FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1897. WHO A UK IN FAVOK or i.ocai. TAXATION ? The editors are. They are work ing and writing. Some few of them are opposed, but the large majority are lined up in solid phalanx. The teachers are. They know the needs of the people. Many of them are at work. Their Assembly at Morehead took a brave stand. The preachers are. They, too, know the mental needs of the peo ple, as well as the spiritual. Hut you want to know if the business men and political men are in favor of 'he plan? They are men of sense, and they know the feeling of the people. We are glad to give you the following list of the most prominent political leaders of all parties and business men in North Carolina. Read what they say : Mr. J. A. Brown, ex Slate Sena tor from Columbus, writes: "I think we will have no trouble in carrying this (Chadburn) town ship 'for schools' at the August joth election." Dr. J. J. Mott, of Iredell: "I am very much opposed to increasing the taxes in the present condition of business affairs, but I would support this tax because it gives the townships away from the town centre an equal chance tor educa tion. The back country townships must be kept equally intelligent with those around the towns, if a generally existing independent manhood is the best thing for the country, and I believe it is." lion. W. D. I'ruden.of Edenton: ''I have since I was a man voted for every special tax for schools and expect to vote for this. The little good, which the efforts seem to do those who get the lion's share of the appropriation for schools in the East, sometimes greatly shakes my faith and tem pers my zeal. Nevertheless, I be lieve the people should be edu cated and this seems the only practical way." Dr. Ii. F. Dixon, of Cleveland: "The education of the common people must be the special enthu siasm of this day." Hon. C. li. Aycock, of Wayne: "I am fully impressed with the im portance of a more general educa tion of the people of North Caro lina, and shall be glad in any way to co operate with your committee in securing this most desirable re sult by the only practical method, to-wit : that of local taxation." Mr. 1). A. Tompkins, of Char lotte: "I will be glad to co-operate with you in attempting to cany out your purposes." State Senator George E. Butler: "You have my sympathy as you know and will have my fullest support." Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard: "My time is very much occupied, but I will gladly render any assistance in my power." State Senator M. H. Justice, of Rutherford: "I am in sympathy with the public school movement and especially the local taxation idea. I am ready to render all the aid I can." Prof. I). Matt. Thompson, of Statesville: "I stand ready to do anything I can to push along the cause." Hon. Z. V. Walser, of Davidson: "In my judgment it is the greatest piece of legislation put upon the statute books in the present cen tury, believing as I verily do that the hope of our beloved State lies in its success. Hon. R. M. Furman, of Bun combe: "The proposed scheme, in volved in the August election, is not only a step in the tight direc tion, but may lead up to the idea I suggest (a plan for raising all school funds by a local tax). I will be pleased to co-operate in any way I can." Senator White, of Alamance: "I feel Jure the law will be accepted in many of the townships of the State. I would not be surprised if the majority of the townships ot the State should vote for taxation. You may be sure of my hearty co operation." J. B. hitaker, Jr., editor Win ston Sentinel: "It will afford mr pleasure to give my influence and efforts towards promoting the cause." R. R. Clark, editor Statesville Landmak: "I will do what I can for the cause through the Landmark and otherwise." Hon. Fabius H. Busbee, of Ral eigh: "The admirable results of building up the public schools by local taxation, as seen by the many excellent graded schools in the cities and towns, should seivc as an object lesson to the people jn the country townships, and make the tax payers consent to bear a moderate burden of taxa tion in the interest of the chil dren." Mr. J. Van Lindley, of Guilford county: "I think it a wise step that you are making and one that I have always been interested in and will do all that I can to carry our township." Hon. Francis D. Winston, of Bertie: "The character of the men who will administer the school af fairs of this county does not invite a very hearty co-operation of the citizens in the matter of increas ing taxes for school purposes. However, the duty imposed on me by the committee is so. much in harmony with my personal opin ions and feeling, I shall permit the use of my name. I bg to assure you of my sympathy." Among others who have written letters signifying their sympathy with the