Places That Have Been Benefited by
Fiction.
How many people realize that Amer
lean tourists leave in this country from
twelve to twenty million sterling at
least per annum? Such is the fact.
Docs anybody imagine that they come
here to look at our buildings and
streets? No. Upon reflection, nobody
can fail to see that the main reason
why the bulk of them visit us is to see
the places made memorable by Shake
speare, Johnson, Scott and Burns, Dick.
ems and Thackeray, George Eliot and
Charlotte Bronte, Blackmore and
Black. The indie btedpess of Gradgrind
to romance is, therefore, by no means
inconsiderable, particularly when it is
rcmem bered that we, too, spend con-
siderable sum yearly in the same direc-
ton. Shakespeare has indirectly be-
slowed millions of pounds on the in
habitants of those places with which
his name is associated. Not to mention
Stratford-on-Avon, there is, for cx-
ample, Rochester, town which unites
recollections of the great dramatist
and of Dickens. Near Gad's Hill stands
an inn on the very spot that Shake
speare doubtless had in his mind when
writing that scene in Henry w., where
Falstaff meets with the ''men in buck
ram" Round about, as everybody
knows, are many buildings and dis
tricts made famous by the Gre
ator of the Pickwicx Club. To
this neighborhood American pilgrims
come in shoals, either before going or
after having gone around such bits of
Dickens London as still remain. Scott,
even while living, enriched whole dis
tricts When ''St. Romans Well' was
published the notables of the little
town honored in the romance voted by
acclamation,' says Loclzhart, "that the
old name of Innerleithen should be, as
far as possible, dropped thenceforth,
and that of ST. Romans adopted. Nor
were they mistaken in their auguries.
An unheard-of influx of water bibbers
forthwith crowned their hopes; and

Any Farmer Can Make 1t If He Follows
Directions.
The practice of feeding hay and corn
fodder to sheep by scattering it on the
ground is very wasteful, to say the
least. The sheep is very particular
about its food, refusing all soiled parti-
cles, and have found that by feeding
on the ground we lose about one-half
the feeding value. We have tried vari-
Gus kinds of racks, but have settled
down to simple Slated rack that any
farmer can make, which will describe

Richardson.
The man did so.

The physician then went and lay
down on a sofa and asked the gentle

''It has gone down to sixty-four," he
said, in establishment "What an ex-
traordinary thing!'
when you lie down at night" said
the physician, ''that is the way nature
takes to give your heart rest. You may
know nothing about it, but the organ is
resting to that extent; and if you reckon
the rate, it involves good deal of rest,
because, in lying down, the heart is do

multiply that by sixty, and it is six
hundred; multiply it by eight hours
and, within fraction, there is differ
ence of five thousand strokes: and as the
heart is throwing six ounces of blood at
every stroke, it makes difference of
thirty thousand ounces of life during
the night. When I lie down at night
without any alcohol, that is the rest my
heart gets.

collapse into a helpless heap when their

mildew. AS the fruit grows just above
the lower wire, it is, as rule, uniform
in size and quality and also in ripening,
and very convenient in picking. There
is room for the vine to grow and de-
velop its wood, fruit and foliage, and
as the vines grow along the top wire
they serve as protection to the fruit
from storms, sun and heavy dews, thus
obviating the necessity of the use of

TO PAY OVER THE DIRECTTAx
MONEY

Governor Fowle has received
from the Treasury of the United
States $377,s36,43 direct tax mon
ey, to be refunded to the persons, or
their legal representatives in the
State, Who paid the said tax to the
United States, during or after the
war, to the time its collection was
suspended in August 1866. III
Congress at the last session appro-
pliated this money, and directed its
payment to the Governor, to be re-
ceived by him in trust, and paid
out to the persons entitled to receive
it, as he should ascertain from the
tax receipts they might hold, or by
records OF payment preserved in the
Treasury Department at Washing
Col. Fred A. Odds, Of Raleigh,
furnishes the press the following
information upon the subject of
value to the public:
There are on file in the treasury
department of the United States at
least 125, possibly $50 books of the
stubs of tax receipts. A careful
search for these is now being made
The state will have to make copies
of the assessment books and tax re-
ceipt books. The books have not
yet been turned over to the state for
examination, nor is the exact num-
Der of the books or Of the amount of
work to be done yet ascertained.
It is not possible as yet accurately
to estimate the length of time which
this work will require, but it will
probably be at least sixty days be
fore the payment Of claims can begin.
All haste consistent with accuracy
will be used. Until the copies are re-
ceived in Raleigh, there is no infor-
nation, whatever, in the governors
Office concerning the names Of the
persons who paid the taxes and the
amount paid. The names and
amounts will be sent TO the counties
as soon as practicable. = $50 aaja
81 NO interest upon the taxes was
paid to the governor and. none can
be paid to the tax payer. No pen
alties, interest or costs, were refund
I'd, and none can be paid. IF the
tax payer has lost or nislaid the tax
receipt, it will not prevent the col
lection of the tax, provided the name
and the amount appears on the stub
Of the tax receipt books and the as
signment book.
If the. person who paid the tax is
dead under the. terms of the act of
congress, ,the,amount can be refund
ed only to the legal representative,
that is the administrators or executor.
No widow or heir can collect. with

claims and the collection of the.
amounts due.

A NEW COURT HOUSE.
Proposition TO Secure one without
xfng the People = Cent.

+ EDITOR OF THE H.YlSEN r1SEI:
lit is evident to any one visit
ing Winston, that our present
court house is a disgrace to the
wealthy county OF Forsyth.
1t is old fashioned in style, in
conveniently constructed and
entirely to small for the transac-
ton of business and thecomforts
OF. those compelled. to- attend
| 1t Is also apparent to any one
who will examine the records
that our county commissioners
and board of justices do not in
tend to exercise the power that
they possess md order the build
ing of Il new court house and to
submit the question to the voters
of the county, owing to the hun
dreds of cross-road politicians
and demigogues, would be worse
than useless.
But something must be done !;
the law cannot properly be en-
forced, and the business transac-
ted in the present 'fshanty," so
we simply make a suggestion, to
be acted upon, if deemed wise and
eXpedient, by which the county
can obtain a handsome building
and still there be no increase of
taxes upon the people.
The present court house is sit
ted on the square in the centre
of business, with wagons, street
cars, ana other vehicles constant
ly passing on every side. until at
times, especially in the summer
when the windows are compelled
to be up, the noise is simply
deafening, until it is impossible
for Judges, juries, lawyers or
people to properly carry on the
business of the court.
A court house ought to be in a
quiet place, away from the tur-
MOL and noise of a hustling
noisy town like Winston, SO as
a remedy for this evil. | now
suggest that our officers sell the
court house and it's square to
the town of Winston for a Park,
or 10 some company for the site
ola handsome hotel, and with
the money thus acquired, they
can purchase a lot off of the bust
ness centers,. and erect a court
house that will be an ornament
to the county. -
This is my suggestion, let us
hear from you Mr.. Editor. and
others for the time has arisen for
some action on this court house
matter. LEN.
