Besides these there were one or two
smaller bills which we did not get
which brings the whole amount up to
nearly five hundred dollars.
These sums the board allowed but
failed to charge them up to the town
of Arbor Vitae as they should.
In 1896, the county board had before
them the bill of Ann O'Connor for
washing for prisoners. $+46. 10, and dis
allowed it. The present board took up
the same bill and allowed it. If that
bill was an unjust charge against the
county in 1896 it was in 1897. Messrs
Elliott and Loughlin comprised a ma
jority of the board in 1896, which dis
allowed it, and again in 1897. which al
lowed it.
For anything which we know to the
contrary, the bill might have been a
just one, but if it was the claimant
should have appealed from the decis-
ion of the county board to the circuit
court. This was never done, and SO,
with bill of that size, the presump-
ton is, that it was not one the county
was entitled to pay. Certain it is that
by not appealing all legal right was
lest, and in allowing the bill at the
present time, the county board was
simply making the claimant a present
of $446. 10 of the Taxpayers money.
In looking over the records of the
proceedings of the last meeting OF the
ty bolrd, our attention was partic-
ularly attracted by a bill of $4,000 for
twenty-eight tons of coal. We had al
ways supposed that the court house
and jail were both heated by wood, and
inquiry showed this to be the fact.
The only place in which coal was used
about the county buildings as far as
we could learn, being in one stove in
the Sheriff's residence.
Up to December 1st, last, when the
Municipal court was moved into the
O'Connor Block, wood was used in
heating that also. Now, as five or six
ton, seven at the outside, would be all
that could be used in the sheriff's resi-
dence, where did the balance of that
twenty-eight ton go to? Who used it?
The taxpayers would be glad to have
these questions answered and we will
gladly give space to any one who can
furnish the information.

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
ITS IMPORTANCE AND VAL
UE NOT APPRECIATED.

When our Municipal Court was es-
tablished, some three years ago, there
was considerable opposition to it in
different parts of the county. Some OF
our citizens could not be convinced
that it was at all necessary or the le-
gal busin ess of the county required it,
or that it would prove of any benefit to
the county.
Even now, after nearly three years,
there are few who think it unneces-
sary, and many who do not fully appre-
ciate it's Importance or the amount OF
business done in it. This is due, in a
great measure, to the quiet, nnostenta-
tious manner in which it's business is
carried on. 1t is carried on without
fuss or parade, and is rarely men
toned in public and we, ourselves,
confess to feeling of surprise at the
amount of business done there in the
past year, as indicated by some records
in the county clerks Office.
We found that the county board, at
it's last meeting, had allowed the Mu-
nicipal Judge seventy-seven dollars for
stamped envelopes. This would indi-
cate that the Judge had written over
three thousand five hundred letters on
business connected with his Office dur
ing the year, or on an average OF over
ten day. A person must be familiar
with the workings of the office to real
ize the enormous amount of business
which must have been performed in
the Office to require the writing of SO
many letters in connection with it.
Thirty-four dollars and ffty-nine
cents worth of blanks were also used
to transact the business of the court,
and the Judge does all of this work for
the paltry salary of fifty dollars per
month.
Our readers will agree with us that
this is unjust and that the county
board should provide him with a clerk,
which we have no doubt but what they
will do when they understand the true
state of affairs.

PART OF OUR TAXES ILLEGAL.

Under law passed last winter the
total town tax in any one year, exclu-
sive of taxes for school purposes, can
not exceed two per cent of the total
valuation of the taxable property in
the town as fixed by the. county board
of equalization.
At the time the county board was in
annual session this year, it was known
that the town tax for this year would
very much exceed what could lawfully
be raised if the valuation fixed by the
town board of review should be taken
as basis to figure on. At this time
many judgments had been taken
against the town, a large part of them
on orders that were void for the reason
that the appropriations had been over
drawn, and it became necessary that
these judgements should go into the
tax roll this year and be paid before
any of the large Taxpayers should be-
come aware of the state of facts and
test the judgments. 1t also became
necessary to have the valuation fixed
high enough by the county board so
the town taxes would not exceed the
limit fixed by law.
The county board fell in with this
and in their equalization, fixed the to-
tai value of the taxable property in
the town of Eagle River at S6l5,OO0.OO
instead of 1878, 1877 90, as fixed by the
town board of review. At this time,
although it was known that the town
tax would be large, the amount was
not known and the valuation of the
town was made much too low to make
the town tax levy legal.
The whole amount of the town tax,
exclusive of the tax for school purpo-
ses, is $lS,099.22. As the valuation of
the town, as fixed by the county board
of equalization, was S615, 900, the town
authorities could legally only put in

THE COUNTY BOARD.
FEW THINGS WHICH THE
RECORDS SHOW.

