Ifit would be unweildy with 390 members it is un- weildy with 357. A good many peo- ple argue thatit is too large now, but that all depends on the way you look at it. Ifthe house of representatives were to be run according to the lines originally laid down and as it was run before the days of Speaker Reed, it would doubtless be far better for purposes of practical legislation to have the membership cut down to! 250 or even smaller; but according to the present methods of legislatior. the work isso divided out among the committees, and the house itself is run so completely by its commit- tee on rules, thata few additional members would make no difference at all in the matter fof the expedi- tion of legislation or of the results attained. Itis sometimes insisted that an increase in the membership of the house would necessitate an increase in the capitol building. That b; no means follows. Of course a change in the interior arrangements of the hall would be necessary. be- cause about every available foot of room there is now taken up by desks. dut the problem could easily be solved by adopting plans which have often been discussed in this connec- tion. That is, by the removal of the desks, which take upso much room nd substituting benches or individ- ual chairs in place of these desks. There might readily be prepared writing rooms anc reading rooms adjoining the present cloak rooms or across the halls. The plans which have been discussed in this connec- tion by diiierent architects woulau bring results something lke the British house of commons. There is really noneed for these individual desks, though perhaps the members who are used to them would find some difficulty in accom mcdating themseives to the new or- Ger of thises. Still it could be done and for one I donct see but it would be s decided improvemert over the present conditions. A Negro Kitis Two Men in Jackson- ville. Jacksonville, Fia., Dispatch, 30th. Policeman Henry Railey and Chandler Brooks, colored, were shot dead at the corner of Davis and For- sythe streets, this afternoon, by John Baxter, a young negro. Two negroes were in a fight when the of- ficer arrested one of them, the other escaping. While waiting for the patrol wagon Baxter and a number of other negroes demanded the oft cer to release the prisoner. Words ensued and before Railey could draw his pistol, Baxter shot him dead. Brooks, an inoffensive negro, rushed to Railey’s assistance and was shot down by Baxter. *Ex- Policeman Tucker also recet.ed a severe wound from the murderers.

Emden, Lils., Dispatch, 30th. Four masked men wrecked the Farmers’ Bank, of Emden, early to- day. ltis stated they secured ail the funds of the bank between $3,000 and $4,000. When the robbers discharged their first blast of dynamite in an effort toopen the vault, the explosion aroused a citizen, John Alberts, four blocks away. Alberts hurried to the bank. One ofthe rcbbers was on guard in the street. He seized Alberts. who was bound hand and foot and dragged into the bank, where he witnessed the gang drill- ing into the vault door, making a second blast. When the fuse was lighted the robbers stepped outside and Alberts lay in the corner, when it went off. Hewas not seriously injured, however. The second blast unhinged the vauit doors and tne robbers made off with all the cash Securing a hand-car they puiled in the direction ef Delavan. There they were met by Night Patrolman Sanford, who attempted to e2rrest them. One of the robbers fired and Sanford fell, mortally wounded. ; Outside of the town the men board ed a passenger train on the Chicago «& Alton road Alltraces of them were lost.

Reidsville Dispatch, 2;th.* The homeof Mr. Wright Smath- ers, 2 prominent farmer living sev- en miles sonthwest of Reidsville, was darkened today by the shadow of death caused by a sad accident that befell his 13-year-old son, Wright Smathers, Jr., resulting in his instant death. Early this morn- ing Wright and his friend. Will tankin, 18-years old, went hunting. They foliowed a covey of partridges into the woods ard when the birds flew up Will, involuntarily, kneeled and, without thought of his friend, fired at the birds. Jheload passed into the brain of Wright Smathers. He fell without 2 cry. For a moment young Rankin stood as one dazed, and then, as the uwful truth dawned upon him, a yzreat cry burstfrom his heart and he fled the fateful spot. A young man of tne neighborhood, George Halgin, hearing the outcry, was the first to reach the place and foundthe body of the boy cold in death. Mr. Smathers was summoned and the grief-stricken father, assisted by sympathetic neighbors, texderly bore the dead boy home. The accident was a shock to the community, and a great blow to the devoted family, but be whose sorrow is deepest and most lasting is the young man who was the innocent cause of the death. Mrs. M. A.

Not many days ago The Citize:: reprinted from the Knoxville Jour nal and Tribune astory ofa romaz tic wedding, the bridegroom 1 | which was a native of Watauya county. N.C. The Journal and Tri- bune of Tuesday printed the follow: ing, which forms the second chap ter in the case, it being a sSpecia. from Spokane, Wash.: Edmund Gragg, the Washingtor farmer, whoireturned 2 week age with a young bride, nee Rachel Bar: rett of Knoxville, was arrested ‘to day on a charge of insanity. Sinec the return of the couple all bas not been smooth sailing and Grage claims his wife informed him she only married him to secure trans portation to Spekane, where her sis- ter Jennie has lived for several vears, and is a hairdresser. After the first night at a hotel Mrs.Gragg went tober sister’s home,and Gragy says he has been treated with grow- ing coolness. Enraged by the girl’s action and despondent over the taunts of his relatives, he decided upon suicide. Sunday night he went to his son- in-law’s ranch and made a will, leaving ali ais property to his bride. His intention was discovered, and a charge of insanity was placed against him. Hequietly submitted toarrest and talks perfectly ra- tional. He was examined today and his case was continued for two weeks, as no symptoms of insanity were developed. Hesayshe is tired of life and wanted to end it. The wife has not visited him in jail. When Gragg and his wife reached Spokane a week ago his first action after securing accommodations was to gotoa newspaper otlice, where he wanted to know if his little ro- mance was not wortha brief item. He got 2 column and next day pought in armful of papers to send to his friends. Gragg has eiyht children, three of whom are adults. He lived in Eastern Washington 30 years, and has always been frugal in his living and aystemious in his habits, The charge of insanity is general- ly ridiculed by his friends. During the first few days after his return he acted like a love sick boy, and told the story of his marriage to ev- ery one he met. His divorced wife lives near Spokane. ——_-— Quay Lacks Votes. Philadelphia North American, 7th. Quay’s friends no lenger pretend to be adle to name enough State Senators and Representatives to re- elect Quay to the Senate or to con- trol either branch of the Legislature. Ina list of members published yesterday, pretending to show the present strength of Quay, he was given 22 Senators, four less than a majority of the Senate; 96 Repre- sentatives, six less than a majority of the House; a total in both branches of 118, nine less than a majority on joint ballot. Three Senators and five Repre- sentatives are classed as doubtful. Anti-Quay Republicans are conceda- ed 12 Senators and 53 Representa- tives; Democrats, 13 Senators and 49 Representatives, a combined to- tal of 127 oa joint ballot, a majority ol one, Even if the machine were to gain every vote classed in this Jist as doubtiul, it would control neither branch nor the joint ballot for Sena- tor. Theabove statement comes from the same source as a previous one ip which Quay was credited witha clear majority of members. By way of excuse for this mani- fest shrinkage of machine strength, local Quayites are quoted as declar- ing “that in the above list there are anti Quayites, Democrats and doubt- fuls who can be relied upon to vote for Quay” and bring his total up te enouga to elect. The entire claim for Quay, how- ever, is discredited by the fact that even to bring him within nine votes of election his calcuiators have been compelled to count for him such Representatives as Godcharles, of Northumberland; Arnold, of Per- ry, aud the three Washington mem- pers. Each of the five has publicly declare he will neither enter the cau- cus nor vote for Quay. Others in the alleged Quay list are uo less tirmiy committed to vote against bim. The assertion that any Democrats can be induced to sup- port Quay is best answered by the unbroken anti-Quay ‘recorc of the Democrats in the last session. Anti-Quay Republicans still in- sist that Quay cannot get more than 96 caucus pledges, and that, giving him every possible dbubtful vote he could not muster more than 111 on joint ballot. a An Elephant Too Big for Tunnels. Charleston, S. C., Dispatch, 7th. An elephant consigned to a show- man in Baltimore :s being held here by the Plant System official because the car in which the animal travels is too large to pass through the big tunnels near Baltimore. The ele- phant was delivered to the Plant System at Albany, Ga., and the car had to be transferred here to the At- lantic Coast Line. Tke Coast Line and the Southern Railway both re- fused to accept the offering, as the car was too big.

Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, declared that prohibition had been a failure wherever it had beer tried. Never- theless, he said, he would vote for the amendment. Mr. Hay, of Vir- vinia, favored the amendment. Aside from the question of temper- ance, he believed it was wrong for the government to engage in the sale of liquor. He was opposed to throwing temptation in the direct path of young men who entered the arn.y. He asserted that the evidence of the army officers was not alto vether on one side of the question. (A pplause.) Mr. Littiefield contended tkat pro- nibition in Maine made for morality and temperance. The amendment was adopted, 159 to 51. Many members of the Wo- men’s Christian Temperance Union were in the gallery and loudly ap- plauded the result. i Mr. Fitzgerald then proposed an amendment to prohibit the sale of liquor in the capitol building. Mr. Hull mace the point of order that the amendment was not germane. Mr. Fitzgerald said that if the soldiers were to be prevented from drinking oa the premises of the United States members of Congress should vot be allowed to drink in tke capitol. The chair sastained the point of order, whereupon Mr. Wil- liams, of Mississippi, asked unani- mous consent that Mr. Fitzgerald be allowed to offer his amendment. *T object,’ said Mr. Shattuc, of Ohio. Mr. Kluttz, of North Carolina, moved to strike out the section for the retirement of General Shafter as a major general. He was opposed, he said, to the promotion and retire ment of ofticers. Tbe motion pre- vailed, 131 to 100. Mr. Jett then moved to strike cut the next section which was designed to retire General titzbugh Lee and General James H. Wilson, as brigadier generals, and it also prevailed. There was no di- vision on this motion. This com- pleted the bill, which was then re- ported to the House, where »Ir. Mc- Clellan, of New York, moved to re- commit the bill with instructions to report back a bill extending the present law until July. 1905. The motion to recommit was lost, 6S to 48. Two Republicans, Mr. Mc- Call, of Massachusetts, and Mr. Mann, of Illinois, voted with 66 mem- bers of the opposition for this mo- ‘ion. Many Democrats voted with the Republicans against this motioa. ’ A roll call was demanded for the final passage of the bill. The bill was passed, 166 to 133. —_— Brg standing Army Raleigh News aud Observer, Senator Jones is quoted as saying that the Democrats in the Senate will not resort to needless speeches or filibustering tacties to defeat measures that they oppose which are in keeping with the pledges made by the Republican party in the campaigu ‘The country,’ he said, “has apparently indorsed Re- publicin polictes,’’ and he added: “| believe in majority rule and am opposed to resorting to delay to emphasize our opposition to every Republican measure. I do not thinx the Democrats will be dispos ed to employ such tactics on any of the measures now discussed unless it is the proposition tor a permanent increase in the standing army. We will fight that to the end. We will zive the President just as many volunteer soldiers as are necessary. dul to add to the permanent estab lishment is an entirely different question, and | believe the majority of the people of the country are op- posed to it.’ That correctly expresses the true Democratic position. During the campaign when the Democrats charged that the Republicans want- ed to saddle a big standing army os the country, they denied it vebe- mently and said such talk was“‘rot.”’ They thereby pledged themselves not to establisb a large standing army. And yet, before the shouts of victory had diedaway, they were preparing a bill to make the stand ing army four times as large as ever before. “*We will fight that to the eud’” says Senator Jones.

The American people, however, were not going to allow any obstacle, no matter how serious, to stand in the way. He believed that the administration that would undertake to build the canal, knowing that to do so meant war, would be endorsed by the people:at large by a bigger majority than that whica McKinley received over Bryan in the last election.

