The fact ia tbia being the quadrennial assessment year for all railroad and other public aervlce corporation property, and the com pletely uew tax asaeasments generally throughout the Hate, with the burden of it devolving on the commiailon In li capacity aa a stale tax commia kn aa well aa corporation comml Ion. and thla being the time for this "ajiifineut to be well under way. there eem to be Imperative neceaaity for the apeedleat possible action by the governor In making the appointment The two aunrtving ' commissioners.

Major II. A. London, of Pittsboro, la expected by bla frind here to be a candidate also, and It la generally conceded -that he would make an ex cellent commissioner.

"The most serious and corrupting aspect of the times Is the tendency of our great millionaires, still professing admiration for our republican institu tions, to shine in splendor aa great noblemen in foreign courts. In their endeavor to pave the way for euch royal status the world haa been pro foundly amused at the.expeuse of this nation by th so-called system of International marriages, oft times se cured by purchase in return for high- sounding titles accidentally held by thin-blooded noblemen. i "Tbe time haa come when this hu miliating spectacle should be brought tn close by a decree coming from the hearts and minds of the true Ameri eaff cltlxen. .