cause are Col. Julian S. Carr, of Durham; Wiii X. Coley, editor of the Davie Times; W. A. Blair, Vice President People's Na tional Bank, of Winston; Claudius Dockery, of Rockingham; Hon. Thos. W. Mason, of Northampton; John Brady, of Gates; Dr. Richard II. Lewis, of Raleigh; Prof. J. H. II ill, of Statesville; C. C. Wright; of Wilkes county; E. G. Butler, of Vance; State Auditor Hal. W. Ayer, of Wake; J. B. Sparger, of Mt. Airy; A. C. Mcintosh, of Tay lorsville; Charles M. Staley, of Staley; Rev. T. N. Ivey, editor Christian Advocate; Prof. J. J. Britt, of Mitchell; Rev. E. A. Yates, I). D., of Durham; Col. Thos. B. Long, of Buncombe; Representa tive James II. Cathey, of Swain; Andrew D. Cowles, of Statesville; J. R. Rod a ell, of Warrenton; W. C. Hammer, of Asheboro; V. S. Lusk, of Asheville; II. L. Grant, of Goldsboro; C. C. Wright, of Straw; B. S. Robertson, of Haw River; R. B. Lineberry, of Pitts boro; W. E. Harris, of Northamp ton county; J. II. Kerr, of Warren. You say you cannot pay any more taxes and support your family and educate them. Granted. But suppose the money you pay as local school tax goes twice as far as it would in any other way in educating your children. Sup pose a man has 5,ooo taxable property and five children of school age, his tax would be 5.30, and it has been shown in another column that by voting for the tax he could send his five children to school for about three months. He could not possibly send them to a private school for that period for less than But some man says: " I am worth that much property but I have no children." Then you can better afford to pay it than the man who has. Voter. The action of North Carolina's railway commission in raising the taxable valuation of railroads and requiring telegraph companies to send messages at a reduced rate will undoubtedly be applauded by the people of the State. Even as it now stands, North Carolina, with more miles of railway, will get less than half the amount of taxes Virginia will get from her railroads. The New Orleans Tinas-Democrat gives this object ksson: Salary of President of Western Union, ioc,ooo Salary of President of United States, 50,000 Salary of Governor State of New York 12,000 Salary of Governor State of Louisiana, 4,000 Salary of Western Union operator 540 A prominent gentleman, who was in Washington on the last day of the session of Congress, in a private letter says: "McKinley's monetary message was a fitting finale to the session. It discred ited his tariff relief measure Think of a President sending a a message purely and simply as a measure of escape from his many fair promises." "The gold democracy," declares the New York Times, "has a future." This may be true, but the gentlemen who figure as its promoters are more interested in securing for it a working capital. Washin'ton Tost. Something to Oepenri o. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & Son.

I.V.T I'M CONSULT TOGETIIEK. The following table shows the taxable property and number of polls in the different townships or school districts in McDowell county, N. C, for the year 1897 : Taxable iMstricts. I'roptrty. Polls. Marion, 353. 524 4 North Cove, 98,154 54 Finley's, 55.32 I29 Dysartsville, 60,787 149 Bracketts, 14.94' 45 Montford's Cove, 63.424 138 Crooked Creek, 40,330 143 Broad River, 25,788 123 Old Fort, 150.938 206 Iliggins', 3.45 67 The taxable property belonging to the different railroads, tele graph lines, ice, passing through the county, is not included in the above table. It amounts to $387, 263 57, which would yield a tax of $387.26, which, it is supposed, would be distributed among the different districts. A local tax of 10 cents on the hundred dollars, and 30 cents on each poll would raise for Marion District, $473 52 North Cove, 1 44.35 Finley's, 93.73 Dysartsville, 105.48 Brackett's, 28.84 Montford's Cove, 104.82 Crooked Creek, 83.23 Broad River, 62.68 Old Fort, 212.73 Higgins", 52.14 Each voter can calculate from the above table how much addi tional tax he would have to pay. He can also estimate how much the school term of each school in his district will be lengthened by considering that under the re districting of the schools from one fourth to a third of the old schools will be thrown out and just to that extent will the amount going to each new school district be in creased, and its school term pro longed accordingly. Then sup pose the township votes for the above tax and the State duplicates the amount so voted, some idea can be formed of the effect on the school term. It is generally sup posed that instead of the schools being run for only three months as formerly, they can hereafter be kept up for six months. The tax derived from railroads, &c, referred to above, would more than make up for any failure to collect the poll or other tax. Citizen. NEWS OF TIIK DAY.

