I charged no impure motive to any official; but stated that the high val ues placed upon real estate by reval uation were clue to the- fact TEat~ttre i revaluation was made at a time of ab normally- high prices and was not a real but ficticious value and should!

Jan. 29th, went to Raleigh on Tuesday February 8th and met. by appoint ment, the Joint committees of the House and Senate, on linance, which has the revaluation matter under con sideration. The meeting with th6 committee was very ercouraglng and we have reason to believe thai the legislature will grant some substan tial relief to the landowners of" the State. The writer of this had Romt good assurance tliAt t*ie $300.00 per sonal property exemption would be repealed, and that there would be ( some plan adopted looking to the re duction of real estate values. The Farmers Alliance was there several hundred strong, with repre i sentatlves from all factions of the Stale with, resolutions practically the j same as ours, asking for the repeal of the $300.00 exemption and a cut of | something like B0 pjr cent on the. i real estate values.
