Taxing the North Carolina Ware
houses. We are not aware that, notwith
standing the increase in the tobacco
crop and consequently the multiplying
of tobacco warehouses in North Caro
lina, any but a very fow are so pros
perous as to excite the special and
pointed taxing proclivities of the Leg
islature of North Carolina. A big bus
iness for the warehouses is a necessity
to keep up and to preserve the market
intact. The planter gets the money
back made in commissions. Expenses
are heavy ; the noise and bustle and
advertising and drumming looks big on
the barn and fence and bill board, hut
profits are by no means so big as ap
pears on the surface. Tax them too
high and unjustly, and in turn the
planter pays and suffers, as well as the
town. Give them a chance first ; tax
the investments when the proprietors
get rich and regal. Richmond South
