VOL. XLVIII.-NO. 1.
In answer to the assertion by
Republican papers and Congressmen
who in their effort to defend the
McKinley tariff, say that goods are
cheaper now than they were before
that tariff went into effect, the New
York Times says: "There is not a
store in New , York in which dress
goods are not selling at higher prices
than similar goods have heretofore
been sold at; not one in which dress
goods are not commanding higher
prices than they would have bee
marked at had the old tariff been
continued in force."
A little moonshine war seems to
have broken out in Stokes county.
The moonshiner is quite an unob

remain so stilr that you wouldn't
know he was about anywhere in the
hills, until some still hunter runs
afoul of one of his stills, and then he
don't mind exchanging a shot or two
even at the risk of hurting some
body. It is astonishing, the devilish
fascination there is in this business,
the risks that men will run and the
crimes they will perpetrate to carry
it on.

The rate of tax is two per cent, on
real and personal property, and the total
valuation this year is as follows:
Real estate : $3,756,682
Personal 400.415
Solvent credits 242,200
Stock incorporations 313.590
The Charlotte Chronicle contrasts the
rate of taxation of that city with that of
Atlanta:
Atlanta's taxable property Real es
tate, $30,729,894; personal, $11,06.605.
Total, $42,636,499.
Amount of the city debt, $2,216,000.
Total receipts from real and personal,
$647,974 85.
Amount expended annually for street
improvements by the city:
Sewers, $143,000.
Streets, Ordinary. $30,000.
Curbing and sidewalks, $95,000.
Blocks, $100,000.
Opening and widening streets, $22,
520 S3.
Alone the city pays only y& of the
Belgium blocks, and none of the side
walks except to do the necessary grad
ing. About 33 miles of Belgium blocks laid
in the year, at a cost of about $1,000,
000. About 108 miles of sidewalk at a cost
of about $350,000. About 30 miles of
sewers, at a cost of $325,000.
The water works cost Atlanta $600,
000, with a capacity for supplying six
million gallons daily. It cost annually
to keep the same up about $30,000, and
the receipts from the same were $65,000.
The rate of tax is $1.50 on the $100
on both real and personal. Street tax
is $1.00 on each person from 16 to 50
years of age. Of course the real estate
is not assessed at its full market value,
and the personal which is returned by
the owner is not returned at its full
value.
ASSESSED VALUE IN CHARLOTTE.
Real estate, $2,504,747.
Personal, $2,308,109.
City debt, .$133,000.
Tax receipts on real and personal
property, $43,387.72.
Street improvements, average amount
of annual expenditure about $25,000.
Besides tfte receipts of tax as above
due for this current year, there ehould
be added several thousand dollars from
other sources not referred to in the At
lanta memorandum, i. e., from licenses,
fines, &c.
The assessed value for taxation is
much below the real value of the prop
erty here.
In Atlanta the assessed value is much
nearer to the actual value. Here it is
hardly more than one-half.

AN IMPORTANT POINT.
The Appropriations for Sewerage and
Street ImprovementsA Majority of the
Registered "Vote Necessary to Adopt.
Those who favor the appropriations
for sewerage and street improvements
should not overlook the important fact
that it requires a majority of the "quali
fied voters" (which means the register
ed voters) in their favor to make the
issue of bonds legal. For example:
Suppose there should be 2,400 register
ed voters. It would then be necessary
to poll at least 1,201 ( votes in their
favor in order to insflre the suc
cess of the appropriations. It would
make no difference if there were not a
single vote cast against . these measures.
An affirmative vote of.1,200 without one
vote in the negative would mean their
defeat.
It will be seen from the above expla
nation how important it is for all who
favor the appropriations to cast their
votes. Carelessness and indifference on
the part of those who oppose them will
amount to nothing. It is the affirmative
side that must vote. ;
Touching Incident in the Lutheran Church
The Lutheran Church was crowded
from end" to end last Sunday night at
the English services, to witness the con
fession of faith of a class of eighteen
catchumens. The eighteen children
made confession of their holy faith in
an earnest, intelligent' and impressive
manner. After seventeen of them had
performed their high and holy duty, a
touching incident, that is perhaps un
paralleled in our city's history, occurred
when Miss Josephine Boecher, an almost
speechless and deaf child, gave expres
sion to her faith in God. In the letters
and signs of the dumb .alphabet she
gave the Lord's Prayer in a manner that
was not only profoundly touching, but
moved many to tears. Her humble
look ot mingled faith and true devotion,
her raised and motioning speechless
hands, imploringly rendering the Lord's
Prayer, was indeed a touching sight.
She also wrote Scripture passages, etc.,
faultlessly. She is the daughter of our
good fellow townsman, J. Boechler, Sr.
Killed on the Rail.
Mr. Wm. McSween, engineer on the
W. & W. R. K., received a telegram last
night that his brother, Mr.. Hector Mc
Sween, who resides at Florence, S. C,
was run over on the North-Eastern R.
R. about nine miles south of Florence.
The deceased was very deaf, but it could
not be learned whether this had any
connection with the accident, as no par
ticulars were received.
Wild March Winds.
The cautionary northwest storm sig
nal was displayed here Sunday after
noon, for a severe storm reported off
the middle Atlantic coast. The wind
howled all night long, and shifted
around to nearly all points of the com
pass. Telegraphic advices report the
storm very severe in Virginia, with a
heavy fall of snow. Telegraph poles
and wires were blown down in all
directions.
