REPEAL THE TAX.

The present Legislature should re
peal the law which imposes a special
tax on tobacco warehouses. 1t is
an unjust tax, and it is hard to IN
derstand just why it was imposed.
Tobacco, in it's various manufacture
ed forms, has to bear a sufficient
burden of taxation, without impos-
ing an additional burden by taxing
the warehouses that handle the leaf
for the farmers.
If the warehouse men would move
upon the Legislature with concert OF
action we believe that a repeal ofthe
law might be secured, but it cannot
be done in any other way.
Ofcourse the tax has to be paid,
in one way or another, by the farm
er, and as rule he gets little enough
pay for his crop without further re-
ducing his receipts by this useless tax.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum, which
Latin motto means that nothing
evil should be spoken of the dead,
has no application in the office of
the New York Sun, which declares
that the late Rutherford B. Hayes
was "a party to the conspiracy by
which he profited' when he became
President. That paper also casts a
slur upon the dead in thisparagraph:

to which anothe had been elected,

ing Hot Shot Into Each Other, on
Paper-Editor Gillian also Charac-
terizes Hon. A. III. A. W iIIiams as "a
Hypocrite. Migrate and PoItroon."
The editors of Webster's Weekly
and the Review, both published at
Reldsville, have been exchanging hot
shot for some time. The last issue of
Weekly charged that the editor of the
Review had accepted aid from Con-
gresham Williams in his recent libel
suit with Brewer The Review Re
plies as follows:
The editor of the Review again nails
the charge as false that he accepted
any help from Williams. Rather than
Obllgate and compromise himself to
such hypocrite, migrate and poltroon
he mOrtgaged-to meet the expenses
of the suit-the homestead of his
childhood around which clustered the
happiest and most hallowed associa-
tions of his life-the roof of which
covered the dying bed of a widowed
mother, who while yet in her right
mind with palsied and trembling
hand fixed her signature to the paper.
And now to John r. Webster who
has graIuitously introduced his per-
sonality into matter which did not
concern him: whom we have caught
time and again in the act of lying
about us with intent to injure our
good name and break down the char
acter of which we have been the arch
itect before the people of Reidsville
from infancy up-we again apply the
epithets and stigma of liar. cow
ard and scoundrel and ask, what
are you going to do about it?"

In lecture at Durham DR.. James
Redley laid down the fundamental
proposition that "Happiness IS not

conclusion naturally follows that
those who live in accordance With
divine law are the happiest. This is

is crazy enough to believe that wealth
constitutes happiness would be crazy
enough to assert that the 500. 900
