After long agitation on the
part of the New York press and
public, the trustees of the
tan Museums of Art have at
yielded to popular demand by
to open the museum on Sundays.
Accordingly, great collection of
art works, paintings, statuary and
ancient curies yesterday opened
for the first time on Sunday, and was
thronged with of sight-
seers, who perhaps would never have
had an Opportunity to visit it on
week days. This is a very com-
move on the part of the
museum authorities and one will
not only be appreciated by residents
of the metropolis, but also by those
who may wish to visit us and whose
time may be limited. For these, as
well as for the great majority of the
people, who arc busily engaged six
days of Hie week, the opening of the
art treasures on is a boon
whose cost bears no relation to the
benefit derived. Our city is poor

dinner for a party of club men was
made by Mr. that he
could reel in Mr. Wells an

harness about his head, and the line
was fastened to an eyelet at the top.

THE PAYS-
Leader.
If there is one more than
another which causes the small pro-
owner to feel sore, is the
amount which he pays in taxes on the
assessed valuation of his property, in
proportion to that paid by his richer
neighbor by the large
and incorporated companies of
his city or county. The small prop
city owners the country can
said to be the ones who pay the taxes,
nor is it necessary to particularize
any section where this is especially
the case, for it can be said to prevail
throughout the States,
What is meant by small property
owners paying the taxes is that
proportion to their holdings, in real
or personal property, the poor man
pays taxes at a ratio or perhaps
four to one as compared to the rich
man, manufacturer and incorporated
company.
Nor will an increased tax
make his situation any for ho
is now paying taxes on his property
at a rate near its real value, while
the taxes of his more fortunate
neighbor will not be increased pro-
to make things equal.
This unfairness in the amount of
tax paid by the small and large pro-
owner must continue to exist
until all property shall be assessed
at its real value, for it is hardly in
nature of things to expect the great
owners of property to declare their
property at a rate higher than the
average Is now.
Because of the present existing
state regard to taxes paid, its
fairness small owners, it does not
argue for the greater honesty of the
poor man, but the proportionate real
valuation of the property is too great
for the small holder to overcome,
and this proportion increases as the
value of the holdings increases, to
the disadvantage of the small holder.
A uniformity in the plan of assess-
by taxing property at its real
market value, would remove the dis-
proportion now existing. The tax
rate now existing everywhere is
high enough to raise more
than enough money to carry on
State affairs, if a real value rate was
assessed, instead of the present
method of property at one-
third or one-half its market value.
In fact the tax rate would be lower-
ed very soon for the increased
amount collected, by taxing all at
the real valuation, would amount to
more then that collected under the
present method. Under a real tax
valuation assessment all property
owners would stand equal, each bear-
his proportionate part of the
burden of maintaining the affairs of
city, county, State and the
Government.
Assess property at its real value
and give the small and great owners
of properly the equality which should
be due each, a standard of known
values can also established in
every locality, and will be
found to be largely appreciated, re-
in benefits now unknown.

has been a lack of an educational
spirit in the community. No one
has seemed to interest himself
specially and work for the school
in a manner calculated to awaken
an enthusiasm in behalf of

to this there has been a lack of
unity among our own people that
has operated against the school.
But despite the adverse
stances, Greenville Institute has
done a great deal of work here and
has done more for the

Judge Whitaker's charge to the
grand jury last Monday ought to
have been heard by man,
woman and child in Pitt county
who are capable of comprehend-
it. It was a clear and concise
discourse on the obligation of an
oath. He showed how in times
long past when a crime was com
the as a whole as-
and took the matter
consideration. But since men
have so multiplied this is
and therefore juries are
chosen who act as a whole and
represent the people, act for the
people and out tho laws
made by the people. He impress
ed upon them that oath was
their best guide, that if they fol-
lowed out the obligations of
oath they would do their duty.
An oath he said was one of the
most solemn things and should
not be looked upon, as it is by a
great many, as a mere trifle and
form, but should be kept
and fulfilled in- the fear of God
without any regard for the fear or
favor of man or the hope of a re-
ward. It should be kept as sacred
to-day as it was in the days of
who sacrificed his only
daughter in compliance with the
duty obligations of his oath.
The best people have in all ages
looked upon oaths as one duty
that could not be violated. Per-
jury is a crime and -is not
only punished by law, but should
be frowned upon by all men.
Stringent laws might made,
Statesmen might legislate, society
might do its best, but until men
have a proper regard for their
oaths and order be
had, and man's lives and pro-
cannot be safe. Tho gov-
is a failure without we
can teach men to keep their
in regard to their oaths.
Tho law had made it tho duty of
tho grand jury to present indict-
men for crimes,
and the duty of the jury to
pronounce upon the truth of the
charge, and unless they lived up
to their requirements, justice
could not be meted out. He did
not to them their duty
in regard to the jail and county
home. The jail is a place of con-
and not of punishment,
and it was their duty to that it
was properly kept and that those
confined therein should be proper-
cared for, inasmuch as the law
looked upon them as innocent
until pronounced by their
fellowmen on oath as a jury.
The support of the poor at the
county home was a debt of the
to them, and not a favor
shown them in mercy. It is the
duty of the jury to visit
places and examine for themselves
and see that everything is kept in
order, that the inmates are treat-
ed right, and that nothing
moral is allowed.
Soon after the beginning of the

