Speaking ofthe working of the fence law,
which has been in operation for several
months in portions of Mecklenburg county,
the Charlotte Observer says: "About half the
townships in Mecklenburg county are now
under township fences, and we understand
from farmers that the system is daily growing
in popularity; that those who opposed the
proposition when it was first submitted to a
vote, are now its warm friends. The colored
people, too, who live in the townships where
the law exists, would not now do away with
it if they could. We heard an intelligent
farmer say yesterday, that in his opinion, it
would only be short time before the whole
county was fenced in"

Extension of time for payment Of Taxes.

CAIeHSloH VI liHic ioI phJ hAcH' VI @".>o''
- The Columbia Union-Herald gives no.
tice that the time in which taxes may be paid,
without incurring the 20 per cent. penalty,
will be extended to the 30th Of January, in
slant. In regard to the matter, the Union
Herald says:
ave are requested by the governor to state
that the only power now possessed by any ex-
ecutive officer of the State to postpone the
time when the penalty for non:payment OF
taxes will attach, is the power conferred on
the comptroller. general by section l39, page
778, acts of 1884, as follows: "Ihat When
ever the general assembly shall fail to make
the annual levy of taxes, or the collection of
the same be in any way delayed, it shall be
the duty of the comptroller-general to notify
each county treasurer that the penalty tor
non-payment shall not attach until after the
expiration of sixty days from the date OF his
public announcement Of his readiness TO COL
lect the said taxes"
"Inasmuch as the collection did not begin
in any county till the 3Oth of November, the
time will be extended Till the 3Oth of Janua:
ry. In some other counties, where special
causes of delay in commencing the collection
have existed, the time will be correspond1ngly
extended.
The people are<by law entitled to sirty days
time from the cowmeneement of the collec-
ton before they are subjected to the penalty
for non-payment. The comptroller-general
will issue the proper orders in ample time to
reach all the county treasurers. The question
of any further extensions than those above
named rests exclusively with the general as.
sembly, and not with any executive Officer" J."

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The January term of the Circuit Court tor
York county, convened on Tuesday morning,
his Honor I. j. Mackey, presiding.
Upon opening the Court, his Honor charged
the grand jury specifically as to their power
and duty in finding bills-instructing them
not to try any case laid before them, but that
they must simply decide whether there Is
probable cause to warrant the State IN put
ting the accused upon trial. If the grand
iury, in order to find bill, considers the ques.
ton of the prisoners absolute guilt, every
man put upon trial would stand under the
shadow of a judgment previously rendered
against him by the grand jury.
The Jury were charged to investigate the
administration Of all the public officers of the
county, and to hold them to rigid accounta-
bilty, as such officers are trustees for the
people.
His Honor specially charged the jury to
see that the county Jail is in proper condition
as place of custody for persons accused, and
to ascertain whether proper beds and bedding
have been supplied to prisoners. The Coun'
ty Commissioners are charged by law with the
duty of supplying prisoners in the jail with
BEDS and in addition, with two blankets du'
ring the winter season. And these articles
the prisoners must have before the setting of
the sun this evening, even though the County
Commissioners surrender their own beds to
the prisoners in Jail, if necessary, as it IS much
more proper and humane that County Com
missioners, who are at large in this cold wealth
er, should 20 without beds, than that the prls-
oners locked up in Jail, should suffer for want
of proper bedding.
The grand jury were also required to ex'
anime the poor house and ascertain whether
the poor are properly fed, sheltered and
clothed and provided with good medical at
tendance.
His Honor next desired to invite the atten.
ton of the grand jury to the Importance OF
their memoralizing the Legislature to repeal
the fence law now in force, and thus lift from
the people great burden, which is prevent:
ing their advance in general prosperity, and
which amounts to tax of at least three per
cent. per annum, upon the capital invested III
the agricultural enterprises in this section.
The people of York county, as shown by re-
liable statistics, pay sla for the necessary fen
cling to keep out Of their fields cattle OF the
value of 81.
If an acre of land is in the form of q
perfect square, it can be fenced more econom-
ically than if in any other shape. Let US see
what it would cost to fence such an acre To-
day in York county. It will require 92o
rpils, allowing % pannels to the side OF the
lot each PANEL being three yards in length
