Machinery Act. - - AND; ASK FOR MODIFICATION. Special Mectiof of County Commissioners Held ' Yesterday Afternoon to Coo- ; 8l4er,,Aiove Named Qnestlon. Other Business. lie. - The Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting yesterdayfter noont mainly for the purpoee of hear ing a petition from- the various com ; mercial bodies of the city relatire-to a modification of the manner of tax list tag prescribed in -section. 27 of the Machinery Act of 1901. . - This section is captioned "Debts owing to tax payers may be "deducted after giving list of same to ' List- Tak era," and gave rise to objection on this portion: "All bimafide indebtednesa owinsrby any persons may . be de-: ducted by the tax. lister from the amount of said ' person's credits, pro vided he shall give an itemized I state ment in detail of how said debts are secured, to whom owing, the resi dence of such creditors and the amount due each." m Heretofore, the Ww only required the filing of indebtedness by bulk not by minute system of itemization. Committees were present from the different commercial bodies, as-foi lows: Mr. M. W. Jacobi, from1 the Chamber of Commerce. Messrs. J. C. Stevenson and Oscar Pearsall, from the Wholesale Grocers Association. - Col. W. A. Johnson and Mr. W. A. French, from the Merchants' Asso ciation. The .Committees objected strongly against the portion of the section re ferred to and presented forcible argu ment in asking for its modification. Mr. Stevenson acted as chairman of the committees and based his request on the " broad ground that such an itemized statement of indebtedness as mentioned in the section under dis cushion would prove injurious to commercial interests, as it would be an entire exposure pure and simple of business. Especially harmful would it be in comparison with business houses of other portions of the State, i that had not a city tax like Wilming ton's staring them in the face. Then, too, he pointed to the fact that no discretionary- power r whatever was vested in the County Commissioners. Hon. M. S. Willard, who was a member of the finance committee of the last General Assembly, was also at the meeting. He "was present by request tj throw some. light on the section in question. He gave a lengthy and detailed definition of its object and intended work. He stated that 'it had been found that personal property to a great extent had been escaping taxation in the State and the question had resolved itself simply to the proposition whether or not all at tempt to tax this class of property should be given up or to adopt meas ures similar to those which other States had enacted ; that the constitu tion of the State does not permit the exemption of any class of property and therefore this was not attempted. Further, he said, it was shown that in a number of States similar provis ions to the section in our law were in fcrce and also that some States did not permit the deduction of debts at all, and that the tax law of the State of Michigan permits the following deduction from a tax-payer's credits: "All bona fide indebtedness, owing by such person, giving an itemized statement in detail, how secured,, and to whom owing, and the residence of creditors and the amount due each, provided he desires to have the same deducted from his credits." He also read from the recent report of the Industrial Commission in regard to the deduction for debts in the State of New Jersey to the effect that "any person or corporation in the State is entitled to deductions of bona fide indebtedness from the assessment of real and personal estate, providing a verifitd statement is made to the as sessor of the debts owing and desiredr to be deducted, x to whom owing and where creditors reside.'? ' He called attention to the fact that the law did not require, this informa tion to be given, except when it was desired to have the deduction made from the tax list, and the purpose was not to unnecessarily inquire into the private affairs of any individual, but to give the tax lister such informa tion as would enable him to see that the deductions when made were prop erly listed by the person to whom the debt was owing. - Continuing, he read a short extract from a recently published book issued by the John Hopkins' press, com menting on the tax system in North Carolina and saving that "the chief fault of the general property tax in North Carolina is, as has already been shown, the allowance of an exemp tion of debts to the tax payer. With this removed, there is every reason to believe that a more honest , return of solvent creoits would be made thaxr under the present system, wherein the law favors fraud by rendering it im possible of detection," Mr.v Willard; said it was evident that it would - only be a short time before efforts to obtain tax from prop erty of this kind would Jbave to be abandoned. . He himself was in favor of a system . which would exempt all personal property from taxation in the hands of . individuals, which would separate, the source of income for State revenue, from that of .; county, and municipal revenue V and would relegate to the 'counties. all lithe revenue to be derived: from,? real estate. If this was - done, he aaid, it would do away with the in equalities which now'exist on account of unequal valuations of real estate in different counties, and: would leave to the State the revenue to be derived from taxation of corporations, fran chises, incomes and inheritances, ' i Mr. Willard claimed that, with the single exception of : this ; provision in regard to deduction of debts there was nothing new in . the revenue, or machinery act which could justly be complained! of. : He . admitted there were certain provisions which taxed the stock of certain corporations, which were a great burden to taxpay ers, but said that these provisions had been in the law for years and that the tax listers had failed to enforce .them and there could be no doubt but that they would be repealed. v, - ; He closed his remarks by saying that .'