A Run to Harnett and Wake.

The editor OF The COMMONWEALTH
made little run to Harnett and Wake
last week. 1t was pleasant to visit the
old home tree of childhood DAYS and
sit again by the old hearthstone as OF
long ago but there was sadness min
gled with it which only those who have
had like experience can understand and
appreciate.
The farmers of Harnett and Wake
are not so depressed, we believe, as they
are in this community. There are
more home supplies raised there than
here, in proportion to the acreage cult
waited by each one. At almost every
small farm may be seen bale or two
OF cotton sheltered to be held in the
hope of getting better price.
The hanging of Ed. Purvis in Har-
nett last week was an event OF interest
to the people throughout the county,
as 1t was the first hanging In the histo-
ry of the county.
Stopping a day at Wake Forest, we
found that institution still fourishing.
There are not quite SO many students
this year as last, but the WORK being
done is satisfactory and the health OF
the students Is good.
1t was gratifying to us to hear kind
words from all sides for THE COMMON
WEALTH, and the good Democrats OF
the up-country say they will stand to
us In the fight against the present mis-
cradle administration In State and
county affairs.

Of the Gar and of the Emperor of
Austria, the two powers most direct

settlement Great Britain is ignored
as having no interest IN the matter,
and the British press are up in arms
at the idea Of being left out OF the

THE PARIS CASUALTY.


Tuesday the greatest calamity
of its kind yet recorded occurred
in Paris, France, where a tempo
rary building of light timber in
which was being held a Grand Ba-
zaar de Charitie for the annual
charity fair of which nearly all
the prominent society women of
Paris were patronesses, was burnt
to the ground with over one hum
dred victims. The deluge of flames
supposed TO be set for the purpose
of robbery descended with mys-
terious and powerful swiftness
and sped into death some of the
wealthiest people in France and
fair flowers of European society.
Paris had probably not seen in re-
cent years gathering so brilliant
50 distinguished In It's social re-
presentation or so worthy of the
noble impulses which called it to-
gether in a common effort fol
charity, regardless Of creed, race
political rivalries and family in
terests. The fierce disaster whicl
converted that scene of gayet.
and splendor into one of terro
and death, plunging all Franc
into sorrow and dlspatching tn
messenger of loss and grief int
dozens of the most distinguishe,
households of Europe, sends
thrill of horror and awakens a
immeasurable sympathy through
out the world.

THA BLIND SEE RLLND.

Il
1t is indeed unfortunate, and
very unfortunate Mt that, that at
SO late period of this Nineteenth
century civilization and spirit of
a progressive age, that we find in
our community, after an unreaiit-
ting period of lethargic proceed
Ilngs which have ieopardized the
places chances, that spirit of re-
PROGRESSION feeding upon the
minds of the young generation.
The communication "Bond Issue" ;"
to be found in another part of this
paper, although pleasantly writ
ten md well rounded in construc-
ton, is just as vile, although ar
gument if such term in the sense
can be based is'entirely lost sight
of, as anything yet advanced in
opposing to the magnificent pro.
position for the benefit ofour city
The opposer, who writes under
an assumed cognomen, is, compa-
rately speaking, a young nan, and
too much stress cannot be laid on
this fact in particular-the young
er generation following in the
struts of their sires who lived a
dull life in a monotonous age. The
old must eventually step aside to
give to those beginning in life the
continuance Of the reign Of every
| day affairs, and it is in the alb
sence of infusing any new meth
ods or "push" that the new will
continue in the wake of the old.
Fully in keeping with the nature
of those who oppose the bond is
sue, our young friend either sees
doubly the disadvantages, (if any
exist), or like blind secs blind.
Why we offer no material ar
gumenthere in response is simply,
with all due regard to the intelli

reason that the communication is

Petitions VIII Amount to Nothing.



