been thought wise or proper for
this poor generation to attempt to

During the years 1871 and 1872
there was a tax of cents on the
of property ; after 1872 and
moil 1881 the tax on property was
cents or of property, and
after it was cents, at
which it now stands.
In addition to this general prop-
tax the Constitution applies
least of all poll
lax, both State and county to
school purposes, which amounts to
an average of about one dollar
and fifty cents the limit
of is reached exact
amount is on each poll
that is collected.
The statutes apply now, and
have for the fines, forfeit-
and penalties imposed by
Superior Courts Justices
of the Peace, most of the receipts
from liquor licenses except
from the wholesale re-
from auctioneers,
article of incorporation
Superior Court Clerks, and
tax on dogs.
From these sources our schools
so fur as they are levied by
the General Assembly, are derived,
and the funds are not put into the
hand of the State Treasurer, hut
are retained in the counties
where are raised.

Col John R. Winston, of
county, died at his home
near the 7th inst. He
was a gallant and brave officer in
the late war. and served his
try faithfully. Up to a few
years ago Col. Winston was a
strong Democrat, but he joined
the Liberal ranks in 1881, since
which time bis politics were
stable. In intellectual ability
Col. Winston was far ahead of
the average man.
Republican Senators are still
fighting message of
dent Cleveland, which so strong-
advocates tariff reform, and a
reduction of the import duties
of this country. But no harm
is being done by our enemies by
these wild harangues. The mes-
sage is unanswerable, the people
are with him and tariff reform is
bound to come sooner or later.
The masses are beginning to
think on this matter for them-
selves, and it only needs a calm
review of the situation for them
to rise up in their might and see
to it that the iniquitous war tar-
shall be modified and a t
many thousands of dollars will
be saved to the poor people who
are paying such large amounts
into the laps of the
manufacturers.
Greenville is standing in her own
light. To-day the business men
of Washington will hold a meet-
the purpose of inviting
Mr. Bridgers and Mr. Walters of
R. R. Co to visit
that town and look into the ad-
it offers for the carry-
the road from Scotland
Neck to that place. The people
of Greenville are doing nothing
to secure the road and if they
continue to manifest no interest
in it nothing can be expected
but that the road will be carried
elsewhere. Further argument
as to the necessities of a railroad
here and the advantage one
would prove to the town is use-
less. We have pointed these
out time and time again. Now
the business men, the people
must move in this matter or
Greenville will get no railroad.
News and renouncing the
Republicans and again declaring
himself to be a Democrat. Mr.
says that since he has
been in Washington he is
that the Democrats are do-
all in their powers to relieve
the people of the burdens bear-
down upon them and that
John Sherman and his followers
are opposed to them. All men
who will stop to think over the
matter are bound to see that the
Democratic party is the friend
of the masses, and it is only
through and by them that the
country will ever be relieved.
There is plenty of room in our
ranks for all who, like Mr. Brad-
field, awake to the error of their
way, and we say to them come
on home, you will receive a
dial welcome.
Sensible Man.
The Raleigh Signal man says
he always adopts a rule
that he will not engage in a
controversy with any one. Right,
you are, Logan. Stick to. that,
and you may possibly save your
hide. If your exhibit of State
finances is a fair sample of the
manner of speech you would em-
ploy in a public controversy, we
don't blame you for keeping
lent. Just picture right here,
fellow-countrymen a controversy
between Logan Harris and Jose-
Daniels Unless Daniels
showed mercy would have
but little fur left after one round,
and in the second he wouldn't be
able to get himself together again.
He that his tongue under
such circumstances is a wise
man, he be a fool.
What Great Love
The recent bloody-shirt, South
hating speech of the
President of the II. S. Senate, is
quite indicative of the feeling of
fraternity existing between the
North and the South. The
South has some few sincere
friends and well-wishers among
the Northern folk, but the rads
up there don't like her politics,
or her people either, as for that
matter. Not much love lost on
either side. Now it is in order
for those of the
South that have made
their have been
proclaiming to our people that
the North and South had met
and kissed each other, Oh, so
fondly in one long and
embrace, to come to the front
with a stronger avowal of the
great love of the great heart of
the great North for our fair and
prosperous Southland. We

New Fish Game

The historic old city of New
covered herself in glory
with the success of her
Game and Oyster Fair last week.
In company with Col. Harry Skin-
the editor of the Reflector

the 12th mat to be present at the
opening of Fair on the 13th.

of such a drive, our course was

that excellent home for the
man, the Hotel Albert, and
found comfortable quarters. This
is one of the best hotels in the
State, well furnished, fitted with
modern conveniences and under
i he management of clever and
men.
Tuesday morning we spent ac
hour or two looking about the city
noting especially the public build-

some handsome buildings.
We were especially impressed
with the churches, some of them
being magnificent structures The

and number of vessels

that New is a large
shipping point. At the
procession formed and after pass-
through several of the
pal streets proceeded to the
green where the Fair was
held. At o'clock Gov. Scales
was introduced to the assembly by
John S. Long, Esq., and after
making a half an hours speech de-
the Fair opened.
It would take more space than
we have at command say all
that is desired about New
and the Fair. There was such an
elaborate display and the variety
was so that we look-
ed with wonder at the many at-
tractive features.
Outside the buildings were the
displays of machinery, and
poultry, and exhibit of the
two latter was as fine as we ever
saw at any fair. The first room
on the lower floor of the building
was devoted to exhibits of
escallops, clams, etc., and
one could but look upon them with
pride that such products

thing that proved a curiosity to

In the next room was game

The next room was occupied
principally by exhibits of grocer-
canned goods, etc, made by
merchants the city. The
and last room on the lower floor
contained products, woods,
fertilizers, and products from dis-
oil mills, the S. H. Gray

Two rooms of the floor
contained the department
and art exhibits. Of these we
cannot begin, to go into display.
The Indies were surely well
for every imaginable kind
of work was on exhibition.
There were also numerous inter-
antiquities, of them
more than a century old. We
saw a lock of hair said to have
cut from the bead of George
Washington m the last year of
his life. Then there were old
swords, old guns, old relics of
kinds sufficient to make a
good fair in themselves.
In the afternoon Davis Ca-
were reviewed by Governor
Scales upon the Academy green.
They were in number and
made a tine appearance. We were
glad to see among them our young
friend E C. Yellowley of
ville. Ed. called to see us at the
hotel and a chat with was
much enjoyed.

Mr. King drew a comparison of
farming with other industries and
showed bow all were dependent
upon the farmer for support. He
argued a farm should be self-
that no farmer could

chase such staple products that
should be made at home. He warn-

practice of mortgaging, and against
following the crop idea. He
used illustrations to show that an
acre planted in either wheat or
corn would net a larger profit than
an acre in cotton. He also said the
farmers should have better

of manures. He advocated
organization and education among
the farmers.
