i Bickett received yesterday in a letter"!
from one ot the best citizens m North
Carolina who lives in one of the most
progressive counties, and which moved
Governor Bickett to ask:
"Will someone who la in fv.vf
perpetuating such iniquity tell; me
what to write this man ibout h!s wid
owed niece? Her case is not excep
tional, but is typical of thousands in
the State."
"The State of NortR Carolina

dollars for her protection after he
naa passed away:
The State forbids ypu to make
more than six dollars on tha V,.i

a bad loan, but if you keep all your
money loaned out au the time and
collect all the interest promptly then
out of every six dollars, that you col
lect you must turn over $4.26 to the
State, town and county, and you can
keep $1.75 for the support of your
self and children. , i

such a tax system so outrage. nVpr in
stinct of decency, everv nulal Koof h
numanny, and every rule or reason and
common sense that even a Govern-
finds it hard to discuss the subject in
terms permitted by the rule and regu
lations of the church.
ouch a law enves tho he t.n pvw
pretense that we maintain a Christian
civilization and brands wrch infamy our
vaunted Southern chivalry, for we are
ctucifying the widows and orphans of
thp land with a law that no set of men
would submit to for thirty seconds. If
the oeneral Assemblv should dar to
enact a law taking from every man

that in office and out of office, in sun

fight this tyranny and injustice un
til it is wiped off the statute books
of North Carolina forever and for
ever.
Under the Revaluation Aft in the,
very county from which this letter
comes, the tax rate will, he pH,ipp1
from four and a Quarter to onp ner
cent, if not le?s. Then out of every
six aoiiars tnat the widow collects
she will pay one dollar to the State,
town and county and have five dol
lars left for the support of herself
and children. And. sutrely t)('is lis
enough. An income tax of sixteen
and two-thirds per Cent without al
lowing any exemptions is certainly
enough to reauire anv class of ihL
zens to pay." From Raleigh News
