Tax Commission Reports. Eeleigh, Special. The North Caro lina corporation commission, as the State tax commission, has made its annual report to the governor. The work of the' commission is outlined and tables prepared - showing every thing in regard to assessment and tax matters, there being 26 tables. From these it seems that the number of polls listed was 231,076, against 276-,-459 for, the previous year and that the total assessed value of all the property was $461,500,669, against $442,59S.221, showing an increase of 13.922,440 for the year which is re garded as very satisfactory. The in comes listed were $2,79S,S95 against $2,454,504. The total tax levy on property was $3,433,S29 for State pensions and county purposes and of this 65,156 was not collected. The tax levied on polls and property for municipal purposes was $1,187,519, of which $155,071 was not collected. The commission thinks great pro gress has been made in listing and assessing property, during the past six years, as in 1900 the total as sessment was $291,269,55S, the in crease during that period having been $70,251,110. The commission agrees that there is more equal assessment and less property taxation than ever before, yet there is great inequality in assessments in different counties and even in different townships in the same county, list-takers in many cases without any preparation being expected to perform this most im portant duty. The commission thinks that it should be made the duty of some officer or county commissioner to supervise the work of township list takers and assessors. Should Repeal Local Poll Tax Laws. It thinks that provisions ' of tho revenue act requiring secrecy as to returns of corporations and incomes of indiviuals should be repealed. It favors an exemption of personal roperty frpm taxation of $300 in stead of $25, that the poll tax not ex ceed $2. The constitution provides for both these things. It further rec ommends that laws authorizing cities and towns levying poll taxes for mu nicipal purposes be repealed, as no other State in the union permits a poll tax of $6 oi $7, which is col lected in some cities and towns in this State, for State, county and mu nicipal purposes. This oppressive tax is levied upon the idea that in municipal taxes, the equation and constitution requires between proper ty and polls must be observed. Mecklenburg Has Largest Valuation. The total tax raised for all pur poses, State, pension, schools, coun ty, and municipal is $7,935,456, Mecklenburg county shows the larg est valuation of property and the largest tax, $18,6S7,848 and $241,S63 respectively, Wake being next, Dur ham third, Buncombe fourth, Guil ford fifth, Forsyth sixth, New Han over seventh, Robeson eighth, while Clay is the smallest, having valua tion of only $646,406, and paying taxes amounting to $8,241. The total assessed value of corporations ex cept railroads and banks is $45,024, 437, and of banks, $12,975,365. Meck lenburg has the largest bonded debt, $300,000. Road Nearly Complete. Xew Berne Special The New Bern and Washington division of the Ra leigh and Palmieo Sound Railway is nearly completed. The rails are laid to the village of Vanceboro, half way to "Washington, and it is being laid at the rate of a mile ,per day by means of a track machine. The road will be completed on contract time, by February. J High Point . Industry. High Point, Special. It is more than probable that another large manufacturing industry will be locat ed here shortly. rMr. M. A. Black burn, general manager of the New Century Wire, Steel and Iron Works, Js in the city with this in view. The company manufactures'iron, wire and stel fences of an ornamental design and already has factories at Wich ita, Kansas; Harvard Neb.';Boon ville, Me.; McMinnville, Oregon, and Tulare, Cal.; ' ' Woman Scalded. Salisbry, Special. Mrs. Jno. W. Webb was severely scalded at her home in this city late Thursday after noon by the overturning of a kettle which she was removing from a stove.

