After Nov, 23rd

Sheriff Page is hot on the trail Of de-
linquent tax payers.
. Yesterday the sheriff sent out this no.
tice:
Under the law the State and county
taxes are due and payable the first day
of September, and if they are not paid
by the first day of November the law
makes it the duty of the sheriff to col
lect by distress. l have tried to be as
lenient as possible with the taxpayers
of Wake county and have notified them
through the papers that the taxes must
be paid not later than November /, 1901.
I now give fair notice TO all that 1 will
after November 23rd, 1901, commence to
collect all taxes remaining unpaid at
that time by distress, and have so noti-
fed all my deputies; therefore, if you
wish to avoid paying costs and having
your property levied upon, you will
come forward at once and pay your
taxes"

Cattle Ranchir 6 Today.

Crank NJ Todd in Anslee's.)
mo phase Of agricultural life anywhere
except perhaps in Australia, has ever
possessed the romantic and adventurous
charm of American cattle ranching.
When out beyond the Platte, and down to-
ward the Rio Grande, and westward into
New Mexico and Arizona, the great plains
were open and the grass of Uncle Sam
as free as air, men with ginger in them
could lay the foundations of fortunes
with no other capital than pony, cow
saddle, rope and branding iron. They.
required no land, and seldom cared for
more than a few acres for the ranch
house, and place to keep the chuck
wagon and other inanimate parts of the
outfit If they chose they could range
an area as wide as France. The AG1eri-
cans took the business from the Mexicans
and extended it northward to Wyoming.
There was nothing to prevent. In that
day the cowboy told the visiting Eng
lishman:
This is Gods country, and there amt
no fences
Those times are going, or have already
gone. Barbed wire and the settler have
changed it all. The few acres that suf-
feed for the bankhouse and saddle-room
are not enough where free grazing is
passing away. The cattle king must own
his grazing ground, and the cowboy has
been tanned into a member of the fences
he once despised. The packing industry
has gone out toward the source of sup
ply, to Omaha and Kansas City and other
far Western towns. Railroads have done
away with the long drives to shipping
points, fences have spoiled the roundup,
and branding pens are helping on the
obSoleScence of the lariat. In large sec
tions. of the cattle country every small
town has it's stockyard and spur track.
''This doesn't mean that the cattle bust
ness is on the wane. Far from it. It's
outlook now is brighter than it has been
for ten years. Prices are better at home,
and the demand abroad is strong. Euro
pean shipments of cattle ON the hoof in
creased uniformly down to 1897, and
though they have diminished slightly
since then, the financial returns have
been relatively better. In the last five
years the average value of meat pro-
ducts exported, principally to Great Bril-
tain and Germany, has been over SAL
100000. and of live animals over $4,000
coo. But the range cattle business no
longer offers opportunities for the accu-
mutation of such colossal fortunes as it
once did, nor, where so much more money
capital is required than formerly, does it
offer opportunity to so many men with
only their hands and brains to aid them"

GREAT INCREASE SHOWN.
Development of Business Here Shown by Post
Office Receipts.

In 1894 the gross receipts in the post
office at Raleigh amounted to $25,616.41
net revenue being $12. 1874. In 1900 the
gross receirts were $45,149.41, the net
revenue $2S,9191S. These figures without
a word of comment show the great in
crease in business in Raleigh in five
years, the net receipts now, exceeding
the gross receipts of FIVE years ago.
The latter figures include the receipts
for the year ending June 80, 1901, and the
cost of conducting the office is shown by
the fact that in 1894 it took 50 per cent
OF the receipts while last year with
greatly increased business the cost was
36 per cent of the receipts.

The A. and M. eleven is in the best kind
of condition, though two of the cleverest
men are laid off with injuries. The boys
have been practicing with zeal all the
week and physically are all right save
for a little soreness as the result Of
hard training.
The initial foot ball event of the sea-
son will no doubt bring out large at

female institutions in Raleigh will be
cut in large numbers, wearing the colors
of their favorites. St. Mary's, Peace

represented. Equally as conspicuous
and noisier will be the collegians from
Raleigh and neighboring colleges.
The farmers have defeated Guilford by
the score of Il to and Oak Ridge 10 to 0.
The last game was with the University.
While the A. and NJ. boys were defeated
they say the game did not afford fair
test of the relative strength of the
teams The University comes here with
q record of consecutive victories, and
those who have seen the team play say
it is a strong one. This year the Varsity
has had a Yale coach and has substituted
the methods of that old institution for
those of Princeton. There is a good deal
of interest in the character of the game

Judge Miller, and when the advisability Of
using the terms streets, avenues, alleys,

Some doubt has been thrown on this optn-

that the question Is of considerable I'm
