We made tbe point tbe corporation co.nmUsion lias not tbe power to originally assess prop erty tbe act creating the commission be ing very defective. ThU la one point Another and a very important one is tbe unequal asscasm-nt of property. The inequality is glaring. In many counties other properly is assesed at 40 per cent, less than lis full value, while railroad properly Is taxed UK) per cent. In many counties it is mora than 4') per cenl. less. The $:ttl0,00!) bond issue was carried in Greensboro without the leat trouble Only 712 votes were needed to carry It l.'p to (J: JO o'clock over KK) votes hail been cast for and one against the issue Tbe tinal vole was 8.VJ to 'J. Tbe bond issue will lie apportioned a follows: ((m.OOiI for sewerage; $7"i,000 for street repairing; $:n,00 for a ciu market and auditorium: 2.0H for an electric light plant; and $ 1 1)0,000 foi water works. These lioilds will commence to be is tied almost immediately. The general understanding la that the city aulhoii ties will confer with the electric llghi ami water works companies with a view to purchasing at a reasonable price; hut if tbe companies will not sell, then Ibe city will build Its own electric light plant and water works. Of Ibe bonds 973.000 will be devoted to improving tbe streets and $&i,000 lo erecting it insrkel bouse and an auditorium. Tbe balauce of the money is to lie used for purchas ing tut) electric lights and the water works and for the cilension of the city sewerage, Walter F. Neil says that in the county or He it land not at) persons wi.l vote agaiust Ibe franchise amendment, and that be is sure not half dozen wbile voles will be cast against It. Tbe ne groes, be declared, will take no part in politics. Their acknowledged leader says publicly that If they will devote their energies during Ibe next Dl yearn to tbe development of their moral and financial interests as completely as dnr ing the past UU jeam, they have devoted themselves to politics, they will work wonders. The visit of Entomologist Sanderson to various Fruit orchards, particular!) those In which there is any disease, will be productive of much good Fruit growers will lejru thai in order to secure crops tbey must treat their trees us care fully as grape vines are treated. An electric storm mid a things lively here Tuesday. A boll struck the la. lest spire in the city, lint of F. leiihm Street M. E. church, but did no damage. It distinctly seen as it struck. Another bolt struck the water In the hath houat at 1'ullen park and shocked a number ol bathers. The 1'rlmltlve Baptist church now in a couple of blocks of thecapltol, is belnp removed to a grove in Ibe eastern su burbs, very near the Soldiers' Horn A number of Italelgb capitalists went out today to look at the Falls of Neuse property. They will convert tbe paper mill there Into a cotton mill, with 10 000 spindles. The August number of (be Agricul tural Department's bulletin will have a pretty cover and will be In book form For two jeari tbe fuslonlsts got Ibe bulletin through the malls as a fulled States publication. Thla was a fraud, as It was entirely a State publication. Up lo that time It bad paid postage, Now il will pay postage again. The Progressive Farmer aays editorial It that while the It publlcau party will declare against the franchise amendment and the Democratic parly for It, the Populist party will leave tbe mailer lo be decided by the Individual voters. It la whispered that Dr. Cy. Thompson will be the Populist nominee for Governor next year. The Ladles' Confederate Memorial Association of Raleigh has deposited In the Stale Library from time to time the copy of all tbe addresses delivered here on memorial day, these addresses being sketches of Ibe life, character and ser. vices of North Carotins generals.

Tbe loss Is deeply regretted, as tbe addresses can never be replaced, nor tbe material in most cases secured The legislative joint committee on the Mlb Inst., will meet here and iuvesugale the penitentiary. It will look Into the b utality to convicts shown by a fusion officer on one of the farms on the Koa noke river. Tbe people here are greatly gratified al the high price 105 53 and InluieM obtained for I he $100,000 of city street Improvement bonds. There Is just cause for satisfaction. A negro of unsound mind was ordered Committed to the department of tbe criminal insane in ibe penitentiary. The commitment was wade out to the Warden of tbe penitentiary. It should have beet lo Dr.-K.Irky, twe-ssaperlalmaidewt Central Hospital here, who, by act of the Legislature, is placed in charge of the criminal insane. The commitment will be altered Very few negroes have left this part of North Carolina during the pa'ft twelve months. The exodus appears to lie al most entirely from the section east of Uoldsboro. It is said that the knitting mills here will lie enlarged and that machines for making fine goods will be added. The Slate charters the Wilson Oil Company, of Wilson; capital $at),000; J. Soles and others owners. It will make cotton oil. I!. P. Williamson has been elected presideut of the Standard Gas and Elec trie Company, of Kalcigh.