R. REPORT Corporation Commirsion Makes Pub lic Its Annual Report to the' Gov ernor. The eighth annual report of the j corporation commission is Sled, trans mitting to the Governor the reports af 56 railways, nine street railways, ihe Southern Express Company and tvro telegraph companies, up to June 30,'" and the reports . of 264 banks to November 12. The number of miles of railway in operation are 3,991, as against 3,859 last year, showing a remarkable in crease. Of the four great systems, the Atlantic Coast Line operates9 917. Seaboard 612, the Southern 1,320, 'the ' Norfolk & Southern 320. The latter is building 120 miles. Four new roads have been put in operation, the Durham & Southern, Blue Ridge & Atlantic, Carolina & Glenn and Ral sigh & Pamlico Sound. . Profits Show Reduction.- The proportion of expenses to gross sarnings is unusually large, the re duction of profits being due largely to the failure to provide proper facil ities for moving and handling busi ness. There have been innumerable suits for damages, and penalties fol delays in transportation. The traffic congestion has been largely responsi ble for numerous and bad wrecks. The gross earnings on business with in the State aggregate $6,965,486; net earnings $11,S03,467. Numerous complaints of bad roadbeds and tracks are made. The commission has, unfortunately, no power to re quire the roads to put their proper ty :n safe condition. Investigation has been made of bad tracks, and tho necessity of improvement has 'been pointed out, the roads improving iu some cases, while in others conditions are very unsatisfactory. Many Wrecks. Freight wrecks have been unusual ly numerous. There was a very dis astrous passenger wreck on the Sea board near Rockingham, which killed 22 and injured 35, which would not have happened if the block system had been in use the commission finds. The road was urged to adopt it im mediately on its main line, but has not done so. Another fatal wreck occurred on the Coast Line near Aho skie. The commission found 17 trains a day passing there and the block system not in use. It decided it could not have occurred had it beea in use. The Coast Line immediately ordered the block system on its whole line. ; There is a marked increase in the number of persons killed and injured by trains. Last year 114 were kill ed, 7S7 wounded, and this year 126 killed, and 1,051 injured. The com mission finds the freight service has grown steadily worse for over a year, and is now so intolerably bad that it is not uncommon for a month to be required in order to get a shipment from one point to another in North Carolina, in the face of heavy penal ties. As a result, business interests here are being seriously crippled, and shippers have lost in the aggre gate hundreds of thousands of dol lars. Complaints pour in of lack of cars for outgoing business. Many lumber mills are being seriously ham pered and some have shut down, one needing now 200 cars and having needed 10 every day for two month? but could not get them. A Killing in Alexander. Taylorsville, Special. News has reached here of an accidental killing in Whittenburg township, this county The five-year-old son of Arthur Da vis, Tuesday afternoon, was playing with a 22-calibre rifle in the arms of his older brother.

USING OUTBUILDINGS FOR FUEL Lack of Material and Labor Impedes Manufacture of - New Roiling Stock President Roosevelt In terested. n . v , , Minneapolis, Minn. The second day of the Interstate Commerce Com mission inquiry, into Northwest trans portation conditionsbrpught out facts of first importance relative : to tho effects upon the country of the grain blockade. The commission had given over the first day largely to the fuel inquiry, with the idea of relieving dis tress, and to this end had sent out telegrams of inquiry to many points asking as to the coal supply and how long it would last. Telegrams began to pour In and when representatives we're in from over twenty towns it was clear that the commission had acted none too quickly in securing the promise of co-operation on the part of the coal companies and the railroads in reliev ing distress, for in some localities farmers have been . . hurning their fences and outbuildings, and in other towns piles of valuable lumber were cut up into fuel to keep people ( from freezing. - The ; farmers got into the inquiry later. "'. They came in -numbers from North Dakota and told the commis sion the story of the effect of the blockade upon the price of wheat. They said prices have been depressed abnormally, because elevators were full; that wheat4 lay on the ground at many points; that there was no open market and the farmers had either to sacrifice in price or haul the wheat back home again after having offered it, in some cases two or three times. E. J. Weiser, vice-president of' the First National Bank, of Fargo; A. E. Swenson, president of the Security State Bank, of . Barlow and other North Dakota bankers and farmers, gave testimony to show that failure to move the crops put the country commercially. In 1 straitened condi tions. Farmers who had ample means to meet all obligations If they had been able to turn the product Into cash could not market their grain, and so the effect was felt all along the line. The commission gave much atten tion to car service and competing and non-competitive points, also to further testimony respecting time in transit on shipments. Many more instances of cars in transit for a month ormorj, over a short haul, were offered. Xhe commission expressed Itself a3 startled at some of the reports sent to it, upon inquiry, from localities bare of fuel, and said that the inquiry had opened up much new information and has so far shown a situation more serious in every respect than they had expected to find when they de cided to begin the investigation.. The President Determined. Washington, D. C. That President Roosevelt has taken a determined in terest with a view to finding legisla tive remedy for the car shortage in the Northwest, which now threatans the people with freezing and starva tion because the railroads are unable to transport fuel and food to them, was indicated by conference at the White House. The President sent for Senator Hansbrough and asked him whether the actual danger is as great as has been reported by press dis patches and telegrams from indi viduals. - . The. North Dakota Senator re ported that from dispatches he has received the statement of conditions in his State, Minnesota and South Da kota has not been exaggerated. T-e President promised to give the ques tion his personal attention with a view to alleviating any immediate suffering, and said he desired Senator Hansbrough to devote time and thought to some, .remedy to avoid a recurrence of present conditions.

