The year now almost undid hu been Ana very full, ' - of ' progress 1 and development for . North Carolina. Tour correspondent haa traveled much and haa aeen the b'tate literally from end to end and Tan truly Bay, that not In 2 years of newspaper work haa. so much been . seen in the way of Improvement. The ', towns look better and so do the coun- V ry roads In many sections; there are better ' horses nd vetilolea; better ' dressed people, and better behnved . ones too. for development Is along . many lines, physical, mental and i moral. The State departments here. ; i In a way. reflect tba progress f the ; .State. That of education tells It very ' plainly. When newspaper men en ' - ter there they get a brlgnt smile from (. State Superintendent Joynor, us ho 'i tails thara of near erhoolhouses, Kp ' clal taxes for schools, and or other '" frttal educational movements, it Is '., av new world In a good many nays, i . Than In toe office of the decretory of i .Btato, where one clerk ond a couple f assistant have to devote their time to corporations, there Is also inn etonr, written very boldly snd plainly, of tba State's growth and advance - ; ment in an Induustrlal way. in the ,-' mrter of cotton mils the year bus boon marked by great progr.-ns.

Carolina has bisrger mills and perhaps more rplndles. but It Is much to be doubted whether any Utute In the South has more Industries and has them scaiterod so well as to af ford employment over no great a portion of the State and in such vn ried character. A man who travels all the time cannot begin to keep up with what is going; on. ror even a few weeks mark notable chancrs. MCST EQCALIZK TAXATION. . There Is no quern Ion that a legis lature, sooner or later will riavn to equalise taxation In North Carolina. Here Is a county, for example, which values propertyy at say 40 per cent. ef Its real value, while tne very next county will lmposo valuation or; double as much. State Auditor Iix en says this Is not only un'ust but it Is disgraceful. It Is this which brings about a condition of things which is seen here the clamor for money to carry on the State government. The Slate of Alabama, for example, uhlch doesn't compare with North Carolina, raises $6,200,000 In tave annually. Tile fact that 4 4 tountlex In North Carolina receive from the State ni to than Oncy pay In Is ntonlxhlng. The Auditor lias before this called the at tention of the Legislature to inequal ity In taxation, but no attention has been paid to it simply, pcrliapn, be cause the leglclatoiH in a great, many cases were thinking about nxe grinding and all port or local busi ness and unable to take a compre hensive view of things. That lx the trouble and has nearly alwayx be en with North Carolina Legislature it has required to much pulling an 1 hauling to get common-Hen-o things done In a broad-gauge way. 1 re member well how th late Dr. Charles D. Mclver. or blessed memory, used to have to worry about getting fund for that splendid college or hi. But to go hack to the Inequality In taxa tion, the Idea or A big county like Cumberland, with one of the Uncut towns In the State, besides a lot or mills and a great deal of ralluay mil eage, getlng 14.000 a year more rrom the Stato than It pays In. Surely the Legislature will take steps to improv on this condition of things, of rourxe there are somo weak counties which may be expected not to come up to the mark yet uwhili.-, hut whin in ,u. .i i . tnese there would ln a very great difference ir property Has properly valued. Tho fact of It Is that a lot of the tax assessor are axe-grlnders themselves and It Is n case of "You tickle me and I'll tit kin you.'' The allowing whlrh was made a tew years ' ago as to the valuation of property la North Carolina, made at the In stance or a grrcat railway, which thought It was being persecuted, brought out th Inequality ,r taxation and also developed the fact t lint there Was a gross undervaluation In many a county. The session of a Legislature may le a Joy to tho members thcniHelves. though they deny it. but the general public, does not think of one except, mm the politicians say, to "View It with alarm." Public officials dread the session, and the board i rig-house and hotel people are perhaps the only ones who reel anything approaching 'Joy. The study halls, so biwily venti lated, and so crowded, are not attrac tive places. As a rule ono member dies during u session, from disease contracted on the, spot VETKItANH 4 Mil NO KAHT Out at the HoldlerV Hume their are many eik In the hospital these days. The fad that In t twelve month "lie man out of every h in died tells how feel, I,. I lie r,, feliij.., are and how rast they are going. 'Lint has been the record tills your Mon day night the writer was out ni (lie Home, entertaining his old -.ililler friends, end as he u as entnng the grounds met a inun Juki entering, who asked ror the office or Huperiti tendent Brooks it turned out that this was a new inmate, from t'unl tuclc county. Ktrange i,i kh v he had walked all the from that, r tv to llalclgh. very early In the war. to enlist In the Mh regiment, after a large part of that command had be, u captured st Knanol'c IMaml. II. enlisted at the old Ktate fi, grounds, ; mly a few yards from the Holdlers' Home, and hern lm wus, l ompleting the circle by coming back f the he- , ginning, one may uy. to spend his last days. After the entertainment the writer took im asslon to sieal ' about this lo the Inmntes. who, to be ;ure received the new arrival with u wry frank heartiness. Lir,- hi the Home is a very hum-drum tiling, as It i la at all such places, hut yet it is n -very home-like pIuum. and uell situat ed, except that the street railway does not reach It. Mention has been made of the f.n t ' that (Secretary or Ktute Crime, vi ti in a large farmer In the eust, hud said ..that the shortage of the i-rop this ' year almost approaches the dliuriuduii. f a public calamity Ih thut part of the BUitn.

