Monroe Writer Complains ol High
Taxes.
The following article, dated
Mouroe, August 20, appeared in
the last issue of the Biblical Ke
corder of Kaleigh:
Mr. Flitor: I have read with
much interest your editorial entitl
ed Taxation in North Carolina. It
a well-written, timely article,
and should receive the carclul
tiemsal of every tax-payer of the
Old North Stale. It would lie well
for every newspaper in the State
to copy it.
ion say the tax rate In ortn
'aroliua towns is between 2 and
40 per cent, and you say of
course no one pays it. While the
umjoi ity of people may not, there
certainly are some, who, in the
lungnage of tho Scripture " ill
swear to their own hurt, unit
hange not" some who will neith
er "I'.vaite laws nor swear to lies.
I'imiu this class the burden of tax
ation falls heavily und it is most
grevions upon widows and orph
ans, w hose solo income is derived
from taxable property aud solvent
credits.
In your town, Huleigh, the tax
rate is 2.40. Iu my town, Monroe,
it is 2.30. I hiii personally ac
qtiaintcd with a widow In my town
who has a large family dependent
on tier, and wnose income is uu-
rived wholly from taxable property
and solvent credits, who has for
several years beeu paying this
exorbitant tax. She puts into the
treasury every year enough to
keep two children oil at college.
Now most people will admit that
this is exorbitant, aud yet, where
is the remedy T
It seems to me that the legi
slature should abolish the tux on
solvent credits, and if as few list
these rredi's, as you seem to Umik,
the revenue from taxation would
not tie materially decreased. This
should be done, or the tax rate
should be lowered to the point that
shall uot "make lor perjury." 1
dare say you voice tho sentiments
of the people of the State wiieu

The superintendent of the Sec-
Kiard Air Line railroad was seen
this morning in regard to Condiic
tor Line s conduct ut lin ker, da.,
when u passenger was thrown off
of train No. .'is. He says that the
conductor did all in his power, by
giving orders at the next station
that the man should be attended
to, but was right in not going back
for the wounded man because the
train was running on schedule
inie, and was followed by a
freight. If he had gone back it
would have endangered the lives
of ull ou hoard. If Conductor
Line huddtccu notified at the time
of t ne accident ho could have stop
ped his train and picked up the
man. But he kuew nothing of the
affair until he hud gone a full half
mile.
Mr. Line has had a splendid
record w ith the Soalioard, and he
is looked upon as a very competent
and reliable man.