There was no little excitement in
Greenville, last Friday evening, when
it was learned that on the night
some one had fired n of
Mr. Joel Gardner, a wealthy farmer,
and while his family were out at
fire stole a trunk from bis house
which contained in money and
in notes and papers.
Early Friday morning an
of surroundings was com-
and following up some tracks
led to suspicion and subsequent
arrest of two colored men, Moses
Stancill end Bryant Atkinson. In a
canoe, which belonged to one of them
in a creek near by and toward which
tracks lead, were found pieces of
paper and scraps of the trunk lining.
Floating in the creek were some
pieces of paper, a small tin
and a cigar box which were in the
large trunk before it was stolen.
The two were taken to
Penny Hill late in the evening, and
an examination held before Justice
L Sufficient evidence was
found against them and the Justice
ordered that they be brought to
Greenville and committed to jail to
await the Court. It was sometime
after night when officers-------Hodges
and D. C. Barrow left Penny Hill
with the two prisoners, each officer
having a prisoner in his buggy.
After traveling a mile or two the I
lead horse suddenly stopped and
could not be urged forward. An in-
showed that the floor of a
bridge just ahead of them had been
torn up. It is supposed that friends
of prisoners had done this, think-
that one officer would bring both
prisoners and that while the officer
was replacing the bridge the prison-
might be able to effect an escape.
As it happened, however, one officer
guarded the prisoners while the
other repaired the bridge and they
went on their way again.
The buggies kept about a hundred
yards apart, officer Barrow in the
lead. A few miles further, when
about two miles below the scene of
the robbery, both buggies were stop-
again, this time by squads of
men at each buggy. Officer Hodges

not know what was going on at

in the wot Is. At his buggy the
same thing was going on, two men
taking charge of the officer and ad-
him to keep bis mouth
shut while several others were taking
bis prisoner, Bryant Atkinson, a few
yards in the woods. He heard them
preparing rape and bending down a
tree. When they were swinging
Atkinson he said if they would not
kill him he would find the money.
They took him back to where he said
the money was hid, but he was so
frightened and so tied with ropes
that he could net find it. However,
he Skid he would go with anybody
next day or any time after the money.
The crowd again placed the prisoners
in charge of the officers to be brought
on to town.
Next morning
Sheriff King to carry him out
there and he would find the money.
The Deputy carried him out and
some searching scratched out a
shot bag that had been buried beside
an old log near the creek. The
Deputy brought the prisoner and
money back to town. When
money was counted the sack con-
in gold, something over
in currency and enough silver
to make the total amount 93,325.26.
Both of the in jail told
tales about how the money
came to be where it was found.
Mr. Gardner lives about miles
from Greenville, on the North side of
the river toward Penny Hill, and it
was known that he was wealthy. He
kept his money and valuable papers
in an old trunk in his bed room.
After this part of the stolen money
was found word was sent to him and
be came to town Saturday afternoon.
In reply to a question from the re-
porter as to how much money he
thought was lost, he said he could
not say positively, but he
had little more than cash in
the trunk and or in
notes. In the money he knew of one
particular package containing
composed entirely of bills and
bills, in that which was
found there was no bill a larger
denomination than In reference
to the loss by fire he said the barn
contained barrels of corn, bales
of cotton, bushels cotton seed and
farming implements. Of the cotton
bales were and about or
barrels of corn, though the lat-
is badly damage.
Mr Gardner seemed to take bis
loss very cheerfully and was thank
that so much of the money had
been found. His daughter at or

road in front of the cottage.
It was not a matter of small

maid, Bridget, seemed to have complete-

You could hear the scuffling his

Mrs. other boarders, the Holmes

for half an hour. They were slow, silent

who, with down close to

the eyes and rather flat noses, had a
