[change in the public road in Oak Ridge
'township, the road to be changed where
'it passes the old l.owr\ residence at Oak
I Ridge the idea being to straighten the
-ame.
Several changes were made over the
levy of the past year, and the county tax
was.raised from SI 1-3 cents on the $100
to 80 "2-3. The poll tax remained un-changed.
One of the chief differences in the levy
was in the amount apportioned to the
upkeep of bridges and mads in the coun-ty.
This was raised from l.» cents to
j>3 1-3. adding S l-.'l cents to the county
funds for this one item, an increase par-tially
deducted by an increase of levy
for the benefit of the fund for general
state taxes. In this latter item an in-crease
of 2 1-3 cents was made, but it
was taken from the general county levy
in making the apportionment.
By this change, tiie county levy of
21 1-3 cents on the $100 was lessened to
19 cents and the subtracted portion was
i added to the general state levy. The
' lew for state pensions remained at 4
cents and there was no change made in
the item for the public school fund of
the state. This levy remains 20 cents.
With the subtraction of the 2 1-3 cents
from the general levy for the county ex-penses
and the increase of the levy for
road and bridge work by 8 2-3 cents, the
county levy is augmented exactly 6
cents, while the remainder of the 8 1-3
cents total increase in the levy goes into
the state treasury.
The enactment of a bill introduced
in the general assembly which abrogates
the sections 15 and 16 of the common
law of Guilford county, was chiefly re-sponsible
for the increase of the levy

REUBEN BARBEE DEAD.
A Durham Men Who Had Truly Had a
Checkered Career.
In chronicling the death of Reuben
Itarbee, which occurred at his home in
East Durham Monday, a correspondent
of the Greensboro Daily New- says of
him:
"Few men in the state have had a
more tempetuous life or a more check-ered
career than has Reuben llarbee. He
was twice tried on the charge of murder
and both times escaped the death sent-ence,
being found not guilty of both
chances. About l-"» years ago he -hot
and killed Will Cole, a white man. Roth
men were drinking, and llarbee shot him
in a barroom. The jury found, after one
of the hardest fought legal battles in the
history of the courts of Durham, that
llarbee shot in self-defense. The. last
time he was tried for murder was three
years ago. when he was charged with
murdering Engineer Holt, who was shot
from his engine just as it was pulling
up at the coaling station in East Dur-ham.
There was a good deal of circum-stantial
evidence that tended to connect
Barbee with the murder, but the confes-sion
of Solomon *-'hepherd, a negro, who
has since been killed by a penitentiary
guard, brought about the release of Bar
bee for the second time in his life on a
capital case.
"He has been in countless small trou-bles
and has always been considered a
verv dangerous man."