Then Shields 4 Mysterious Crime in a West Vir-| Man on the “Field of Honor.” j An article in The Junior Munsey | by Joho R. Spears describes some famous American duels. The com- | bats between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, Commodvre Ste- pben Decatur and Commodore James | Barron, Commodore Perry and Cap- tain John Heath, Henry Clay and} Joun Randolph, Jonathan Cilley and William J. Graves, General are all described by Mr. Spears, but the most interesting {narratives are In this intreduction Mr. Spears says: “Duelling has had marked influ- although it has never held the es- teem that it once received in Europe. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about American duels was their The meet- jags were not conventional affairs, Genera! Corbin, Mr. Littlefield read .for oftener than not their ending was fatal. This probably did much condemning the cantene|to bring the practice into disrepute. *‘Prom Andrew Jackson, the most ifamous American duelist, to Abra- jam Lincoln, who once accepted a challenge to fight a duel which his ready wit turned intoa farce, near- ly all these personal combats have vrown out of politics. A notable exception was what have-been call- ed the Mediterranean duels, where- in many young American naval ofli- cers fought British officers for ‘the honor of the fla x.’ “Of those Americans who have played parts on what was called the ‘tield of honor’ Andrew Jackson must come first, because no man. of equal fame as he has fought so many duels as he. It may besaid he be- van his public career by fighting a duel over a well-smoked piece of ‘fennessee bacon. “The future President of the Uni- ted States was then—it was fin Au- gust 1788—a lawyer who had reach- ed the mature ave of 21. He was opposed in acase by Col. Waight- still Avery. Jackson thought to have a little backwoods fun and deft. ly removed from Avery’s saddle- bags ‘Bacon's Abridgements,’ a standard work to which he always ceferred in court and substituted a piece of Tennessee bacon for the vook. Avery unrolled the chunk of meat in the courthouse in Jonesboro, Tepn., greatly to the wonder and amazement of the spectators. ‘Instead of joining in the laugh- ter Colonel Avery turned on Jackson and ferociously denounced him. Jackson immediately tore a fly leaf from a law book and wrote a chal- lenge, witha P. S. that said: ‘“‘This evening after court adjourned.”’ ‘He undoubtedly meant to write ‘has adjourned,’ but he was too an- gry to be accurate. He was also too angry to shoot straight when the colonel met him that evening after sunset ina ravine behind the courthouse, for he missed his man. Jackson having also escaped unhurt, the trouble was smcothed over by the seconds. “Tn 1803 Jackson called out Gov- ernor Joha Sevier, of Tennessee, out the meeting was what a vera- cious caronicler called a brawl in- stead of a duel—plenty of talk, but 20 bloodshed. ‘Jackson’s third duel was fought in 1806, and it was this affair that dlaces him among the most notable of American duellists. Jackson was liying at the Hermitage on Neely’s bend of the Cumberland river and aad some trouble with a neighbor aamed Erwin over a horse race in which both were irterested. Er win did notcare to fight, but his sOn-in-law, Charles Dickerson, de- cermined totake up the affront. He went to Natchez, Miss., and for six months spent his days in practicing with a pistol. Then he wrote a let- ter to Jackson in which, among other exasperating things he men- tioned the name of Mrs. Jackson. This immediately called forth a challenge, of which Ger. Thomas Overton was the bearer. Jackson’s letter of instructions ended with these words: ‘Accept no apology; aothing but his blood will satisfy me.’ “They fought on May 30, 1806, at Harrison’s Mills, Ky. Dickerson, who was as eager for blood as Jack- son, and quite as confident of shed- ding it, offered to wager $500 that ne would strike the second from the top in a row of buttons that Gener al Jackson wore on his coat. Jack- son heard of the offer and immedi- ately decided on aremarka! e course of action. To stand in his place and let Dickerson shoot first. “Dickerson won the toss for posi- tion. General Overton save the word and Dickerson fired. The spectators saw a putt of dust knock- ed from Jackson's left, but Jackson did not fall, and Dickerson was so tnuch astonished that he half stag- wered, half stepped away. Jackson, with his eyebrows drawn down, placed his arm firmly across his breast, while Gen. Overton shouted to Dickerson, ‘Back to vour place, sir. ‘Dickerson came back with blanch- ed face and averted eyes. Jackson raised his pistol, pulled the trigger and gave Dickerson a mortal wound. When Overton came to see how badly Jackson was hurt. he found that Dickerson had hit the button he had proposed to hit and it had turned the bullet aside, as Jackson tad believed it would. The force of the blow broke two of Jackson’s ribs. ‘In later years (during the Flor- ida war) General Jackson challenged General Scott, but Scott refused to fight aduel. He said a duel was not necessary to prove the courage of either GeneralJackson or himself, and that bis conscience would not permit him to engage in any such affair. It comes with a shock when one Hirst hears that the kindly, patient, joke-loving Lincoln went out to tight a duel once upon a time. And it is all the more remarkable that he should have done so when it is re membered that he was a citizen of Illinois at the time. For Illinois people had never theught well of such doings. In fact they had not fought a duel, since 1820, when a man named Bennett was hanved for ee another named Stewart in a due One James Shields, a man of ‘“‘in- ordinate vanity,’’ and with an “ex- tremely sensitive nature’’ as- well, was elected auditor of the State on the Democratic ticket. The turkey- cock ways of the little man made him the subject of endless ridicule onthe part of the Whigs. Lincoln published a letter that was ostensi- bly written from ‘‘Loss Towaships’’ —a letter that roiled Shields exceed- ingly, although it was manifestly : written for pbdlitical effect. It was Armis- | tead T.

The correspondence and detailed accounts written by the participants 'show that Shields’ second was in- tent on scaring Lincoln into an ab- | ject apology, but he found that he} was yapping at the heels of the | wrong mastiff. Iv is plain that Lincoln did not | the circumstances he was not going to be bullied by an opponent like The Secretary of War is! those of the duels of Presidents Jack- | Shields. Very likely the fact that y ‘soa and Lincoln quoted below. | Mary Todd was, ina way, involved }in the controversy made him feel |ooiiged to tight, if a fight was de- jmanded. Accordingly as Mr. ‘tute was offered, he said, was prac- ence upon the history of this nation, | Shields did insist, Lincoln accepted the challenge, and here are the terms as he wrote them: First, Weapons—Cavalry broad- swords of the largest size, previsely equalin all respects, and such as are now used by the cavalry com- pany at Jacksonville. Second, Position—A plank 10 feet long and from 9 to 12 iaches broad, to be firmly tixed on edge on the ground as the line between us which neither isto pass his foot over on forfeit of his life. Next, a line drawn on the ground on either side of the said plank and parallel with iteachata distance of the whole length of the sword and three feet additionai from the plank, and the passing of his own such line by either party during the fight shail ve deemed a surrender of the con- test. The meeting place was within three miles of Alton, on the opposite side of the river and the time 5 © clock in the afternoon of Thursday, September 22nd, 1842. The two parties went to the appointed place, which Mr. Lincoln said had been “‘most appropriately selected,’’ be- ing within sight of the penitentiary, whereat there was a laugh in spite of the seeming vravity of the situ- ation. When Shields saw the amus- ed unconcern of the giant Lincoln, and then ‘‘hefted’’ one of the broad- swords, he turned a listening ear to the common friends who arrived just then to propose an amicable adjustment. ‘-[ did notintendto meet Shields unless Idid so clearly in self de feuse.’’ said Lincoln afterward. “‘If it had been necessary I could have split him from the crown of his head to the end of his backbone.’ = - 2-2 A Fightin South Africa. London Dispatch, 7th.