New Yottk, July III Algerian! is at lasl at an end Otllcial ostracism, aided by the sage advice of Vice President Ho hart, has finally brought about tbe re sult so urgently demanded by the coun try the resignation of Kussell A. Alger as Secretary of War. The resignation was not voluntary. Had it not been tendered, it certainly would have been requested. The climax in the career of General Alger as head of tlie War Department occurred al the White House shortly after noon today, when the President declined to longer carry tlie heavy load which the Secretary had become. Tbe Secretary suggested a means by which he could be Induced to remain in the t!ablnct. This suggestion was nothing more nor less than that tbe President should publicly announce his satisfaction wiih General Alger's conduct of the War Department, Thereupon General Alger lu formed the President that his resignation was al bis disposal and produced a formal letter of resignation, which he bad pre pared in anticipation of the President's declination lo comply with bis wishes, such resignation to take effect al the pleasure of the President. The formal exchange of letters which will terminate Secretary Alger's connec lion with Iho War Department will lie ciucluded wilb the President's accep- tence of the Secretary's leslgnallon These letters, like those which passed between tbe President anil former Sec retary of Stale Sherman, will lie friendly In lone and will give no Indication of .'eneral Alger's reason (or resigning and the President's reason for accepting the eslgnalion. To bis personal friends the Secretary expressed bitter regret al Iho treatment he has received There is no question that be is glad that be has tendered bis resignation and that he can now retire to private life lo obtain ibe rest be so greatly ne) Is.

Recalling his bold deed at Manila, the Neue Frele Presse sees In the Admiral the personification of daring coolness, and dwells on bis calmness and amiabil - liy, neaonoing nim as a mouei Soulier and gentleman Who will be placed in the category with V ifuyter, Nelson and TegetlhofT. 1 he Neue t rele Presse then says: 'The great welcome extended to Ad- ml raj Dewey It extended not only for the hero, but, above all, to the glorious re p resentativsof the great American nation klh A 1. 1. .11 I. onlil K.

Adjutant General Hoyaler was here on his way lo Camp William E Shipp to see the Second Regi ment under canvas. He Bald that In tlie fJl be would complete the Third Regi ment by add ng four companies. It now numliers only eight. 'Vhen asked If the trouble in regard to tbe Ashevllle com panies was adjusted, he replied that lie thought it would adjust itself. The following comraljalons were is sued to officers of the Third Regiment which goes into ramp near Morehend City next Saturday afternoon: B. C. Woodall, of Durham, adjutant Third Battalion: Thos H. Crudtip, of Klttrell, coiumlssionary; F. P. Wiggins, firsllieu teiiant, and K. C. Price, secoud lieuten ant, Company H, Warrenton. The quartermaster general has com pleted tbe equipment of the Third Regi ment. Col. Loge llanis has gone to Camp Shipp. Tlie Secretary of Stale is having pre pared, at the instance of Congressman W. T. Crawford certified copies of the election returns for each precinct in the ninth district at all the elections from 1M)2 lo 1M hoth inclusive. The Neuse River Manufacturing Com pany was chartered today, capital fl(H), ! 000.

The bonds run ten years, and are 4 per cents, bearing interest from July 1, 18!'U. Hidg wlll lie opened August Mlh llids under 104 will not be consld ered, and Iho right to reject any or all llids Is reserved. The people here, who recently voted so unanimously for the Issue of street improvement bonds, which brought 100, congratulate enterprising Greensboro on yesterday's handsome majority for bonds. The moat earnest efforts will be made by President Richard 11. Baltic, Secre tary Joseph K. Pogue and other officers of tlie State Fair, to get rale of one cent a mile. This is the proper rate. To give Il means money for the railroads, as well as the fair. As a result of tbe five days' work of the Superior court here last week, 27 persons were sent to the public roads, bringing the road gang up to 100. Tbe force is now at work on the road in what is known as "Rhamkatte" (a corruption of Ramegate) southwest of Raleigh. Along this bigli plateau ran tbe "King's highway" between Salisbury and Wil miugton, and there il was Ibat Comwal lis maile all his camp-tollowers stop on bis retreat from Guilford Court House Secretary Brown, of tbe corporalion commission, says that though he is going ahead with the work of preparing the returns of assessment of the property of railroads and transportation companies, he cannot certify these to the Auditor and Treasurer, as the order of Judge SiminonU.n forbids it. Mention was made of tlie fact that tbe knitting mills now here are to be en larged. Il is said today that Julian S. Carr will move hla knitting mills from Durham lo Raleigh. J. It. Tillery, chief supervisor of the penitentiary farms was here and when asked some questions regarding the (arms, said; "Tbe cotton on the Roanoke farm is remarkably fine and early; full of blooms and heavily fruited. It was blooming as early as June 26lh. I never Baw so many blooms thus early We look for 3,000 bales. Peanuts arj flne. If the price remains at tbe present figure, f 1 a bushel, we will, with the ex peeled crop of 30,000 bushels come out ahead ll is year. The corn crop is faitly good; say an average one; cut worms having damaged it. A 16,000 barrel crop is expecled. Tbe rice crop Is good. The Caledonia farm, which tbe Slate will buy neit year, is of 7,200 acres. It was first leased some years ago. I am sure that the Improvements tbe Stale has put on It, levees, canals, ditches, building, etc. could not be duplicated for $150,000 There are nine miles of levee, much of it 1ft feet hlirb and some, where ravinea are crossed, 120 feet wide at tbe base. There i i 1 has been only one break in this Immense levee, inai waving occurrea two yean ago. These farms are now healthy.' Driven wells have wrought the change.

