"Yes?" said the young matron, turning

WAKE COUNTY FINANCE.

Go from home to learn the news. The
Winston Republican tells its readers
that the present board of commissioners
of Wake county have saved the tax
payers $4,000 in the last year. The
aforesaid taxpayers would be glad, if
this statement is true, to tell, 1. why it is
that the orders of Wake county cannot
be cashed; 2. The county treasurer says
there is not dollar in the treasury for
county expenses; 3. The county treasurer
has paid out $1,000 and more of the
sacred school fund for county expenses:
4. the county is trying to borrow money
to pay its daily bills.
The Wake county taxpayers would
also like to ask the Forsyth editor what
has become of the money heretofore paid
by the sheriff of Wake on the unlisted
property and property listed by the
sheriff. Last year it amounted to
something like $500. In the recent
statement taken from the records of the
board of the settlement with Sheriff
Jones there is no amount given from this
source.
When the Republican has answered
these easy questions, we will ask him
some others.

LIVE TOPICS BRIGHTLY TREATED.


We have printed more pages of an
edition than to-day's. issue, but it IS
doubtful if the readers of this paper
have received copy that was so full
of live topics brightly treated as the
one that goes to them this morning.
In addition to the full Associated
Press dispatches, which for reliability,
fullness, promptness and purity of Eng
fish have won worldwide commentator,
the selections and the news columns
have rare interest for all classes of
readers.
Since the beginning of the war every
poet, novelist, editor, writer and artist
has been engaged in producing the best
of which he was capable in his treat
ment of some phase of the war. We
have followed them in the magazines, in
the illustrated papers, in the daily press.
The short story by "Bab'' in to-day's
supplement is easily the sweetest and
saddest note that has thrilled the hearts
of the American people since the daily
tale Of the breaking of some good wo-
mans heart has become as familiar TO
us as the sound of the marching sol
diers.
Our Georgia philosopher has been a
consistent anti-war man, not believing
that it was the business of this country
to interfere between the Spaniards and
the Cubans. After delightful view
of his ideal home life, Bill Arp makes
the mistake of impugning the mo-
tiyes which prompted the enlistment OF
the volunteers The mobilization Of the
North Carolina troops in Raleigh has Civ
en- MS an opportunity to observe the char
acter of the men who have enlisted from
this State. 1t is not for the pittance OF
pay they get but from the highest mo-
tiyes Of patriotism.
The contest for brigadier from North
Carolina seems to have degenerated into
political squabble, and unless Calvin
ID. Cowles, a West Pointer, recently APP
pointed Lieutenant Colonel of the First
North Carolina regiment, is named. the
fellow who can get the most Republican
votes will be chosen to this high and
important position for which no man,
however brave or able, is fit unless he
has had long and expert military training.
Mr. Daniel X. Goodloe contributes a
chapter from the history of the Civil
War that bears upon the present stu
alton. 1t is not only wise, but concludes
with one Of the best of Tom Corwin's
witty retorts that is well worth preserv-
ing.
We are going to annex Hawaii by res
olution unless all signs fail. This is an
unheard of, even if a constitutional
method, of acquiring new territory. See
ing that the orderly treaty method, re
auiring two-thirds vote Of the Senate
could not be secured for annexation, this
more doubtful method is adopted.
LET him take who has the power
And let him keep who can"
Annexation of Hawaii seems to be SC
certain that we do not care to go into
any lengthy argument as TO the policy
There are weighty reasons why We
should allow no other country to contro
it, and in many minds these reason:
imply that we should annex the islands
Before the final act which we thinl

The advocates of war will claim that
their policy is the cause of the new cot

mills would increase ten-fold. We so
