Tho COIlectOrship.

The fight for the collcctorship wakes
warmer as the time advances for the
choice. The different candidates are on
hand vigorously urging their respective
claims. Each man has u legion of
friends backing him. Mr.. Kyne is
working hard to retain his present po-
ston, and number of his friends are
on hand.
Mr. Farrell is constantly about, and
has host of business and professional
men and politicians urging his claims.
He urges that he has done much service
for the party and has never yet received
any reward for his services. He says
be has been Il volunteer in the vineyard
of his party for numberlof years past,
and would like now to receive some adt-
qllatc return for his services.
Ailablc and pleasant Patrick Ncary
is ON hand working his claims for all
there are in them, and is receiving CON
siderable support by his party's mana
gers.
Mr.. Dickey, the only applicant di-
rcctly for the southern district, makes a
strong showing, and is working hard for
the position.
Mr.. Doud is now considered out of the
fight entirely. What the result of the
contest will be no one can say. None Of
the members have committed them
selves either directly or indirectly TO
any candidate, and as u natural consc-
quence the uncertainty is increased.
The caucus will bo held to-day and the
election tomorrow. Until then, the
condition of the various candidates is
one of anxious expectancy.

opened large crowd poured in, com
pletely filling the space allotted u spec
tatOrs. At 3.45 o'clock the Grand Jury
came in, and were discharged from
further attendance, and In a short time
afterwards the general jurors were dis
charged until Tuesday, February 9th.
Thomas Dempson, cOlored, charged
with assault and battery, was allowed
tc plead guilty TO assault. He made a
statement 10 the Court, and said that he
was employed on farm near Middle
town by Mr.. Burroughs. Some time
last December he was on his way to the
cars wi tn q wagon load Of corn, and
when near the Middletown, depot he was
approached by constable, who, with
pistol in one hand, and black jack in
the other, told him he had warrant,
charging him with participating in a
riot which had occurred some time be-
fore.
Dempson told him that he would 60
with him rs soon ~ he unloadedhis corn,
as he had no one to take care OF his
team. The officer insisted on his going
at once, and upon trying to take him, a
struggle ensued.
When he had a hearing before the
of the Peace, ii was found that
there was no evidence to connect him
with the riot, so that charge was aban-
doned, and the charge of assault and
battery on the officer preferred, for
which he was placed under bail for
Court.
Thomas Davis, Esq, appeared in his
behalf, and called several witnesses, who
testified ~ his good character. Clerk Of
the Peace Cochran also said that he was
acquainted with him, and knew him to
be n hard working, industrious man,
The Chief J ustice said he would i'm
pose fine Of IS and costs, and Mr.. Da-
Wis succeeded in collecting part Of the
money from persons who were present
and made an arrangement with the
sheriff for the payment Of the balance
50 that the man could be released and
return to his home.
On the application of r. II. Hoffeck-
,r, Esq, an order was renewed and
made returnable at the May term, for
aging out road in North Christiana
Hundred.
The Court remained in session until
O'Clock, although no further business
was transacted 1t was understood,
however, that telegram had been sent
% Judge Wootten, and the Court was
waiting for an answer, to ascertain if he
would be present this morning, when a

FOUR STERLING BOYS.


The Constitution has printed many
story of denial, energy and heroisrn, bu
none more deserving than the story o
the Green boys. These four boys started
few years ago selling newspapers. They
made ten cents apiece the first morning
they went to work, and for two winters
thereafter they went barefOoted, through
the snow and sleet In the freezing dawn,
on their morning rounds. From the
very first they saved certain per cent
age of their earnings, which they wisely
invested in Atlanta real estate. The
Oldest of them is now eighteen years OF
age, and the youngest twelve.
They esupported an invalid father
and their mother oil the time, and now
have property worth considerably over
Is, 900, houses from which the rent IL
SO per month, and 500 stock In u
building and loan association. They
have educated themselves the mean
while, remaining from school this year
in order to work the harder and build n
homo for their parents that is to have .
front paror and a bay window in It,
These little fellows have been carriers,
newsboys, errand boys and apprentices
about the Constitution Office, and ono of
them is now assistant mailing clerk. The
net savingsfroln their sales and salaries,
exclusive Of their rents, has been go %
week for this year
Next year they can do better, and by
the time the oldest of the brothers il of
age they ought TO have comfortable
little fortune. What these boys have
done others can do. The whole secret
is stadness, sobriety, industry and
economy There are few lessons more
important for boys than that the small
est amOunt--nO matter how little II
may be-will make agreat fortune If ii
is only saved and invested, and that
the smallest inCome-no matter how
make man independent If
he will only live inside Of it and com
pound his surplus. 1t must have been
to these youngsters when
it took them month to lay up n single
dollar, and it was heroic in them when
they went baretooted over frozen
ground rather than use 1t to buy shoes
with.
1t Is easy now, when they are com
fortably clad and housed, and every
body about them is comfortable, and
their savings amount to twenty times
week more than they were formerly
able to save in month. They have
life almost before they have
entered it, and if they will only keep
cleanly hearts and genial souls, and
broad, hearty impulses, they will be
not only rich but useful men.

A Movement OF whisky Men.

Congress not ratifying the bill extend
ing the bonding period, to be prepared
to meet the contingency distillers from
all the parts Of the United States are
making application to the Dominion
Government: to ascertain the conditions
on which spirits may be imported into
Canada from the United States in bond.
1t would appear, from the inquiries
made, that the distillers are anxious to
export their spirits in bond to Canada,
where it could be warehoused for time
and then re-shippcd to the United States
in bond and again placed in n ware
house, where it might remain for new
bonded term. The Customs regulations
allow spirits to be imported into Canada
in bottles and in casks containing not
less than one hundred gallons.