- the. efforts of ;: the "legislature were directed to doing all they could to eliminate everything they could in the nature of a double tax and this was done in every instance where any new method of taxation was adopted. The board instructed its chairman, Commissioner D. McEachern, to write to the State Auditor and get a definite interpretation of section 27. Other Basiness. The Commissioners transacted sev eral other matters of business before adjournment. The bond of the coroner, Dr. C. D, Bell, was presented and accepted. The bond is for $2,000, given by the Amer ican Bonding & Trust Co., of Balti more, Md. . Application from a number of fresh meat dealers for a reduction of privi ledge tax was denied, as the commis-i sioners had no power to act. The dealers claimed an . increase of 150 per cent, and . stated that it would force some of them to quit business. A proposition from Mr. John J. Armstrong, president of the Han over Land and Improvement Com pany, to furnish the ; county with phosphate for use on roads at 25 cents per ton was accepted. The meeting-adjourned about 4:30 o'clock. There were present at the session Commissioners McEachern, Holmes and Montgomery. WASHERWOMAN ARRESTED For Larceny Committed a Month Ago. Mr. W. W. Holliday's Family Were the Victims. A colored washerwoman, Bessie Mc- Fadden, was arrested by the police yes terday af ternoon,charged with larceny. It is alleged that the woman stole a quantity of washing from the family of Mr. W. W. Holliday about a month ago, and the'story goes as follows: About the time mentioned a washer woman was needed at the residence of Mr. Holliday, on Second street, be tween Chesnut and Grace. The ser vices of Bessie McFadden were secured by the colored cook at the house. Meter Dickson. She took the washing and promised to return it shortly, but when the day arrived she did not reappear or did the washing put in its appear ance. Several days grace were pro ductive of no results and then a search was instituted, but the woman and the washine both had disappeared. The police were no tified, but no trace was found of the woman until yesterday, when Meter Dickson, the cook, discovered her on Market street, between Second and Third. The police were at once noti fied of her whereabouts and Police man Woebse made the arrest. "She confessed to having the washing and under her guidance a portion of it was' found in a house on Second street, between Princess and Market, and the rest at her home, corner Eleventh and Princess streets. The allesred thief was locked up in the station house. She will be given a preliminary trial in the police court this morning.

Mr. W. W. Clark, manager of the team, arrived here yesterday, to feel the pulse of Charlotte, and he found that it beat at a healthy rate. A meet ing of local enthusiasts was held last night at- the ElkaTemple, at Which Manager Clark invited a proposition and got it promptly. Messrs. Unas. Wadsworth, Postmaster Mullen, Mr. 8yd B. Alexander, Jr., and Mr. Hoop er, of the Central Hotel, came down with the proposition above outlined It is a guarantee with no strings to it If the city fails to make the proposi tion good, their names are responsible for the contract.

BIG REWARD OFFERED For the Apprehension of the Par ties Implicated in Last Sun day Night's Tragedy. AUTHORITIES HARD AT WORK On the Case and Are In Hopes Shortly of Clearing Away - the Mystery Sua feet Waddell Will be Set T Free To-day. Every means is being taken by the authorities, to unravel ; the mystery surrounding the death of Mr. Gaston' Price and to capture the parties impli cated in. the despicable crime. The Nvassa.jQu'fco Company, at ..iwnose- plaht the hwBieasiu in whose employ Mr. Price was . for many years, is taking an active inter est in ferreting out the assassins. Cape Fear Lodge No. 2, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of this city, is also energetically engaged in the investi gation. Each have offered a reward of $100 for the apprehension "of the murderers. This reward of $200 will, no doubt, be largely increased when the authorities of Brunswick county, where the horrible tragedy was en acted on a Sabbath evening, are heard from. Sheriff Stedman will, no doubt, hear from Sheriff Walker, of Brans wichtoday or to-morrow. Mr. Price was a member of Cape Fear Lodge over twenty years and was always an enthusiastic . and faith ful Odd Fellow. There were no new developments in the case yesterday, though the detec tives are hard at work on new clues. The young negro suspect Lisbon Waddell, arrested Wednesday, will be turned loose to day, unless some evi dence not expected turns up.