The State Board of Agriculture at its session in Raleigh last week adopted the following resolutions: “The board of agriculture shall forbid the sale of fertilizers and fertilizing material not coming up tothe following minimum require- ments: First, any complete fertili- zer containing phosporic acid, am- monia and potash does not amount toll per centum when dded to- gether; second, any fertilizer ‘con- taining phosphoric acid and potash when the sum of available phospho- ric aci@ and ammonia does not amount tol0 per centum when ad- ded together; third, any fertilizer containing phosphoric acid and am- monia when the sum of available phosphoric acid and ammonia does not amouat to 10 per centum when added tovether; fourth,auy fertilizer containing ammonia and _ potash when the sum of ammonia and pot- ash does not amount to 10 per cen- tum when added together; fifth, any acid phosphate which contains less than 10 per centum of available phosphoric acid, and, provided fur- ther, no mixed fertilizer of any kind shall be sold which contains less than 2 per centum of either ammo- nia or potash or both when they ace claimed in the same fertilizer.’’ The penalty for the violation of these requirements isa payment of twice the amount indicated by the deficiency. A Congrzssman Who Was Once Sen- tenced to be Hanged. Wm. E. Curtis in Chicago Record, 7th. Among the seven new members of the House of Representatives who will take the oath of office tomorrow morning is a man who was once sen- tenced to be hanged—the hero of one of the most exciting episodes of the civil war. In 1863 a young Con- federate from Alabama named Wili- liam Richardson was captured by the Federal forces in ('nuessee and taken toa prisoners camp in [ndi- ana. He made his escape and vot back to Nashville, where he had rel- atives who sympathized with the re- pellion and arranged for him to go tt: ugh the Union lines with a Con- federate spy known as ‘“*Mr. Paut.”’ The couple were captured by Gener- al Crittenden’s forces, taken to his headquarters at Murfreesboro, and, after trial before adrum-head court- martial, were sentenced to ignomin- ious death by hanging, whicb is the fate of spies, who, under the rules of warfare, do not deserve honorable ceath by shooting. In some manner the news was brought to Gen. Forest—47 wiles away—that one of the most valuable men in the secret service of the Con- sederacy was about to be hanged by Gen. Crittenden, and an hour or two before daylight on the morning ap-| pointed for the execution Forest sur- | prised Crittenden’s forces, demoral- | izing them, killing a yood many and| taking a large number of prisoners. During the fight *-Mr. Paul’? and youog Richardson manaved to es- cape.

Mr. Wohl and his house- keeper, Mrs. Levine, Mr. Wot!'s! family being in Kentucky. Mr. Stokes stopped at the gate to taik with Mrs. Levine, who stood in her doorway. Within a few minutes the minister came out of the house. He seemed to be greatly excited about something and said to Mrs. Levine as he passed her at the door: “You would be much better at present in the house.”’ She laughingly replied that the day was far too pretty to be spent entirely within doors and Mr. Stokes interrupted by remarkine. ‘Yes, don't think of leaving us for the house.” Quick as a flasb Mr. Wohl turned, and addressing Stokes, said: ‘‘Leave the premises.” An altercation followed. Both men ran to the sidewalk directiy in front of the bouse. Something was said, almost indistinguishable, that drew from Rev. Mr. Wokl a harsh retort. ‘*You are a liar,” and in au instant the report of a revolver was heard. Stokes stumbled, tried to regain his footing, but fell in the street. Wounded as he was, he drew his revolver and covered the minis- ter, now within ten feet of his fallen foe. Again Wobl tired, and simuita- neously with that shot, the gun in the sinking hand of Stokes spoke. When the smoke cleared away two men lay in their own blood upon the sidewalk. A crowd ran to the scene. Mr. Wohl was dead. Chance had carried the bullet from Stokes’ pis- tol through the head of the minister, killing him as he fell. J he bullet had entered Stokes’ side below the heart and passed entirely through his body, In the hall of the minister’s home, facing the fearful duel to the death. across the doorway, was found Mrs. Levine. It was at first thougnt she was dead, and had provably veen shot, but an investigation showed that she had only fainied from frivht, Up to a late hour this evening Mr. Stokes has refused to say anything concerning the terrible travedy, and Mrs. Levine isin toomuch of a state of excitement totalk.

The cotton stood the dry weather well, and ap- peared green and luxuriant while tields of the ordinary variety were wilted and sbrivelled up. Mr. Phifer thinks that in this cotton he has a variety that will prove a blessing to the South. Next year he will plant his entire plantation in this seed, and if the result justifies his expec- tations, will put the seed on the mar- ket.

Fremont, Neb., dispatch, ryth. Because his wife has taunted him continuously with his silver views and the defeat of W. J. Bryan, John M. Brogman, a wealthy farmer, liv- ing pear Fremont, has tiled suit for divorce. Brogman recites that his life has becn unbearable since the defeat of Bryan by the jibes of his wife. She had been actively ridiculing his po- litical views since Bryan was de feated the first time, but he bore with her for four yearsin the firm belief that he would have a chance in 1900 of turning the tables on his wife. Now that this poor satisfac- tion is denied him, he wants what redress the divorce courts caa se- cure bim. Mr. Kiuttz on the Re-apportionment Washington Post, 4th. The question of apportionment sits heavily on many a State delega- tion in the House these days. It is diseussed among members every- where, and the fiddling for advan- tage is spirited. The leaders on the Republican side are adverse to in- creasing the membership, but they will meet with resistance. A plan in favor with them is a member for every 208,400 population. That would keep the membership at about 306, a8 at present. Representative Kluttz, of North Carolins, @ member of the census committee. says he has no fear of the passage of the Crumpacker bill, which is the most conspicuous meas- ure yet offered for apportionment. *‘T do not believe, ’’ he declares, ‘‘that the bill will ever get out of the House census committee, which. as a law, would be both unfair aud unconsti- tutional. The constitutionality of North Carolina’s franchise law is not yet settled, and the constitution of the United States expressly pro- vides that apportionment shal! be according to population. There is a large negro vote in Indiana, which bill is intended to cater to Northern sentiment.”’ > The State’s Taxable Property. Raleigh News and Observer, 13th. Reports from eighty-eight counties of the State have been received at the Auditor’s office. In seventy of these there is an increase in the val- uation of the realand personal prop- erty of $8,598,596, over the valuation of 1599. Eighteen of the counties show a decrease amounting to $688,132 from the report in 1899. The net increase returned so far is $7,910.464. It is safe to estimate that the remaining reports when in will show a total in- crease of approximately nine mil- lions. The increase for 1899 over 1898 was $18,000,000, which is $10,000,000 more than that of 1900 over 1899. The increase of 1898 oyer 1897 was only $2,760,410. The largest increase of any one county was in Durham courty, which returns a valuation greater by $700,000 than in 1899. The great. est decrease shown was Beaufort, the decrease being $152,815, the next being Polk, which shows a decrease of $129,935. The counties from which no returo has been received are Wake, Vance, Surry, Mitchell, Haywood, Harnett, Greene, and Granville.