Duffy. - Makes the food more delicious and wholesome I MMKKft A Col inn Trast. Fall Rivkk, Mask, July 1!) For some weeks a quiet IfcTestlgation has been going on as to values ol New Eng land mills making coarse grades. If the mills of Fall River combine under one bead or are bought out by a single or gauiuktiou, this, it is expected, will be tbe nucleus of a gigantic ooabiualiou of cotton mills Interests all over the coun try, involving the expenditure of more than $j0tl,0O0,00U. A combination would stop the present competition between Seutberu and New F.ngland mills. Il is expected that when the men who are now at work on the project get at tbe bottom of tbe details as to the debt and the earnings per spindle there will be a distinct offer made for each concern lu the city except the fine goodB and yarn mills. A mill treasurer who has just returned from New York says that the Standard Oil Company, under Its charter, could acquire the cotton mills of the country, aud that it was the interest which the Standard Oil men and some New York bankers bad shown in the project, that bad caused the investigation which has proceeded so far It is estimated that for f.'2.-),(HX),000 the cotton mills combine can lake in all the mills of the country. There is one some wbal formidable obstacle in 1 be scheme on foot. Mr, CD. Borden, of New lork, a great producer and distributor of col ton goods, is said to be antagonistic to tlie scheme and his objeclinns may go a eat way toward keeping il back. Itij; 4.UII For Manila. Savannah, Ua., July 1'.) A fourteen ton breech-loading rifle wiib brought up to the city last night from Port Pulaski, where it had been mounted during tbe Spanish war.

Taking all together they having been a paying crop All would have done better bad we bad beller transportation and lowei freights, as we ought to have bad. Mr Graham Jones shipped his crop to Char lotte, N. C, and got the best prices that was obtained by any one In this place Ye northern merchants better look oui or North Carolina will have a market which will excell yours. There has been great deal ef complaint by tbe farmers as to quotations they say they could not gel quotations and some who have here tofore been near flooded Wilb postal card quotations, etc., have not bad a line this season. They dou'l lay the blame lo the northern merchants, but place il nearer home. Other crops are fine, it does one good to travel over the farms and see the beautiful corn, cotton and potatoes, and oh those fine watermelon?! Elder Aden of Bayboro Is conducting a series of meetings at Bay creek this week. His congregations are increasing each day. His song service is conductei by Professor G. W. Daniels of Mesic and is good. He is hard to beat on vocal music. Llders Lewis and Frost are preaching al Mount .ion this week Elder Lowder will preach al Barues Utiapel nexl week, so you see wc are having preaching at well as fine crops The farmers are jusl now putting the tbe finishing touch to their crops, and when they gel done, they will be just so lazy they wont know what to do. The timber getters here are very busy. Good weather and prices seems to make them hustle. We hear the Pamlico l.iiiu ber Co. al Vandemore Is just overdone with logs, they have their poud full, and it is a large one, and are now having them shoved into Cedar creek which is near by. We hear of a movement to put a steam boat on Bay river line. This is very commendable and badly needed. We hope that our friend J. O. B. of Stone wall will keep writing and talking steam boat until we have one. The wedding bells having lieen ring ing. Mr. Richard Swindell of ilobucken, N. C, thought it not good to be alone. Miss Ida Meekins of Mesic, N.C, was of the same kind, therefore a justice of tbe peace made valid the contract. They will make their home at Jones Bay. May tender hand lead them along life's rugged road. V. e have naturally on Bay creek some tine places for a loggiug mill. Why lon't some of the timber men lake ad vantage of it? We think there Is much to encourage a mill here. Anyone thai is interested can write W. T. Mayo, Mesic, N. C, and be wlll give them all needed information. M. NOTICK Tit M AKINKKS.
