CAN COME TO WILMINGTON.
Water Oh the Bar of Sufficient Depth It
Float the Raleigh.

Touching the statement that there is
not sufficient depth of water at Will
nlington for the cruiser Raleigh to come
there with safety. the Wilmington Dis
patch says:
..There is sufficient depth of water On
our bar to float much larger cruiser
than the Raleigh for example the Am
phitrite) even at low water, and any
vessel that can come over the bar can
come to this city without danger or
difficulty. We would be glad if Mr..
Daniels would correct that statement.
it places Wilmington in a false light and
is an injustice"
The correction is made with pleasure,
and the News and Observer rejoices to
know that Wilmington has so excellent
a harbor.
And just here it may be well to add
that this paper expressed no oln.n-
ion as to where the Raleigh ought to
be sent-Southport, Norfolk or Whining
ton. 1t simply printed what the
people of this city, for which the cruiser
was named, were saying and thinking
about it.

MUST.BE NAMED AT ONCE
MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTAN nee
IN MANY PLACES.
FAILURE MAY INVALl0ATE THE ELECTION
A Special Law Passed by the Legislature for
Municipal Elections. The Registration
Books Must be Kept Open for
Ten DAYS,

Many towns and villages in the State
shall be held under the law providing
for election of members of the General
Assembly, and the County Commission
ers are directed to appoint the registrars
and poll holdCrs for such town elections
At present there is no law in force
providing for the election of members
of the Geenral Assembly. The Fusion
election law is repealed, and the new
Democratic law does not go into effect
until next year.
10 meet this condition the last Leg
islature enacted an election law for
towns and cities 1t is provided in this
law that in all such cases as those men
toned above. one registrar and two
judges of election for each precinct
where there are precincts. or for the
whole town where it is not divided into
precincts, shall be appointed by the gov
erning body of the city or town-that
is by the board of aldermen or by the
board of town commissioners.
This appointment must be made mot
later than the first Monday III the
month in which the election is held"
This will generally be the first Monday
in April, as nearly all town elections
are held the first Monday in May
The registration books must b. kept
open ten days and must be closed on
the second Saturday. before the election
1t will be seen from this that it will
be necessary for the commissioners and
boards of aldermen of the several towns
of the State to appoint their election
officers NOT later than next Monday
night, or there may be some question as
to the validity of the elections.
Even where there is particular meth
Cd for holding an election prescribed in
the charter of any town or city, the new
municipal election law authorizes the
governing body to adopt this system.

HARD On THE TAN COLLECTOR.

The last Legislature left the tax col

awkward position.
Section of the act repsaling the road
law of the counties of Greene, Wilson
and Wayne, reads as follows:
That tn, tax collector, for the pur-
pose of working the public roads of the
county OF Greene for the year 1898, UNI
der the provisions of said act, shall be
refunded to the taxpayers of said coun-
ty. and all taxes levied under said acl
and not collected at the passage of this
act shall not thereafter be collected nor
ror colectable.
OF course the law should read: THAT
the taxes collected shall be
refunded to the taxpayers.
But it doesn't. And the act is certi-
fed as examined and found correct by
Senator Speight for the Committee ON
Enrolled Bills.
