Tax dodging seem to be so pre valent that the scoundrels that escape their crvic duty have be come a matter of nation-wide rec ognition, a recognition that is cred itable to no locally, and we say it because Edgecombe abounds in that gentry. Here is the census Bureau ask iug the papers to publish thai any information given a eeusus enum. erator will cot be used so that the state or county can get at them for taxation legal or entanglements. In other words tell the truth to the census man. no matter ho-v much you may lie about your tax e?, even tnougn you are nnuer - oath about the la-t and not for the other. We are not criticizing the wis dom of the census people, but we do most emphatically call atten tion to the "deep damnation ot their taking off' by the Census Eurean and in doing so to the shame of the people, not the Bu reau. Charles Redmond, who sells li qaor n egaiiv loi a living. wa a gentleman compared with the man who deliberately made a false re turn under oath to save some dol lars. It is a damned shamed that public sentiment permits such a condition RECORD QUIET POLITICS. The Democratic state convention is net more than four mouths hence and this of course makes the county convention near, yet there is barelv a political ripple. Local ly there is none. is. (j. AJlsbrook isa cancinate for Solistor of this the Fonrth Jud icial district, but even this is caus icg but little talk. because it is con fidently expected that he will have his county solid for him. Here and theie there mav 1 a discordant voice, but it only go to prove the rule that there always some men devoid of county pride. Are there any candidates for the county and legislative offices other than the present incumbents! If so they should speak out. A tenure in office in Edgecombe depends upon the satisfactory ser vice that the offieia's render. Have we had tint! The prolon. ed silence to the contrary would stam But the nominations arc not yet made. If any one wishes te seek political honors the held is open to him. though it is high time he wns speaking oat ABOLT THE P0ORHDLSE. The report of the grand iury if carried out as it should be means a permaeiicy that can not kver be over looked. It meaos s much that its eiT ct. assuming the recom ea lations are carried out. that for a very lo time, if not for ever, the eounty Home is to be located many miies from the county seat. The prime idea or concern of our good people is to serve them on whom the heavy hana of adversitv has been laid whether by accident, age or improvidence. Since 1S1. when this editor took charge the God ot Mercy. Charity has m-vtd the author iti s to make our county home a plce of rest and not pf punishment, a place where the on fortunate were taken, but where they were welcomed by Messrs Dug gan. Sug. Edwards and Grannm But the eounry must and will have to do for them, the age i acd in firm. With the increase in popa a-, tion it will a'.so have to make the place a reformatory for the youag. The Southerner respectfully sub mits that this Home is now located not only too far from the county seat, whence all orders emanate, but too far from the center of the county, which also means an extra expense. So before making these perman ent improvements it is well to in quire if the Home should be moved nearer the county seat and county center. A TAXATION SCHEME. It is aa admitted fact that land and personalty are valued far less I than their rir-ai worth, because each county does not desire to contri bute to the state maintenance more than a sister county, if so much. tax dodtting having reached thus; far. As a reused v for this modesty on the part of the counties we hope ! the uext General Assembly wili ar , Bdator Soithemer: ( range for the state revenue from! lis tlrough the Soatierner as what is called the uuiisted taxes, mu -1 c'Jr worJs the licenses, etc. and leave to thecoun i g ' piJ?!e secU3n ad Urwn , . ,if)r their ihtugh'ful mint strut .ons ties the aeraent and taxauon of j tiBdll5S8 d,rm, our fitier s Ui- the real and persona! property. ne,. our b.ravement their The returns from the unlisted or thoj h-JaIn-:ss-and a'tention alleviate license taxes will snpp-'rr the State, 111 ? r BTft God will bless or can be made to do so. ihe coun theE- We do- moch ia we ca- G.

For when it is merely a county proposition it will seen that there Is less dodging , mT With such a system Ldgdcomce county, and -re say it not boas tine , lv. would cnt her tar rate in two. t J With such a svsteni a $200 mule would not be permitted to go on the tax list as worth $30. With such a system land that would at tee first but sen tor vu an acre would not be assessed at 94.00 or 5.00 per acre. The nearer the burdea rtst the more closely will be the rircutu pectioD.
