SHOWSTEADY INCREASE
PROGRESS REFLECTED BY RE-
 CEIPTS AT PoSToFFICE.
Sale of Stamps During Fiscal Year Just Closed Greater by $5,652,74 Than During the Fiscal
 Year Preceding.

Steady progress on the part of Mont gomery is shown by the receipts at the postoffice.
 The annual statement, prepared by Henry Irwin, Assistant Postmaster, at the close of the fiscal year. June 30. shows an increase of $5.s527A in the sale of stamps for the year 1902 over the pre- vious year.
 Moreover. Mir. Irwin shows a propor- tionate increase in the business of the postoffice for each year during the past two years.
 The statement of receipts from the sale Is as follows:
 Year ending June 30, 1902. .S76. 1Os 53 Year ending June 30, 1s0l.......... 7O, 256. 79
 Increase for the year 1902...... 6.S52.7I

 During the fiscal year ending June 30, 5.901 registered letters were handled by the Montgomery postoffice, which is large ly in excess of the year previous.
 T first became connected with the Montgomery postofice during the Gar field administration in 1ss0," said Assist ant Postmaster Irwin. Since that time the stamp receipts have steadily grown. Each recurring year shows a large per eentage of increase in the receipts. It is observed that the sale of stamps Is larg- est in the first quarter of each year. I think this is due to the fact that mer- chants do more buying and there is more trading in January and February of each year.
 'When I first went with the postofice," |" continued Mir Irwin. i've had four car riers and four clerks. Now we have if teen carriers and one supernumerary and we work fourteen clerks. This gives d fair idea of the increased business"

Without going into any argument
of the matter, it may be stated that,
on the principle hal the strong owe
certain duties and obligations to the
weak, North Carolina could not af-
ford to divide the public school
money in proportion to the taxes
paid by the two aces Besides, the
heaviest tax paid by the negro is an
indirect tax, and it would be mani

him of the means of making of him

of freedom"
All late officers of the King, and
all persons who had Graded imme-
dia4 -ly to Great Britain or Ireland"
were to give up North Carolina cit
izenship or abjure allegiance to Eng
land. Failing to depart they could
be shipped at their own expense to
Fnrope or the West Indies, not to
return on pain of death.
When the Assembly met again In
November of the same year, the ar
dor of the members had in nowise
cooled. They divided the counties
into districts, in each of which a
magistrate was to administer the
oath of allegiance to call free male
persons above 16 years of age" who
had resided for one week or longer
in that district. Names of persons
refusing to take the oath we're to be
noted, and they were to be dealt with
in the manner noted in the last par
agraph regarding officers and traders
refusing to take the oath.
PROPERTY CoNFIsCATIoN FOR TORIES
ABSENT OR IN BRITISH ARMY
A few weeks later the Assembly of
III took another step forward and
declared the forfeiture to the State
of all property belonging to any one
who had left the State or attached
himself to or aided or abetted the
enemies of the United States" I'M
less such person should appear be-
fore the 1913 Assembly and be by it
restored to citizenship. That AS
-sembIy, which met in New Bern, pro-
to put into effect the act of
lyts predecessors and appointed COM
missions to sell the property so con-
fscated. The second chapter of the
1879 legislation names a number of
those whose estates were confscated
in accordance with this act, among
them being the names of VIM. Try
on, Josiah Martin, Sir Nathaniel
Duckinfald, Edmund Tanning,
Thomas MacKnight and many 9TH
ers.
Very naturally these confiscation
laws excited the greed and strength
ened the audacity of the baser sort
Of Wings, and it is not surprising to
find the 1880 Assembly acknowledge
ing that many acts of violence and
barbarity have been lately committed
under p~retence of Selling the prop
crty of disafected persons, these I'M
w~arrantable depredations being car
ricd so far as to deprive some poor
persons of house and kitchen uten-
sis and wearing apparel, and many
persons have un~lawfully seized upon
and carried away negro slaves, and
other valuable effects (for( their own
Use, and slaves X X < conveyed to
distant parts, or publicly sold in vio-
Iotiou of law and Justice" To rem
cdy this, the Assembly again direct
ed that while the property of all per-
sons who had then or should thereaf-

lists, had been plundering South Car
olinians unfortunately. The sher-
if was directed to seize all such prop
erty, returning that belonging to
American sympathizers, and selling
all belonging to Tories. The seventh
section, curiously enough, exempted
from taxation for that year all ref
ugees from Georgia,
This Hillsboro Assembly of 1880
also suspended the-sale of c~onfscated
property, the reason assigned being
that the nearness of the British
army (and the consequent gloomy
outlook for independence caused
the property to sell at much less than
its true value. The sales were re-
vived next year.
AMNESTY AT LAST
Peace came at last, however, and
the Assembly of 1888, recognizing
the fact that "it is the policy of all
wise States, on the termination of
civil wars, to grant an act of pardon
and oblivion for past Offences" di-
rected hal "all manners of ~treasons,
misprision of treasons felony or mis-
demeanor committed or done since
July 4, 1776, by any persons or per-
sons whatsoever be pardoned, releas-
ed, and put in total oblivion"
This act, nevertheless, was subject
to several provisions. Officers in
the Kings army, Tories then out of
the State, and persons who had COM
mitted murder, arson or rape, were
excepted, as were also those especial
ly offensive Tories, Peter Mallette,
David Tanning and Samuel Andrews.
Moreover, the right to hold office
was withheld from those granted am
nesty by this act.

It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were
to be traced to the kidneys, but now
modern science proves that nearly
all diseases have their beginning in
the disorder of these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the
blood-that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are
weak or out of order, you can under
stand how quickly your entire body
is affected, and how every organ
seems to fail to do it's duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly" be-
gin taking the great kidney remedy,

as o o as your kidneys are well they
will help all the other organs to
health. A trial will convince anyone.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are
responsible for many kinds of di-
seases, and if permitted to continue
much suffering with fatal results are
sure to follow. Kidney trouble irri-
tates the nerves, makes you dizzy,
restless, sleepless and irritable. Makes
you pass water often during the day
and obliges you to get up many
times during the night. Unhealthy
kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel,
catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull
aches in the back, joints and muscles
makes your head ache and back ache,
causes indigestion, stomach and liver
trouble, you get a sallow, yellow COM
plexion, makes you feel as though
you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength;
get weak and waste away.