In our last issue we made some gen
eral statements in regard to the man.
ner in which the "Ring" had run the
affairs of the county during the past
year, and promised to give some de-
tails later on, so will proceed to do so
this week.
The present county board paid $3.50
81 for the support of the paupers in the
town of Minocqua and 5000 for the
same purpose in the town of Arbor vi
tae, and not one cent in the town of
Eagle River. Persons not conversant
with the facts would naturally suppose
that this town was free from paupers
hut our readers know better. They
know that she has her share but looks
after them herself while the county
foots the bills in the other towns. Is
this right?
BY the provisions of the law govern
ing the appointing of Il commission to
eoualize the assessment of the county,
the expenses of the commission should
be audited by the county board and
then charged back to the town or
towns whose assessment was found to
be too low. AS it Is we'll known, the
commissioners made and filed finding
to the effect that Arbor Vitae should
be charged with S4l15.S9 of the county
and state tax. in excess of what she
had already paid. Under the law this
would carry with it the costs of the

PROPERTY LOSS.

Those who take. the position that
the war between Spain and Cuba is OF
no concern to the United States
reckon from a false premise, as is
shown by the recent memorial pre-
scented to Congress by committee
of merchants, bankers, manufacture
ers and others engaged in trade with
Cuba. This committee deals only
with the business phase of the sub
ject and presents these conclusions
"The destructive war in Cuba has
continued Tor three entire years, with
an average loss of import and export
trade between Cuba and this country
of 500, 100000 per year, or total
export trade since the beginning Of
the war. To this may fairly be
added heavy sums irretrievably lost
by the destruction of American prop
critics, or properties supported by
American capital in the island itself
such as sugar factories, railways
tobacco plantations, mines, and
other Industrial enterprises; the loss
of the United States in trade and
capital by reason of this war being
probably far greater and more
serious than that of all the other
parties concerned, not excepting
Spain herself"
This committee, after presenting
the above statement, which it claims
is based upon actual facts as demon
strated by experience, asks oul
| Government to put a stop to the
war, that it "aid in bringing about
actual peace
The committee might have added
to the immense loss the large sun
already spent by this Government tt
prevent filibustering.
Nothing short of Cuban independ-
ence will bring about the "actua
peace" so much desired. Autonom.
will not accomplish it. Neither will
any other makeshift, Cuba want
independence and will be satisfied
with nothing less. Recognition O
belligerency by this country will
materially aid in bringing abou
"actual peace"

Young Ladies to Represent Camps as
Sponsors and Maids of Honor.
From the Atlanta Journal.
In every Southern State new camps
of Confederate Veterans are organic
ing and the old camps are being
strengthened The impression is
gaining ground everywhere that the
approaching Confederate reunion in
Atlanta will be the most notable
affair of its kind in this generation.
Probably about 1900 camps will
send delegations here. Each camp
will send young ladies representing
them as sponsors and maids of
honor. These tair visitors will, of
course, be accompanied by their
chaperons, and many of them will be
followed by their sweethearts. The
reunion will, therefore, be veritabIe
congress of Southern beauties.
Thousands of visitors who are not
Veterans will be attracted here. The
| railroads will give low rates and
hosts of Georgians and their descend
! ants in the West and Southwest will
| embrace the opportunity to come to
| Atlanta and meet the relatives and
| friends from whom they have been
| separated for many years.
I5 is safe to say that our hotels,
boarding houses and residences vii
be packed to overlooking, aud the
| suburban towns will also be filled.

THE CAROLINAS.