Norm Carolinians pay a heavy penalty for Ignorance, and for lack of belief In people who really know thlna-s. Governor Glenn laid before , the board of agriculture-early In the year the matter of making an exhibit, at Boston and pressed It to a successful cone I union. Ho made a lucky strike, for thet exhibit ha done this Htete a world of good. Now he is taking up the question of Immigration, In which North Carolina has done lens, perhaps than any Mate In the country' The effort has been made, in a small way, to get tne Ideas of people as to what they really want that Is, whether they want help from abroad or not but the result has been very unsatisfactory. The people who could bo heard to say they never saw the Ijibor Problem so serious and who ex pressed a desire to get servants and all sorts of help, yet. It seems, could not find the time to write to the offi cials who sought to ascertain what class of Immigrants and how many or them were wanted'. The fact of it Is thut the bringing here of Kuropeans rroin the northern psrl or that con tinent Ik something; which ought to commend Itself to everyone. Of course there are North Carolinians who any they do not want to nee any IniiiiigruntN. but to see people raised at home rant enough to populate the whole Mate. The people who nay this, as a rule, seldom Iruve their own county. If they traveled unU saw the Krent Hlretches of wuxti' land their Ideux would be broadened and they I nouhl set an Insight Into wliut North Carolina would be If It had thrice its present population, bn-iid-n Itinera und buyer, to make thing hum. THE AgKHNKTIIY CAHK. Governors have a hard time and ur liable to be Imponed on Jtint like other people. To the writer it seems that ,i... .ii i . i iitu aif nil jritpru 0,1 ill the matter of "Hud" Abernethy. From u (.imiimI giatxe at the papers In this caae thli HoeniB apparent. Most of tho slgiintures of the JOS men who signed the petition for pardon are written in pencil in such a way as to Indicate that they ure uneducated people; many perhaps, negroes. Publication was made of the ract that the pur don would be nxked for and It will h Interesting to know in what paper this appeared. The dipping is tiled with the paper, but does not give the name or the newspaper. Governor Glenn Is a curerul man snd vrry kindly one and he Is not often Im posed upon, but this time it looks like a sure thing. The papers must to have originally been tiled In 1904 rikI then held back anil put in about last Jan uary. The name or Governor Aycock was written und over it Is roughly written that or Governor Glenn. Tli--name of no lawyer appears on the paper. During the past few years the lovrrnors have been very careful ) anout this pardon business, renuli Ins: I notice to be puhllshed ami filed, and I usually, almost invariably, attorneys appear for the persons in Interest. The auditorium question Is one which Is yet IWore the Kalelgh pub lic and perhaps It Is a little nearer solution than heretofore. This much Is done the site Is bought and paid for. The owners also own the Acad emy of Music, which Is a good piece of property, large enough ror a thea tre, though not up to date, but of course not 'large enough ror nn audi torium. It has been suggested that the whole place be made n pleasure palace, witli all sorts or amusements under one roor: for example, skating, bowling, etc. A purpose is shown, however, to get something done with in the next few months. Not a day passes thst some one Is not heard to say something about the need or an auditorium. This need has been a rostly one ror Raleigh, because It has lost the conventions. A couplo of Mate conventions were hold In a toliBcco warehouse, but the warehouse u-ii iur in s i ruuMi in iiiiw a Hia- , , President AVInslon gays that the : Improvements at the Agricultural 4k ' .Mechanical College; In the deport nv ill I of the students Is very remarkable-. The number of regulations bus been I made very small and I lie student" are I put more upon their honor. An effort was made to have It a military col lege, hut It was so in name only It seems that the cadets do not want to wear uniforms, this of ltseir being n j quite curious fail, but upon Inquiry It was said that a good many of the people who wer islted by tho stu dents In the city preferred to have them In citizens' clothes and not In unirorm. This Is a ract much more astonishing and If It had been re lated two score.years ngo would have been ridiculed. Any way the military feature of the college Is n very small thing now. the cadets never appearing In uniform except at drill. It Is snld. however, thut the change has so much gratllled hem that their deportment lias Improver 100 per rent, since last session. ASSOCIATED CHAII1TIKH Charlotte, It seems, Is looking Into the management of the nssoclated charities here. The writer has se cured from the clergymen of the city testimonials which show how excellent tbe work lias been In Italelgh not only In aiding the needy poor ami shk. In discriminating snd getting lurid of t lie deserving, but furthermore In stumping out, to u remarkable ex tent, street begging In fact rwo old women are about the only beggars now left, these being troublesome t4 the last degree, and by reason of their age and other peculiarities, being be yond the rrach of any human regula tions In Oils part of the world. The f-ysteni of friendly visiting has been cry popular among tho poor, as It brings uboiit the Instant relief which l so much needed. It Is truly said "lie who gives quickly gives twjee." The wood supply Is usually bought In On' summer and large supplies or clothing, second-hand usually, are laid SEND GREETING BY 'PHONE.

' The ladles who are so deeply Inter ested in the reformatory . movement deplore the fact that the very mem ber of the Legislature who waa so bitter against the movement et the last session has been -returned. - His name need not be recalled, but the women of the State know It well. Tbey rind the press of North Carolina Is on their side, except, perhaps, one paper, which seems to be opposed to the movement. It ia really difficult to understand how any one can op pose such an Institution. The Legis lature will be riven a chance to put Itself on record, once Jnore on this question. ' Liverpool Yd ton.
