Kansas City, Sept. 28. "If ever a
people should pause; f evex they
should look ahead and profit by the
experience of others, should compre-

realties that are

other countries, it is now and we are

In those words Frank A. Vanderlip
of New York, addressing here today
the annual convention of the Ameri
can Bankers' Associat.on, warned h s
hearers that they shoild not take loo
easily the country's great wealth that
seems likely iO emerge us.
Rather he said, with an opportunity
such as no country ever hnd to lay

FAIR
Gastonia, Sept. 28. When the band
begins to play next Tuesday morning
at the opening of Gaston county's an
nual fair, which will be on for five
days, October 3rd to 7th, inclusive, ev
erything will be in readiness from the
smallest exhibit up to the magnifi
cent and brilliant midway. Secretary,
Holland has a big force of hands atj
work erecting the big tents which j
will house some of the exhibits, while)
a large force of carpenters is wind
ing up ths work on additinonal buil
dings for livestock, pigs, etc. Anoth
er large force has been busy in the
office for days past sending out lit
erature relative to the fair and list
ing entries. Indications aif now
that the cfclhibits of livestock and
pigs will be the largest ever got
ten together in one place in this sec
tion of the country. The interest be
ing manifested by the stock raisers
and farmers in general is far beyond
the most sanguine expectatiins of
the management a month ago. The
poultry exhibit is also expected to
be exceptionally fine as will be those
of the canning clubs, the home de
monstration clubs and other organi
zations. Under an immense tent,
60 by 270 feet, will be housed ex
hibits by local merchants and man
ufacturers which will surpass both
in magnitude and varied attractive
ness that of last year. Quite a num

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman's
tonic. She says further: "Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give

nsiitutions should be reduced: thev
do not show either waste or extrava
gance; they are simply following the
usual role of politicians a role that
is common to politicians of all par
ties trying to dissatisfy the people
and make them think they will profit
by a change.
So much by way of calling the at
tention of thoughtful voters to a few
facts that should be considered in
this connection:
In 1891, when the corporation com
mission was organized, the property
of the railroads and other public ser
vice corporations in the state, was
assessed for taxation at $12,321,704.
The corporation commission last year
assessed this property at $141,359,299
an increase over 1891 (24 years)
of 1,047 per cent.
In 1891 land was valued for tax
ation in North Carolina at $155,079,
648. Last year this same land was
valued at $419,910,289 an increase
over 1891 of 170 per cent. i
In the 24 years, therefore, the
corporation commission increased
the assessment of the railroads and
other public service corporations, 1,
047 per cent., while the land assess-1
ment has been increased only 170
per cent.
Refl'e.V on these figures a little
while and then ask yourself if the
average "landowner has cause to com
plain of his assessment. The num
ber of public service corporations
has increased and the value of their
holdings has increased in the 24
years, and so far as we know their
assessments are not unreasonable.
But that land values h'- ivi
increased and very greatly increased
Compare the price of land gener-
M
see what the difference is. The peo
ple general y are disposed to be
lieve that the corporations are taxed
none too h gh. If the taxab.e va.ue ;
of corporations has increased in. the !
I 24 years 1 047 per cent, v-Vle in the
; same period the taxable value of real
, estate increased only 170 per cenc,
'where is the bas's for the claim that'
real estate assessments have been un-
juswy increased ;