The legislative committee yester diy practically completed its exam)- nation of the State Treasurers ooks. Th's morning they will make out \their report, and commence the ex-| amination of the Auditor’s books. | This will probably take only about one day. The committee in 1ts report on the books of the State Treasurer will disapprove of twp warrants that have been paid—one for several thousaod dollars, drawn for the sup- port of tbe crimina! insane, and one for $831.15 paid to Theophilus White on a mandamus from the Su- preme ccurt. The payment of the money to sup port the criminal insane is disap- proved only on the ground that there is no law forit. The failure to make the appropriation being due simply to an oversight on the part of the last Levislature, the committee re cognizes that its payment was a nec cessity, and will, inits report to the next Legislature, recommend that the Treasurer be allowed the amount thus paid out. The payment of Theophilus White's claim, however, is quite another matter, and the committee will, in its reports, on the books, disapprove of both the issuance of the warrant by the Auditor and its payment by the Treasurer. In its report to the Lev- islature the committee will vo more fully into the matter, sett- ing forth the particulars in which the payment of the claim was illegal and in the mandamus by the court ordering itin violation of the Con- stitution. It will probably be on this report thatthe matter of impeachment will come before the Legislature. if it comes up at all. In their investivation of this mat ter the meinbers of the committce called upon Col. Kenan, clerk of the Supreme court, questioned him in regard to the issuance of the manda- mus, took a copy of it and other records ia regardto payment of the claim. They also questioned the Auditor and ascertained by what authority he issued the warrant. Another interesting fact revealed by the committee's examination of the books is that Governor Russell has, during the past two years, paid out in extra attorney's fees and costs somewhere between $21,000 and $22.000. -—- Cat Mummies for Fertilizers Philadelphia North A:merican The crew of the British steamship Thyra, now in port from Probolingo, Java, with a eargo of suyar, tells of a unique trade inembalmed cats ear- ried on between Egyptian ports in toe Red Sea and Suez, a trade which has attained such proportions that several small vessels are regularly engaged therein. The native pilot engaged for the Thyraat Aden, Arabia, called the captain’s attention toadhow, which, ke said, was laden with cats that had been dead several thousand years. First Officer McDonald, of the Thyra, at once became interest- ed in the statement, Naturally he assumed that agreat find of mummified remains of sacred cats kad been made, but he was startled when the steamship reached Suez to see what disposition was be- icg made of the feline mummies. It appears that a vast number of mummv cases were lately discovered ov land .zased by a French coloniza- tion company. When opened these eases were found to contain de- funct felines ia a remarkable state of preservation, and from the in- scriptions on the cases it was decid- ed that their light had gone out in that remote period when the pyra- mids themselves were young. To the horror, however, of the mate and his fellow Egyptologists of the Thyra, he learned that the colonization company, being devoid of sentiment, was vrinding cats into fertilizer and doing al arge business. According to the information ob tained in Suez, the company has had by this singular means reclaimed an extensive area of land on the shores of the Red Sea, which now yield rich crops. eg ener tobbers Dynamite a Bank. Shaesville, Oh10, Dispatch, 14th. Four masked men, discovered in the act of dynamiting the vaults of John Deerschuck’s private bank ear- ly today, drove off all who attempt- ed to interfere and vot away with between $3,000 and $4,000. An ex- plosion of nitro glycerine about 3 a. m. awakened Jokn Rodess, who liv- ed opposite the Doerschuck bank. Rhodes saw two men working at the vault doors, while two others stood guard atthe main entrance of the bank building. Rhodes, revolver in hand, rushed into the street and was met by a volley from the sentinels. He held his ground, however, until his weapon was empty. Mary Knowles, a relative of Banker Doer- schuck, heard the shooting and rais ed a window of her room, only to draw the fire of the robbers, Dozensof inbabitants appeared by this time, but most of them were unarmed and were forced to conceal themselves by the shower of bullets which yreeted every new comer. In the course of half an hour the robbers managed to move the doors of the vault and pried open the money drawers. They hastily dumped all the specie into bags and leaving the bank, backed through the streets to the tracks of the Cleveland and Lake Erie road. A band car was secured and the men disappeared toward Baltic. A trace of blood was found lead- ing from the bank. Alarms were sent outin all dir2ctions by tele- phone. A few hours laterit was an- nounced that the hand car had been found abandoned between here and Baltic. Blood hounds were secured and a large posse at once started on the trail. It is believed the gany is the same one which recently looted a bank at Seville. The most effective little liver pills made are DeWitt’s Little Kar- ly Risers. They never gripe. W. eases. W. F.

