Gude’s f^to-Man^an icme and Blood Enricher i' Restriction of the equalizing powers of county commissioners as to real estate and strict instructions to verify statements of taxpayers as to personal property feature instructions to tax assessors which have been prepared by the State Board of Assessment. The board is composed of R. A. Dough- ton, Commissioner of Revenue; J. S. 'ManningrAttornoy-treneral: and W. T. Lee, chairman of the Corporation Com mission. Tai assessors have been named in all of the counties of the State and will begin their work on May 1. Before that date instructions will be mailed them from the offices of Commissioner Doughton. The work of assessment must be completed not later than July 1. “ The several boards of county com missioners have j been made boards of Equalization and Review by the General Assembly and empowered to meet in that capacity each July. Concerning the equalization pow ers of the board of commissioners the letter of instruotionu says: “Ab to real this equilization can be had only on years in which lands are valued for taxation, except when such valuation shall have been ef fected by some extraordinary circum stances, the facts in connection with which shall be found by such board'in each case.” Under the interpretation placed upon the law by Commissioner Dough- ton, the counties which have declared present values just and a reassess ment unnecessary are in the same po sition qs in years when the question of valuation has not arisen and while the county commissioners will sit as a board of equalization they will be lim ited to cases with “extraordinary cir cumstances.” "Get it all on the books and don’t take anybody’s” word for what it is worth is the substance df the instruc tions in regard to listing personal property. “It is customary to ask the tax payer to give the value o personal property but this is merely for what It may be worth as information and does not Relieve the officer from mak ing a proper valuation,” reads the in structions. Special attention is called in the letter to intangible property which may be concealed and assessors are cautioned to secure the listing of all solvent credits including those of domestic and foreign corporations. The personal property exemption of $300 has been continued despite the protest of legislators from Eastern counties but assessors are warned that this exemption includes only certain classes of property such as household and kitchen furniture, growing crops, etc. Attention is called in the letter to the drastic penalties for mailing false or incomplete tax returns and the as sessors are urged to see that all prop erty, by whomever owned, is put on the books. SMk\To Think up Shoi-yLitM Roadk RolV One of the tanfl regulMions of tiie\state Corporattoli ConunfesioD is invoked against the Eaai^ CafQiinsi'.: Railroad and the contention that the' Atlantic Coast Line has no provision in its charter whereby it may lease its property to indiyiduals is set up in a supplemental brief tiled by the State Traffic AssociaUon in its efforts to have subsidiary short lines declar ed a part of the parent system and placed on the same rate basis. - The case has been panding for more than a year, and extended hearings in the case of the East Carolina rail road, the Virginia' & Carolina South ern, the Washington and Vandemere and others were held. Ne decisions has been handed down by the. Com mission in either of the cases ending. The argument submitted in the brief by J. S. Griffin, probably means the re-opening of the cases, and some time may yet elapse before an order is made. Under the contention of the Traffic Association, the short lin^* railroads, which charge a higher freight rate than is allowed on the main line rail roads,* are actually owned by the pa rent lines, and farmed out technically to enable them to charge a higher freight rate.

New York.—Although considerable irregularity was apparent in the chief financial markets during the past week, reports from Industrial dis tricts showed that the strong upswing in business is being continuedr- Pig iron production is at a new high level for all time and a similar condition probably exists with regard mande'd'that the lines be declared a , to steel.

