Marx the Contrast

In Wake county, on the Parish tax, for the
support of Paupers, is needed a considerable
increase. Here, our Magistrates conceive
themselves compelled By laU, to grant licen-
ses to retail ardent spirits to all who come
legally recommended. These liquor estab-
llshments are what impose nine-tenths of the
Pauperism upon us, and hence the necessity
OF an increase of a burdensome taxation.
In Guilford, where the Magistrates sensi-
bly, and justly consider that they have a right
to exercise a sound discretion in the matter.
and this sound discretion impels them to re-
fuse all applicants the nefarious privilege Of
poisoning their fellow-men-in this good old
Guiltord county, we learn from the Patriot.
the taxes this year were assessed the same as
last year in amount. Although it is no lon
ger necessary to continue the Poor-house tax,
it was considered proper by the magistrates
to continue the amount, with an ultimate
view to the erection Of a new courthouse
A resolution to that effect was adopted with
great unanimity though the present was not
considered the proper time to undertake the
building.
While the majority of the Justices were on
the Bench, application was renewed by G.
A. Gillaspie and A. Wilmington to retail
spirituous liquors in Greensboro. A SINH
lar application was refused at November
term last, by seven Justices. After the OK
animation of evidence, and much discussion,
at the present term, the application was again
refused by the following vote For it 16
against it, 10. This is considered mother
indication of the magistracy of the County
against granting any license to retail.
