COMMISSIONERS MAGISTRATES.
They VIII Meet on Monday tn Legislatt
for HaiifaX-Their Report-PersonaI.


SCOTLAND NECK. y. c.. June o.
Special THE county commissioners VIII
next Monday hold joint session with
the Board Of Magistrates of the county.
They will elect county superintendent
OF public instruction. The commissioners
will present their annual report to the
magistrates relative to the financial con-
dition of the county. That report VIII
say that the taxable property in the
county Is $3,7s9S9l The number of taxa
BILE polls is 1854. There was decrease
I'm taxable property from 1892 TO 1898 OF
$2o coo, and decrease in the number Of
polls OF 81, but the decrease In taxable
property from 1892 TO 1898 was much less
than from 1891 to 1892. The commissioners
think that the condition OF the county has
improved during the last year.
The system of collecting taxes through
special collectors has proved to be superior
to the system Of collecting through the
Sheriff and his deputies, and the commits
sloners will recommend that suitable en-
actment by the next Legislature be
sought to provide for the system as a
permanency.
The white people OF the county number
l,j6l polls and list 50, 1888 of the pro-
perty; the colored polls number 2.Q25 and
list $3.50 .266 of the property. The tax
collected from the railroads that run
through the county is $35SO.63.
The Board of Commissioners has been
allowing pension to t~enty-three Confede-
rate soldiers, which allowance averages
SIS per month. They also help sixteen
poor besides those cared for in the
county home, paying about so per month
for the sixteen.
The board will recommend that the levy
on property for taxes be made GO 1-3 cents,
instead of 60 cents. as levied last year.
The past few nights have been very
cool Some say they expected to see
frost.