BAD BANK FAILURE ALARMS State May Lose by Collapse of Waynesburg (Pa.) Institution. Pennsylvania's Deposit of $75,000 ia in Danger Depositors Xot Alarmed r-Many Wealthy Men Liable. Pittsburg, Pa.- Eenjamin F. Mea sey, cashier for State Treasurer Will iam F. Berry, reached Waynesburg, having been hurriedly sent there by the State Treasurer to try to ascer tain whether the bondsmen of the defunct Farmers and Drovers' Na tional Bank will make good the $75,- 000 of State funds on deposit there. Much alarm Is felt for the safety of the deposit, and the indications are that the State will have to take chances with the other depositors. In that case, criminal action will be begun at once against the bank offi cials by the State.. It was found that the minute book of the bank, containing the names ol the bondsmen, had disappeared. The bond on file at Harrisburg contains the names of fourteen, men : M. Say ers, George W. Gordon, Samuel Har vey, G. H. Moredock, George N. Rine hart, J. . B. F. Rinehart, Daniel S. Walton, Samuel M. Smith, C. H. Bowlby, A. B. Reese,. W. A. Hook, J. B. Donley, S. W. Scott and John I. Worley, How many of these are still oh the bond can only be told by the missing minute book. Of the four teen men J. B. F. Rinehart is the cashier under arrest. Daniel S. Wal ton is the president of the bank, and John I. Worley is dead. The State Treasurer's cashier will try to learn who the present bondsmen are. It became known that there were rumors of crookedness in the affairs of the Waynesburg Bank more than a year ago, when the fight for State Treasurer j was on . and . when many banks were being attacked from the stump. At that time its affairs were in such serious shape that it might have been forced to the wall, and it was not brought publicly into the controversy. Six months ago the Government was cognizant of the affairs of the bank, it was said. Previous to June 1 the Controller of the Currency de manded the resignation of Rinehart as cashier. The resignation was handed in, and Harry George, assist ant to National Bank Examiner Cun ningham, was placed in the bank with the title of assistant cashier, the position of cashier being held open. Rinehart continued as vice-president, and the public never knew that he had ceased to be cashier. j The people of Waynesburg are not aiarmeu over me laiiure, as promin ent and wealthy men are behind theJ institution. The shopkeepers are cashing checks on the closed bank In tne belief the paper will be redeemed. DISCHARGED, HE ENDS LIFE. Joseph Sherwood Laid OfTBecause ol Failing Eyesight and Hearing. Waterbury, Conn. Joseph Sher wood, who at sixty was strong and hearty, but whose hearing and Eye sight had failed a little, was dis charged by the Mend en Manufactur ing Company on the score of age. "You have been with us for a long while, Joe, and you have done your share," said the superintendent; "you'd better lie off for the rest of your days. You ought to have save4 enough to live on." Joe packed up his kit and went home. "I'm too old to be any good," he told his wife; 'they've fired me. I guess I'm not worth having around anywhere any longer." Next day they found Joe hanging deadvfrom his doorsill. He had made a rope of his suspenders. FORTUNE GIVEN TO CHARITY. Decisions in Yerkes and Shipman Cases Liberate $10,000,000. Chicago. The decision of Judge Walter H. Sanborn, of the United State's Circuit Court, in the Charles T. Yerkes case and the will of Daniel B. Shipman, throws about $10,000, 000 of the estate of wealthy Chica goans into the scales of charity. In the Yerkes. case Judge Sanborn held that the $5,000,000 in bonds of the Chicago Consolidation Traction Company, which is said to constitute half of the Yerkes estate, was not the property of the underlying . compa nies. This decision leaves the execu tors of the Yerkes estate in a position to proceed at once with the erection of the hospital and art gallery at New York, and enables Mr3. Yerkes Mizner to begin the construction of a hospital at Chicago. . BURNHAM GIVEN TWO YEARS. j Insurance Officer Sentenced to Prison j For Robbing Company. I New York City.

