THE ROAR WILL BE oUIAT.

The opponents of the Roanoke AID
Southern railroad parade their ohjec-
tons with 80 little reason and so muuh
pertinacity that tits time to inquire as
to what are their real causes of con-
plant. The closest and most mpdr-
tial investigation fails 10 disclose q
single substantial reason for such de-
termined efforts to defeat the appropri
alton of an additional 500 600 in aid
of the Roanoke and Southern railroad
aud those who are Opposing thu me-
ure have placed the nseiv.> BET n {
public as apparently iuimical 10 the ~
terial prosperity of our beautiful cit,
The character and standiug of ;h'
officers of the Roanoke aud Southern
Railroad company is sufficient guar
antee of the honesty of their intentions.
and the same may be said of the officers
of the Construction company. The
gentlemen composing the latter organ-
ganization have started oY 10 bui q
the road. and have advanced their ewi
money literally in their ef'rl, t" "c
compish the purposes they hav.
in view II the pe'p- III Wiosto9-
Salem. North Car"liua. and
Henry county. Va. help them on the
Southern end OF ahe road, and if the peo-
pie of this city help them to. construct
twenty miles at this end Of the line,
they would be very poor business men
and fiuanclers to abandon the fifty tive
miles intervening, and lose the two or
three hundred Thousand dollars they
have invested ON their own accou!t /:
When ny mortsnging the c"mpivt~
sectious an1 the running stock. lh~y
would be able to finish the whole ro.,d
from Winston to Roanoke. As 10 the
insinnation that the Construction coiu-
pany will cease work as soon as they
have built twenty miles OF road south
of this city, and wait for the council to
give them one or two hundred thousand
dollars more, il is too unreasonable
for serious consideration. Men who
engage IN enterprises OF that character
do 80 with the view of completing the
work aud of making reasonable
profit. To abandon the project al
such a stage would BE- the height of
folly aud not in conformance wi!h
true business policy. The men who
have charge of the undertaking Will
push it forward 10 success. and it Is
tie duty of every citizen who has the
welfare Of Roanoke at heart, to work
for the appropriation, and. if he have
the right, to vote for the measure when
it comes before the freehold voters Of
this city on the 18th day of February
next for ratification or rejection.

JESSIE WROTE THEM.
That Sensational Story From Joilc

That Sensational Story From Joliet.
JOLIET, ILL, Mar. 22.-The White letter
writing mystery has been cleared up, AMI
IL has been definitely proved that Jessie
White, the beautiful girl who committed
suicide last evening in 30 sensational u
manner on the principal street OF the city,
was herself the writer of the letters. II
has been shown that the girl was a mono
maniac on the subject OF writing leCters,
ADDED to which was thirst for notoriety.
Jessie was modest and lovely, but for some
reason never had "a lover, there being no
young man (accordipg 10 the testimony OF
her father at the trial David White, who
was accused OF being the author OF the let
ters) with whom she had ever kept
company. She was social favorite, how
ever, aud the fact OF her being without u
signing swain was much commented upon.
She be gan TO write lettors in 1856, when
she WIS nearly as years cd. one day
notice of her death appeared in the Joliet
papers, ard notes were sent TO the under
asked to act as pail bearers. After that
the letters came thick and fast Miss Jessie
receiving several of them containing
threats of assass natiOn. The story got into
the papers and Miss Jessie W "a heroine.

she finally killed herself did not occasion

the facts in the case.

No Bible Reading.

MADISON, Wis, March 20-The supreme
court OF Wisconsin MS decided that the
bible has no place in the public schools.
The case arose IN Egerton, where certain
Catholics brought suit to restrain the
teacher from reading tie bible TO scholars.
The objection was based principally on the
fact that the version used was that of King
James, which is repugnant 10 the Catho ic
church. The court says that re ding from
the bible in the schools, although wi bout
comment on the part of the teachers, is in
struction and holds that the bible contains
many doctripal passages and that the gen.
eral reading of it is sectarian instruction.
The court further says that the place where
the bible should Oe read is place of wor-
ship, and that, as the taxpayers are com
PEELED TO erect and to support school houses
aud children are, under the late law, com
PEELED TO attend pubic or private schools,
the constitution clauses forbid the use of
school houses as places of worship. The
decision Of the court was unanimous.

The Collection of Delinquent County
Taxes.

DETROIT, March 24-The facts uuearthcd
be eX-State Senator Crosby relative 10 the
collection Of delinquent st tie and county
taxes though the auditor generals Office is
very interesting and snow that 1t Is a
somewhat expensive method. In wayne
county the delinquent state taxes were
S57,2lI07, and the delinquent local taxes
ST.. 0l25. OF these sums the county COL
leStor col .ected Sl3l, 44I.35, and the auditor
general Sl,9,6.01. 10 have this accom-
plished by the tax machinery in the auditor
general office cost Wayne county in clerk
hire, postage, advertising rates, etc, 3d.
642l3 an outlay Of S3l, oO5 % more than was
taken in. They are other striking exam
Piles.
The Evening Journal sent out questions
to the county treasurers and received an
Swers as follows:
l. Which do you consider the better sys-
tenn for collecting delinquent taxes-by the
auditor general state SYSTEM or by tho
county treasurer County SYSTEM
Forty one (out of AZ pronounce in favor
OF the county system; favor the present
state system; appear to think one is as
good as the other; and one favors the
county system ii il is put in good shape.
g. Would it not be better to have the
county pay TO the state directly the amount
required, and the county then take care or
its own delinquent taxes.
On the second question, as to whether IL
IS DSllef IOr Vle county 10 pay 10 lue SthOS
direct, a. tout of 40 say aye Six say
nay. one says that such policy will ben
ett old counties but is not advantageous
for new counties.
3. Would not tie adoption OF u county
system for the collection OF taxes by county
treasurer avoid duplicating of everything
sent TO auditor generalf
On the question whether the county sys-
tenn would avoid Implications IL (out Of 40
say ave. Five say NAY.
4. do you consider the present system OF
auditing accounts with the STAG on tax
matters at II CompIcatedl
Forty two say tue stale system is COM
plicutcd. many OF the opinions being very
emphatic on that point. One, however,
says it is not; another says it is slow; and
another says it is useful check TO tho
county treasurers.
&. Would II increase or decrease tho labor
OF your object
AS To whether the county system would
increase the work in the county treasur-
er's Offices there is considerable difference
of opinion, which arises principally from
the location OF the counties. Twelve say
IL will be increased; seventeen say IL will
be decreased; seventeen say it will be
about the same either way, aud two say it
will be the best in any case.
