from 1st April 1888 to 31st March 1889, begs
leave to submit the following Report:
I. THE REVENUE.

The Committee thinks that the Councils
Members would appreciate getting, in the
Remarks to the Draft, not only, as is the
case now, a statement of the enactments
prescribing the various items of direct taxa
ton, but also q summary account OF the
contents of those enactments, and also some
statistical data in connection with these
taxes, for instance, Of the number Of acres
of land in cultivation, the number Of horses,
carriages and boats on which tax is levied.
AS we cannot suppose that it would cause the
Government any great trouble to furnish such
account and statistical data, we beg to
recommend that they be furnished along with
the next Draft Of Budget.

items the same as have been granted of late

The Committee cannot refrain from making
this remark, that it would be more inclined
to recommend that the SchoolhouSe at MT.
Victory be repaired, in preference to the
erection of an entire new schOolhouse at
Rosehill, because we believe that the first
named measure would cause less expense;
but in view of the intention, expressed by
the Government during the 1st discussion, OF
bringing in an amendment on this matter,
the Committee abstain8 from proposing an
amendment.

the night the stranger made a con-
fession. His name was Whiting,
"and he had long been an agent for
the British, who had engaged him
for an emissary to explore the coun-
try and circulate counterfeit money
GAS Congress had issued a paper
medium to raise armies and pay off
their troops, it imported their adj
versaries to discredit the currency as
much as possible. And as such
large quantities of paper had been
issued already, the speediest way to
effect the entire dissolution of the
system was to inundate the country
with counterfeit bills" 1t accord
ingly proved that this genteel strang-
er, who had not enough good mon
ey to pay his landlord had fifty
thousand dollars of counterfeit Con-
tinental money in his pocket, and
one thousand of this he gladly trans
ferred to Tufts in exchange for "a
little silver to discharge bills in par
ticular places" Mr.. Whiting rode
away after breakfast, having had a
distinction, which belonged to few
men, of teaching to Henry Tufts a
wholly new line of roguery.
1t is of historical interest to know
how this fresh branch Of industry
succeeded. To all appearance, ad-
mirably. He says: "On the same
day of my receiving the spurious
bills, curiosity prompted me to make
experiment of their currency. On
trial 1 found not the slightest diff
Guilty in passing them. Indeed, my
bills were such an exact imitation of
the genuine ones that a man must
have had mole penetration than or
dinary to have discerned the slight
est difference" Accordingly, as the
currency daily deprecated, he made
haste to invest his hoard in some
thing permanent-"bought a good
horse, new outfit of clothes, and
materials for a complete suit of fe-
male apparel" " which last he sent as
a present to the yet unseen Sally
Judd, intending it as kind of
atonement for the damage her char
acter had suffered through his ac-
quaintance. 1t is interesting to
know that it brought Sally to an
immediate interview, though a
stormy one, which closed with a
further atonement in the shape of
fifty counterfeit dollars, which she
accepted, though without yielding
her wrath. He then departed, and
says; I had not travelled many
miles before / had the address to
traffic awav my horse for money and
goods, which articles l transported,
like an honest man, to my family"
Even Henry Tufts, it seems, had his
standard of what constituted an
honest man.-Harper's Magazine.

genee will not long be ruled by ig-

the Negro race should be united.
Let it unite in each locality, and it
will not be difficult to unite it
throughout the country.
The best sign of Negro possibilities
in slavery times was the advance
made in the trades which he was al
lowed to learn. His most remarkable
strides since, have been discovered in
his excellence in the professions, un-
til to-day he is represented in almost
every known trade and profession.
Let us, therefore forget self and en-
courage those who make sacrifices for
the sake of the race. Let US hold up
our leading men in every good work
and all will be bettered by it and no
one hurt. Let each leading man do
all in his power to encourage every
other man in race enterprise Pat
rOnize our lawyers, doctors. preach
ers and teachers and subscribe and
pay for every cOlOred paper in his

difference will cause a man to neglect

SAYINGS ABOUT RALEIGH.

DIR. J. c. Price arrived in the city
Saturday morning and remained over
until Monday afternoon, at which
time he took the train for his old
home Newberne, n. G. During his
stay in the city he occupied the pull
pit of the Rev. G. S. Smith, of the
Congregational Church Sunday even
ing. Raleigh people did as usual
gave him hearty welcome by their
presence. DIR. Price is surely pulpit
orator which reflects credit upon the
nineteenth century.
Your correspondent was handed a
democratic Weekly Journal few
days ago known by a familiar title,
''MEssENGER," edited by colored men
in Springfield, Ill. There are in
stances when men deal with subjects
in narrow manner, that is, their,
ideas are without the proper develop
ment, but judging from the above a
new discovery has been made. The
minds of those gentlemen seem to be
too broad for the age in which they
are living and for the surrounding
circumstances that hinder the progress
of the race to which they belong.
The State Bank boodlers are rest

The First Baptist Church will
have a large baptizing the first Sun
day in May. Fifty one applicants
were examined on the 18th inst. for
certificates to teach school in Wake
county. We were informed that only
one received First Grade. In such
a vast multitude his name is worthy
of mention, but he is unknown just
now Every one expresses a desire
for the success of Prof. Atkins before
the local board of the State Normal
School. He is the man to fill the
vacancy. He is the man that will
adOrn it with all the necessary re-
0uirements. Citizens of the State
should remember that after leading
your class in some college which de-
termines scholarship there is some
thing else necessary. Especially
when it comes to a position like the
principal of State Normal School.
Be careful upon whom you bestow
such honor; be careful in whose
hand you place the young mind, for
it is delicate piece of mechanism.
