilworth Riding Academy, of Asheville, with 5100,000 authorized capital and $3,600 subscribed by J. M. Chiles, Ben Chiles, and W. C. Adicks, all of Asheville. Ivey Realty Company, of Charlotte, With $500,000 authorized capital and $300 subscribed by J. B. Ivey, Qeorge M. Ivey and David Ovens, all of Char lotte. Seek To Thinu up Short Line Bund* Rule One of thv tariff regulation* of the State Corporation Commission is invoked against the East Carolina Railroad and the contention that the Atlantic Coast Line has no provision in its charter whereby it may lease its property to individuals is set up in a supplemental brief filed by the State Traffic Association in its efforts to have subsidiary short lines declar ed a part of the parent system and placed on the same rate basis. The case has been panding for more than a year, and extended hearings in the case of the East Carolina rail road, the Virginia & Carolina South ern, the Washington and Vandemere and others were held. N« decisions has been handed down by the Com mission in either of the cases ending. The argument submitted in the brief by J. S. Griffin, probably means the re-opening of the cases, and some time me? yet elapse before an order is mffde. Under the contention of the Traffic Association, the short lin^ railroads, which charge a higher freight rate than is allowed on the main line rail roads, are actually owned by the pa rent lines, and farmed out technically to enable them to charge a higher freight rate. The complainants de manded that the lines be declared a part of the parent lines, and through tariffs ordered into effect. In the case of the East Carolina Railroad, no denial was made of the fact that the Atlantic Coast Line owns all of its $55,000 capital stocltr and all of its $300,000 outstanding bonds except $5,000. A separate com pany from the Atlantic Coast Line leases the property, some 50 miles in length, and operates as an individual property, charging the freight rates allowed short lines. Henry Clark Bridgers, of Tarboro, is president of the company. uuugtJ i eira staiciucui uuiiiifc hearing that “I think any court would take judicial notice that any ma^i who owns anything has the management and control of it, is quoted in the ar gument, along with Rule No. 1 which declares that “all connecting railroads which are under the .same manage ment and control, by* lease, owner ship, or otherwise, of one and the same company for the purpose of transporta tion in applying this tariff, be con sidered as one and the same road, and the rates shall be computed as upon parts of one and the name road, unless otherwise specified. The contention is made that no specification is made in the rates of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, or the East Carolina Railroad. Nothing in the charter of either the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad or of the East Carolina Railroad gives the right to lease its property either as a cor poration or as an individual. The United States Supreme court is quot ed to the effect that a “lease by a railroad company of all of its road, rolling stock and franchises for which no authority is given in its charter is ultra vires and void.’’ The brief closes with the contention that rule No. 1 be applied. Grissom Collects $14,G00,0C0 in March. Approximately $1-1,000,000 was col lected in March by the United States Internal Revenue Department, bring ing tlio total for the nine months of ! the present fiscal year to $101,000,000, i as compared with $91,125,482^0 tor j the same period last year, Gilliam Grissom, collector, annofmod. Mr. Grissom made public the following table of collections for the two periods: Present fiscal year: July, 1922, $10, 0S9,41S.63; August, 1922, $1,075,285.29, September, 1922, $15,709,584.S4; Octo ci, i»22, $8,18,328.12; November, 1922; $8,610,935.S5; December, 1922, $9,011, S37.72; January, 1923, $12,102,152.73; February, 1923, $10,113,500.40; March, 1923, $4,000,000 (approximate.)

