TIE EXTENSION OFFICIAL VOTE.
The Canvassers Meet and Soy That Raleigh
Can't Extend its Limits.

The City CaDvassing Board met yester
day at noon to officially announce that
extension in Raleigh had been defeated.
The Board organized by electing Mr.. w.
w. Parrish chairman and Mr.. NJ. H.
Haynes secretary.
The Board was composed of one of the
judges of election from each precinct, and
beginning at the first division of the first
ward were as follows: Richard Koonee
G. A. Pegram, NJ. r. Haynes, w. w.
Parrish, S. N. Lesson, George F. Ball, ID.
s. Belts and w d. Smith.
The official count showed that 1871
votes were qualified, the eleven votes
erased in the second division of the second
ward being deducted from the total of
1852. The vote for city extension was
554, against 535, but a majority of the
qualified vote had not been carried.
These returns showed that while there
was majority of 10 votes for city ex-
tension in the votes cast that it had lost

reach to the 971 necessary to carry the
election for extension. There was no at
tempt made to prosecute any of the chal-
lenges made and the result was officially

GOOD ADVICE.

The most miserable things in the
world are those suffering from Dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint. More than
seventy-fve per cent. of the people in
the United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effects: such as
Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual
Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart,
Heart burn, Waterbrash, Gnawing and
Burning Pains at the Pit of the Stomach,
yellow Skin, Coated Tongue and Disa-
greeable Taste in the Mouth, Coming up
of Food after Eating, Low Spirits. etc.
Go to your Druggist and get bottle of
August Flower for Is or IS cents. Two
doses will relieve you. Try it.

IF the solvent credits. personal property
and mortgages are given in for taxation
at valuation in keeping with the assess
ment, Raleigh township will show an as
sessment of s1,SOO,o0o this year"
That is what one of the best men in
Raleigh said last night He says. how
ever, that an examination of The property
given in for taxation shows falling off
IN solvent credits, mortgages, and that
up to this time other personal property is
not given In at its true value, and he
added
Under the new Machinery Act it is
the plain duty of the grand jury to bring
to list his poll or property and such pro-
ceedings will evidently be resorted to at
the July term of Wake Superior cour,.
Too much valuable property in Raleigh
townships goes on the unlisted list and is
tax free because it cannot be charged
to the sheriff, nor can it DE collected by
force
.sThe chairman of the County Commits
sioners has consented to extend the time
for a few days in order to have every
person and all property regularly listed,
and the list-takers can be found for ten
hours in the day at the court house
where they have been for the past thirty
days.
1t should be remembered that persons
holding mortgages cannot force collection
unless they give them in for taxation. A
word to the wise ought to be sufficient.

ministers.
There was also civil suit for damages
brought by the father of the girl, which
resulted in a verdict of $500 against Me-

cradle means, about 81 or SIS years of age.
The girl was one of several children en-
ployed by Mehaffey to pick cotton on his
farm.

Evidence insufficient,
(Wilson Times. ]

Solicitor Daniels has summoned from
different parts of the country and ex
amined in accordance with rumors and at
the sanction of Judge Shaw some fifteen
witnesses to find if possible some ground
for the idea that the jurors in the Jones
case was tempered with. So far he has
been unable to secure evidence sufficient
to indict any one. We felt extremely
sorry for the father and wife of one of
the jurors this morning. The wife tainted
at her home when she heard of the pro-
ceedngs, and his father hurried his son
away from town.