One hundred qnd fifty-eight con tractors submitted bids on 2 road and bridge projects offered by the State Highway Commission aggregating $3,- 670,238.20, bj^paklng the record for the year and coming within one letting of setting up an entirely new mark for aggregate bids on a single day’s let ting since roads began to be offered in wholesale quantity two years ago. Withdrawel of several major pro jects of hard surfacing on account of th« serious shortage of cement cut down the original mileage advertised fof letting to approximately 150 miles of new construction. About 90 miles of hard surface and 60 miles of other types were includefu, with grading and bridges on projects that were with drawn for immediate bard surfacing. Four major projects went, beyond the three hundred thousand dollar mark in the bidding, they being the New Bern end of the Central High way, a link of the W. C. A. Highway near Wilmington, the Wllson-Greene county line road and the Waynes- vUle-Canton link of the Central high way. No contracts have been awarded, and it is likely that a number will be withdrawn because of unsatisfactory prices. . ' ■' tariffs ordered into effect. In the case of the East Carolina Railroad, no denial was made of the fact that the Atlantic ' Coast Line owns all of its $55,000 capital stock, and ail of its $300,000 outstanding bonds except $5,000. A separate com pany from the Atlantic Coast Line leases the property, some 50 miles in length, and Operates as an individual property, charging the freight rates allowed 'short lines. Hehry Clark Bridgers, of Tarboro, is president of the company. Judge Pells statement during the hearing that "I think any court would take judicial notice that any man who owns anything has the management and control of it, is quoted in the ar gument, along with Tlule No. 1 which declares that “all connecting railroads which are luider the same manage- last Decembei'^ and which was super imposed in one that had begun in. the spring, has come to a pause, this is explained, however, by the fact that production is now extraordinarily large and that constftners are assured all the steel which their plants can handle. That other branches of industry are operating at what amounts to ca pacity may be seen from the figures for automobile production for March. Some 346,000 cars were manufacture- ed in that month, which exceeds by 57,000 the best previous record, made in June of last year. Over twice as many cars were made in the first three months of this year than last, the total being slightly more than 867,000. Makers believe thta the total for the year will be 3,000,000, but point out, significantly that favorable conditions mar- ment and control, by lease, owner-^J’wil be needed inrthe materials ship, or otherwise, of one and the same j kets. , ' company for the purpose of transporta Railway car loadings also add their tlon in applying this tariff, be con- testimony to the other evidences oi sidered as one and the same road, and the rates shall be computed as upon parts of one and the saiiib road, unless otherwise specified. The contention is made that no Intense activity, continuing to set new high records for the season of the year. In this connection much inter est has been displayed in program an nounced by the American Railway specification is made In the rates of j association. Anticipating further gains in traffic and a wholly unprece dented autumn movement of freight, the railroads have authorized the ex penditure of $L100,000,000 this year for the expansion of their rolling stock and other facilities. the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, or the East Carolina Railroad. i Nothing in the charter of either the' Atlantic Coast Line Railroad or of the East Carolina Railroad gives the right to lease its property either as a cor poration or as an individual. > The United States ySuprenje court is quot ed to the, efroct thial^.a’ railroad comply of alf'^bM^ ^ad, rolling stock a^ franchises foVwhich no authority is given in its cbaiter is ultra vires and void.” The brief moses with the contention that rule No. 1 be applied. Grissom Cofiects $14,000,000 ih March. Approximately $14,000,000 was col lected in March by the United States Internal Revenue Department, bring ing the total for the nine months of the present fiscal year to $101,000,000, as compared with $91,125,482,89 for the same period last year, Gilliam Grissom, collector, announoed. Mr. Grissom made public the following table of collections for the two periods: Present fiscal year: July, 1922, $10,- 089,418.63; August, 1922, $1,075,285.29, September, 1922, $15,709,584.84; Octo- 01', is»22, $8,18,323.12; November, 1922; $8,610,935.85; December, 1922, $9,011,- 837.72; January, 1923, $12,102,152.73; February, 1923, $10,113,500.40; March, 1923, $4,000,000 (approximate.)

C. Brooks. Mr. Allen will assume control of the school July 1. His successor in the department will not be named for the present. Under recent acts of jhe General Assembly $375,000 was appropriated for ;the expansion of the equipment of the school and under the manage ment of President Allen the capacity of the school, which has been raised to the grade of a standare' normal school will be practically Igubled. Building operations have alrebdy bgen outlined by the Board of Trustees a recent meeting. T a e Favors Cut in Surtax Rates. Washington.—Possible efforts by the treasury to have Congress cut the surtax rate on Incomes further were « ecast in a formal statement by Sec- ary Mellon, who asserted that March collections of income and prof its taxes, aggregating $462,000,000, had fully Justified his prediction that downward revision would have the effect of actually increasing rather than decreasing the federal revenue. Coupled with this statement, was a declaration by Mr. Mellon that the March collections which were under the lower rates of the new law of “under such revision as has been ac complished” provided a practical answer to the tax problem and "shows clearly what course further revision should take.” He mentioned that although highe rates were in effect in March, 1922, the collections at that time w'ere $70,006,000 lea's than in the same month this year, at cir cumstance which he regarded as proof that the downward revision had acted as a stimulant to business. Fourteen Millions in Revenue. Approximately $14,000,000 was col lected in "karch by the United State^ internal revenue department, bring ing the total for the nine months of the present fiscal year to $101,000,000 as compared with $91,126,482.80 for the same period last year, Gilliam Grissom, collector, announced. The state has collected $2,700,000 in income tax to date, the figure show ing a substantial increase over last Jyears receipts. The amount, how ever, still is below the budget oom- mlssion's estimate of $3,500,000. Shoot Auto Carrying Girls. Greenville, S. C.