THE FLNE BILTMORE DAIRY. Jt rwy Lilies of the Ireful Kind-ltepre-M-iilHllvr of the OuMen Family, 'With IVdigreen as Long a that of a Daughter of the devolution. Asheville Citizen, July 23rd. The importation of j.nze win ning dairy c.ittle froi.i Jr rr-ey the little island so near France that Knglaud owns by George V. Yanderbilt, brings to the Biltmore herd the possession of ideal ani mals that show points of surpass ing excellence, and fastens the in terest of all the notable stoek breeders of the country upon an other of the marry sources of agri cultural fancy and treasure to be found in Buncombe. These Jerseys left quarantine ir: New York, after three months of deteution there, at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning aud arrived on the estate on Wednesday evening at , a quick ran that put the ar rivals through in good shape. At Swannanoa tunnel their number was increased by the arrival of a baby calf, which Superintendent G. F. YVestou says will doubtless go on the herd book as "Swanna noa." The iufaut occupies a pen opposite its mother's stall where, when not chasing flies from its muzzle with both hind feet, it, sprawls aud tumbles in best calf iasiiiou. Selection of the importation was made from the herds of breeders on the island by F. S. Peer, of Mt. Morris, N. Y., who, as Mr. Vander bilt's special asreut. had a commis sion to procure the best animals to ue nan, regardless ot price, luo cows brought over are regarded as the best living representatives of the lamous (iolden Lad, who has tor years sired all the prize win neis of uote in the islaud and in England. All are branded with the islaud mark, and all bear im press of the American Jersey C-it-tle Club, placed ou their horns on arrival in New York. The purpose of the importation is to have the superior excellence of the Golden Lad strain in at tempts at breeding Atueiicau Jer seys back to the true type. The new comers are quartered in the recent annex to the dairy barn, aud had settled into docile occupancy of the stalls as early as yesterday, when their tine poiuts were discussed and admired by numerous callers and critics among the farm experts and visitors. A prize male was secured in Golden Blaze, a two years old, of light fawn color and dark poiuts. He is out of the champion cow of the island of Jersey, a daughter of Golden Lad and also by a sou of the same bull on the sire's side. The other bull is called Goldeu Love, from True Love, also a prize cow, who died on the trip over. The list of the wide laced, big eyed beauties, besides the bulls, includes Golden Tricolor, Lucern II., Kolapore, Damask Rose, Ma bel 37th, Oruameut II., Garland, Loulu, La Chass Flirt, Ilarrowgate 12th, Bluebelle, and three unnamed calves, one born in quarantine two months ago that shows the mak ing of a high scoiing cow. There are now, in over 300 cows composing the Biltmore herd, 130 animals in full milk and 100 full bred calves. The youngest are kept iu classes by feeding periods in the grass lots surrounding the dairy barn, and with suftieient age are sent to the outstanding pasture farms. The cows are fed on the summer ration of from six to eight pounds of grain, with millet in the stalk giveu morning and night and the run of the pastures during the in tervals of barn feeding. Superintendent Weston speaks with pride of the growth ot the Biltmore dairy, aud says its de velopment has expanded with the Asheville demand for high grade products. Purity is the prime esseulial that goverus in the dairy pro cesses, aud absolute cleanliness is attaiued by the constant super vision of Dairyman F. Meacham, an A. & M. graduate, and his ex perienced assistants iu all depart ments of the business, who care fully inspect each detail, beginning with the food ami drink supplied to the cows, and continuing through the varied manipulations until the labeled bottles of milk and cream and the printsof golden butter are sealed for delivery to customers. The bottles and other vessels utilized iu the dairy, after thor ough washing, are" sterilized in iron chambers by the application of live steam, turned on lor 30 minutes to prevent the germs of fermentation and to render impos sible the spread of any germs of contagion. Pasteurizing the milk is accom plished in special tanks, provided with inner chambers into which the milk is poured and then con stantly stirred while steam in the outer cylinders is maintained for half an hour. The albuminoids are in no way affected by this heat as they would be at a higher tem perature used in sterilizing milk. This process begins at the dairy each day at 4 o'clock, immediately succeeding the afternoon milking. All the milk sent out from the Biltmore dairy is thus treated The management meets the popu lar requirement in delivery by bot tling, largely, aud each bottle is labeled with the estate guarantee of two days freshness Tests made in the dairy have shown the milk to be sweet after being put up 10 days. Four hundred gallonsof milk are handled daily in the dairy. Two De Laval separators spurt with cream, and brrrel chums of 73 pound capacity, are required iu the butter making. The machinery is operated by power furnished from a treadmill run by young hulls. The system of dairy effort de scribed has prevailed on theesta'e since the early fall of 1S0G. No stock is purcha-d at Bilt more until after satisfactory tuber culin testing aud when admittance to the herd has been gained the ' health of each individual is con served with scrupulous fidelity. Siuce the first of the year the resident veterinarian of the estate has been Dr. A. S Wheeler, B. A., who prior to his acceptance of the Biltmore position was veteriuary inspector lor the Board of Health of the city of New Orleans Dr. Wheeler, since eomplet ing a tuberculin testing of the en tire herd makes daily inspection of the animals; he has found as yet no tuberculosis existing, and believes that North Caiolin.i is comparatively free from the dis ease. No milk is permitted to h ave the dairy except from tuberculin tested cows The estate his advices from Kugland ot the shipment of an oidi r lor Jnsey swine and South down sheep STATE SKrlS."