Not long ago Mr.. Jas. W. Wilson,
publisher of Farm, Field and Fire
side'', Chicago, made a trip to North
Carolina in company with c. II.
Sherwood and Geo. S. Cummings of
st. Joseph, Mich, W. A. Hill of
Wheaton, ILL.,, and J. A. Bence of
Wood River, Neb.
A recent number of that periodical
FEB. 5. 1899 contains a long arti-
Gle relative to their impressions.
Messrs. Cummings and Hill represent
over a hundred families who seek
homes in the South, and they have
come to the conclusion that the
Carolinas offer better opportunities
than any other section of the South,
They say that the climate is IN
vigorating, that quick access to
large markets is an important con-
sideration. and that this fact per-
mits a greater diversity of crops as
well as better prices.
At Chadbourn, Columbus county,
is a co operative colony whose man
ager reports net returns of $3.50 per
acre for berries. Mr.. Coultas, son OF
an Illinois farmer, was under an ex
pense of 1925 per acre for clearing.
planting and cultivating, and he got
a net profit of $500 an acre. Two
years ago he went in debt and now
he has 100 acres OF land, 80 of which
are cleared.
1t is worthy of note that the larg
est crop of corn ever produced in the
world on a single acre was grown
within forty miles of Chadbourne, N
c., the yield being 254 bushels.
Thus is Eastern North Caroline
being advertised throughout the
United States. Now, what of West
ern North Carolina?
Would it not be worth while fol
| Winston people to communicate with
some of the men whose names are
mentioned in this article? Might ii
not produce good results if tract o
good land we're offered to them FOL
| colony purposes?
The same means which are produc
| ing results in the Eastern part of thu
State ought to be used in advertis-
ing and developing the section O
which Winston Salem is the center.

TURNED PROPHET.

A Washington correspondent OF a
Philadelphia paper turns prophet
and makes wonderful revelations in
reference to the purposes of the silver
men. He announces with the air OF
one gifted with foresight, or as one
to whom all plans had been revealed
that William Jennings Bryan will be
laid upon the shelf SO far AS the
presidential nomination is concerned
Not right away, but that he will be
permitted to take part in the Con-
gressional campaign this year as a
possible presidential candidate, I'd
will be knocked out when the nomi-
nation is made.
This seer of coming events places
prominently in the arena as prospec.
tive candidates Teller, Dubois and
Bland, and says there is a determine
ton to nominate Teller, whom he
eulogizes in strong language.
Much of the talk of this self-consti-
tuted prophet gives evidence that
"the thought is father to the wish. =
The goidbugs do not wish to see
Bryan nominated and may be ex-
pected to throw all the cold water
possible upon his prospects. He
came very near throwing their fat in
the fire in 1896, when six months
prior to the election it appeared that
no Democratic candidate stood q
reasonable chance of election. The
goldbugs fear this tribune of the
people and If they could have theil
way about it certainly the predic
tions of the prophet aforesaid woule
be verified.
Bryan is the strongest man il
| America today and we believe he vii

dency in 1900, but will be elected

Mayor Ramsdell is again mayor of

cratic and Citizens Reform party
He was again nominated by accla~
nation by the Democrats to succeed
himself as mayor of the busy modern
city, and was again elected 10y rous-
ing majority last month.
Mayor Rsmsdell's present high
position is the legitimate reward of
his ability and his fearlessness in de-
Tending his opinions. He has never
hesitated to declare his convictions
In public, nor mas he been slow to
espouse the cause of shoemakers and
other wage earnels. In 1894 he was
candidate IF the Peoples party for
, Congress. A hard worker. a con-
scientious official, Mayor Ramsdell
| has more than once been pushed to
the limit of his strength. AS such
| times of extreme nervous tension and
| overwork, he has saved himself from
breaking bown by taking Paine's
celery compound.

taken by any one who reads his let

A STRIKE At OUR MILLS

VIM C. Lowering. of Massachu-
sets. has prepared a joint resolution
in Congress TO amend the Constitu
ton of the United States SO as to
authorize Congress to regulate the
hours of labor in the different States.
OF course the object of this pro-
posed amendment is plain. The New
England mills are not prospecting as
much as they did before they were
confronted by Southern competition.
Wages have been reduced. Strikes
have resulted, and mill owners in
that section are in desperate straits.
Something must be done-hence the
resolution
New England people claim that
Southern mills run from II to IA
hours per day, while the operatives
of the New England mills only work
8 to 10 hours. It may be true that
operatives in Southern mills work
longer, but as rule they are better
paid, healthier and in every respect
their condition is better than the
New England operatives. The truth
is we have the advantage and are
going to hold it, notwithstanding
Mr.. Coverings proposed legislation.
