THE ROANOKE BASEBALL TEAM.

II Roanoke is to have q baseball team
this year it is about time some action
was taken looking to its formation. The
baseball season will soon open and the
chances are that o State or Southern
league will be formed and Roanoke
should, by all means, be a memb Der of
this league.
1t is admirably situated for such q
purpose being within a few hours ride
from half dozen good ball towns. If
first class club is organized here there
is no question but what it will receive
proper support. There are an unusually
large number of baseball cranks in
Roanoke who would attend the games,
but like the cranks they like good ball
Or none. 1t would be poor policy to at
tempt to organize an inferior club here.

The able arguments OF Congress
man Stock dale, of this district, on
Indian Schools, were approved by
the house, and the ventilation of
the matter resulted In reduction
of 100000 IN expenditures. We
make the following extracts from
Mr.. Stockdale's speech in regard
to the subject:
"But | would like to see some
people whose children go OUT dallv

A Jackson press Dispatch says
that Gov. Stone has suspended j.
l. Hunter. sheriff and tax-coll ector
of Scott county. The suspension
was made under section 554 of the
code, which provides that where
a tax collector fails to settle with
the State and county every month,
the Governor may suspend him.
Hunter failed to make his settle.

He made it with the State. His
safe was robbed a short ago of
about $4,000; at the time he was at

THE DIRECT TAX.

In answer to numerous inquiries
Gov. Stone has promulgated the
following, telling what the direct
taxls:
By an act OF Congress of the
United States, approved August D.,
1851, tax of $50, 100000 was lev
led on the lands of the citizens Of
the United States for war purposes.
Of this amount the sum OF S4l3,-
004 04 was appoItioned to the
State Of Mississippi, to be collected
from the citizens on their lands.
The tax could not be collected in
the Southern States because of the
war. In January, 1866, the collec-
ton was commenced in Mississlp.
pr, aud suspended in the month of
June of that year. The amount
collected was $50 5S4.55, most of
which was paid by the citizens of
Kinds, Warren and Adams coun
ties. BY an act of Congress, APP
proved March 2, 1891, this tax is to
be refunded t. those who paid it
or to their legal representatives. 1t
will be seen that it was wholly a
land fax, levied upon nothing but
land, and that chose who paid the
cotton tax or tax on merchandise
or other property haVe no CLAIM or
interest whatever IN the tax TO be
refunded. When the State is ready
to commence retunding due notice
will be given through the Jackson
Clarion and the press generally,
and every facility Will be Afforded
claimants Tor the collection ftheir
claims with as little delay and ex-
pense as possible. Claimants aie
to make no sacrifice of their
claims, but to hold them until no
tice is gwen them, then send them
as they may be directed, and get
their money with the least posi-

A Practical Suggestion.

One of the most practical suggestions
for service is that of the woman who comes
in to work 'by the day There is very
much more in this idea of daily service, or
of employing woman who, in common
Parance. docs days work. than has
ever been fully developed. Washing and
scrubbing are, at present the principal
duties of such workers But these. al
though they represent the hardest labor,
cover only a small part of the daily house
work.
The sweeping and busting. the sewing.
the cooking, the dish washing the clear
ing up most interminabe of taSks-the
mending and the chamber work-all these
come into the home life and into the line
OF a housekeeper' duties. All tn, Sc have
to be overlooked. Somebody has to see
that they are we'll done, often to do them.
And tie time and patience and the
strength which go into these little
things nobody but the woman who does
them knows.
Darning stockings, with the attendant
horrors of mending and sewing on of but
tons. represents a batch of work which
comes regularly every week to be done.
and is a sore trial to the woman who longs
for the time it takes that she NAV give it
"' bNlttl tIlllSS. Ct SIlG Knows IneSe
tasks are necessary, and that they must be
accomplished for the comfort and we'll be
ing of the family in her charge.
Now there must surely be plenty of
women who cannot do finished or high
class work, yet to whom mending and
stocking clearing up of rooms
and busting, would be light and agreeable
work, women who, having ample time.
would be willing to do such important vet
trivial house work for the small sum of
money the service is worth. These need
not be highly educated or very young
women; they need only be willing, quick
and ready to do well any and every tritle
which comes up for somebody to do
There are certainly plenty of places wait
ing for just such workers.
We hear much of the women who are
starving in making shirts at three cents
apiece, and trousers at five cents pair
The tales are too well authenticated to be
doubted. But surely the work above
suggested would be easier, pleasanter
and more profitable to the women who
are keeping soul and body together on
Such pittanee as that. [Harper's Bazar
