THE NEW SCHOOL LAW.

We have a letter from Mr.. W. B
Fleming, member of the House from
Warren county, informing us that the
bill published in our last issue, THE
new school law" was a copy of the
original bill prepared by Mr.. Keathly,
member from Duplin county, and not
the law as it now stands. However,
The only changes were in sections Is
and II. Sections 18and19 were stricken
out when the bill finally passed. The
two sections-15 and 17-should read
as follows:
s'SEC. Is. That section 1856 be
amended by striking out the words
county superintendent of public in
struction' wherever they appear IN
said section, and insert in lieu thereof
the words, clerk of the board of county
commissioners"
''Sec. II. This act shall be enforced
on and after its ratification"
To get a correct copy Of the school
law as passed paste the two sections
over the corresponding sections printed
in this paper last week, and cut OF
sections Is and 19.

A NEW TAX LAW.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
You can confer a great favor upon
many of your readers by calling their
attention to the new law in regard to
land sold for taxes. In some counties
there are thousands of acrCs now ad-
vertised to be sold. The new law re-,
quires the sheriff to sell to the HIGHEST
best bidder, the sheriff to give DUR
chaser a certificate, and if not re-
deemed In twelve months, he is bound
to furnish the purchaser with a deed
in fee. The original owner has a right
to redeem the land Sd sold for taxes by
paying the purchaser all the tax and
costs together with twenty per cent.
on all taxes and costs, but does not
allow any person to loan the money to
the party with which to pay such tax
and charge over six per cent. interest.
The law does not limit the bidder in
such cases to the tax, plees, costs, etc,
He (the sheriff. shall sell to the 'high-
est and best bidder for cash" etc is
the language of the law. And if such
property is not redeemed in twelve
months, by the payment to the pur-
Chaser all he has bid with, with twenty
per cent, the land is gore. The law
ought to have limited the purchaser to
the amount of tax and costs, but it
does not.
In such sales the sheriff may stop
the bidding when his claims are
reached if he chooses, but the new law
sets 10 limit.
Just why a money lender is restricted
to SIX per cent interest on money
loaned for any other purposes, and
yet if he buys your land when
sold for taxes, the law ccmpells him

There is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure Will
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J.. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

Launched Upon Its Political Ca
reer Yesterday.
AMERICAN PATRIOTS ON TOP
Its Especial Mission Is to Advance the
Cause of Free Silver
The Officers.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-W H. Harvey, the
oracle of free silver, who is better
known as "Coin," today launched his
new political party. According to the
press notice which Harvey gave out, 1t
is to be known as Patriots of America.
It's especial mission is to advance the
cause Of free silver, as we'll as to elm
mate selishness from politics. and it Is
expected to rapidly overcome all exist
ing political parties. The national Off
GERS are w. II. Harvey, first national
patriot; Charles II. Mcclure, national
recorder, and James F. Adams, national
treasurer.
Harvey was first elected head Of the
order and he then appointed Messrs.
Adams and Mcclure, and the organiza-
ton was declared complete. No salary
attaches to any of the offices but that of
national recorder, and Mr.. Mcclure an
nounces he will not accept this.
On the first Tuesday of next April.
however, when the organization is ex-
pected to be in good working order, an
election will be held and a new set of
officers chosen, or the present set re-
elcted.
The constitution expressly provides
that no national officer can accept any
elective or appointive Office, nor can he
acquire private property in excess of
500, 900. A side order, called the Daugh-
ters of the Republic, is also to be start
ed. It's membership will be confined to
the gentler sex, and the head of it will
carry the proud title Of the first woman
of the republic" 1t is not to be a fe-
male suffragist organization, but rather
a helping hand to the Partiots Of Amer
ioa, who are expected to do the voting.

REALTY MUST PAY The RECKONING
street Grading sun From Cheney De.
cided by the Supreme Court.

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court has reversed judgment in the case
Of James Fendley, respondent VS.. J. S.
Hull, city treasurer of Cheney. This ap-
peal is from an order Of the superior court
directing the issuance of peremptory
writ of mandamus requiring appellant to
make a call for certain warrants issued
by the city and pay the same, which war
rants were issued to respondent for pay
ment Of certain street grading and were
drawn upon the general fund. The treas
urer contended that the city authorities
had no power to enter into contract
with respondent providing for the pay
ment of street grading out of the general
fund. The supreme court holds that the
method of grading streets at the cost and
expense of owners of parcels Of land
fronting on such street must prevail to
the exclusion of all others.

murder in the first degree, but the trial
resulted in a verdict in the second de-

manded. Upon another trial defendant
interposed a plea that the former trial
was an acquittal OF murder in the first
degree and asked to be put upon trial for
murder in the second degree. The SUI
perior court held that the plea of former
acquittal was not sustained and allowed
defendant to be again put on trial for
murder in the first degree. Upon such
trial defendant was again convicted Of
murder in the second degree, from which
judgment this appeal was taken.

ARE SHUT UP IN A RUSSIAN JAIL
2 .f,een Americans Supposed TO BE con
fined on saghaIien Island.

San Francisco, Dec. 14.-t1ve odh
r,,oroisco seafaring men and 10 other
Americans are supposed to be helo at
Saghalien prison by the Russian author-
tiles for prohibitory fishing IN SIBERIAN
waters. The five San Franciscoans are
Of a party of seal hunters that lelI nele
about one year ago on the steamer Clty
of Pelxin to join John Kennan's hShlhs
crew that has headquarters at Hako-
date and Yokohama. The men MISS
ing are: Frank Peterson, James Ma
loney, Steve Brennan, r. Sheehy ana
Ned Howe.
In addition to these men, in Whom
local interest will naturally center, are
the 10 American seamen and hunters:
John Ross, James Mccarthy, John
Riley, r. Hill, A. Anderson. II. Carlson
Edward Lankin Alexander Lericke, c.
l.. Nelson and K. Ericcsen.
Two of the party seized by the Rus
slams and hurried to Saghalien prison
are said to be British subjects. They
are G. Campbel' and A. Munger.
The Russian penalty for fishing IN
the waters off the coast of Saghalien
island and Siberia is imprisonment for
life in the island prison, where no man
can hope to escape the persecution or
petty tyrants and the abuses of laws
that govern tyranny. The men under
arrest have undoubtedly trespassed on
Russia's alleged territory, but there is
some question as to the jurisdiction Of
the car Of the island.
KEENAN, has appealed to the secretary
of state at Washington in behalf Of his
men, asking the intervention Of the
United States government. The men
were on the schooner Saipan when she
was seized by the Russians.
