NEWS LETTER FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
(By Maxwell Gorman)
Raleigh, April 18.—The Democratic
state convention Thursday is the event
of this week and the "keynote' speech
to be dlievered by Congrssman Ed W.
Pou of the fourth district, temporary
presiding officer, the outstanding fea
ture of that occasion.
Some of the party's guardians and
"leaders" are on the preliminary
scene and many an old political hen
will be set during the week on seven
months eggs designed to be hatchd
out in Novmber.
The third Congressional district is
euusing more anxiety than any other
spot in the party firmament at pres
ent, there being a whole setting of
eggs in that one district alonq for
the primury to dispose of before the
hatching time.
Saturday is the last day for any
citizen who wants to be congressman,

ciate judge or,corporation commission
er on either ticket to declare himself
und pay his fee. Tiie lists close next
Satrday night at midnight though uny
notification bearing the stamp of April
22 will be accepted and filed.
Four judicial districts congressional
districts, aeven solicitorships, scores of
those who will seek senatorial honors
and the place on the oCrporation Com
mission were unspoken for by either
Republican or Democrat. But fsw Re
publicans have applied for any office
though a fll rosuter of them is ex

Figures About Tar Heels in the War
Following a requeot from 'Commis
sioner W A Grahum of the North Car
olina Department of Agricultune Sen
ator Simmons obtuined information
from the Adjutunt General's office,
War Departmsnt, saying that com
plete figures showing the number of
North Carolina men who served in
the Woild Wur are not yet available,
but that ths folowing estimates could
be given:
"The most recent estimates, based
upon tho number of statements of
servics thus far completed, in.
that approximately 4,438,000 men
served in the army as enlistsd men
during the period of hostilities or
whom son\e 94,900 entered the service
from.the state of North Carolina. It
has also been sstimated that 3,865 of
the 206,1150 commissioned officers came
from that state.
"■Recently compiled casualty statis
tics show that 2,505 North Carolina
soldiers, of whom 76 were commis
sioned oflicsrs and 2,429 were enlisted
men, lost their lives during the period
of the war and that 3,823 others in
cluding 156 officers and 3,000 enlisted
men, were woundsd.
State Wins Again in Railroad Tax
Court Orfcr
Tho State of North Carolina and
the State Department of Revenue, A.
D. Wutts Commissionsr, have again
won a court fight against the big
railroad systems, that have been de
laying payment of income taxes.
Again arguing their suit against
the taxing department of the state the
railroads were unable to move the fed
eral judges who recently dnied their
application, their honors refusing a
gain to continue the injunction pend-"
ing the hearing of that appeal before
the United States Supreme Court.
The carriers are in the anomalous
position of asking an injunction a
gainst nothing. The court has dismiss
ed hte action against the state. The
roads have appealed. But the rel pur
pose of the application now before the
court is to stay the collection of tnxes.
Tho three judges who sat in these
cases point the roads to the highest
court. They refused to stop payment
until they are themselves stopped.
Judges Connor and Waddill, who
heard the informal argument
railroads, granted thirty days to the
roads thus staying the state's proced
ure against the companies another
month to give the Supreme Court of
the United States a chance to act.
After he cxpiraion of that hirty days
the roads will have to pay what a.
mounts to a substantial million dollars
annually in taxes. Judge Connor, sit
ting alone, set June 15th for die fi
nal hearing on the income tax feature
of the litigation.

FOREST FIRES
Many destructive forest fires swiept
over valuable land in North Carolina
last week. On Tuesday, withTTie high
est wind in years some one put fire
in a large tract of timber in Hear
Grass township, that caused much
damage to a large number of people.
No houses were burned but it took
diligent fighting to save the homne of
Messrs. S H Mobley and Jesse C
Raw la, where the firs was swept by
the wind.
On Saturday a party put flro in a
tract of timber land on the JameHville
and Washington road in Griffins town
ship and the woods being thick and
exceedingly dry it was soon "wild fire"
and burned for several miles through
much valuable timber, sweeping the
tops out of big trees. Farmers along
the path of the fire also lost much
fencing. Mr. C C Coltrain lost a large
stock house but no stock was burn
ed and very little fed stuff lost. It
wns only by the most heroic work of
hundreds of volunteers, many of them
coming from mlies away, that every
building that at least a dozen families
owned was saved.
Some of the people are wondering
what to do with a party who will start
such a fire to destroy his neighbor
There seems to be plenty of law but
little of it used. Such a crime as
this should require sever punishment.
Mrs J W Watts Jr is visiting her
parents, Mr and Mrs A E Wadsworth
at New Bern.

A TAXPAYER'S LETTER
ABOUT CITY AFFAIRS
• Dear Editor:
i 1 have been wondering for coma
i time as to why my labor was suddenly
I leaving to take joba with the fore*
that ia woking our streets, until by
1 inquiry from Mr Smith, road chief I
learned that he waa paying lajor $2.00
per day. Wo have been unable to get 
I labor at less than $1..60 per tlsy altho
other concerns In our line aro paying
i but 75c to $1.26. This is handicap s
nough when you have to stll your
products in competition with these
 firms, but when you have to compote
with your town on a basis that no
private concern could exist under, it
t would apear that there ia certainly
.something decidedly wrong.
By l going over the names of our
Town Commissioner! I find that they
i are all business mon and I wondar
i If they have occasion to emphy much
labor how they would figure that they
could pay such wages and go out la
the pen market and sell their goods.
I would give a lot to learn their secret
if they can get by with it I am not
a "knocker" against high wnges. I
realicti fully that when wages are
high we are in the midst of pros
