"Tax Assessments in Wake County In creased $2,213,000. The Wake County Board of "Equalization" which has been work ing on the tax increase has finished ats work of several weeks by mak ing a general increase of 10 per cent in the tax assessments in five town ships of Barton's Creek, Cedar Fork, St. Mary's, Wake Forest, and White 'Oak, and then adopting a general in crease of 5 per cent to apply to all 'the townships in the county. The re sult of this manipulation of the as tsessments is that the taxable values rin -the county get an increase of $2, 312,000. :And even after increasing the tax able -value of the property in the cotiTity over two million dollars, the county authorities have failed to re duce t"he tax rate. This great in crease is "adding insult to injury." KALKIGII ENGINEER IS KILLED. plr. Dan Hicks ami His Colored Fire arsen Killed in a Wreck Near Pet veisbug Monday.

Two Girt From Vhin1oa If are Kxcitlnz Etprrietiee la FUJelfft Taken to Reacoe Ifotae. Two girls from "Washington who were being taken to riicce homes ar rived in Raleich Friday, and tried to escape from their, resetter while here. A reporter of the News and Observer gives the following account of their escape in this city: "Having given their custodian. j Captain Gossett, of the New Bern j Salvation Army Post, the slip, Chris- tobel Daniels and Mrs. Ada Dawson. ! two girls from Washington. N.

"When they had been lodged In the station-house, the girls were seen by newspaper men and told their side of the story. They said they both lived in Washington, N. C, and the Dawson girl said she was born in Indiana, but was raised in this State, and about four months ago married one Will Dawson. , She said he would not take care of her and they parted. On Friday it seems they were per suaded to go to rescue homes. The young women themselves stated that they were told that they would both be taken to Greenville and allowed to remain together, but that when they got nearly to Raleigh the Salva tion Army man told them he was go ing to take one to Birmingham, Ala., and the other to Greenville. It was then that they bolted and declared that they would not be separated. They said the Salvation Army man then told them that If they refused to go he would turn them over to the authorities when they go to Ra leigh and have them Indicted for vag rancy. "Reaching the union station at Ra leigh Friday night, the girls said that they went to the ladies' retiring room while Captain Gossett was on the outside talking to some boys. "One of the girls stated that while in the retiring room she wrote the following note and threw it out the window: " Whoever finds this note will please send it to 23 4 East Fourth Street, Washington, N. C Attached to this, she said, was the following note to her mother: " 'Dear Mamma: They are In tending to send me to "Birmingham instead of Greenville, as they told you. Am in bad hands. Send for me.' "According to the tale told by the girls, some one found the note and wrote a reply, stating that they would give her railroad fare back home. What Salvation Army Man Said. "When seen at the union station Saturday afternoon, Captain Gossett, of the New Bern Salvation Army Post, stated that the two girls were being detained by the Washington of ficers on the charge of disorderly conduct. He made arrangements to have them released if they would consent to go to rescue homes, and started 'out with them Friday after-! Carolina Berkshire Association, Du noon.

John Hatcher Says That Mr. J. H. Council and Son Beat Him and Then Shot Him in the Back. John Hatcher, colored, came into Raloigh Sunday and re-quested a po liceman to take him where he could receive medical aid. The negro was bleeding from two gashes in his head and from a shot wound in his back. He was carried to the hospital for treatment. He said that J. H. Council and his son, Swaney Council, farmers near Raleigh, met him in the road and beat him up and then shot him as he ran because he had stayed cut longer than they thought he ought to with their horse and buggy in making a trip to Raleigh. He says the father covered him with his gun while the son knocked him out of the buggy and beat him, and finally the son took the gun from the old man and struck him tevice over the head with the butt oMt be fore shooting him. Hatcher's wounds are serious, but not considered dan gerous. He had been working for the Councils for a month. The Councils claim that the negro had stolen the horse.

Mc Cullers stated that It was his opinion that Columbus Rowe, a convict at Camp No. 3, was allowed to die for lack of proper attention. In fact, the patient was nearly dead before any medical attention was given him. County Convicts Worked Only One Day Out of Fourteen. Raleigh Times. Fuquay Springs is a mighty pleas ant place for anybody to spend a few days, and we suppose that even the convict force is enjoying its stay there. But we wonder what the tax payers of the county think of the camp spending fourteen days there and working only one day. A Guitar in His Gead. From the Columbia (S. C.) State. One of the negroes now serving a sentence on the public roads of Rich mond County was drinking out of his hat the other day, and the guard ask edh im why he did not use the dipper.
