The c6nstitution of North Carolina, section " 3, article 5, says: ' Laws shall be 'passed taxing bj a uniform role oil moneys, credits, investments in bonds, stocks, joint stock compa nies, or otherwise; and also all real and personal property, according to its true value in money." , lathe real and personal property in North Carolina taxed according to the constitution? Every " observing man ' who is familiar with the State know s that in proportion to "its true' value in money' ' wome counties "pay from five to fifty per cent, more tax than others-even in counties some townships pay from ten to twenty five per cent, more tax than other townships, "according to their true value in money." Each citizen who is familii r with the ffnancial standing of his neighbors can go to the tax list and the inequality there. Some who he thought were rich appear quite lean, while a' few Christians are worth nearly what he thought they were; It would take 'too long' an article to discuss townships and indi viduals besides, individualizing is not pleasant dor can we ' give, more in this article than a sample in regard to the counties.. Let us take from the Auditor's report of 1883 the returns of two counties, Anson and Alexander. Anson county returns 1 16,309 acres of land at $343,856; town lots, $4500; making a total of $348,356. Alexanv der county returns 153,829' acres of land at $483. 061 ; town , lots, $15,045; making a total of $493,106 . Alexander county pays tax on $149,750 worth of reaL property, more than Anson. Per sons familiar vrith vbese "counties think that the true value of "real property in Anson is nearly double that of Alexander. - The idea of Alex ander county paying tax on nearly four times the value of town lots that Anson pays is-'-whew f 1 'Anson coun- ty returns l,02i horses valued at $23,555 ; also returns forty mules' valued at $9,005. - Alexander county returns 1,059 horses valued at $46,798;; 818 mules valued at $46,762. Horses, at $23 a f iece in Anson at $46 ', in' Alexander mules only 40 in Anson : "what's the matter?" '-Farming utensils in Anson, valued at 44,450. Farming utensils in Alexander valued : at $53,374. Other returns from these ' counties could be given, but this: is sufficient to illustrate our purpose. Thare are counties that show equally as bad, if not worse. ' If such ine quality exist on property that cannot be hidden, how great must the ine quality be on solvent credits, and all the classes of property that can be hidden? At the risk of trying -patience, wo wui can attention to another class of inequality that is amusing, if it1 is inexplainable The tax under the head ot dealers in spirituous liquors, &c", exceeds the tax on merchants and other dealers" in nearly every county where the long ear pine grows, ana it is me reverse in the oak and hickory sections.

Danville : to. Charlotte. Will the snake theory explain these strange phenomena? Auditor Roberts expresses the opiM ion that we have $500,000,000 of prop erty in this State, and in this he is supported by gentlemen whose opin ions - are entitled to great weight Only $180,000,000 'are returned for taxation ; $320,000,000 escape taxation If .we had an honest return our State tax would be only tea cents on the hundred dollars. It is .the duty oi our Legislature to give ua ,a system that will place all property on the tax list and have it assessed "according to its true value in money,? also give us a system for equalizing taxation. The public have read , Mr. -Arthur's last message but thejy 'nre much more interested in Mr, Cleve land's first message . . ' ' - PROCEED, MR rOLtE i j Congressman Follet, of. Ohio; tia9 introduced a resolution in Congress' asking for an investigation of the proceedings of the Deputy ,U.; S.' Marshals who figured in that State at the October election. This is .very proper. ; It is well that that piece of election deviltry should be thor: onghly ventilated, in order that 'the people may fully understand this pet invention of Republican law makers' and th n' following up.that in vestiga-y tiori, as of still . more importance ' to the pexxple. let a bill be introduced re pealing all laws authorizing tha ,em ployment of Federal election 'Super? visors'and Deputy Marshalsand.that will be the end of the business,' an3. the end of one of the worst ; systems' that' was ever devised" to rob freenden of their votes and defeat ; the will of the people. . , I - Members of legislatures need riot'be despondent ; Virginia's pea nutcr'op is 4, 000,000 bushels wi th other poa nut States to be heard from, f, ", ' 1 ; It is rumored that President-elect Cleveland will open the inauguration ball. He will probably do so by proxy. r 7 Ex-Senator Joseph E. : McDonald of Indiana, declines to be a candidate for U. S.