Bicket with his customary personal and vital interest in all mat ters pertaining to the development of the commonw’ealth has written a letter addressed to the average citi zen of the State in which he discusses the revaluation act. We give the let ter in full. My dear Mr. Average Citizen: An intimate acquaintance with you, extending over a number of years, leads me to write you this intensely personal letter. I know that you love the truth, that you despise injustice, that you are a robust champion of the square deal. The possession by you of the cardinal virtues makes North Carolina truly a great State. The most vital power in the State is the pov/er to tax, and you believe that this vital power should be exer cised with a full knowledge of the truth. You believe that from this full knowledge of the truth there will flow perfect equality in taxation. For the first time in the history of the State you, Mr. Average Citizen, he has paid more than his fair share the increase as to him will be less than ten per cent; if he has paid less than his fair share, the increase as to him will be more than ten per cent. You, Mr. Average Citizen, will at once perceive the essential justice in thus equalizing the public burden. I call on you to lend your vigorous support, first, by example, and then by precept, to this attempt by the General Assembly to build up a tax ation, system in North Carolina grounded pn perfect truth and per fect justice. By doing so you Will help to practically demonstrate that it is profitable in money and in morals to a people as to an individual to tell the truth and shame the devil. Sincerely yours, T. W. BICKETT. Raleigh, N. C. July 11, 1919. WHY PAY MORE FOR GOOD THINGS TQ EAT WHEN SLEDGE SELLS CHEAP FOR CASH?

BREVARD WITNESSES The Names of Brevard Persons Fam* iliar To All. Who are the witnesses?. They are Brevard people— Residents of Brevard who have had kidney backache, kidney ills, bladder ills; who have used Doan’s Kidney Pills. These witnesses endorse Doan’s. One Brevard resident who speaks is S. A. England, retired farmer. He says: “I am glad of the opportunity to recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills for they did me a lot of good some years ago. I was troubled with too fre quent action of my kidneys. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Pills I used a few and they made me feel a great deal better.” Price 60c at all dealers.

Y. fair market value you must write j and if your subscription has expired, down in your questionnaire, else you ; renew at once. It takes money to will cease to be Mr. Average Citizen ^ newspaper, and bcome Mr. Undesirable Citizen. When you, Mr. Average Citizen, tell the truth about your property, it will do no good for your neighbor, Mr. Undesirable Citizen, to tell a lie about his property, because the books show j truly what the Mr. Average Citizen is j worth, this evidence will clearly and j conclusively show what the property i of Mr. Undesirable Citizen is worth. The local and district assessors, when they come to fix the value of property, wil be governed by the sworn testi mony of Mr. Average Citizen. And when you, Mr. Average Citi zen, tell the unvarnished truth about your property that truth will wipe out every discrimination and every in equality in taxation in North Caro lina. True values are always equal values, but the greatest expert can not equalize a series of falsehoods. When all the property in the State shall be placed on the books at its fair market value, many benefits will accrue to you, Mr. Average Citizen. 1. You will have great satisfaction in knowing that the record written by all people of the State is a true record and not a libel on the com monwealth. This knowledge will wonderfully strengthen the moral fiber of our people. 2. You will know that every dis crimination in taxation is wiped out, and that every citizen is carrying his far part of the burden. 3. As the values go up the rate of tax wll go down, and hereafter North Carolina ^rill be known far and wide as a wealthy State with a low rate of taxation instead of a poor State with a high* rate of taxation. 4. The General Assembly has made a pledge not to collect, under the pro posed true valuation of the property, revenues greater than ten per cent in excess of the revenues collected un der the present false values. This ! mans that the total revenues collected by the State shall not be greater than ten per cent in excess of the total revenues collected under the present law. This most emphatically does not mean that no particular citizen will have to pay taxes in excess of ten per cent of the amount he has heretofore paid. A particular citi zen may pay less taxes than he has ver paid before. He may pay double what he has heretofore paid. This depends on whether or not he has heretofore paid his fair share of the taxes according to his true worth. If W. C. POWER & CO., Mfrs. 3630 N. Gratz St., Philadelphia, Pa. Relieved of Catarrh Due to La Grippe, Thanks to PERUNA Mrs. Laura Berberick, 69 years old, of 1205 Willow Ave., Hoboken, N. J., writes: “Four years apo I had a aerere attark of La- Grippe. After my sickness I was troubled with hoarsenese and slime in the head and throat, and was told I bud Calarrh. I took some medicine but without much benefit. Every winter for four years, I nave had LaGrippe (last winter three times). . Tte Catarrh srew worse. I could not lie down or sleep at nigrht. Wawilways truutolrd ^vith Hlime, pain in my back and a terrible headache every morning, when I woke up, and had no blood. I sot a Peruna calendar in Danish, my native language, and I read it through, every lostimony, and then I bought a bottle of Peruna. To-day I can truthfully testify that Pemna has been a great benefit to me. It has f^ivcn me blood and Htrengrth. I can lie down and sleep without being troubled. I have no pain, headache, or noise in my head. I have gained in weight three pounds, which I think is good for my age. I will be Mixty-nlne years old next summer. I have used Peruna since I started in February, and I use it yet. I feel cheerful and happy, thanks to Pemaa. It will always be in my home _and 1 recommend it to those who need it.” L.IQriD OR tablet FORM FOR SALE EVERYTiTiERE STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF THE BREVARD BANKING COMPANY Brevard, N. C.
