.MECHANICS LIENS.

Editors Raleigh Observer: An
Amendment to the Law relating to
Mechanics and Laborcrs' Leins was
passed by the last General Assem-
bly,. the provisions of which are not
generally known. 1t being a matter
of considerable interest to mechanics
and others, L desire that yoL call
their attention to the fact that as
the law now is, all liens against
real estate or interest in real estate
must be filed in the office of the
Clerk Of tile Superior Court within
sixty days after completion of work
or delivery of materials. Hereto
tore these claims, when under 5000,
were filed in the office OF the near
est Justice of the Peace. Any lien
SO filed against real estate mo mat
Ter for what purposc) in the office
of Justice of the Peace since the
passage of the Act Is therefore
void. In my office several liens oi
that kind have been flied, and some
of them by attorneys; all eff them
are void. Yours respectfully,
Albert MAGNIN, j. z.

We utilize such places, and make
them healthy : we just sow them

conclusion. Taking up the cult

NOTHING LOSTBUT Il HEART

Drifting away from each other,
Silently drifting apart.
Nothing between but the worlds cod
screen.
Nothing to lose but a heart.
Only two lives dividing
More and more every day;
Only one soul from another soul
Silently slipping away.
Only a mans heart striving
Bitterly hard with its doom;
Only a 1and. tender and bland,
Slipping away in the gloom.
Nothing of doubt OF wrong.
Nothing that either can cure;
Nothing to shame, nothing to blame,
Nothing to do but endure.
The world cannot stand still.
Tides ebb and women change.
Nothing here that is worth Il tear,
One love less nothing strange.
Drifting away from each other,
Steadily drifting apart
No wrong to each that the world can
reach
Nothing lost but heart.

estimated by competent Treasury
authority that the total amount OF
gold and silver in the United States
at this time is 1925, 100000. The
increase during the fiscal year end
ing Juuc 30 is supposed to have
been not less than $45,OC0,000.- :
The imports Of gold and silver coin

the exports, and as the balance of
trade is becoming more aud more
