‘'Charlotte has been definitely de

the last three weeks since I was I
here and announced that Charlotte j
was being investigated for the plant,.
I have been looking over prospec

"Within a short time, alter the ac

we will begin construction of the
plant. We will have our own village

to help it \ rry much. “The plan*
will bring to the city environs ap
proximately 15,000 people, said Mr.
Hilliard.
“We use cotton exclusively in our
proce1,'1 Mr. Hilliard continued,

use waste cotton as a base. Witli the

Victim Tells Story Of Rare
Disease As Doctors Listen
Narcolepsy J» Strang? Disease—At
lanta Negro 45th Person To
Be Afflicted.
'Atlanta'..—A sufferer from one of
the rarest diseases known to medi
cal science has given to the interna
tional assembly of the post graduate :
medical association of North Amer-'
ica the story of. Ms struggles, .with i
narcolepsy.
. From, the stage of the municipal
auditorium, where the assembly
has been in session this week, an
'Atlanta negro, the 45th Person in
medical history to have been strick
en with the disease, told of its at
tacks.
Persons suffering from narcolepsy,
said an Atlanta physician, in dis
cussing the negro's case, are sub-;
;ieet to sudden and complete loss, ot
muscular control.
Any sudden emotional shock,
such as a shout, laughter, a reac
tion to music, or sudden pleasure
or a thrilling scene in the movies
is likely to bring on an attack of
the malady, the doctors said.
The negro said he had control of
his. mental faculties, but'was un
able to speak or to move for a few
minutes when stricken by the mal
ady.
The patient was in a jovial mood
as he strode on to the stage on
the auditorium, to bee cun e the
subject of rapt attention of more
than 2.000 doctors and surgeons
here from many sections of the
world. He -smeared in norma!
health.
An Ex-Champ and a Future (?)
Jack Dempsey (left), deposed heavyweight champ, who mauled
jack Sharkey all over the ring, now seems to think he's a pretty
likely chap. In fact, Dempsey is boosting the Jack from Boston
as the man who will inherit Gene Tunney’s crown. The two
Jacks were snapped in the Hub City as they started out for a
ride in one of Sharkey’s new cars.

NEGRO. STOLEN BY GYPSIES
AS CHILD, RETURNS
Salisbury. Oct. I’l.-Amos Brown,
a negro w ho when ten years old was
kidnapped from Salisbury more
than 30 years ago. has returned to
inquire info the possibility of his
having an interest in property
which his mother owned when he
was taken away.
Brown says he was sent up town
on an errand and was picked up by
gypsies who offered him a ride. He
was gagged and thrown into the
rear of the wagon where several
other negro boys already had been
imprisoned.

changes it materially. The rule of
uniformity required in the old sec
tion is eliminated entirely except
as to real property and tangible
personal propertv. as follows:
'“The rate of taxation on real
propertv and tangible personal
property shall be uniform within
the territorial limits of the au
thority levying the tax—and then
comes the vital feature of the
amendment—but intangible per
sonal property may be classified 1%'
the general assembly, which shall
prescribe a uniform rate of tax
throughout the state for each class.’
“The object of this new pro
vision is to permit a different rate
of taxation for intangible personal
property such as bonds, notes and
investments in stock from that im
posed upon tangible and real per
sonal property
“It is said that the universal
experience of imposing a moder
ate rate of tax upon what is known
as solvent credits results in in
creasing largely the amount of such
solvent credits given in for tax
ation This amendment, too, seems
to permit a classification of the
various kinds of solvent credits.
The home exemption feature of the
existing section is entirely strick
en out but that in relation to the
taxation of trades, professions,
franchises, and incomes is identi
cal in every particular with the
part of the old section that deals
with this subject.
m connection with this proposed
amendment, Mr London said, it is
suggested that section 9 of article
VII relating to municipal ad valo
rem taxes be repealed. “That sec
tion as it now exists.” he said,
“requires all taxes levied by any
county, city, town or township to
he uniform and ad valorem upon
all property in the same class. It
was necessary to strike this out as
part of the plan for . the amend
ment of the constitution because
the new section discussed above
meets the situation in this regard
fully. In other words It was neces
sary to strike this out in order
that the tax system of counties apd
other municipalities should be co
ordinated with that of the state.”
