Men of Wide Experience and Merit Absence of Accidents Attributed to Slower Schedules. ' Special to The Observer. ' Spencer, April 6. By a slight shake up among some .of the minor officials of the Southern ' Railway Company the following r changes . have been made effective at once:. , . W. R. Hudson, formerly trainmas ter on the Seaboard Air Line, be comes superintendent of the terminal division at Spencer with offices here. He has already entered upon his new duties, succeeding J. A. Shoemaker, who has gone to a Western State. V, N. Camden, for two yars general yardmaster for the Southern at Spen cer, - has been appointed trainmaster of the Charlotte division with head quarters at Charlotte. R. L. Avery, for several years yardmaster for the A. C. L. road at Rocky Mount, "has been appointed eneral yardmaster at Spencer, and has taken charge, suc ceeding P. M. Byrd, resigned., - v The changes bring promotion . to several of the men who are railroad ers of wide experience and are made In the Interest of good service. It Is worthy of note that the Southern has been- running for several months without a serious wreck, a fact which is attributable to .the change from fast to a slower schedule on the main line well as on almost, all branch Jines. . , , lias Far to Travel Yet. ; Tarboro Southerner. Bays v the level-headed ' Wilmington Messenger: - - "Just suppose that Grover Cleveland was about 10 years younger, what would the Democrats do at their next rational convention? We do not believe anything could prevent his nomination. We firmly believe he would sweep the country. No one would stand any show a an opponent to him for the Tiomlna tlon at the Democratic convention, and we honestly believe he would be the strongest man the ' Democrats could nominate." f,.',. :.

The graduated income tax law, which was provided for in the con stitution of 1893. but which has from its enactment to the present time, been most shamelessly dodged by men of means prominent In, church and so-j cial circles In every county lrr ; the State, is to be attacked in the co"urts on the ground that It is unconstltu-1 tlonal. This action has been taken as a result of a resolution passed a few days ago by the Laurens county board of etftiallzatlon, which instructed the auditor to serve the blank forms on those he had reason to believe were liable to the tax with notification that he would assess them according to Information and belief If they did not make return. Mr. JJ O.- C. Fleming ; way one- of-thoae sftrvftdaRd' jwha secured a temporary Injunction from Chfef Justice- Pope restraining the au ditor from collecting the tax until the Supreme Court can pass upon the questions raised. Tha rule Is made returnable on April 22. i The law provides for a graduated tax on incomes of $2,500 or V more. Many of the circuit Judges of the State are paying though their liability . is doubtful on account of having to pay traveling expenses out of a salary bare ly above the minimum limit Both Sen ators Tillman and Latimer have .re sisted paying on the ground that a Federal salary cannot be taxed by the State.. - ' " :V: '. A- The feeling throughout the State Is that the law "should be enforced or repealed, as tax dodging on the part of prominent men has a demoralizing effect.-?- '. -.

There has been a dispen sary at Cheraw, in that county, some time,, but efforts to establish one at the county seat has always been sue cessf ully resisted. There Is an !
