THE INSPECTION OF MEAT.
Will Run the To'al Valuation Up to
Over $24,OCO,000.
While all the figures have not
been computed, it is believed that
the increase in taxable values in
Guilford county this year will reach
SI.500,000 or more, running the to-tal
valuation up to something like
$24,500,000. The average assessment
of farm lands for taxation Is $9.77,
which is a substantial increase.
The county board of equalization
was in session Saturday to consid-er
the work of the township asses-sors
and to receive complaints from
individual property owners. The
board found that, as a whole, the
assessments had been made on a
fair and conservative basis, though
changes were made in several in-stances
in order to put all the town-ships
on an equality. That the
■work of the township assessors was
(generally satisfactory was shown by
the fact that not more than half a
dozen complaints as to excessive as-sessments
were heard.
Every township Bhowtd a gain, the
smallest being in Greene, where the
increase was $2,222, and the largest
in High Hoint, where the increase
was $351,307. (The board raised
Greene's assessment so as to show
a gain of $22,222.) The tabulation
of the two townships in which
Greensboro is situated has not been
completed and these townsh ps, Gil-mer
and Morehead, will show a
large increase, probably something
over $150,000. The values in these
townships were raised very materi-ally
two or three years ago, and
for this reason the increase will
no be proportionately as great this
time as In some other places.
The average assessment as made
by the township assessors was as
follows:

the meat Is to be sold in the city
The spokesmen for the commit-tee
were Messrs. John C, Kennett,
John W. Wharton and D. M. Glad-stone.
They made it clear that the
farmers were not objecting to a rea-sonable
Inspection ordinance, simply
asking that the ordinance be amend-ed
so as to permit the farmers to
kill their hogs and cattle before
leaving home and have the meat
inspected before offering it for sale
in the city. It was explained that
the law as It now stands works a
hardship on the man in the coun-try
who desires to sell beef or pork
on the local market.
Messrs. Johnson and Moorefield,
who conduct slaughter houses li-censed
by the city, opposed the re-quest
of the farmers and insisted
that the law remain as it is.
Commissioner Brown, under whose
supervision the enforcement of the
ordinance comes, explained the pur-pose
of the law. He admitted that,
while the ordinance may work a
hardship on the farmers to- a cer-tain
extent, it is also beneficial In
the long run. He explained that, if
an animal should be killed by a
farmer at home and brought to
Greensboro and then rejected by
the inspector, the carcass would
have to be thrown away and there-fore
would be a total loss, where-as,
a live animal that should be con-demned
could be carried back home
and probably in a short while would
be in condition to pass inspection.
The commissioners took no action
in the matter, but promised to give
the subject careful consideration.

5.00 Ion has been heard. It Is not con-

after which it was carried
to Mrs. C. J. Matthews' boarding
house, where the young man had
been stopping.
In companv with Messrs. Lowery
Stafford, Cleo Davis and Clem Bo-ren,
young Mr. Finley went out to
Ogburn's pond Tuesday morning to
spend a few days on a camping trip.
During the afternoon, while Messrs.
Finley, Davis and Boren were out
rowing, the boat overturned in wa-ter
four feet deep. Finley decided,
against the protest of his com-panions,
while wet, that he would
take a swim. With his clothing and
shoes on, he set out swimming, while
his companions scrambled to the
bank. When it water fifteen feet
deep Finley was seen to go down.
His companions hurried to the place,
but arrived too late to save him be-fore
he went down for the last time.
Friends in Greensboro were notified
and they went out in autombiles to
bring the party back.
The parents of the young man
were in Charlotte, where the elder
Mr. Finley has a contract for street
work. They were notified of their
son's death at once and reached
Greensboro on the first train. The
funeral was held at the home or
Mrs Matthews yesterday afternoon
at 5.30 o'clock, the service being con-ducted
by Rev. E. K. MeLarty and
Rev. Melton Clark. The body was
carried to Atlanta, where interment
will be made today.
Mr. and Mrs. Finley and their
son. who was their only child, came
to Greensboro a few months ago
from Memphis, Tenn.. and made
many friends during their residence

The Sale of Wine and Cider.
In response to a suggestion that

the law governing the sale of home

quotation from the "near-beer
amendment to the state prohibition
law is given. It seems that there
is a good deal of misunderstanding
about the law.

of knowing whether a property owner
lists everything or not.
While the matter has not been
finally determined, it is possible
that the state and county tax this
year will be 81 cents instead of i9
cents as heretofore. This, if the
raise is made, will be because of the
fact that the state has increased the
state tax from 43 to 45 cents. Here-tofore
the county has been getting
36 cents on the $100 valuation, but
unless the raise is made to 81 cents
the county will get but 34 cents
this year.
While the fact is unknown to
many people, it U nevertheless true
that last year the people living in-side
the corporate limits of the city
of Greensboro contributed no less
than $14,066 towards the expenses of
the schools outside the city, accord-ing
to the records on file in the of
fice of County Auditor Abbott.
To make this fact dear, it should
be stated that the valuation inside
the city was about $9,000,000 and the
school tax from this was $lb,^oo.
There were 1,500 polls inside the
city and these added $4,500 to the
amount. Lastly the city clerk paid
to the school fund the sum of $3,8ot>
In fines, forfeitures and penalties.
This totaled $24,556. From this

The Sheriffs of Guilford County.
Mr. James W. Forbis, clerk of

following interesting contribution to
local history:
Who was the first sheriff of Guil-ford
county? One John O'Deneal was
elected or appointed in 1773, but
the county having been formed in
1770, it is fair to suppose that there
was a sheriff before O'Deneal. Next
was Henry Reld in 1783, then John
Gillespie, James Cootes in -1798,