I _ Alien to Head Training School. A. T. Allen, lor the past five years director of the work of teacher train ing under the State Department of Education, has accepted the r ?; len ey of the Cullowhee Normal school, in Jackson county, according to an nouncement made by Stgte Superin tendent E. C. BrookS. Mr. Allen will assume control of the school July 1. His successor in the department will not be named for the present. Under recent acts of the General Assembly $375,000 was appropriated for the expansion of the equipment of the school and under the manage ment of President Allen the capacity of the school, which has been raised to the grade of a standard normal school will be practically daubled. Building operations have alretdy been outlined by the Board of Trustees at a recent meeting. Fourteen Millions in Revenue. Approximately $14,000,000 was col lected In March by the United States internal revenue department, bring ing the total for the nine months of the present fiscal year to $101,000,000 as compared with $91,125,482.80 for the same period last year, Gilliam Grissom collector, announced. The state has collected $2,700,000 in income tax to date, the figure show ing a substantial increase over last years receipts. The amount, how ever, still is below the budget con* mission's estimate of $3,500,000. DAMAGE AMOUNTING TO ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL LARS PROBABLE. HUNDRED HOUSES WRECKED jfctorm Originated in Edge of Johnson County and Took a Northeasterly ' Course. Wendell.—A score of presons are said to have ben injured, some of them fatally, a hundred or more large build ings blown down and property damag ed to the amount of $100,000 by a tor nado which cut a path a half mile wide and between seven and ten miles long through eastern Wake county, accord i ing to reports received here. The tornado, which is said to have originated in the edge of Johnston i county, took a northeastern course east of Wendell and freakishly skip ped here and there, demolishing every thing in its path for two hundred yards or more and then leaving the patch for the next two hundred yards un touched. I It swept within one half mile of Wendell where it wrought damage to the extent of $1,000 on the farm of J. R. Richardson, and is declared to have blown down a building in Zebu Ion. | On the farm of J. P. Richardson, one mile east of Wendell, six of the 11 tenant houses were blown down, together with 14 large tobacco barns, 20 pack houses and two granaries. ! One of the houses, occupied by John Denham, negro, was blown to splinters, and Debnam’s wife and 10 children were injured. The mother and one child, regarded as probably fatally in jured, were removed to a Raleigh hos pital. The damage on this farm alone, it is estimated, was $15,000. On the farm of W. T. Roberts six or seven barns and some stables were blown down, while the kitchen of the dwelling of Norman Deans was blown off and a granery demolished. The tornado, accompanied by a heavy downpour of rain, exercised all the freakish traits of the usual torna do. For a space of a half mile or more it wiped out every building in its path and then, for 200 yards, apparently skipped off, settling back in the same track again with ui . jatcd fury. It will requir !?> i work of a very large road force to clear the high ways in the course of the tornado, it is stated. Weevil Makes Debut in Anson. Wadesboro.—The boll weevil has al ready made its spring debut in Anson county. A number of genuine speci mens were collected the other day from guano sacks in a field of Dr. It. II. Ross, of this city, near Lilesville. These specimens appeared to be large and healthy. Dr. Ross humorously remarked that experts would again have to be sent here to advise with the farmers about the best way to forestall the weevil, since the weevil was now inspecting the brands of fertilizers to determine what the prospects were likely to be, and whether it would pay his weevil ship to remain. Dr. Ross has several acres of cotton already up, and will wage a strong fight on the weevil, be ginning right away to use the poison preventatives. Consider Burned Forests Hopeless. Asheville.—“Areas burned over one or more times are practically hopeless from the standpoint of spruce regener ation,” according to forest officials, who are attending an investigative conference of the work in the south ern and Appalachian forest experiment stations. “Such areas," it is asserted, “soon grow up in dense tangles of black berry briars followed by thick stands of fire cherry and yellow birch.” Increase Capacity of Market. Kingston.—The local tobacco market will have a capacity of 800,000 pounds a day next fall as a result of institu tion of the triple sales system here, it was estimated by obacco Board of Trade officials. This capacity will be “normal,” and without a strain upon facilities. Under the system sales may be in progress at three points simul taneously. 