only about $4,000, out of total book OF

office seem to he as quiet as soda foun-

so accustomed to extentions that they are

up to the situation about next week, how
ever. Tuesday, December 81, is the last
day on which taxes may be paid without
the penalty. There is no probability ol
an extention. So far, during the time the
books have been open, the treasurer has
issued only about 300 receipts, and there
are something like $500 still to he issued
From about the first of next week on, the
treasurer's office will become so crowded
that it will take an individual from two
to three hours to get a receipt after he ap-
plies for it, and those who don't like to
wait had better call early.

THE RIVER IS OPEN.

Although it is generally known that the
O. r. & C. railroad undertook sometime
ago to open Broad river for navigation
from Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson's Darwin
place down to Lockart Shoals, our readers
have not been informed as to the final re-
suit. A reporter saw Superintendent
Tripp the other day and got the facts.
The work has been completed according
to original intentions. The railroad au-
thorites first gave the job to man from
North Carolina. He spent great deal OF
money and accomplished but little. The
undertaking was then put in charge OF
Mr.. w. S. Wiikerson, of Hickory Grove.
He pushed it with characteristic energy
and intelligence, and had the river open
so quickly, and with such little expense,
that the railroad people were actually as
tonished.
The river has not been brought into use
vet. That is because the big dam down at
Lockhart has not been completed, and
there are no satisfactory facilities for land
ing. For the present freights for Lock-
hart are being hauled from Sharon and
Hickory Grove in wagons; but next sum-
mer, handsome steamer will be put on
the river 1t will not only be used for
carrying freight back and forth, but will
also be pressed into service for the pleasure
of eXcursionists.

- Though it is not unusual for hardened
criminals, and even others for that mat
ter, to make light of religion and profess
their unbelief when not in trouble, the
worst of them weaken before they start
for eternity. a young man named Har-
nv Hayward was convicted in Minneapo-
lis sometime ago of having caused the
murder Of dressmaker named Catherine
Cling, about year ago. The crime was
horrible in it's conception and brutal in
it's execution. The dressmaker had for
sometime been furnishing Hayward with
all the money he needed with which to
sport and gamble, and have big time
generally. He at last induced her to in
sure her life for his benefit, and then paid
a man named BliXt to murder her. The
trial was notable in the criminal annals OF
the country and nothing was left undone
to save Hayward's neck. All efforts
were unavailng, however, and last week
the governor Of Minnesota signed the
death warrant. During his imprison-
ment, Hayward has been regular fiend'

"CitiZens" Of BroXton ford have writ
ten an anonymous letter in regard to the
Isham Kearse murder, in which they at
tempt to excuse the perpetrators. Ac-
cording to the letter, the Negro sometime
ago, made an attempt to commit crimi-
nal assault on respectable married wom-
an, not named. He is accused OF being
the author of several incendiary fires, and
was an allround bad Negro. He was not
whipped very badly, they say, and here is
how they account for his death: He had
been stealing whisky from another Negro,
and had bottle of it in his pocket at the
time he was whipped. The other Negro
had found out that Isham was the thief,
and had poisoned the whisky. 1t was the
drinking of this poisoned whisky that
caused his death. The old woman, they
say, in effect was not hurt much, but just
fell in the pond for the purpose ofgeting
even with the people who had so Justly
tormented her. All this is written as
fact. Ifthe Negro Isham really commit
ted suicide, and the old woman died for
spite, probably the lynchers (save the
mark ought not to be punished but is it
possible that there is a jury in any OF the
lower counties that could be induced to
believe these things?

An exchange gives the following good
and sensible reasons for the hard times OF
which so many complain: 1--WE let our
timber rot and buy plow stocks, single
trees, axehandles, hoehandles and fences.
We throw away our ashes and buy soap
and axle grease. We give away our beet
hides and buy hame strings and shoe
strings. We let our manure go to waste
and buy guano. We buy garden seed in
the spring and buy cabbage in the winter.
We let our land grow up with weeds and
buy our brooms."

remarks to the British at Boston, Eng

country. Possibly, Mr.. Bayard meant
such thing but we do not think so. To
us it looks like very diplomatic way of

you rile those people. If you get them
stirred up very badly, even their president
will not be able to keep them off Of you"

WANTED TO SEE BOB AND A.

