DID YOU BORROW THIS PAPER!

The Charlotte News has recently had
some experience much like most news
paper men have. 1t speaks OF 1t in the
following manner:
"The newspaper borrower ls the bane
of North Carolina journalism. He not
only reads the newspaper without pay
ing for it, but worries the life out OF
his neighbor who does subscribe for
papers. 1t the borrower were by some
means wiped out the subscription list
of many journals would be doubled and
papers that are now struggling along,
merely existing would be prosperous.
These reflections were suggested by the
visit to the News office Of the checklist
borrower that has yet appeared in this
land of the free,' which some people
think includes free lunch and free
newspapers. The borrower walked in
and said to the clerk, please give me a
copy of the News Are you sub
scriber?' was asked, the clerk thinking
he had missed his paper. ooh, 10 , he
replied, Il have the reading of my
neighbor's paper and failed to get it
from him to-day and thought l would
call by the Office and get a copy
What is to be done with a specimen

NORTH CAROLINA RESOURCES

Manufacturers Record.
One of the best pieces of work now
under way for the future development
of Southern State is under the aus
pices OF the North Carolina Geological
Survey. Within the last few months
the survey has published several bulle-
tins, notably among which are three
treating OF gold mining, timber trees
and forestry, and clay deposits and clay
industry, respectively, in North Carroll
ma. The first paper is by Mr.. H. B. c..
Mite and Mr.. II. A. J. Wilkens, in
which no attempt has been made to de-
scribe all the mines Or even to present
| detailed descriptions of all the more
important mining regions found in
| North Carolina and adjacent States,
| but such mining and metallurgical
methods practiced in North Carolina
and other States are described as it is
believed will be found useful in the
study OF the best methods for the de-
velopment of the North Carolina gold
fields. The point is made that one OF
the existing needs of the North Caro-
lima gold field is the establishment at
central points in this region Of prac-
teal plants that will successfully treat
the Iow-grade sulphurate ores; plants
that will do custom work at reasonable
prices and where individual miners
can ship their ore and pay for same ac-
cording to its value, as is the case in
the great mining regions Of the West
The work on clay deposits and the clay
industry is preliminary report by Mr.
Heinrich Ries. The investigation was
undertaken to determine the extent
qualities ard applicability of the clays
occurring within the State, and whether
those deposits now being utilized could
be used for making other Or better
products than those that are now being
manufactured from them. The fores
try bulletin IS by Clifford Pinchot and
". ". Ashe. This is intended to pre-
sent succinct statement Of certain
salient characteristics of the more i'm
portant trees OF North Carolina, thar
which the forest flora OF no other State
is more varied To this is added ;
short account OF the various forest re
gions OF the State. An attractive ane
valuable feature Of these bulletins il
the halt-tone engiavings Of maps O
machinery and of specimen woods
These are very profuse and are grea
addition to the text. The publication
are invaluable to persons ccntemplat
ing investment in the Industries repre-
scented in North Carolina and should
be the means for attracting productive
capital! in the Old North State.

NOT SUBJECT To TAXES.
Teachers Certificates and Contracts Do
Not Need to be Faxed.

CHARLESTON, August 18th. 1885,
In answer to my question, whether,
under the Revenue Act of June 18th,
1898, teachers certificates must have
an Internal Revenue stamp affixed,
Hon A. b. White, Collector of In
ternal Revenue. has forwarded the fol-
lowing opinion, given by the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue:
GAS a part OF the regulations adopted
by the State in connection with its
public schools, these certificates are
held to be for governmental purposes
rather than for private use; and there
fore not subject to a stamp tax under
the Revenue Act of June 18th, 1898. "
| would add that inasmuch as teach
ers' contracts dre also "a part of the
regulations adopted by the State in
connection with its public Schools, Z
it is evident that they are not subject
to stamp tax.

THE placing of a contract for the
coal supply Of the Eastern Minneso-
ia railway company with West Vir-
ginia operators Saturday is viewed
with alarm by many of the opera
tors of the Pittsburg district, says
the Pittsburg News. The Eastern
Minnesota company has been a con-
slant purchaser and larger user of
Pittsburg coal, and the loss of its
trade is regarded as severe blow.
The division of the coal supply of the
Great Northern railroad and the
Eastern Minnesota from Pittsburg
means practically the closing of the
markets of the northwest to Pitts
burg operators. The railroad peo-
pie claim that the West Virginia
coal as steam producer is not ex-
celled BY any produced in the world
and it's price, with the ability of the
operators who are not harassed with
local strikes to ship regularly counts
largely in its favor.
