BuaioH, May t -Chairman McNeill
andCkmmlsslonur Bogers of the corpora
Hon commission did not leant nntjl this
morning ;of Judge Slmonton's decision
with reference to the lajaactton against
Sheriff Page collecting the Btate Income
tax oa the salary of United States Judge
T. R, Parnen, Judge Slmonton declared
sack I tax oa a Federal officer's Income
anooastltntlonal bat at the tame time
held that the Federal Court hud no juris
diction beeense the mount of the tax
WU leeTlhan tS,000.
Chairman McNeill was asked what
oourse would be taken now and he re
plied We will proceed to collect the
tax on Judge Purnell's salary and If he
resists farther the courts will hare to
decide the question. Since Judge Simon
ton's decision shows that Judge Purnell
was mistaken at to wher he could be
gin his action maybe Judge dlmonton is
mistaken as to the tax being unconstitu
tional . "
Jadge PurneU will haTe to fight In the
State Courts now bat ho could doubtless
carry the case from the North Caroline
Supreme Court to the United States
Courts.
Chairman McNeill and Commissioner
Sogers declared that the meetings of
tax listers and assessors In the counties
Tisitedwere well atteade l. The asses
sors in towns of over 8,000 inhabitants
msy begin work next Monday, according
to the law. Next week the commission
ers WlU announce their May appoint
ments and all the eounties-wlllbOTUIted
by Jane 1st. Mr McNeill says that at
the meetings In counties that receive
more from the State .than they pay la
pedal attention is being called to the
fael before the assessors. A circular let
ter Will be ietaed shortly emphasizing
the law that property mutt be assessed
at Its actual cash Talne and not at
vhaj it would bring oa a forced sale.

Monday, after opening the Knights of

he will go to Randolph county;'
It is foaad from the Collector of In
ternal Rerenue'e books here that there
it a btg Increase la distilling bow. The
increase this month orer April last year
la nearly BO per oeat and the alleged
cause la. that the dlttlllerleslare . making
all the liquor they can before the Watts
hfll goes late effect two months hence.
Orer 100 ttula are now In operation In
this district.
A curious discovery was made today
with reference to Harnett county. The
Legislature passed an act "to prohibit
the sale aad manufacture of liquor In
Haraelt eoaaty" bat no- penalty Is pre-
serlbed. This special, act keeps the
Watts bill trees applying to Harnett,
Therefore it seems that while It is na
lawful to saaaafaeture liquor IS the
eoaaty the violation of the law' has io
penalty attached.: What the malt D1
be remains to be seen. -. : -1

A Congressman's Letter.
Hon. W. P. Brownlow, Congressman
from Tennessee, writes from Wash
ington, D. C., the following :
" I havo suffered from catarrh of tho
stomach for several years, and for tho
past twolvo months was in an exceed
ingly critical condition. My attention
was called to your Peruna, and I began
to nso it, and my Improvement T.a3
noticeablo after tho first tnreo days. I
havo taken throe bottles of the mcdicino
and I feel satisfied that I am now almost,
if not permanently, cured. In connoc
tioa with tho Peruna, I have used your
Manalin for biliousness and torpid liver.
I regard it as the best medicine for this
purposo that I have ever used. Having
been benefited so much myself, I give
you this statement, that others may bo
likewise benefited." W. P. Brownlow,

Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Keser
voir Council No. 168, Northwestern Le
gion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn.,
writes from 2635 Polk street, N. E. :
"I have been
troubled all my
lifo with catarrh
in my head. I
took Peruna for
about three
months, and
now think I am
permanently
cured. I believe
that for catarrh
in all iU forms
Poruna is tho
medicine of the
age. It cures
Mrs. Elmer KlomlnR,
Minneapolis, Minn.
when all other remedies fail. I can
heartily recommend Peruna as a catarrh
remedy ."Mrs. Elmer Fleming.
Treat Catarrh In Spring.
Tho spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a euro of catarrh. If a course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
tho euro will be prompt and permanent.
There can bo no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
As a systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may bo located. It cures ca
tarrh of tho stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh of tho hoad.
If you do not dorivo prompt and satis
factory results from tho use of Poruna,
write at once to Dr. Itartman, giving a
full statcmont of your case and ho will
bo pleased to gtvo you his valuable od
yloo gratia. 1
