CuAw Cry. Va. March 3o.--one Of the
attorneys for this county informed me
that the discrepancy between the esti-
mate OF the length of the Atlantic and
Danville railroad through this county for
taxation and the distance measured for
county bonds will develop the fact that
the over-issue of bonds by Meckleuburg
county will approximate $4,000. The au-
thorlties will investigate the matter and
find out the elastic and contracting
powers of a railroad bed. 1t has already
been brought 10 the attention of the
United States District Court. the tribunal
controlling the railroad since 1t has been
IN the hands of a receiver.
USELESS LAW.
Tho Board of Supervisors Of this county
paid out last year about $1,000 for hawk
scaips, and the estimate is LOO for tins
year. As none OF the adjoining counties
have such law, there Is no protection
from their depredations from our neigh
bors over the county border and no ma
terial benefit ever derived, except to scalp
gatherers, and no diminution OF tne
chicken-catchers, il is proposed to abolish
such an old-fogy law at the next meeting
OF the board. The surprise Is that the
county money should have ever been APP
propriated to och an impracncable scheme
Is hawk-extermination.
INDICATION OF THRIFT.
The farmers during this good spell OF
working weather are busily engaged pre-
pairing for crops. large number OF mules
have been sold here recently 10 farmers,
which is a good indication OF thrlft ana
work ahead. Labor Is also more plentitul
since the completion OF the railroads
through the county.
A salesman for a guano company VINO
travels extensively informed me yesterday
that from his observation the farmers III
the tobacco producing section OF Virginia
were better OF than they have been Tor Ten

eion they we're not so prosperous.