An inquest was begun yesterday on the death of Mrs. Minnie L. Cocke, the wife of ex-Mayor Wil liam J. Cocke, which occurred on Monday as the result of a self in flicted wound. The inquest was ordered by G.V. Reed, the coro ner, to set at rest various rumors that had gained circulation. It is needless to say that the investiga tion yesterday revealed no facts that were not known to the physi cians called in immediately after Mrs. Cocke's death. The body was exhumed at Riverside cemetery and a careful examination made of the tatal wound. The ball entered above the left ear, where the hair was singed ard the flesh burned, and passed almost directly through the head to the right temple, where it lodged. After the exami nation the body was re interred. Testimony will be heard in the in quest at 9 o'clock to-morrow morn ing. Mr. Cocke and his friends desire, in view of the sensational gossip that has been set afloat, that the investigation should be made as complete as possible. After a thorough investigation, which was concluded on Monday, the coroner's jury decided that Mrs. Cocke came to her death by her own hand. Herald. Blue White Print. Paper coated with an emulsion, which when printed and toued gives a clear white with a bluish tint in the high lights, may be bought of dealers in pho tographic materials. The paper is marked "Pense," which is a mistake, as the correct spelling is "pensee." This blue tone may be obtained on aris to paper by toning the prints iu a sepa rate buth and putting a few drops of aniline blue in tho fixing bath. Have the tint rather deep, and when the prints are fixed tho whites and high lights will have, a clear blue tone. If tho picture is a landscape with plenty of clouds in tho sky the effect is almost as if the fiky had been tinted. Many spots both on prints and nega tives are due to the dishes used not hav ing been properly cleansed. Tho trays should bo wiped out with a very soft cloth or sponge, and once in a while washed with a little alcohol. A set of labels printed with the names of the different chemicals com monly in use. in the dark room may bo had for 10 tents. They come already gummed and are a great convenience. a convenient little plate lifter is called the "L. " It is a tiny contrivance which fits on tho side of tho tray and saves all danger cf scratching tho plato in removing it from the tray, and there is no need of putting tho fingers into any of the solutions if the "L" is used. With this lifter, instead cf rocking the tray during development, tho plato is rocked with the lifter. Harper's Bound Table. HOW TO FIND OUT.

The re ports ol coi respondents in the east ern districts are very favorable. Showers occulted throughout the week, ami the ground is thoi oughly soaked. Some excessive rains occurred, washing land, and there was too much rains lor low lauds, but the damage is iusigniti cant. The temperature was about uormal, with less than the usual amount of sunshine. Crops are doing very well indeed. Cotton improved rapidly; continues to bloom nicely, aud, though uot as largo as last year, will have more bolls; it is holding its fruit well as yet ; some fields are getting grassy. Corn planted in May on lowlands is very promising. The rains came too late for a good deal of corn which was damaged by previous drought. Tobacco good; cutting and curing progressing finely, with fair results. More peas were plant ed for forage and renovating land than usual. Digging sweet pota toes for market begun ; crop fine. Gardens improviug. Central District. Showers occurred on almost every day this week ; ground is too wet to plow in many sections and farm work is hindered. Lowlands are standing iu water, with some damage to crops. Local heavy rains and wind storms did some damage, chiefly by beating down corn in (iuilford county (Greensboro), Wake county (Auburn and ltaleigh), Wanen county (Embro), Franklin county (Laurel), Pearson eounty (Iiethel Hill), aud lowlands have been flooded, especially in Kiehmoiid county; but the aggregate injury to crops is not great, aud is fully balanced by the improvement n crops throughout the district. Cot ton is growiug fast; holding fruit well; laying by interrupted by wet weather and some fields be coming grassy. Upland corn made excellent growth; too much water for lowlands. Tobacco has im proved; leal line; more than two thirds topped; cutting and curing progressing slowly ; crop will be short ou account of diminished acreage. Meadows aud pastures fine. Preparing land for clover aud turnips, and seeding turnips begun. Western District. The rain fall was abundant and general this week, followed the latter part by fair weather. Some miuor damage was doue bv heavy rains washing land aud filling bottoms. In gen eral, correspondents report line growing weather and excellent progress iu the growth of crops. Corn growing rapidly; looks well; nearly all laid by; the crop is bet ter iu west portiou thau iu other portions of the State. Tobacco crop small, but doing well. Cotton could not do better. Wheat thresh ing coutiuues in extreme west, but will soon be over everywhere. Stubble land is being turned for another wheat crop, and field peas are still being planted. Grapes are ripening; good crop. Other fruit very short. A "Gritty" Family. The following marriage notice appeared in a Northern exchange: "Married at Flintstone, by Rev. Windstone, Mr. Nehemiah White stone, to Miss Wilhelmina Sand stone, both of Limestone." If there is anything in a name, there is too much "grit" in that family, and there is bound to be trouble around their hearthstone. They will have a stony road to travel, and before they pass many mile stones somebody is apt to need a tombstone.
