TOBACCO REBATES.

H. A. Rucker, collector of internal

by the government on tobacco under
the war tax measure. Claimants will
receive them within the next few

The warrants are being sent out
from the department at Washington in
alphabetical order and those that have
been received are all under the letter

ing about $4,000.
The first installment of warrants, 200

number of warrants for -tais district
amounting to more than 1900, will be
received during the next few days. 1t
will require some time, however, to
have them entered in the books at the
collectors Office, and it will probably
be about thirty or sixty days before
they are received by the claimants.
1t is estimated that the total amount
of claims to be paid in Georgia will
reach 800, 900. Each of the claimants
will receive warrant drawn on the

at New York for the amount of his

years of trial, when the country was
menaced by malice of domestic or for

this we render heartfelt, solemn thanks
to the giver of good, and seek to praise
him not by words only, but by deeds
also.

Marie CoreIli's "Wormwood" was
presented to a fairly large and repre-
sentative audience in the opera house
on Tuesday night. In the dramatiza'
ton the story had been considerably
changed, and mainly for the worse.
The company was not especially good,
but it would have been almost impossi'
bic for any company to present the
play attempted on Tuesday evening
with credit to themselves. The charac-
ter of Mephisto was introduced and
made one of the principal characters OF
the play. The role in which he ap-
peared was rather that of a clown, en-
tirely destroying the effect which his
introduction might have been intended
to produce: and running the play as a
whole.

Our contemporary would be entirely
safe in saying on its own account that
he is a charming man socially. W.
know how it is, however, and news
papers must be very careful IN thell
declarations upon any question these

that our Charlotte contemporary ha:
fallen into the habit of qualifying it:
statements by such phrases as cit i:
said" or st is alleged" or ''som'
persons believe" or ttthere is reason

sort, but in this case our contemporar.
would be safe in making a definite
statement IN regard to Bishop Smith
