Vr GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Finance Committee , Propose Graduated Tax on Rail road Earnings. a MERCHANTS' PURCHASE TAX. Hot Firht Over Adoption of Text Books for Public Schools Bill to Create County of Scotland Passed Sec ond Reading in the Senate. Special Star Telegram. i Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 16. The Fi nance Committee, at a meeting this afternoon, voted unanimously ; to im pose a. graduated tax of from one eighth to one per cent, on gross earn ings of railroads. The Committee es timates that the tax will yield an an nual revenue of 1 170,000. The" tax would.have been higher, but for the fact that the separate car bill is now pending, and is expected to become a law, thereby entailing extra expendi tures on the part of railroads. Instead of the merchant's purchase tax' heretofore - collected, the finance bill will carry a graduated license tax.

Designed a $1,500,089 Fifth Avenue Palace New York y . . Herald's Commendatioo. ' " It is always a pleasure for the Stab to direct attention to former Wilming tonians who are winning laurels in their adopted homes, and it is with especial gratification that reference is made to the rapid rise of Mr. K. M Murchison, Jr., son of Col. EL M. Murchison, now of New York, in the work of . his chosen profession, archi tecture. ' ' , - " i : A recent issue of the New York Herald devotes more than a half-page to an illustrated description of a splen did palace soon to be erected in New York at a cost of more than a million and a half dollars, the plans f Or which were drawn by Mr, Murchi son, : who had associated ; with him in the work the firm of Messrs. Lord, Hewlett & HulL The palace is to be erected by Montana's millionaire Senator-elect, Hon. William A. Clark. It is to be situated on Fifth avenue, overlooking Central Park, and will, says the Herald, be a magnificent home. Adding that "even, in this city of beautiful and : costly houses Mr. Clark's new dwelling will deserve to be called extraordinary," . ; The Herald says that the style of the architecture will be modernized Louis XIV, a style which has allowed Mr. Murchison and his associate archi tects to : indulge in a great deal of imaginative and creative work. The exterior walls will be of white gran ite. In referring to the numerous magnificent features of the palace the assertion is made that so -successful have the. architects been, especially in designing the picture gallery and statuary hall, two especially elaborate apartments, that it is doubtful" if the city of New York will contain its su perior. Reference to the plans in de tail would be of interest, but 'space will not admit. Suffice it toBay that Mr. Murchison's work has proven him entitled to a position in the foremost rank of his profession and the Stab congratulates him most heartily. CHANGES IN A. C. L. OFFICES.
