L,mney also We are sure that most of the Stan ly county tax payers will read with interest the following, written from Raleigh the 16th, to the Greensboro Daily News, by Tom Bost: . Revaluation received a jolt today at the meeting of the state equaliza tion board, and 30 days will pass be fore action is taken on horizontal re ductions and revaluations already re ported to the state board. The next-toers who had tipped off the pagans from the most sanctified spots in the holy places, are not dis mayed by the bad guesses. Ordinary folks do not pretend to know what is going to be done with the conspi cuously decent and courageous piece of tax legislaion which the revalua tion act was designed to be. The chronicler, who is not a next-toer, had to use his noodle. And it has been as difficult to comprehend how any state organization can repudiate revalua tion, which was so handsomely ratifi ed by the 1920 vote, as it is to under stand why prohibition isn't prohibit ing the prohibitionists. But the board did not act today, and those who have been guessing and tel ling others to guess that revaluation will be junked, have a right to guess 30 days more. Nevertheless, the migh ty kickers who used their copper-toed tootsies on the general assembly have gone to work and work, even as love, cures all things. Only 44 counties in the state asked for any relief at all. Some of these desired only ten per cent, an done went to 60 per cent re duction in farm lands. And undoubt edly some of these couties are asham ed of what they have done. Carteret has asked to reconsider, and in the letter which commissioner A. D. Watts today sends to the registers of deeds in the 100 counties, there is a sugges tion that "others may wish to" recon sider their course. The colonel is giving all a chance to repent. An Unsuccessful Fight. With the swing away from the radi cal and indefensible cuts in county values attempted by enemies of re valuation, there is no guessing how near to standing pat the equalization board may be. There are country of ficials in the state right now who say that the values of May, 1919, are not high enough. The very fact that over half the counties asked for no relief at all shows that they are con scious of exemptions from taxation long in years and in favoritism. Some of them are paying this year these ex cesses as a sort of revaluation because the principle of the law was right and in half the state the values were just Forty per cent of the voting popula tion has been exempted by a large household allowance, and it i3 recall ed now that the rankest anti-revalu-ationists were those who asked the amendment of the law whereby the state return to the $25 exemption in Hue of $300. The thing that has balked the repudi ation of revaluation so long is the schools. Nobody has risen to ex plain how a county which cuts its real estate down half can meet its school or is institutional needs. Horizontal reduction might reduce taxes on real ty, but they would not raise revenue sufficient to run. And the attorney general long has held that the state must maintain the six months school term. Whenever the individual coun ties undertake to get six months of school without paying for it, the state will buck. And if anybody gets frightened and starts any trouble, he will have to push it to its logical conclusion and amend the state con stitution by repealing the six months school amendment And about that time the cloven hoof of the kicker will be exposed and he will be no more. That is exactly the trouble with the repudiation of the revaluation law. One must declare honest valuations wrong and mendacity the wear. That's what it had been until the year 1919. A Young People's Epworth League has recently been organized at First Street Methodist Church with Paul Cranford as president The mem bership is growing and they are en thusiastic over the organization and its work. The closing exercises at the Albe marle Normal have always in the past drawn large crowds, but those which have been g'iven so far during the present commencement program have possibly been more largely attended han any in years past. The class : day exercises which . were held Wed nesday afternoon were well attended and were of unusual merit. The pro- ! gram was carried out successfully, I beginning at four o'clock. At 8:30 o'clock Wednesday even ing was given the Musical Recital by the members of the music classes, un der the direction of Miss Mary Mc Donald, piano teacher, and Mrs. Wyche, teacher of violin. The pro gram was rather a long one, the clas ses this year having been unusually large. The time required to carry out the program was an hour and fif- teen minutes, and the following is a reproduction of the entire program. Chorus, Welcome Pretty Primrose, Pinsuti, Class.

'Wilson Superior court convened here today for a two weeks' term criminal and civil with Judge T. H. Calvert, of Raleigh, on the bench. There are 28 prisoners in jail and 163 cases on the docket, many of which are for violation of the prohibition law. One murder case and perhaps two will be tried during the week Ben Reed, the negro who killed his wife on May 1 and attemp ted suicide having been taken from a local hospital and lodged behind jail bars last Friday. If his condition is such as to permit it, he will be tried at this term. Rochester, Minn., May 18. Frank lin K. Lane, former secretary of the interior, died at a local hospital here early this morning. Death was due to an attack of angene pectoris. Mr. Lane was operated on here on May 6 for gall stones and appendi citis, and was said to be recovering when heart disease, from which he had suffered from time totime, dur ing the past eight months developed. Hospital physicians expressed the belief that the operation would re move the heart affection, but an at tack early today developed fatally. Immediately after he had recovered from the influences of the anaetthetic, Mr. Lane said: "I am surprised to be alive. I hope to be able to live a long life doing good things forever." Following his resignation from the Wilson cabinet Mr. Lane sought to recover his health and came here in January of the year. He was advised to spend the winter in a warmer cli mate and visited in California, re turning early this month. His con dition was favorable for an operation and continued improvement was noted until the heart attack was developed this morning. Mrs. Lane and George A. Lane, a brother, were called to the former secretary's bedside shortly before 5 a. m. today, and were with him when he died. Last night it was thought Mr. Lane was much improved. His bro ther spent several hours with him and when he left Mr. Lane said: See you in the morning." George W. Lane said this morning '.hat his brother left "no estate whatsoever."

And in each instance it was found that the original number had been removed. A very quiet but pretty wedding took place last Tuesday evening at six o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Reap, of Aquadale, when their daughter .Miss Nola, became the bride of Luther Morgan, of Stanfield. Rev. McKinney, pastor of the bride, officiated, using the impressive ring ceremony.