Senator Foraker occupied the at tention of the Senate in its last ses sion before the holiday recess in au extended criticism of the basis of President Roosevelt's action ia dis charging the negro troops of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry on account of the Brownsville raid. He was replied to briefly by,. Senator Lodge, white Senator Scott sustained the demand of the Ohio Senator for a full investi gation of the matter by the Senate committee. A resolution directing such an investigation is before tin Senate for action at its next meeting. Senator Foraker began hi3 speech with" the broad declaration that The President misconceived his constitu tional power when he discharged the troops and he also misconceived tiuft testimony on which his action, was based." Continuing Mr. Foraker said that the President's constitutional power was simply to command the army and navy as commander-in-chief, while t Congress the constitution gave power to raise armies and to make rules and regulations for its government. v The regulations prescribed that no man could be summarily discharged with a right to-be, tried and the articles of war, he argued, prescribed minutelj how these trials are to.be conducted. That all punishment should .be in ac cordance with the direction of eourts martial. He contended after reading at length from the articles of war it is inconconceivable that the President should be absolutely without restraint Duty of Court-MartiaL The President, he said, stated in bis message that these soldiers were guilty of mutiny and had been, dis charged for that reason. He follow ed this with the article of war providing that a eourt-martial should direct this punishment. This was all to guard against the exercise of am automatic power. Congress to pro vide against excessive punishment, had limited the penalties. Mr. Foraker cited cases from the work of General Davis on mili tary law, where the refusal to grive testimony was an offense under the head of "disorder," and was punish able by court-martial. Senator Lodge asked an explana tion of the 352 discharges from the army "without honor" during the past year, but Mr. Foraker contended that these discharges had not been ordered as a punishment. The men in these cases have been separated from the service in lieu of punish ment by . court-martial, and in cases where the men would rather take a discharge without honor than remaia in the service and take punishment. The case of the negro troops was al together different. The negroes had desired to stay in the serviee. As to punishment in these cases lie read the President's remark that he regarded the discharge as punishment wholly inadequate. - Mr. Foraker agreed that if the men were guilty of murder the punishment was wholly inadequate, but if thev-weie innocent the punishment was brutality harsh, ' ' as these men go forth branded as murderers and conspirators and per jurers." The resolution of Mr. Foraker goes over without action until after the holiday recess. The Senate adjourn ed until January 3, 1907. Adjourns For The Holidays. After being in session "three-quarters of an hour the House adjourned until January 3, 1907. Empty desks greeted the Speaker when the House convened and even among the mem bers who remained the desire to get away for the holidays was suprior to the inclination for business. . Representative Mondell, of Wyom ing, succeeded in Dassing his bill ex tending the time in which entrymea may make final settlement on the Shoshone Indian reservation. Representative Payne, of New York, called up his resolution relat ing to , the distribution of the Presi dent's annual messages to the several committees in accordance with a cus tom that , has existed since the foun lation of the government. The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole with Repres entative Lacy, of - Iowa, in the chair, and the references by the various parts of the message to appropriate' committees were -discussed. The de bate was perfunctory, members show ing little disposition to "tear a pas sion to tatters," with Christmas just over the way and after a half hour's discussion the committee rose. The House then, after passing the resolu tion, adjourned for the Christmas holidays at 12 :25 p. m. A hundred members waited after the House adjourned to extend tha season's greeting to Speaker Cannou, who showed by his manner that his heart was warmea ay me shown in his welfare. 3 1 - i- .r, t The Moncure Home Burned.
