Will Not Pay the $50.

A Raleigh correspondent says that
the public printers have delivered to
the Secretary of State eighteen copies
of the Acts of 1895, four days later
than the proper time for the delivery.
They claim that the indexes were not
furnished Them by the Secretary of
State. and by the clerks of the Senate
and House until the 18th instant. IN
der the circumstances the Auditor
will not impose the penalty of $50 d
day on the public printers.
Another Correspondent says: In the
laws which have just been received
from the State printers, three acts
appear twice. The act to reduce fees
of cotton weighers in Franklin county
appears in one instance as having been
ratified on the 18th, in another it ap-
pears having been ratified on the 18th.

Robbed and Set on Fire.

A distardly act was perpetrated near
Stony Hill, Wilkes county, on Friday
night, 18th inst. A party broke into
the store of G. A. Baxley and secured,
as near as can be estimated, about
5000 worth of goods Not content
with securing the goods, they tried to
burn the building with the remaining
contents. Several shirts were placed
on the floor around keg of powder
and they were then set on fire. For
tunately the shirts were made Of yarn
and didn't burn very rapidly-they
failed to ignite the powder keg,
though it was considerably scOrched.
The next morning the store was full
of smoke and the shirts were still
smouldering. There is no clue as to
who the perpetrators are, but several
search warrants have been issued, and
il is expected that arrests will follow.

Marriage Not LEGAL Here.

The Raleigh correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer says: There ap-
pears to be an unfortunate ending to
the marriage of Mr.. Adolph G. Bauer.
the Raleigh architect, and Miss
Rachel Blythe. As you were informed
the lady is a Cherokee Indian. Her
father was for several terms member
of the Legislature and was man of
influence. He was also Mason. his
daughter was the ward of Maj. John
r. Neathery, a very prominent Mason,
and was educated at Thomasville and
at the Oxford Orphan Asylum. Mr..
Bauer and Miss Blythe were married
at Washington, d. c., and it was
their belief, and also that of their
friends, that their marriage there
would be valid in North Carolina.
Such it now seems is not the case, as
the local law governs. Here the law
forbids the inter-marriage of whites
and Indians TO the the third genera
tion, inclusive. The law in this case
works great hardship. 1t does not
appear that Mr.. and Mrs. Bauer can
return here, as they would be liable to
Indictment. Their many friends in
this city are greatly distressed by
reason of these facts.

The following are the revenue col

THE WINSTON GYMN AsIUM CLUB,
It Eas Been Organized With Forty
Members-The Officers.

Members-The Officers
"The Winston Gymnasium Club" is
the name of an organization that was
perfected last week, by the boys of
Winston, between the ages of II and
2l years. A meeting was held in the
Mayors courtroom, at $50 O'Clock,
when the organization was perfected.
The Ciub already has membership
of forty. and this number will be
largely increased.
: is the intention of the Club to
rent two spacious and conveniently
located rooms on the third floor of the
Municipal building and equip therein
hrst-clasS gymnasium, putting in
apparatus for the physical develop
ment of the young men. The initiation
fee has been placed at nominal figure,
also the monthly dues.
a club of this kind has been greatly
needed in this city for quite a while,
in fact ever since the Y. M. T.. A.
gymnasium hall was destroyed by fire
several years ago. Since that time
our young men have been devoid of
the gymnastical advantages needed,
and now that the boys have started
the ball to rolling" our citizens should
see to it that the end desired by the
Club is successfully accomplished.
The following officers were elected
last night: President, G. Macy Alsop;
Vice-President. Paul l.. Miller; Secre-
tary, William l.. O'Brien; Assistant
Secretary, Lucius G. Allen; Treasurer,
David Wiley.
The officers elected were declared a
committee to manage the affairs OF
the Club.

PHYSICIANS, DENTISTS, LAWYERS
AND HOTELS.
None of the Tax Has Been Collected In
Forsyth-Sherif Macarthur Re
ceives Instructions


The late Fusion Legislature placed
tax of $40 on all practicing physicians,
dentists and lawyers and also tax of
fifty cents on each bedroom in hotels,
boarding or lodging houses.
Sheriff Macarthur received instruc-
tions last week regarding the new
law. He says that none of the tax
has been collected but that he sup
poses everybody will pay, notwith-
standing the law is very objection
able.
This law went into effect in March
and the following are the two sec
tions, taken from schedule B., in re-
gard to the matter:
SECTION 34.-On all hotels, board
ing and lodging houses, kept for the
business of furnishing either board or
lodging, or both, to regular or tran
sient boarders, for pay or hire, the
sum of fifty (5O) cents for each bed
room kept for said business.
SECTION 35.-On each and every
lawyer, practicing physician and
dentist, the sum of ten (Sl0) dollars;
provided that no city, town or county
shall levy any additional tax on law
yers, practicing ply sicians or dentists.
In section 81, of schedule B, it pro-
vides that all who fail to comply with
the above sections shall be guilty of a
misdemeanOr and that the sheriff
shall have them before any magistrate
or justice of the peace and that the
fine for the offence is not to exceed
$50 or imprisonment, not exceeding
thirty days, or both, and also an ad-
ditiOnal fine OF $50 TO go to the school
fund.-
