T. ARCHIBALD GARY, General For Virginia and North Carolina, 1201 K. Main Street, Va There was recently a report that the Third Assistant Postmaster General nude a ruling that no newspaper to a subscriber should be entitled to second class rate of postage unless the subscription was paid advance. Tho report was de promptly, no such ruling having been made, but it caused great perturbation among the newspapers while it lasted. Yet Wouldn't that be a pretty good after all t It would save the newspapers loss of a great of money and protect people from baring forced upon them papers which they do not want. There are some papers which, a man having subscribed for once he never get stopped, all orders for being disregarded, it being at the office of publication that the subscriber is both honest and that as long as he receives it he will pay for it. the other baud, there are people who ask mate for credit which it is hard lo refuse, if were made such a ruling as that about which there was such a scream a week ago it would operate to advantage both of the people and of self respecting publishers who are trying to do a legitimate Observer.

It U a matter of people are so easily taken in by strangers and street peddlers on the sale of articles that could be ob- from the home merchant and regular business man at so much less price. Instances where in the purchaser pays dearly for such experience are frequent. If you want article and cannot it carried by your home dealer, it would at least be good policy to consult him giving any kind of price to the peddler. It will pay to do business with your home business men whom you and have confidence in. A local exchange, with a chroma disposition to misrepresent and kick about something, makes the bare faced statement that county is right much in Such a statement is calculated to deceive those who know better, and is also a reflection on our excellent Board of Com- missioners. Pitt county is not only NOT IN DEBT, but we doubt if any county in the State can shew a better condition of finances. The last financial statement of the county for the fiscal year end- Dec. 2nd, as published shows a of 1400.10 in the hands of the Treasurer after paying all the ex the with the Bleep- of outstanding orders to the amount of 9246.63 that had not been presented for payment. At the same time the Sheriff had col- and turned in only the general taxes for the year. There remain about of last year's taxes to lie collected and turned over to the Treasurer, and this with the schedule taxes will give the county something like to run on this year up to the fall.

According to the exact and language section of the new Revenue Act, last day was the limit fixed for the thousands of merchants North Carolina to make their purchase tax returns to the Clerks of County Boards of Commissioner Registers of of their respective counties, in order to avoid penalty prescribed. However, as a large percentage of them have failed to do so, and as there Is no disposition on the part of officials to make new law more stringent burden- some than is necessary, additional time will be extended those who will at once manifest a disposition to comply with it, and send in their returns without de- lay. AND Thia course on the part of our merchants is the beet they can sue at present. The new law is burdensome, to say oppressive, it is true, that it is very popular is to all. But it is law, nevertheless, there- fore must be complied with. When the next Legislature meets, year hence, a more satisfactory act may be seemed. Up to the of the Leg of the purchase tax levied upon for a number of years past was consider- ed the General Assembly reached a cum and the purchase privilege tax act was passed Acts based on amount invested privilege ax to be in lo ad tax on all the property of the this was regarded as settling a I long- vexed But only two years later the Legislature of 1901 came along, and not only did away that very satisfactory act, but went a bow-shot further than the old chase tax law, and put into the Revenue Act the present section which is so much of already. This new law not only levies an ad tax on all property of the merchant, but levies a tax on every dealer of the amount stock lie or the extent of his of tor and for the county; on of this levies a tax on all the sales a merchant requiring him to pay a tax on his supposed profits. He may never collect some of his debts, but nu this law he Is actually made to pay a tax on the amounts he his creditors. J. B. Cherry Co. MARVELOUS JANUARY SALE.
