The report of the Trustee will
show you that our public school
districts with some exceptions are
ir a healthy condition. The same
may be said Of the highway dis
tricts. | believe it would be proper
and right that this court pass an
order instructing the clerk to mott
! fy the Highway commissioner Of
of each Road District not to receive
any labor in the payment of the
five cents tax levied for highway
purposes, as it will'require all that
can be had from that levy to buy
tools and pay other expenses.
OUR RAIL ROAD BONDS.
The continued yearly payment
of $4,000 interest without the pay
ment of one cent of the principle
Of this debt, is beginning TO worry
many of our tax payers, Can this
court continue longer to just levy
a tax sufficient to meet the yearly
interest?
Justice to ourselves and the tax
payers of the county demand we
at once commence the liquidation
of the principle, and thereby as
fast as possible relieve the people
from the curse of interest. There
is now in the hands of the Trustee
$1.170 which should be paid as for
as it will go on the principle The
only Section of law authorizing
this court to levy tax for R, R,
purposes is 1899 of the code and as
also brought forward in Sec. IL
chapter 3 Acts of 1887.
This law not only gives us the
privilege, but makes it our duty
to levy a tax on all property privi-
ledges and persons liable by law to
taxation within the county limits
to meet the installments. Does
| the present levy as it now stands
or any former levy for this purpose
meet the requirements of this law?
We have complied with the law as
to property and privileges, but as
to persons liable by law to taxa
ton we say no!
Why this tlmidity on our part,
Have we any preference in this
matter? If so; From whence does
it come? Did not all vote for the
subscription, and do not all enjoy
whatever advantage the Rail Road
brought? Ifso, why not all pay
proportionately? Fifty cents OF
one dollar once year from each
poll TAX payer is a small matter
yet when we place this all together
it will help much in the payment
of these bonds which mature il

REV. DR.. CARRIERS MARRIAGE
One of the most interesting matters
which will come up before the Southern
Methodist conference, which meets in
Richmond early next month, will be
that OF Rev. DR.. George W. Carter,
in connection with his recent marriage.
DR.. Carter, who is one of the best
known members of the Virginia confer
ence, a few months ago was married to
a young lady of Lynchburg. The par
ents of the bride, who was about nine
teen, opposed the match, and the
couple went Washington, where the
ceremony was performed. No minis
ter of the Methodist Church may un.
der church law perform the marriage
ceremony in case where either party
to the contract mas been divorced, the
husband and wife 80 divorced being
then alive. 1t will be charged that,
Notwithstanding this law of the church,
Dr.. Carter himself contracted mar
rage, being a divorced man. 1t is
further said that DR.. Carter will plead
hat he was not divorced man in the
eyes of the law at the time that bis last
marriage was contracted, and will raise
very ice question of law which will
perpiex the conference.
Another matter which will probably
casion lively discussion is the con-
t.oversy between Rev. DIR. Lsfferty
and Revs. James Cannon and r. n.
Bennett.

600, $117 900 of which would come from
cities, railroads and banks, which
fund should be apportioned among the

ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA.
The annual meeting of the Virginia
division of the Association of the Army

mond last night. Gen. Clement A.
Evans, of Atlanta, Ga, delivered the
address. His subject was "The Con-
tributions of the South to the Greatness

blame for the lack of knowledge the
world possessed about the claims of this
section of the country. They had me-
elected, the speaker said, to collect this
information and have it properly dis
seminated. Among those present were
ex-senator Hunton, Congressman Ty-

A NORTHERN man who believes in
the social equality of negroes engaged
q band of more than hundred of them,
men and women, in New York, for q
minstrel troupe, and after dressing
them in the most fantastic style, paraded
them through the streets, for houis at a
time, of many of the cities and towns of
that State during the day, and at night
made them sing and dance before large
audiences, and then, in distant town,
and without having paid them one
silver, abandoned them to get home as
best they could, which most of them
did by tramping the entire distance.
If negroes were wise they would dis
trust all white men who treat them as
social equals. Social equality to them
Invariably comes high.