Special Correspondence Times-D Democrat:
Bay st. Louis, Miss, May 5.
The city council has had busy
session this month. The meeting
was begun on May 2, and was con-
tinued to last evening, when the
board concluded its labors.
The following important business
was transacted; Two petitions were
presented, both to the following ef-
feet:
"We, the undersigned adult tax
payers in the corporate limits OF the
city of Bay St. Louis, enter this, our
protest, against the board OF mayor
and aldermen of the said city issuing
bonds for any anticipated improve
ments to the city, as IL is now heavi-
lY in debt, with an increasing in
debtedness accumulatIng monthly.
The bond issue, as contemplated,
would prove disastrous to the tax
payers, hence we protest"
These petitions, signed by about
sixty citizens Of both sexes, among
whom only about twelve are of any
prominence, reached the council
protesting against the issuance Of
$40, 900 of bonds for the proposed
improvements Of NaterworEs, elec
trio light plant and public market
house. These petitions were receiv-
ed and fled until such time they be-
come operative against said issuance.
The protest is entered but cuts q
very small figure, as is explained by
section 30l6 Of the Annotated Code
Of 1892, which says:
Before providing for the issuance
OF any bonds, the board shall pubieh
notice Of the proposal TO issue the
same IN newspaper. published In The
municipality or having genera
circulation therein, il none be there
published, for three weeks next pre-.
ceding, and IL within that time 2(
per centum of the adult taxpayer;
shall petition against the issuance
the bonds shall not be issued, unless
authorized by majority Of electors
voting in an election, to be ordered
for that purpose.
Thus it is plain that, even shoulc
there be 20 per cent. signing the pc
titions, the matter will be decided BY
an election, and it is the prediction
Of many that the electors for bond
will be IL vast majority.

The house tested the matter of
location of the new capitol this
morning and decided by vote of
101 to "a in favor of the present
site. The senate has never ex-
pressed a choice of location re-
ported favorably on the peniten-
tiary site. This puts the two
houses at cross purposes, but it
is confidentially predicted and, in
deed, members of the senate have
said that they would not endanger
the bill to erect new capitol by
opposing any location the house
may select,-Clarion-Ledger, 4th.
Since the foregoing has been
set in type, the senate has agreed
on the penitentiary site.

reason, see the bright side over

The Echo,
Mobiles Economy.

Editor Rapler, OF the Mobile Re
glsler says that Mobile Is one Of the
most economically governed cities in
the country. With the old city linn
its of Mobile there is population OF
al 900 souls and the annual cost Of
running the city is only S13S,000:
This includes paid fir department
and water supply by gravitation.
The city keeps only two engines but
it Is able TO put twelve streams on a
fire at once, and the engines are
never used unless the fire js~S, 600
feet away from the pL@~s
The interest opj .,ie public debt
however, isssF .ac,uded in the cost
OF cllxSAko Tnment. a separate tax
IS .Rbn and collected separately.
(olfs amounts to about 100000 an
nualIy. The citY's bonded debt is
1000, 900. Richmond has less than
two and half times the population
Of Mobile, while its debt is nearly
four times as great as that cily's.
However, we have some very valua-
BILE and readily salabIe assessments.
Governor McLaurin's feasous for
yetoing the reformitory school bill
are practical and full OF common
sense. According TO his statement
there are only thirty four persons in
the penitentiary who would be sent
TO this school and these are all ne
groes who were committed for mur-
der, grand larceny, burglary and
rape or attempt TO rape. The gov
ernor draws the conclusion that if
this school were established it would
increase rather than diminish crime
and would multiply the member of
| llynchIngs. As soon as negro real
'NNh IIC iuSb JihJ WucucNtI uc cOIu-
mitted crime he would only be aP-
plying for scholarship in the states
reformitorJ school all the .horror OF
the crime would meet like a SNOWFALL
in hades. But if he knows that he
is to be put at hard labor during the
term for which he was sentenced IL
will have some good effect on him as
well as others.
The negro as general rule has
too mnch of the states paternal care
anyway. Schools provided for him
. the same as the whites and he does
not even pay tenth into the state
treasury. not even his poll tax. Ther
: TO uphold him in his criminal career
by providing for him reformatory
! school at the expense Of the white
taxpayers is placing on the whit,
people little more than. they arr
willing 10 bear.
The veto Of the bill was a wis.,
conclusion Of the governor aud it /
IS hoped the bill will "drop dead in i.
n tracks" and stay dead. .--Hattles
