had been taken during the last twelve
hours, and that the vote stood ten for

Sheriff to Make Out Delinquent Lists
and Report to Judges.
An opinion has been given by the At
torney-General, which is farreaching
and startling and will cause in
tense anger. 1t is that sections 81
and 53 Of the last revenue act apply to
all taxes alike. Section 80 requires
the Sheriff Of each county to report to
the judge at each term of the Crimi-
nal Court following the time when
taxes should have been paid and make
out delinquent list, while section 53
provides that persons or corporations
who fail to pay taxes shall be punish
able by fine of not over $500 or i'm
prisoned not over six months. The
Attorney-General says: ''At first l
thought the provisions unconstitu-
tional, being in cOntravention of the
provision of the State constitution
which provides that there shall be no
Imprisonment for debt, but after some
consideration l have concluded they

A rate of ten cents on the hundred

The board of aldermen of Asheville
has passed on it's first reading an
ordinance providing a fine of So or
Imprisonment ten days for "any per-
son who shall cast or throw or de.
posit on any sidewalk in any street
or public place within the corporate
limits of the city of Asheville, any
part or portion OF any fruit, or vege-
table, or other substance which,
when stepped upon by any person, is
liable to or does cause him or her to
slip or fall" The ordinance is a
good one. Recently on a street in
Charlotte the writer saw two persons,
within three minutes of each other,
slip on q banana peel, and narrowly
escape falling. A fall in either case
would likely have resulted in a
broken limb. The banana peel fiend
should be punished wherever found.