General Cle- ment’s forces were compeiled to re- tire by Commandant Delarey ‘vith a force of 2.500 men. Four British otticers were killed. The otber ca: ualties were vot reported. Lord Kitchener’s official dispatch to the War Office is as follows. “Pretoria, Deo. 12. “Clement's force at Nooitge- dacht. on the Magaliesburg, was at- tacked at dawn today, by Delarey, re enforced by Beyers’ commando from Warmbath, making a force es timated at 2,500. Though the first attack was repulsed, the Boers man aged to get ontop of the Magalies burg, which was held by four com- panies of the Northumberland Fu- siliers, and were thus able to com- mand Clement’s camp. He retired on Hekpoort and took upa pesition on a hill ip the center of the valley. “The casualties have not been completely reported. but the fighting was very severe. and I deeply re gret that Coionel Legge, of the Twentieth Hussars, and Captains McBean, Murdoch and Atkins were killed. Re-enforeemeuts have left bere,”’ Lord Kitchener also reports that the Boers made an attack and were repulsed at Lichtenburg, and that General Letmer was killed. At- tacks upon Bethlehem and Vrede were also repulsed, the Boers losing 10 killed and 14 wounded. Vryheid was attacked December 1ltn. Snip- ing continued when the messaye was dispatched. The scene of the fight is cminous- ly close to Pretoria. Nooitgedacht is only 22 miles northwest of Pre- toria. Itis reported that General Kuox, co-operating with the Brit- ish column, at Reddersburg, has stopped General Dewet and that a battle is proceeding. The report adds that many of General Dewet’s followers have been captured. The scenes at the War Office today re- call those witnessed in the early stages of the war. A constant stream of excited and anxious peo- ple filled the lobbies. The absence of the names of any of the officers of the Northumberland Fusiliers in Geueral Kitchener’s dispatch leads to the foreboding that tne four com- panies of the Fusiliers mentioned are in the hands of the Boers. The War Office officials evidently expecta heavy casualty list, but they are hopeful from the fact that thedispatch does not mention the capture of the Northumberlands, that. such a great catastrophe has been escaped. Orders were issued at Aldershot, Malta and other mili- tary centres to dispatch all the available mounted infantry for South Africa. > Population of South Carolina Towns. Washington Dispatch, 14th.

THE FIRST}PUTY OF THE LEGIS~ LATURE. : The expenses of the State govern ment of North Carolina have more than doubled the last twenty years, while the population of the State } . . aa cent. and the taxable property less in has increased less tnan 40 per than 50 per cent. within the same period. During the year just closed the State’s expenses) have exceeded the we than $170,000. The first duty of the Legisiature, as revenueg me we see it, is to reduce expenditures, or at least not increase them, so that the State’s revenues will meet the expenditures without additional taxes. For all of the talk of pros- perity, taxes were never harder to pay than now, and reduced tax re- ceiptsin the hands of the people will be the very best possible Demo- cratic campaign documents for 1902. Notwlthstanding the deficit in the State treasury, one of the State’s charitable and educational institutions are clamoring for larger appropriations. The Morganton Hospital wants aearly a quarter ot million dollars additional, and the negro insane asylum, at Goldsboro. asks for £50,000 in addition to what every it received last year. The Univer- sity, the A. & m. College and the State Normal! will not be backward in demanding increased and _ addi- tional appropriations when the Leg- islature meets. We know that the legislator who talks of economy will be counted a a demagogue, time has come niggard and called but we believe the when tke seductive pleadings ot polished college presidents and clever hospital superintendents should be met witn firm denials. If it can be done without burdensome- ly increasing the people’s taxes, more money should be given to the public schools. In less than eight years white boys becoming 21 years old must be able to read and write before they will be allowed to vote, and the Democratic party is pledged to give longer and better schools so that these boys may qualify them. selves for cit.zenship. This pledge must be fulfilled and the party’s faith with the people fully kept. To do this and not increase taxes, the most rigid economy must prevail at the coming session of the Legisla- ture. We notice that The Landmark is still fighting over the Senatorial! contest. That contest engendered much bitterness and caused many divisions among Democrats, and the dest party policy would seem to be to allow the bitterness to die out and the divisions to heal. But is it not The Land mark’s purpose tostil] further divide the party and keep alive factional feeling? mr. Sim- Mons is now the nominee of the party for Senator and will soon be elected. It issaid that the Repub- licans will try to prevent his admis- sion to the Senate. Is the ante- election opposition of The Landmark to Mr. Simmons caused by a desire Onits part to aid this alleged Re- pu blican scheme to thwart the will of the people of North Carolina? The Legislature will levy a spe- cial tax upon the property and polls of Iredell county to pay the interest on the money borrowed to build the court house and provide a fund to pay off the debt. This tax is a ne- cessity. The court house has been built andthe men who loaned the county the money to build it must be repaid. The writer isa member of the Legislature. As such, he will not support any new proposi- tion to tax the people of the county, unless the bill provides for the Sub- mission of the proposition to the vote of the people of the county, and we believe we can say the same for our colleague, Dr. Stevenson. oa oo The Durham Sun says there are between 23,000 and 24,000 people in the suburbs of Durham.

