State Loans on Real Estate.

RALEIGH, N. c., February 2.-De-
spairing of any relief from Congress in
the shape of the sub.treasury bill, the
Alliance people of this State are turning
their attention to the Legislature. Memo.
rials from various Counties giving OK.
preston of the people in public meetings
have been laid before the Legislature.
These memorials assert that there is
great stringency in the money market in
North Carolina, rendering it almost i'm
possible to borrow money on the very
best real estate security, which results in
retarding the developments of the sgri.
cultural and industrial interests, and Pc
titioning the Legislature to pass some
measure of relief along the line suggested
by Col. ". II. Burgyn of Vaule and Mr..
E. P. Loftin of Lenoir.
This plan is for the State to issue $1O,.
600, 900 of per cent. bonds and sell them
at par and loan the proceeds to the peo.
pie who own real estate at per cent,
the other 2 per cent. going to the bond.
holders to be made up by taxation, which
would add only 100000 to the taxes
raised at present, the bonds to run thirty
years and then to continue at the option
of the borrower so long as the interest is
paid and the land pledged as security
maintains for taxation one half the value
of the money loaned thereupon. This
would give each of the ninety.seyen
Counties an average of 100000 in mon.
ey, the preference to be given in loans to
those whose real estate is under mortgage
at the time this plan of relief goes into
effect.
The Legislature is dominated by q very
large majority of Alliance members, who
are all in favor Of this plan of financial
relief. There is no opposition 10 the
suggestion, and it will take shape during
the present session.

StnpNing By the Party.

WASHINGTON February 9.-Congress.
man elect Shell and Stackhouso, Of the
4th and 9th districts respectively, are here
looking tho Congressional field over, and
making personal observations for fu-
ture use. Capt. Shell, under the guidance
Of Col. Perry, made his first appearance
upon tho floor Of the House to-day, and
was tho recipient of much attention from
the Democratic members.
He does not hesitate to say that he will
enter Congress with firm determination
to uphold the principles of the Farmers
Alliance, but his first duty will be to the
Democratic party. He does not under
stand that he and his Alliance associates
in South Carolina are expected to antag-
onize the policy of the Democratic party
on any of the national issues. He has
been approached or the subject of the
Speakership, but does not say to whom he
is committed. He is favorably disposed
toward Dir. Crisp, of Georgia, but will
withhold his final decision until consul.
tation of the South Carolina delegation
is held on the subject.
Referring to home politics Capt. Shell
says the contest over the force bill has
done much toward reuniting the factions
which were supposed to be drifting apart
during the recent fight over the State
ticket. The spirit and intent of his fa-
NOUS letter calling the Farmers Conven-
ton. he Gays, was misunderstood in the
heat of the campaign. The complaint of
the farmers against the Richardson Ad-
miniBtration was similar to that made in
other States where carelessnoss or other
errors of administration are alleged. a
better feeling prevails throughout the
State, and the Farmers Alliance of South
Carolina will be found voting for free
silver and the Democratic candidate for
President, whoever he may be.-Special

The Duties OF SIlerlfs.

Assistant Attorney General Townsend
has rendered to the Comptroller General
an opinion in writing in regard to the
duties of Sherifs under the tax laws, and
the remedies against such as fail to per-.
form their duties in this connection.
After reviewing tho provisions ofzecent
laws bearing upon the subject, the Assis.
tant Attorney General says that in his
opinion in order "to seize and take e1-
elusive possession OF the property of the
defaulting taxpayer, the Sheriff must &C.
tually..go on the land and seize and take
into his possession the personal property /;
and in case the personal property is in.
sufficient, in his Judgment, or if he fnds
no personal property, then he must take
possession of the land, and to do this
must eject the occupant. All this must
be done before advertising the property
for sale.
ssAfter thus taking possession of the
property he must hold it in order that he
may deliver the same to the purchaser
after the sails.
"Nothing is more important TO the
State than prompt action on the part Of
the Sherif:s in these matters, rs the valid
ity of thousands of tax titles hereafter to
be made will depend upon it, Co!ums-

a. Williams, we'll ll.known as "Dixio"
Williams, one of the most prominent
citizens of this city, was shot through the
heart and killed by James B. Williams
at q few minutes after 2 O'Clock this
morning. Major Williams and his slayer
were playing a game Of cards in private
room opposite the Mansion House. They
disputed over the game and Major Will
liams drew his knife. ]. B. Williams
said 81 am unarmed." Major Williams
then threw his knife on the table and
said: "Then I'll fghtyou on the muscle"
Major Williams began pulling off his
coat and just as he had laid it on the ia
BILE and turned to face his opponent j. B.
Williams suddenly drew revolver and
shot him. Major Williams fell forward
on his face and WAS found few minutes
later dead. The murderer escaped and
has not been captured. He is the same
man who was in serious cutting atf1ay
at Spartanburg some time ago, in which
9 man named Pateet was cut ell to pieces.
Major Williams wes the son.in-law OF
Judge Hudson. and was 9 we'll known
member of the Greenville Bar. He had

ture, and was prominent in military cir.
cles. He was Royal Arch Mason and

sadness. The coroner's inquest was held
to-day, and the verdict Of the jury was
that the murder was felonious.

a Deadly Duel.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Feb. 3.-A double
tragedy vas brought to light near Hous.
ton, Miss, yesterday by the discovery Of
the dead bodies Of two men lying within
few PAGES of each other, each with q
Winchester rifle by his side; one with q
bullet hole in his forehead from which
oozed clotted mass of blood and brains
the other with dark blotch upon his
shirt front where the current of his life
less blood had settled and CONCEALED.
The bodies are those of two men named
Phillpct and Wash Leader, the latter
one of the oldest settlers of ChickasRw
County. So far as known there was no
witness to the encounter which resulted
in death to both.
1t is not known that there had been
previous ill-feeling between the men.
The position in which the bodies lay
when discovered, and the fact that there
was an empty shell in the chamber Of
each rifle, show that each died by the
hand of the other, perhaps at the same
instant.
The CARCASS of hog near by affords
the only suggestion as to the cause of the
tragedy. The animal had been killed
by bullet from Winchester rifle.
Perhaps the men quarreled over the owner
ship OF it and settled the matter as the
surroundings DOW indicate.
The killing occurred upon trail in the
woods of remote district of the County,
and the result of the Corener's investiga-
tion is not yet known, if, indeed, any has
been made; neither is it known when
the encounter took place, though the
bodies we're stiff, cold, tho faces blanched,
the hair matted by rain and the clothing
vet and clinging closely to the limbs,
indicating that they had lain exposed TO
the elements for considerable time.
