Some of Officer Carl Smiths friends
say that the reason Carl missed To at
chicken thief when he shot at him a
month or SO ago was because at the
time the shooting occurred the thief
was in the city jsil and Carl was on
MagOffin avenue, some where near the
mayors house. If the chicken thief
had been block or so nearer Carl
might have accidentally hit him. If
Carl don't get up another shooting
scrape soon the administration might
see the necessity of cutting down the
force Shoot a. any old thing, any
body, bat be careful that you are near
the mayors house, Carl, so he can hear

THE TAX ON RAILROADS.

The article yesterday may be miscon-
strued. There is no tax on gross earn
ings in this State. The State tax paid by
all the railroads combined is only $685.
600, and the school tax $4,000, making
a total of $107, 900. The total tax paid by
the Southern Railway-State and school
tax conjunction it's ,104 miles of road
in the State is less than half the salary it
is said to pay one officer alone. By ad-
ding up the taxes paid, State, county,
city and school. it is claimed that the
taxes would amount to what would be
per cent on gross earnings, and that is
what the News and Observer meant in
its article yesterday. But in those
States which levy a tax on gross earn
ings it is in addition to property tax.

LA GRIPPE.

Condition of the System Which This

Without reasing the discussion as to
what la grippe may or may not be, at
least this much is certain, and admitted
by all: that it will produce catarrh if
not promptly and properly cured. 1t

Of all meaning or desirability. The spe-

cribe; no doubt it is. But the effects
of la grippe need no discussion. Poop
pie understand that themselves. Expert
ence may be hard and bitter teacher.
but the lessons learned in this school
are to the point and accurate. There is
no remedy in the world that meets the
conditions produced by la grippe better
than the remedy Pe-ru-na.
Hon. Josiah B. Allen, of Columbus,
Ohio, writes to The .Pe-ru-na Drug

EVENT TER SEE MY WIFE"
saba 'tTRUSTY" WHO ESCAPED FROM
THE PENlTENTIARY.
supe-iatgndent Smith Lets the Convicts Pick
Elackberies- How His Kindness
Was Rewarded.

II lest went ter see my wife. L wus
comm back Monday any way
That was the explanation Of Allie
Tourney. colored 'trusty" who last
week escaped from the penitentiary and
was Yesterday brought back by one of
Sheriff Jones deputies.
Now Allie was ''trusty." He had
been in the penitentiary only three
months having been sent UP from Frank
lin county for three years, but Capt.
John II. Smith, not the one Pocahontas
saved. but the superintendent of the penl-
Tertiary, has made a special and lfe-
long study of criminalogy, and he knows
a convict that can be trusted as soon as
he laws eyes ON him. So when Allie
came he at once sized him up as good
material for a trusty; and after three
months probation he was allowed TO go
without a guard.
Some people thought this just a little
rash in the Captain, but he didn't agree
with them. He said the man was al
right. he could be trusted. He belleved
he had made life at the penltentlary
too pleasant for Allie to go away WIN
out a word of goodbye to anybody, and
stay. ,r,
II was hot afternoon last week. Ihe
sun had poured down its vertical rays
all day upon the buildings and the stone
and brick piled about in the penitentlary.
All day long the convicts had tried,
nv means of fans and ice-water, and by
chasing the shade from place to place, to
keep cool. Now a breeze had sprung up
and as the sun was getting low in the
west. Allie took tin bucket upon his
arm and walked out of the enclosure,
remarking to the other convicts lounging
about that he believed he would go pick
few blackberries for supper.
As he picked he was reminded of his
Franklin county home. Had he not done
this many a day before? Yes, and on
that little branch that ran near by his
cabin. Wonder how his wife was max
ing out. did she live there yet? Why
not go see? Certainly Capt. Smith could
not object. He was too good. 1t was
TOO far to 90 back and ask permission.
So he started.
Then he bethought himself that his
convict clothes might embarrass him
somewhat. Somebody might see them
who didn't know of the new order of
things Capt. Smith had inaugurated and
trv to subject him to the humiliation of
an arrest. Why not pub them off! 1t
was warm and he did not need them
any way. So off they came and off he
went-to his wife's house-after hiding
his clothes in DR.. Martins yard.
OF course it was pleasant at home
and Allie decided to stay over Sunday
and tell his friends what fine time he
was having in the penitentiary. But
pesky officer came along, nabbed him
and yesterday brought him back.
1t is pity that these country deputies
haven't yet learned that an inmate of
Capt. John Smiths place of business
ought occasionally to be allowed to go to
see his wife and spend few days with
old friends without being arrested and
brought back like a common criminal.

A NEW DAILY PAPER.
But It's Politics Will be Sort OF
Joseph's Coat Affair.

AS indicated in the News and Obser-
yer of last Sunday, there is a strong eff
fort now being made here to organize
company to buy the Tribune plant and
start another morning paper in Raleigh.
The plan at first was to make it gold
Democratic paper. This, however, was
soon found to be entirely impractical
BILE in North Carolina-almost as much so
as running a Republican daily. So the
plans, as to policy of the paper, were en-
tirely changed, and as outlined, In conf
dence. to those who are solicited to sub
scribe to the capital stock of the paper,
the proposition is now about as follows
To support the Chicago platform, nomin-
,llv. hut make silver and other national
issues subordinate to State issues; to
permit free and open discussion OF the
financial question in its columns, but
to make it a secondary matter in its edI-
torials.
Under these conditions, solicited stock
holders have been told, the National Cold
Democratic committee has agreed to
very materially assist the enterprise. Ii
the promoters of the paper will get 100
men in the State to put 500 each in
the paper, under these conditions, the
yellow Kid" committee promises to con-
tribute a good round sum. No specific
sum has been named.
1t is further understood that the same
forces that were back of the Tribune
Southern Railway, American Tobacco
Company and q few Republican politi-
cians-will again put money in it under
its new management.

WELDON NEWS.
New Electric Light Plant-Machinery
Put in.

Weldon, n. c., July 1.-THE Weldon
corn mill has decided to increase its ca
pacity 1,200 bushels per day. The present
equipment is for 1000 bushels daily, but
running night and day it turns out about
1000. When the new machinery arrives
it will add to its present capacity con-
siderably, making a total of $500 bush
els daily. The mill is doing fine bust
ness and cannot supply the demand.
The Roanoke Navigation and Water
Power Company, of which Major ]. w.
Wilson is president, will put in an cleo
trio light plant here. Machinery has al
ready been ordered for that purpose. The
plant will supply lights for the mills, the
town and the railroads.
1t is estimated that the losses by rea-
son of the hail storm in the Enfield sec
ton will not fall short Of So, 1000.