Indianapolis,Ind., Dispatch. 16th. | | A special to The Sentinel from | Rockport, Ind., says: Two negroes, | Jim Henderson and Bud Rowlands, ; who waylaid, brutally murdered and | robbed Hollis Simons, a white bar- ber, early this morning, were lynch- ed in the jail yard by a mobof 1,000 frenzied citizens, tonizht. The ne groes were arrested early _and al- though fowlands’ clothing — hac | vlood stains on it, the men claimed they were innocent of the crime. In the meantime, Sheri‘? Clements, of Union county, Ky., arrived with a trained bloodhound in response to a telegraphic summons. When the dog was placed on the trail, he fol lowed it until he reached the house where the Rowlands live. six blocks from the scene of the murder, and went baying to the bed where the neyro had been. This was enough forthe excited citizens. Within a few minutesa mob of a thousand howling, blood-thirsty citizens, with sledge hammers, ropes. and a were running to the jail. rerifi Anderson and his two deputies made astandand attempted to protect the prisoner. The officers were seized by the leaders of the mob. who disarmed them. The sheriif was then locked ina room and _plac- ed under guard, but he stoutly re- fused to give up the keys or tell where the prisoners were bidden. Failing to vet the keys, the mob made a determined but unsuccessful attempt to break in the jail door. 3y this time the would-be lynchers were in a perfect frenzy and secur- ing a telegraph pole they used it as a battering ram, and caved in the side wall of the jail. The door of 2owland’s cell was then quickly broken in with sledges and he was dragged fromthe jail to the east side of the court yard, where a nogse was placed around his neck. He was given time to make a statement in which he implicated Jim Hender- son and another negro. Rowlands then begged piteously for mercy, but the mob swiftly swung the con- fessed murderer toa tree and rid- dled his body with bullets. Leaving the body of Rowlands dangling from the limb of the tree, the mob rushed back to the jail and attempted to burst open the cell occupied by Henderson but before the steel bars yielded to the blows of the sledges, some one in the crowd fired upon the terrified negro as he crouched in the corner of his cell. A few moments more and the door of the cell was broken in. The negro, more dead than alive, was dragged at a rope’s end to the court house yard and swuny on the tree beside the body of Rowlands. Firing a parting volley at the swinging bodies, the mob, eager for another victim, hurried away to catch the other negro implicated by Rowlands in his confession. He was found at a hotel where he was employed asa porter. The negro escaped to the roof of the building and Manager DeBrule succeeded in convincing the mob that the porter had nothing todo with the crime, proving an alibi for him. The mob then dispersed apparently satisfied with its awful work of vengeance The negroes’ victim, Simons, was waylaid and murdered in the most brutal manner, one square from the main street of the city, as he was going to his hora® from his barber shop at 2 o’clock this morning. As was customary with him, he carried the receipts of the day at his place of business. The negroes were aware of this and evidently laid their plans accordingly. Crouching behind a fence, they awaited their victim and jumped from their place of concealment and attacked him from behind, striking him over the head with a heavy club with a large nail driyen into the end of it. Al- though terribly beaten, Simons made a desperate fieht and his cries and struggles soon attracted two boys, who went to his assistance, but they werea moment too late, the victim of the two negroes hav- ing succumbed to the terrible beat- ing, lying dead at their feet. The murderers then drove the would-be rescuers away and accomplished their original design, that of rob- bery, securing a bag containing something over $40 from the pros- trate form of their victim and made their escape. Simons was terribly beaten, his skull crushed in, his head and face beatea into a pulp. Four gaping wounds showed where the spike on the club had punctured the dead man’s skulland penetrated his brain. Walter Evans, one of the young men who attempted to save Simons’ life and who afterwards assisted in the removing of the dead man’s re- mains to his home, was greatly at- fected and almest suffered nervous collapse. Tonight he witnessed the lynching and is now a raving mani- ac. The dead man’s widow is_pros- trated and it is belieyed she will die from the shock. Hollis Simons came here from Winslow, Ind., three years ago and was a popular young man. STILL ANOTHER STRUNG UP, Booneville, Ind., Dispatch, 16th. John Rolla, the third of the color- ed men implicated in the murder of Hollis Simons, was hung to a tree in the court house yard by a mob of about 100 men from Rockport, this evening. Two of his companions were lynched at Rockport, last night for the samecrime. Not ashot was tired and everything was conducted as quietly as if the execution had been one under the sanction of the law. Rolla was brought to this place this afternoon in charge of Sheritf Anderson, of Rockport. Upon his arrival he was placed in a cellon the second floor of the jail and his pres- ence was known only to a few cit izens. A few minutes after six o'clock a body of 100 men marched | through the principal street to the jail and demanded the prisoner. in charge of the jail. He declined, to giveup the keys and the mob! then began to batter in the wali) with a telegraph pole.

Miss Fannie Sprinkle had a nar- row escape from a horriole death at the Salisbury cotton mills, and nothing saved her but main and al- most superhuman strergth. Miss Sprinkle was at her usual work in the mill when her dress caught between the pulleys and spinning frames. In an instant she braced herself against a frame, and the desperation of the situation gave her almost superhuman strength. By this very act ske saved her life, and at the same time stopped six- teen spinning framesand caused one of the large belts in the mill to drop off.

We mentioned last week that a new furniture factory for our town vas discussed at the last chamber of commerce meeting, Tuesday night of last week, and that the capital would likely beraised. Mr. W. A. Thomas brought the proposition before the chamber at its last meet- ing and considerable interest and enthusiasm wasevinced. The enter- prise is now assured as more than the £20,000 capital proposed has al- ready been subscribed and a charter will soon be applied for from the State government. The best business men of States- ville and vicinity are among the takers of stock, some of them men of experiencein the lumber busi- ness. Among the stockholders of the new factory are Messrs. W. A. Thomas, F. A. Sherrill, W. F. Wall and Judge A. L. Coble. It is pro- posed to purchase a convenient site at once and take other steps neces- sary to the erection of the new buiiding, which will probably be completed and put inoperatiou next spring. There is no better location in the South for furniture manufacturing and our business men are quick to see its advantages as was shown by the short time taken to raise the capital for the new factory.

From time when ‘‘memory of man unneta not to the contrary’ the western storekeeper and -gauyer has been an unpopular personage in north Iredell. Last week we chron- icled the fact tbat one of this spe- cies, J. N. Snelson by name, was making the circuit of the north Ire dell distilleries, which were shutting dow. as fast as he reached thew We have since learned that Snelson has departed and that north Iredell will know him no more. It seems that last Friday night soon after dark as Snelson was returning frem his work at S. B.. Hick’s distillery in Eagle Mills township to Mr. Berry Danner’s, where he boarded, he was waylaid on the road by three men aud pretty badly used up, was knocked down and cutfed about con- siderably. He was bruised up a good deal, but received no serious injuries. We hear that he says that these men sprang on him suddenly from the road and that he was un- able to recognize any ‘of them. He was in bed all Saturday and Sun- day he left for Asheviile. a Run Over By 2a Wagon Mr. J. A. Bass, who lives in the western part of town was run over by Ramsey, Tomlin & Bowles’ dray wagonTuesday night about 7 o'clock. Mr. Bass, who was on horseback in tne alley back of Hall’s drug store, was struck by the wagon and knock- ed off his horse. He received a pretty severe blow on the head and several bruises. one side of his face being skinned up from his being dragged along the ground a short distance before the team could be stopped. The accident was unavoid- able as the alley is not lighted and neither Bass nor the negro driver of the dray could see each other. It is fortunate that no more serious damage was done. —— Fleminz-Plyler.

No feature of the Sunday school is so highly fascinating to the juve- nile mind as the Christmas tree. Before its glory even the all day picnic inthe woods with unlimited cake and lemonade pales into insig- nificance. Nothing can so rapidly and marvelously increase the attend- ance as the announcement,six weeks in advance, that the school will have 2 Christmas tree. The children do enjoy it and children of an older growth can find much pleasure in watching the little ones’ enjoyment. Two of our Sunday schools, that of Trinity and Front Street Chapel, thus gladdened the hearts of their little pupils this year. Monday night the children of Front Street Chapel were made happy with the gifts from their tree. The tree at Trinity was shining with its waxen lights and glittering with its gifts on Christmas night. A large crowd was present and all the children were remembered. Bie Seat Glass Shattered by Dynamite. A stick of dynamite or a twine ball loaded with powder was fired by some lawless parties last Sunday morning about 20’clock on Meeting Street between Walton & Gave’s storeand J. M. Wilhelm’s Racket store. The explosion was very se- vere, jarring the adjacent buildings and shattering three of the large glass in Walton & Gaye’s windows fronting on Meeting street. The effect of the explosion was felt by citizens quitea distance from tbe scene. Policeman Karcher heard the explosion and hurried to Wal- ton’s corner but the law breakers had fled. A second explosion, less severe, followed about 15 or 20 minutes later and again the mis- creants escaped. Christmas night shortly after 10 o’clock an explosion in front of the old Wallace Bros. building on Broad street smashed four window panes in N. M. Flemming’sstore and cne inJ. M. Wilhelm’s. The jar from this was quite severe and was plain- ly felt at the Hotel Iredell. There is noclue to the parties in either case. We believe in overlooking small acts of boisterousness at Christmas times, as we think some men ought to be pardoned for a little supera- bundance of spirits on such occa- sions, but this goes past the limit and suck acts of lawlessness ard reckless disregard of others rights should be severely punished and we hope that the law breakers will be caught and severely deait with.

