creased interest in this worthy cause
Few situations in life are more
distressing than that of children with -
out homes. No loss seems so grea as
that of parental love. Bereavement
inflicts its stroke with acutest anguish
when it cuts all the! (lender , ties that
bound the loving lives of father and
mother to our devoted heart. Other
sorrows, other losses, we may bear
with fortitude. Other bereavements,
even, seem not to fill our spirit .with,
such bitter humiliation; for they come
to us in after life, when we have
somewhat learned to -bear the lessons
of grief, and. when manhood or wo
manhood has brought us increased
power and endurance. '
Childhood, with all its ignorance, of
worldly sorrows, and with all its frail
ty of spirit,' is overwhelmed by tribu
lation of being orphaned. The orphan,
therefore, is entitled to peculiar sym
pathy and protection. The child be
reaved of its natural guardianship
and left, in its innocency ana tears,
to the tenderness, of n cold world be
comes the, very symbol of defenseless
affliction; and as such,. it should re
ceive the protection of every-man's
arm and the affection of every wo
man's heart We have seen, perhaps,
the actual exemplification of all uhe
suffering home pictures. We remem-
er the dark and tearful day of Burial.
iWe seem again to seethe child with
trange fear and fcrief , tvKning its
ittle arms about its parent's neck,
anfl covering with kisses the cold
Ucheeks. We think , of the passionate
outbursts of sorrow when the loved 1
form was borne away. a I
jfhen more sad even than al) this,
wa call to mind the long years of sbr-
Toy, suffering and loneliness that iol
loed. Maybe some of our own par

REPRESENTATIVE
TO CHAIRMAN BUCKNER'S LETTER -
Referring to an article last week in
the Madison County News-Record and
the Asheville Citizen, entitled.
WHAT $1.75 LEVY WOULD HAVE
MEANT .TO THE FARMERS OF
MADISON COUNTY
Signed by Chairman W. G. Bucknor.
It's not what it would have meant!
It's what it would mean' nowl Here's
what ifr would mean, that every tax
payer in Madison County would keep

idea jn their heads to confiscate
$10,000.00 in money from the rail-
road company and other incorpora-
tionslto wve tt farmers. J

Mr. Buckner?

! The Machinery
Apt, under whicn
property is listed, is not a mere joke.
It's the law of the State of North
Carolina, and the oath your listeners
took or should have taken to list prop
erty at its true value in money is a
solemn oath. See the oath of a list
taker Sec. 45, Machinery Act; also
see Section 60. ft pepviaes thatgthe
equalization Boarn (Tie Colnty Ojbm
missioners) "Shall equalise the Val
uation so that each tract or lot of
land or article of personal property
shall be entered on the tax list at its
true value in money." f
Then from the article, Ml Commis
sioners, it looks like if you had been
listing with the Intention of carrying
out the law or legal frate of $1.7g
property would have lopked moreval
uable to you. It thai; the idea? 1
find tax payers scared! since the mis
leading article appeared,' thinking
from your article and "your rub-down
explanations last Monday you are go
ing to raise the assessments. -How
could it be done? Ha(i the boarjl had
a change of mind this fuick as to true
value in money? No.ithe assessment
for Madison County is not going -to
be raised again this yfcar. It passed
out of the commissioners' hands after
the first Monday in August until next
year and then only on personal prop
erty and four long eyearf on real es
tate. ""v " t -v
If the legl rate of $1.75 on (V

It's -myi oppiorj that uniecssary lcesslry toj remake, wguld cfct about

der to reduce the farmers' taxes this
will mean something to the farmers,
but any attempt handed out in any
way to make the tax payers think the
assessment is going to be raised is un
fair and it's not in my opinion fair tb
the commissioners or the list, takers
to try to make the tax payers think
the railroad, was "pinched contrary to
law to save he" farmers. -
If the tax books are" to be re figured
at the rate of $1.T5 and ittosts a lew
dollars to have that dorte-I say whose
faolt-is it't 1 Tf S this fault of the com
missianers, of course. , . 1
Evidently the tax books' show the
amount of real and 'personal property
listed by every taxpayer in tfie cpun-,1
ty and to ascertain the amount of tax
es due by each one would require the
total amount Multiplied, by $1.75; fr
example, if a tax-payer's property was
listed at $1,000.00 at $2.05 his taxes
would be 20.60nd at $4.-75 his taxes-
would amount to $47.50AN ThW looks
like it would be 4-ite isy f r the
commissioners -o have-figured out--and
I am very sure it would look easy
to the tax payers wnen they ,b down
in their pockets after the money to
