i' ... - Raleigh, February 21. -With only

The Important Revenue Bill and Ma

T ' Cliairman Doughton,' of the House
- Committee, which has the initial work j
.' . of framing the most important meas
' , ure of all legislatures (and this year
more important than ever, in that the
Stated income roust toe increased to a
' large extent in 'order, to avoid the
. troublesome deficit which faced the
-"-. committee this time because of the
falling off of revenue, largely because
' of the loss of the liquor tax), has just
' reported the Revenue Bill ' to the
House, the companion piece, the Ma
ehinery Act, to follow. - "
These measures always ' consume
. '' more time tt both branches than any
other bill that comes before it and
' therefore much of the balance of the
session will necessarily be. devoted to
it.
. Chairman Douehton states that it
is designed to melt the increased re
. quirement of the State in the matter
of revenue income. Therefore the rate
of taxation on many things will be in
creased, -while 'Others not, now taxed
at all have been incorporated in the
newtoill.
i . Among some of the mere': notable
changes is that made with reference
xr to the inheritance tax, where provia
' " ion is made for the collection of this
whenever an estate is , to toe divided
among legatees, devisees or tieirs at
'r law, without the qualification or ap
'' pointment of a representative. Clerks
. of the court are empowered to require
- these to report to them under oath
the value of such property and the
elerks are required to report to the
-i Corporation Commission. An addition
of one-half of one per cent, (makrng
it three per cent.) is made to the tax
' . on the gross income of express eom-
panies. These are given only to illus
trate, the scores of changes made by
the qew bill. Of course, all bills must,
nnder the constitution, originate in
the House. But while that is true,
. ' the present measure is the product of
, the labors of hhe joint finance com'
mi t tees of the two bouses and there-
tfore it is les likely to toe materially

Nagel has made a formal announce
ment of the appointment of Mr. Ralph
flUtton Udell, of this city, as special
ageut of the United States to study
nie markets for cotton goods. In the
issue of February 13 The Tribune an

gratified that this pouplar and caps
ule young man would receive such a
high office from the government, and

cipient of conntless expressions of
congratulations and good wishes, and
friends are more than pleased over the
announcement that he has been for
mallv appointed.
On every hand with those familiar
with the peculiar fitness and abilitj
of Mr. Odell have been heard the
expressions of confidence that he
would fill the position with credit and
distinction to himself and to the gov
ernment. In a letter to Secretary
Magal President Few, of Tnnitv Col

in an hono rgraduate, stated that no
young man in North Carolina was bet
ter-fitted for-such a position than Mr.
Well. Endorsements of such charac

- ' HOG CHOLERA HERE. ,
Several Cases Reported Let tke
Strictest Precaution be Taken U
Prevent Its Spread. ; ; '
Several' eases itf cholera amonc
hogs have been reported recently but
as yet there nas been no epidemic oi
this disease and if the proper precau
tion is now taken tins can be avoided.
Lat year the Owners of hogs in and
around Concord lost bandreds of dol
lars from the a epidemic of this dis
ease and to preveni a repetition of
such a thing this warning ia riven.
The city charter eives the sanitarr
officer jurisdiction for -one mile from
the rity limits and the ordinance is
now in force requiring that all owners
of hogs i hat de of cholera .' remove
them one mile from the city limits and
bury them. If the citizens of the eitv
will aid the sanitary officer in comply
ing with this ordinance and remember
that "a stitch -in time," this disease
is not likely to spread.
Tremendous pressure is. being
brought on President Taft to prevent
him from calling an extra session If
the chief executive calls an extra ses
sion it will be i,n the face of the
strongest kind-of protests from repub
lican leaders. Hundreds of telegrams
from republican leaders in all sections
of the country are arriving daily at
the white house protesting against an
extra session. , . -

Drunken Man Badly Frightens a Lady
' , ! and Her Small Children.
A drunken, man went to the home of
Mr. J. E. Henry, who lives on Vance
street, about 9:30 o'clock last night
and badly frightened Mrs. Henry and
little children. Mr. Henry works at
night in the Locke . Mill, and was
therefore not at home. The man tried
to knock down the door, and walked
up and down the porch ffor about an
hour cursing and swearing he would
come in. After some time Mrs. Henry
went over to the Jiomo of her brother-
in-law, Mr. Aubrey Henry, nearby, and
got him to go to the mill for Mr.
Henry. When the Matter came the
man was gone. He went over to the
home of Mr.'C. A, Suther and also
raised a disturbance there,
Mrs. Henry had no one in the house
except her small children, the oldest
of whom is 13 years old. Of course
she and the children were much fright
ened. The man was probably so drunk
that he did not realize what he wai
doing. ' ' 1
The infant of Mr. and Mrs. I W.
Criawell died last night at their home
at the Brown mill. The interment was
made this afternoon.
