Boston is the venerable colored sexton of the Suffolk Church, of whose pastor, Dr. W. W. Staley, he is the friend Baton Dr. Sta- are by birth. The lite drama enacted by ton bis Eliza ant, was made possible by slave- day Way back the early forties they were a happy- pair of a big North Carolina plantation. Their owner loved his slaves. He was also of wine and fast living. He was finally forced to sell one of his man holdings every year to main- his style of living. It so came about that the twins were by sale about the year 1815, when they were twelve years old. They grew to manhood womanhood without knowing each other's whereabouts. Some days ago Eliza, whose last name is now heard that Boston was in Suffolk. She wrote a letter of inquiry, and ton expects to meet him sister at her home N. C, by Friday morning. Boston is a typical helium vigorous and active despite his age, effusively polite to Dr. Staley asked his for a special collection for the faithful old sexton.

Stamps Must Be Mutilated. Ike Commissioner of Internal Revenue has made a ruling in re- to the ion of stamps that will interest man the country. He all cases where a documentary stamp of the of cents or any urger denomination shall lie used for tie- noting any tax imposed by the act of June IS, 1898, the person using the same shall, in to writing or stamping there- on, with ink. the initials of his name and date when affixed, mu- said stamp by cutting three parallel incisions lengthwise through the stamp, beginning not more than one fourth of an inch from one end thereof and extend- to within of an inch of the other end. Where such stamp is by cutting or perforating in any author- by existing regulations as aforesaid, the herein provided will not lie required. This provision shall take effect and be in force and after De- in, Mad Year Snipping. .,. ,,.,, ,. ,.,.

They seem the fact that blind has made this amend- necessary to the peace, good order and progress of the State. The appeal comes too late. For thirty years they have had to show some political ti inn nation, but have they availed them- selves of South- Timber and Cotton. The attention of The Charleston News Courier has been at- to the recent article of Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, in the Observer, in which he discussed the prosper- of High Point as the result of, ts large work in the manufacture of furniture from Hie native woods of Carolina, and observes that this State has found a j use to make of forests than of burning them for firewood or shipping them to Northern Unhappily this is true in only a modified sense.