Bob Taylor and his brother Alf were in
Charlotte Tuesday night. Almost every
body has heard of Bob and Alf Bob is
Democrat, and Alf is Republican. Bob
has been a member of congress and gov
ernor, and Alf has been to congress. The
Republicans put Alf up against Bob for
governor once; but they got left. The
campaign, however, made both brothers
famous all over the United States,
especially on account of their remarkable
Joint debates. Alf discussed the issues
of the day and talked sense. Bob played
his fiddle and talked nonsense. The
people elected Bob, and he made the
best governor that Tennessee ever had.
Now the brothers are entertaining the
people throughout the country with a
curious creation of Bob's known as "DiXie
and Yankee Doodle" and called by them
a kind of lecture. Their entertainment
i'm Charlotte was rousing success.
According to The Observer of Wednes-
day, a feature of the entertainment was
the presence of Captain $. T.. White, who
is referred to as follows:
"In the audience last night was Captain
S. +. White, of Fort Mill, S. c., wearer
of the gray and a believer in the old
South, not the new. Captain White trav-
els a great deal South; but he will not
cross the Mason and Dixon line. He was
introduced to Ex-Governor Bob" last
night, and the two who "love Dixie best,
because it is the best'' held hands for
some minutes in cordiality Of greeting
and sympathy of word and spirit. Cap
tain White told Governor Taylor that
he had begun the erection of monument
to the faithful servants who stayed on
the plantations during the war. He
intends also building a monument to

that if he did not give permission for
the entrance of the ships, they would
likely enter anyway, and he backed
down. On Tuesday, he issued the
necessary orders for the admission OF
the ships, which lost no time in pass
ing the straits. There is now reason
to believe that the terrible sufierings
of the Armenian martyrs who are left
will be somewhat ameliorated.
Mary Thurman, daughter of Judge
Thurman of Ohio, who was the candi-

with Cleveland at the time of the cleo
ton of Harrison, is said to have struck
a very rich find of gold out near Yu-

was senator, Mary was the recogniz.
ed belle of Washington. She married
a Lieutenant Cowles but they did not
get along we'll, and he allowed her to
get divorce. She went to Texas and
married Thomas Clifford, a dashlng
adventurer, who afterward turned out
to be married man with a living
wife and several children. She next
married a prize fighter known as Bug
Holiday, and settled on some Colora,
do mineral lands purchased for her by
her brother. She has been taking life
at pretty lively rate for several years
and is well-known throughout most oi
the mining camps of Southern Califor-
mia. The report is that she made the
find OF gold herself, while prospecting
in the hills. 1t is said to be the richest
find that has been unearthed for years

The idea of holding a Southern expo
sition in Chicago seems to be good one,
and if carried out is sure to result in
great advantage to the South. Chicago
is hustling, wideawake city that now
disputes with New Yo,k the honor OF
being the greatest metropolis OF the
United States. In few years more there
will be no room for dispute, for the
outlook is that she will be the greatest
city, not only in the United States; but in
the world. The business men OF Chicago
are broad minded, liberal, wealthy, enter
prising and equal to almost any under
taking. All their energies have been
directed toward the West, and are toward
the West yet. This has been one of the
greatest influences in the development
of that section. The South is better and
richer country than the West ever was
or ever will be. 1t has more natural
resources, and is capable OF more devel-
ODnlenl. L OF ODNlOUS IetooiS, q iONiS"
of which is hardly worth while just at
this time, neither New York nor Chicago
has ever taken the fullest advantage OF
these facts, and it is likely that neither
city fully realizes their truth. a big
Southern exposition in Chicago will open
the eyes not only of that city; but OF
the whole North and Northwest as they
have never been opened before, and one
of the results will be wonderful move
ment of capital and enterprise to this
section. 1t is probable that we will be
enabled to grow in decade as much as
we could otherwise expect to grow in
half century, and this long neglected
Southland will speedily become one OF
the wealthiest and most progressive
sections of the Union. We've got the
resources; there is no doubt of that. All
that we need is the necessary capital
and enterprise for development, and no
better plan has been suggested for getting
these things than through big exposition
at Chicago. THE ENQUIRER sincerely
hopes that the scheme will not be allow
ed to fall through.
