Judge Avery and Mr.J. O L.
Harris are reported to have given
out that the new school tax elec-
tion law is unconstitutional, and
upon the strength of their epin-
ion the State Superintenden’ of
Public Instruction has telegraph-
ed the Governor to come to Ral-
eigh and call on the Supreme
Court for a decision cf the ques-
tion. Is would indeed be a com-
mentary if afcer all e!se it should
now be found tLat this school tax
law will not hold water.—Char-
Jotte Observer.

In view of the probable uncon=
stitationality of the whole maiter
it strikes us that the question
ought to be settled at once, so
that the order for holding the
August election may be recinded
and the different counties saved
the enormous expense necessary

_ bo hold the same. It is a huge
farce anyway. The members ot
the Leyislature ought to have
had the manhood to raise the
school tax, instead of trying to
hide behind the subterfuge of let-

_» fing the people vote the tax upon
themselves and burdening the

counties with a greater expense
_ to hold the election than would

be seared by the tax.

The Tall Maa of Stanly and His
‘History.

Monday’s World stated that
William Austin, the tall man of
Stanly county, was in thé city.
Mr. Austin is now working at the
old Barker blacksmith shop on
Lee street. 7
_ He was 21 years old the 13th of
last April, meardres 6 feet 97
inches in his stocking feet and is
gill growing. Le weighs 225
pounds and is apparently a skel-
eton now, but with larga bones
and wmuselee. He lifted when
only 19 years of age 4 bale of
cotton weighing over 500 pounds
avd carried it some 25 yarde.
Only recently three Northern
gentiemen offered him $5,000 to
go in training for five years {o
fight the champion of the world,
but as he was only a boy at that
lime, it could oaly v9 expected
that he would not know what to
do. But from a conversation
with him he seems ready to ac-

 

 

be thrown out of’their homes.
What sound 1s that, Mr. Com-|
witteeman ?”’

“Tt is the fast freight from the

west,”
“Yus it is the fast freight from
the west,” repeated the chairman.
“Tt will stop at the tank for
water. You have just time, Mr.
Wood, to catch that train, and I
wouldo’t take a return ticket if I

wind a rope he had looped up
ander his ulster.

“Bat through freizhts dcn't

Wood, fully grosping the situa-
a'ion and looking swiftly over
the utter hopeless situation.

“This freight will carry &@ pas-

committee calmly. Put the end
of this rope over that awning
pole, Mr. Committeeman- [t will
carry a passenge:, and he can gO

he likes. We have just time—”

But Sam Wood was in the mid-
die of the street and half a block
away, running for dear life. He
caught the freight at the water
tank; and he never returnecd.—
