PENNSYLVANIA FOx-HU NTING.
EngInnd's Packs and Hunts Have
American ImIfnfnrs.

While there is n general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania, says the New York
Times. There are in the southeastern
counties as fine packs of hounds as can
be shown in England, though fewer in
number, and some horses that hold
their own against the best of English
importations over as stiff a country
as that hunted by the famous Quorn
pack of which the earl of Lonsslale is
master. At a recent run $50 couples of
hounds were out and about 200 riders.
just now there is CONSERVATION among
owners of the Pennsylvania hounds be-
cause of an outbreak of rabies in the
Strafford Hunt kennels, which has ne
ceSsitated the killing of the entire pack
of 25, many of them dogs imported
from noted English packs. \ rabid cur
bit one of the hounds a few weeks ago,
and this dog, after a recent run, at
tackled other occupants of the kennels.
So all We're killed as n matter of safety.
There is fear that other hounds in OF h
er packs have been bitten, and that an
outbreak of hydrophobia throughout
the hunting district may follow. MI
possible precautions to prevent this dis
aster have been taken, and hounds
which have been exposed are to be iso-
lated for a time

Prof. Frankland told sCme very inter
esting things about microbes in water
during Il recent lecture at the Royal
institute. He said that these little or
eanisms sent into the Niagara river
from the sewers of Buffalo take
the tremendous leap over the great
falls, and pass through the fearful tur-
moil of the rapids and whiTlpooiS he
meath with little or no h:rm. But after
they have reached the placid waters Of
Lake Ontario they rapidly perish. and
almost entirely disappear. This and
many other similar facts were adduced
to show that quiet subsistence in undis-
turbed water is far more fatal TO hac-
.erial life than the most violent agita-
tion i'm contact with atmospheric air.
Hence Prof. Frankland argues that the
storage of water in reservoirs is an cN-
cellent method of freeing it from mi
crobes.-Youth's Companion

MIR. HARRISON ANSWERED.

The wisdom of the News and Observer
in waiting for facts before printing ME-
Harrison's card is fully established by
the following correspondence
Halifax, n. c., Oct. 5, 1897.
Editor News and Observer:
Recently Mr.. r. n. Harrison, chair
man OF the present board of CommlS-
sjoners Of Halifax county, published Il
statement in the News Reporter purport-
inc to defend the Management OF the
fusion" board of commissioners of this
county and explain why Halifax county
scr;nt was Mt a discount. MIR. Harrison
takes the News and Observer to task for
refusing to publish his statement and
charges it with peryerting the facts and
smotheriug the truth about the mattef.
4 knowledge of the whole truth Will
show Mr.. Harrison himself to be guilty
of that fault, and the failure OF the News
and Observer to publish his statement
was very probably on account OF It's
unwillngness to publish perverted facts.
Mr.. Harrison tells the truth after
fashion, but he does not tell the whole
truth. In fact, he tells very small
fragment of it, and that is so cunn!n2iy
chosen and stated that it makes an en-
tirey false impression
lie states IIldl NIlPl TIRE i'CIiptl"tA|
board went out last December it left the
county indebted S10.910.
Now that is partly true. They did
leave outstanding bonds, unmatured, to
the amount of lS7.S47.26 only, but moth
ing else. Why did he not state the whole
truth. give the nature and correct
amount of the Indebtedness, and say
that not one cent of it was then due:
That it was divided into ten payments
running over period of five years. AMI
that the first of these payments did not
become due until nearly twelve months
thereafter?
If he did not wish to pervert facts why
did he so state this Indebtedness as to
make the impression that it was past
due. and the Democratic board had fail
ed TO meet it, when in fact the Demo-
cratic board paid up every single cent
of county Indebtedness of every descrip-
ton that was due up to and including
the last of its service. and in addition
paid over to the fusion" administra-
ton 800 in cash?
He still further perverts this much
strained fact when he offers it as an
excuse for the failure of the present
board to meet the current expenses of
the county in such a manner as to con
vey the false impression that they had
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1897-10-24

had to pay it, or at least a portion of it,
He we'll knows that this indebtedness,
even if past due, could not impair their
ability to meet current expenses, unless
they had paid something on it. They
have not paid a cent of it. Therefore it
has drawn nothing from the fund with
which they should have met current eX-
penses, and has no hearing upon the fact
that the county script is at discount.
The truth is that they have not paid any
of the Indebtedness nor met current eX-
penses either. People holding jury tick
cts and county orders for witnesses fees
and other county expenses, have been
going about the streets hunting some one
to discount their script at from 10 to p
per cent, and much of the time even the
kconers of the county home and jail have
had TO get private persons to cash or
discount their county orders that the
inmates Of those institutions might be
provided for-something that has not
hcnn known in this county since the Re
puhlicans were in power in the 70's.
, Mr.. Harrison claims to have had to
pay n portion of revenue on the "unlist-
ed Indebtedness" of the county We do
not understand the phrase "o|pss t
means current expenses, but they have
not had 10 pay, nor have they paid one
cent upon any obligation or liability
made or incurred by the Democratic
board
The much talked of Indebtedness of
fhe county above mentioned arose as
follows: In 1896 the Democratic board
contracted for the building of thoroughly
fire proof offices for the clerk and regis
ter of deeds, fitted up with the most mod
ern steel roller shelves and files; and a
fire proof jail, fitted with the best steel
cells and the most improved sanitary ar
engagements. of which tho county stood
i'm great need. These buildings are sec
ond to none in North Carolina. and are
great credit to the county Their cost
was about $500. which was divided in
to twelve installments, two of which
we're payable in the fall of 1896 and Of
the remaining ten two were TO be pad
each fall for five years. The Democratic
board paid the first two instalments
(the only ones payable during their adj
mipistra tom in the fall of 1896, leaving
no other payments due on said contracts
until the fall of 1897, nearly twelve
months after the fusion board took con-
troll of the county. In these ten deferred
payments alone consists the entire in
debtedness so much Haunted by Mr.,
Harrison. They amounted to S7,S47 20
and no more. including all interest that
will accrue up to maturity of each pay
ment-less than 81 600 per year for the
five years.
Outside of these bonds the Democratic
board did not leave one cent outstand-
ING against the country-in other words,
upon retiring, they paid up every single
claim of any kind that was due, and
turned over to the fusion board 500
in cash.
For several years prior to 1896 the
Democratic board had reduced the taxes

reflection would have convinced you that
unfortunate circumstances could IN no
wise be charged to the mismapa cement
of the present Board, who came into or

the Board it will only be necessary Tor

A very small percentage of old taxes
due the county have been paid to and
imbursed by the present Board, and a
norton of the receipts have been paid
to cancel the unlisted Indebtedness OF
the county not embraced in the above
statement. 1t is the aim and hope of the
present Board by economy and good
management, to adjust and liquidate the
debt of the county which they found
to exist when they came into power, and