Christmas day passed off unusual- ly quiet for Statesville. There were no fights or drunks to disturb ‘“‘the peace, good order and quiet’’ of the town. The business houses closed down most of the day, only keeping open ashort while in the forenoon. There was some little shooting of crackers and a good deal of tooting of tin horns and ringing of cow bells, etc., but these little musical efforts on the part of tke boys, old and young, can well be overlooked on account of their pardonable exuber- ance of spirits on the occasion. Some few celebrated and got a iittle frappe, but nothing to burt, only “ventlemanly full,’’ as a colored friend sized it up. Everybody seemed in excellent humor, for which Christmas dinners and eyy noge were no doubt partly respon- sible with some of us. The small boy with hiscapacity for noise ma- oy times multiplied was very much in evidence, but he didn’t seem to disturb folks much, for in fact many of the graver citizens helped along the racket. In the afteenoon several of our young men fantastically costumed in red calico trousers and parti-colored coats and vests with hats of ancient vintaves bedecked with flowing rib- bons paraded the town playing in- struments as varied and battered as their costumes and with time and tune of still greater variety. Pla- cards informed the public that this was ‘‘Suze’s Band.”’ At first they used Morrison’s dray wagon asa band wagon but afterwards they made a marchiag tour through our priccipal streets. The members of this interesting ‘‘hobo band’’ were: Mr. Fred Barkley, leader and drum major and Messrs. R. -L. Flanigan, McRee Anderson, J. M. Brown, Irvin Bell, Dick Harbin., Will Gaith- er and Ross Barkley. Nothing cre- ated more amusements or made the day more like an old time Christmas than this innocent and pleasant re- production of ‘Ye Olde Time’”’ Yule Tide mummers. ——_ Sudden Death of Ex-Sheriff M. White. Reported for Tur Mascor. Ex-Sheritf Moses A. White died suddenly about 6 o’clock Thursday afternoon of paralysis of the heart. Mr. White was in his usual health and attended the sale at Mrs. Gay’s. While there he made arrangements with a lot of friends to take a big rabbit hunt Saturday. Onhis way home he stopped at the home of Geo. Gay to warm his feet. While sit- ting at the fire he complained of not feeling well but got up and got on his horse but before leaving lean- ed his head on his arm and Geo. Gay seeing he was not well took him off the horse and carried him in the house, but he died a few min- utes after being taken in. Mr. White was about 54 years old. He was born and raised in south Ire dell, but for many vears had lived about two miles east of Statesville He was twice married. His wife and several children survive him. Mr. White was sheriff of Iredell county from ‘94to ‘96. The funer- al took place from his residence Saturday moruipg and he was buried in the cemetery here. ‘*Mose White is dead!’” was what egrceted us, his friends, as we came to our places of business Friday morning—and the announcement was like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, for he had solately been amony us, but it was true and our friend had gone from among us. This writer had known him for 20 years and had been intimate with him. He was our friend as true. as kind and as faithful as ever friend was. We knew him well and God never made a nobler man. Honest in all his dealings with his fellow man, a kind father and devoted husband. Asa public officer he was one of the best this county ever had and performed all his duties faithfully. When we stood by his open coffin and looked at his calm and peaceful face as the tears ran down our cheeks, we could not help thinking that it was best. Life’s fretful fe- ver was over with him. There was no more sorrow. no more tears, no more trouble. He had been called over the river and on the other side the great God had kept the books, and so true a husband, so loving a father and so faithful a friend had nothing to fear. We that are left behind willdo the mourning, will shed the tears, and to us will come the trouble. But some day we will be called and then we shall see our friend again. God knows best and while he is gathering so many on the other shore he is ever maxing it easier for us to go. To his devoted wife, children ané friends we would say weep for him, for thatis our lot, but remember | God doth all things well and for our A Christmas passed off very quietly ; $004 and let us so live that when we 1 come to die we shall be assured that we shall meet him over there.

Thought His Time Had Come. H. A. Zickfoose, Hemlock, W. Va., says: Two years ago I was laid up with my liver. Ithought my time had come. I happened on to Ra- mou’s Liver Pills and used one box. Iamall right now. I have been feeling like another man since that time. For sale by N, R. Tunstall, Drugvist. The most effective little liver pills made are DeWitt’s Little Ear- lv Risers.

One Minute Cough Cure quickly cures coughs and colds and the worst cases of croup, bronchitis, grippe and other throat and lung troubles. W. F.

It is the on- ly preparation that digests all kinds of food. W. F. Hall, Jr. The mother of Judge Oliver H. Allen and of ex-Judge Wm. &. Alen, died at the home of the latter, in Goldsboro, Tuesday, aged 60 years. When you need a soothing and healing anti-septic application for any purpose. use the original De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, a well- known cure for piles and skin dis- eases. It heals sores without leav- inga scar. Beware of counterfeits. W.F. Hall, Jr, Now is the time when croup and luag troubles prove rapidly fatal. The only harmless remedy that pro- duces immediate results is One Min- ute Cough Cure. Itis very pleasant to take and can be relied upon to quickly cure coughs, colds and ail lung diseases. It will preyent con- sumption. W. ¥. Hall,Jr. The House passed the bill Satur- day to reduce the war revenue tax- es. The bill reduces taxes about $40,000,000. The Democras offered an amendmeng to reduce them about $70,000,000 and for-an incor: + tax so framed as to meet the objection of the Supreme Court, but the amend- ment was yoted down by a strict party vote.