—The car in which they were riding was badly shot up and Miss Rosalie Bowen and Miss Mary Gwlnn, young women of Ashe ville, N. C.. miraculously escaped death when they failed to halt as or dered to do so by a group of federal prohibition officers on the Greenvllle- Ashevllle highway about 20 miles north of here, according to a story told by the young women on their ar rival here. > After a tire was deflated by shots and the car dashed into a ditch,, officers searched it, the young women said upon arrival here, and then allowed them to proceed. Prohibition officers, it was said, were waiting on the roadside near Traveler’s Rest in upper Greenville count/ for expected rum smugglers when the automobile bearing the two young women hove into sight around a curve, T. L. Queen, officer in charge of the party, stepped into the road, ’the girls said, and ^attempted to flag down the on-coming car. The young women, they later told officers here, thought the group of men were high- wayment, became excited and dashed WIKEINADO DAMAGE AMOUNTING TO ONE hundred thousand DOL LARS PROBABLE. HUNDRED HDUSES WRECKED storm Originated in Edge of Johnson County and Took a Northeasterly Course. Wendell.—A score of presons are said to have ben injured, some oY them fatally, a hundred or more large build ings blown down and property damag ed to the amount of $100,000 by a tor nado which cut a path a half mile wide ^d between seven and ten miles long through eastern Wake county, accord ing to reports received here. The tornado, which is said to have originated in the edge of Johnston couutyr “tdSk^^ : Bortheas teen - course east of Wendell and freakishly skip ped here and there, demolishing every thing in its path for two hundred yards or more and then ,leaving the patch for ^ the next two hundred yards un- tohehed. It swept within one half mile of Wendell where it wrought damage to the extent of $1,000 on the farm of J. R. Richardson, and is declared to have blown down a building in Zebu- Ion. On the farm df J. P. Richardson, one mile east of Wendell, six of the 11 tenant houses were blown down, together with 14 large tobacco barns, 20 pack houses and two granaries. One of the houses, occupied by John Denham, negro^ was blown to splinters, and Debnam’s 'Wife and 10 children were injured. The mother and one child, regarded as probably fatally in jured; were removed to a Raleigh hos pital. The damage on this farm alone, it is estimated, was $15,000. On the farm of W. T. Roberts six or seven barns and some stables were blown down, while the kitchen of the dwelling of Norman Deans was blown off and a granery demolished. The tornado, accompanied by a heavy downpour of raio, exercised all the freakish traits of the usual torna do. For a space of a half mile or more it wiped out every building in its path and then, for 200 yards, apparently skipped off, settling back In the same track again with unabated fury. It will require the work of a very large road force to clear the high ways In the course of the tornado, it is stated. Want Women to Taxe Exercises. Washington.—Measures to Interest American women in suitable from3 of exercise to improve their health and nhy.sieni fitness held the attention of the Women’s Conference on Physical Education, meeting here under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic Federation at the call of Mrs. Herbert Hoover. v,!ce president of the Feder ation. Thg^ Problem was viewed as one if intrestlng in physical recreation those who missed the advantages In physical training of the present day ccbool girl. Weevil Makes Debut in Anson. Wadesboro.^—The boll weevil has al ready made its spring debut, in Anson county. A number of genuine speci mens were collected the other day from guano sacks in a field of Dr. R. D. Ross, of this city, near Lilesvllle. These specimens appeared to be large and healthy. > Dr. Ross humorously remarked that experts would again have to be sent here to advise with the farmers about the best way to forestall the weevil, since the weevil was now inspecting the brands of fertilizers to determine what the prospects were likely to be, and whether it would pay his weevil- ship to remain. Dr. Ross has several acres of cotton already up, and will wage a strong fight on the weevil, be ginning right away to use the poison preventatlves. Consider Burned Forests Hopeless. Asheville.—“Areas burned over one or more times are practically h'opelesa from the standpoint of spruce regener ation,” according to forest officials, who are attending an investigative conference of the work In the south ern and Appalachian forest experiment stations. “Such areas,” it is asserted, “soon grow up in dense tangles of black berry briars followed by thick stands of fire cherry and yellow birch.” Increase Capacity of Market. Kingston.—The local tobaccp'market will have a capacity of 800,000 pounds a day next fall as a result of Institu tion of the triple sales system here, it was estimated by obacco Board of Trade offieia'.s. This capacity will be “normal,” and without a strain upon facilities. Under the system sales may be in proyress at three points sikiul- taneously. As the market stands ntaw, there are anly three warehouses left under tlm supervision of the Board gf Trade, s fourth having been burned last winter. This may be restored. Two other warehouses in the city are beng n^ed by the tobacco and cotton co-operatives. I or play. Yt glveava the poise aiid> steadiness that' scan snccess.