4s the market stands now, there are inly three warehouses left under the supervision of the Board »f Trade, & fourth having been burned last winter. This may be restored. Two other warehouses in the city are beng r^ed by the tobacco and cotton co-operatives. Elmira Mills Enlarge Plant. Burlington. — The Elmira Cotton Mills company has begun the erection of a large addition to their plant in West Burlington. The new building wil] be ll.r)XlG8. two stories, containing saw-tooth roof, which is said to bo the first of its kind to be erected in Alamance county. The cotton manu facturing concern will install 200 addi tional looms to their present equip ment, the new machiner yto be operat ed in the new building. Carding and spinning machinery will also be in stalled. American Individualism A Timely Message t<a the American People By HERBERT HOOVER Secretary of Commerce. 3—Spiritual phases OUIl social and economic sys tem cannot march toward better days unless it is in spired by things of the spirit. It is here that the higher purposes of in dividualism must find their suste nance. Men do not live by bread alone. NoHis individualism merely a stimulus to production and the road to liberty; it alone admits the universal divine inspiration of every human soul. I may repeat that the divine spark does not lie in agree ments, in organizations, in institutions, in masses or in groups. Spirituality with its faith, its hope, its charity, can be increased by each individual’s own effort. And in proportion as each in dividual increases his own store of spirituality, in that proportion in creases the idealism of democracy, j i? ui ceiiiuritss, uie iiuiiiaii nice utr lloved that divine inspiration rested in a few. The result was blind faith in religious hierarchies, the Divine Right of Kings. The world has been disil lusioned of this belief that divinity rests in any special group or class whether it be through a creed, a tyr anny of kings or of proletariat. Our Individualism insists upon the divine in each human being. It rests upon the firm faith that the divine spark can be awakened in every heart. It was the refusal to compromise these tilings that led to the migration of' those religious groups who so largely composed our forefathers. Our diversi fied religious faiths are the apotheosis of spiritual individualism, j The vast multiplication of voluntary organizations for altruistic purposes are themselves proof of the ferment of spirituality, service, and mutual re sponsibility. These associations for advancement of public welfare, im provement, morals, charity, public opin ion, health, the clubs and societies for recreation and intellectual advance ment, represent something moving at a far greater depth than “joining.” They represent the widespread aspira tion for mutual advancement, self-ex pression, and neighborly helpfulness. Moreover, today -when we rehearse oar own individual memories of suc cess, we find that none gives us such comfort as memory of service given. De we not refer to our veterans as service men? Do not our merchants and business men pride themselves In something of service given beyond the price of their goods? When we trav erse the glorious deeds of our fathers, we today never enumerate those acts that were not rooted in the soil of service. Those whom we revere are those who triumphed in service, for from them comes the uplift of the human heart and the uplift of the human mind. While there are forces in the growth of our Individualism which must he curbed with vigilance, yet there are no less glorious spiritual forces grow ing within that promise for the fu ture. There is developing in our peo ple a new valuation of individuals and of groups and of nations. It is a rising vision of service. Indeed if I were to select the social force that -above all others has advanced Sharp ly during these past years of suffer ing, it is that of service—service to those with whom we come in contact, service to the nation, and service to the world itself. If we examine the great mystical forces of the past seven years we find this great spiritual force poured out by our people as never before in the history of the world—the Idea! of service. .Tust now we are weakened by the feeling of failure of immediate realiza- j tion of the great ideals and hopes that arose through the exaltation of war. War by its very nature sets loose cha otic forces of which the resultants can not he foretold or anticipated. The in sensitiveness to the brutalities of physi cal violence, and all the spiritual dis locations of war, have left us, at the moment, poorer. The amount of se renity and content in the world is smaller. The spiritual reaction alter tne war has been in part the fruit of some il- ; lusions during those five years. In tlie presence of unity of purpose and the i mystic emotions of war, many men came to believe that salvation lay in mass and group action. They have seen the spiritual and material mobil ization of nations, of classes, and groups, for sacrifice and service; they have conceived that real human prog ress can be achieved by working on j “the psychology of the people”—by | the “mass mind”; they yielded to lead ! ership without reservation; they con i ceived that this leadership could con tinue without tyranny; they have for gotten that permanent spiritual prog ; ress lies with the Individual.