- Senator against Dan Voor hees. , 1 . The city of Pittsburg. Pa., is supi plied with natural gas at 15 cents per thousand feet. , It is used for lighting and. heating purposes and for the latter is said to be cheaper than coaL ; It is said that the Western whiskey men are preparing to make another raid on Conerress, to secure an exten sion of time for paring taxes due oh bonded whiskey. , - - i ' It I is ',' said that . President elect- Cleveland sends back the presents sent to him. We have not heart! of his sending back that twelve pound chunk of plum pudding the Rich mond boys sent him Thanksgiving dpy, but;we incline to the opinion that be did not eat it. A Chicago dispatch says that Brand the Democrat : returned as elected over Leman, Repu oilcan, to the State senat. ' has become satisfied that frauds were perpetrated in one of the citywards and will pursue the con-i test no further. This leaves the leg- islature a tie. The Atlanta Constitution publishes an .appeal to "fair minded journals'! in the North, about Southern Blanders and slanderers. Fair minded men don't deal in that kind of thing and there is no use appealing to the other sort for they will go right along. ; Sunday morning, a few miles north: of Burlington, two railway cars filled with paintings, embroideries and: specimens of women's worlq- collected m lowa tor exhibition at the fNew Orleans Exposition, wore wrecked by a collision with a freight train, and the contents destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The Irish Potato. Ashevllle Citizen. This root, which bears today a for eign name, is in reality a native of America: and was round by earliest Western pioneers to be indigenous to certain sheltered spots on the plateau lying between the Rocky Mountains and the vast, valley ot the Mississippi; It was used by the Indians as an aiv tide of diet, but we have no autben tic statement that it was ever cultis vated bv them; and what we know of the thriftless habits of the Red man we s&ould say chnt it was not. The two ships of Sir Walter Raleigh, commanded by Amadasand Barlowe, among othor unknown productions, qarried the potato to England where it was experimentally and successful ly grown on Sir Walter's estate in Surrey. ' This was about 1585. But we must near in mind that the pota to of that day was doubtless a v.ery interior article to ours at the nine teenth century, since cultivation and science have combined to produce the perfect specimen. - From England it found its way to adjacent Channel Islands and Ireland, from which lat ter country it derives its present name; being cultivated there, until a. very recent date, almost to exclusion of everything else, and forming the diet of the mass of laboring olasses. In the Channel Islands it is yet most successfully grown, and from thence forms the earliest staple of potato produce in the london markets. - : - ' - M. JS.-. Uod Rales for Winter. The following rules, published in the Farm and Fireside, are worth heeding by those who believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure:- - i . Never lean with the baek upon any thing that is cold.' Never begin a journey until the breakfast- is eaten, t Never take warm drinks and then immediately go out in the cold. . : j Keep the back, especially between the shoulder blades, well, covered also, the chest well protected. In sleeping m a cold room establish, the habit of breathing through the nose, and never with the mouth open. ' i Nover go to bed with cold or damp feet. ' " - . . S Never omit regular - bathing,- for unless the'scin is in active condition the cold will cJose the pores and favor congestion or other diseases. I After exercise of any kind never ride in an open carriage or near the window of a car; for a moment; it is dangerous to health, and even to life. v-. , ' .; When hoarse.- speak - as little as possible until the hoarseness is recov ered from, else the voice may be per manently lost or difficulties of the throat be produced. . .i i Merely warm the back" by a fire, and never continue keeping the back exposed to heat arter it nasocen com fortably warm. , To do otherwise is debilitating. - ; s When eoins from a warm a mos. phere to a cooler one keep the mouth closed, so that the atr may be warmed bv its passage through the i nose ere It reaches th lunjw 1 1 " ' Never stand ,stU in cold .weather, j especial'y after having ta'ren a slight standing on ice or snow, or where the ' person is exposed to a cold wind. - CLEPttYrjtNn L4ITY.
