The News Of Goldsboro.

Especial to News and Observer
Goldsboro, N c.. July 29.-Mr. w. F.
Farmer. of Danville, Va, has arrived in
the city to take charge OF the Banner
Warehouse for term of years. He has
had about twenty-five years experience II
the tobacco business and will be val
liable addition to this market.
While CHANGING over the tax listing
figures in the office of the register of
deeds the reporter discovered the fact
that forty-four people in Wayne county
gave in taxes on their incomes Only
three of these are outside the city OF
Goldsboro and they were IN Nahunta
township. The amounts range all the way
from 5000 to $3,711. The three largest on
the list are C. B. Aycock $4,000, F. K.
Borden $4,000, and w. t. Dortch $3,71,
from which it can be seen that Mr.. Dortch
leads the list by over 500. In listing in.
come tax the lister is allowed $1,000 eX-
emption and office expenses on all incomes
not otherwise taxed. The large rumbel
who gave in taxes on their incomes in
Goldsboro. a city of 5000 inhabitants, is
an indication of the thrift, prosperity and

FIGHTING THE wHIsKEY POWER.
The Anti-saloon League OF Beaufort and its
Energeuc Work

Especial to News and Observer
Beaufort, n. c.. July 29.-An antl-sa-
loon league has been organized here.
It is composed of about fifty
members of the very salt" OF our city
and we are pushing the good work daily.
Last week the league was addressed by DR..
r ID. Swindell on the evils OF the sa-
loon. This week that fearless advocate Cd
prohibition. Hon. j. c. Scarborough
spoke. He will address the league and
citizens on the subject next week.
Beaufort is dry town and has been Tor
a few years, but there are violations OF
the law. 1t is a part OF the business OF
the league to prosecute these unlawful
acts.
Our committee on claw and order" sub
mitted the following report at our meet
ing last night which was unanimously
and enthusiastically adopted:
Your committee have been trying to IN
vestigate the violation OF law IN Beau
fort by selling liquor We believe that
the law is defied and bad men are sell
ing liquor to debauch our people. and
further that these criminals are aided by
those who buy liquor and who are IN
league with the seller. These "lewd tel
lows of the baser Sort" who fear not
God Tor regard man shall be made to
feel the heavy hand of the law and III
due time we promise the praying people
of Beaufort and the suffering wives and
mothers that the vioators of the law shall
receive their reward and to this end we
call upon all decent citizens to furnish
your committee with any evidence they
may have of selling liquors in Beaufort.
We congratulate the town OF Beaufort
on having local prohibition, and the sue
cess of the measure and we wish TO brand
as an infamous lie what is often heard
from the enemies of God and humanity,
that there is more whskey drank IN 3eau-
fort now than when we had the open bar
rooms.

not legally authorized by the voters. The |
outcome was that the people employed |
legal counsel, and Judge Neal has granted |
an Injunction to restrain the collection of |
the tax. pending a hearing to be held |
August 18th at the court house at Car |
thage Former Judge James D. McIver
appears for the people. Mt content with |
the attempt to collect the special tax, the |
town commissioners, about June goth, |
made public a license ordinance effective
June 9Th imposing license taxes on nearly |
every kind of business in town. The head |
ing of the license schedule read that IL |
censes were imposed on fthe following
subjects, trades and professions taxed by
the General Assembly," and a long list
followed of those subjects which must pay
a license tax The peculiar feature about
the list is the fact that most of the sub
iects in the list are not taxed at all by
the General Assembly, and the levying of
local school license taxes on such subjects
is therefore illegal, according to the head
ing of the list AS no licenses were ever
before imposed in our town the people
were astounded, especially as some of the
amounts are so excessive that some peo-
pie would be compelled to give up their
business: For instance, a tax of $4,000
on general merchants in town with 20
voters. a summer population of %, and
in winter about 500. Boarding houses are
taxed 81 90 for every room in their house,
besides ) per cent of their gross receipts
imposed by the special advertising tax
Even the owner of house must pay $l.oo
for every room if rented to a family by
the month or season, in addition to the
special tax Of per cent. on the rent ltselI
The Radical postmaster here was elected
tax collector by the town commissioners
and promptly issued notices to those ne
assumed ought to pay license taxes that
they were due and must be paid by inc
Goth of July. Some of the people TOOK ex-
ception to his autocratic command and ~
ter consultation with their counsel anoth-
err Injunction was obtained from judge
Neal. which is also to be heard at Car
thage August 18th. An Interesting feature
of this license case is that the Mayor and
commissioners have declared in public that
the money received from the licenses is
to be used for advertising purposes, IN the
face of the fact that the State Constltu-
ton expressly forbids such use OF tax
funds lit not being for a necessary expense
of the town, unless authorized by ma
iority vote of the qualified voters. The
people here are willing to pay all legal
taxes but no others. Most of us thought
that carpet bag" methods disappeared
about 1870, but this appears to be re-
yival. History repeats itself.

Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Pinebluff, N. c., July 29.-The special ad-
vcrtising act passed by the last Legsla-
ture with referendum attached, was
voted on by the qualified voters April
9th, but failed Of adoption by one vote,
the vote being twelve to eleven. AS the
qualified voters on the registration book
numbered twenty-five, thirteen votes for
approval were necessary to adopt the
act With but twelve votes cast for ap-
prevail naturally the citizens supposed the
act was defeated, and under the provisions
of the act another election might be held
at the end of four months. 1t appears
that the town commissioners entered on
their records that as a ma jority of tie
votes cast were fer approval, the act was
therefore adopted. A number of the tax
payers then presented a protest to the
commissioners, citing the fact that the
act itself required majority OF the quail
fed voters. and further that Article VIII,
Section l. of the State Constitution, OK
phcitly states that no tax shall be levied
for any but necessary expenses except by
a majority vote of the qualified voters.
This protest was carefully placed on file.
Constitutions appeared a small matter to
our town fathers, as they soon issued q
notice that the special tax would be. in
force from July 1st. As a majority OF
the qualified voters were opposed to the
tax, as also large majority of the resi-
dent and nonresident property owners, a
public meeting was held and nearly every
resident in town responded. The mayor
and commissioners were present, but fall
ed to give satisfactory reasons why
they were trying to collect special tax

To Whom II KIy Concern:
At the invitation of The " FORCE" Food Com
pany OF Buffalo, have visited their Mills and made
a careful examination of the materials from which
" GEORGE" is prepared and the processes which
convert it into its finished condition
found that g FORCE y consists exclusively OF
what my previous analysis indicated, viz: Whole
Wheat and Barley, with favoriDg Of Table Salt,
faxed, cooked and serized by 300 degrees of heat.
A feature Of the manufacture which impressed me
considerably was the fact that the process entirely
mechanical, the food being prepared, cooked and
boxed by machinery without ever coming in contact
with the hands or clothing of the mill operatives.
| was also gratifed to note that experienced
Chemist daily supervised the entire output and that
each days manufacture also tested by an expert

HAD TO USE BEER.

1t was a jolly party, and jolly
three days had been spent on Warsaw.
The provisions had run out. but there
was still half a keg of beer on hand,
when it was decided to go to Thun-
derbolt for a fresh supply.
The trouble occurred in Joe's cut, and
the members of the party were in a
quandry. Did ever before mortal man
find himself in such an awkward
plight? 1t was a steam launch, and
there was no water in the boiler. Some
thing had to be done, and SAT- water
could not be used. This was out of
the question, yet there was no fresh
water within several miles, and 70
water to carry the boat that distance.
1t was an awful thing for thirsty
crowd to do, but the half key of beer
was thrown away. That is it was
wasted. Into the boiler it was poured
and with steam made by pure lager the
boat was propelled as far as Whining
ton Island, where there is an abund-
ance of artesian water.
1t almost broke the heart of 'the
man with capacity" and he is still
talking about the lost beer. In his
opinion the maste of water isn't a cir
cumstance to the waste of beer, and

UNION VETERANS VISIT
SCENES OF STRUGGLE

Maj. Frank A. Butts and Capt. Henry
A. Phillips, two Union veterans of the
Civil War, and members of the firm of
Phillips & Butts, which does about the
largest pension business of any of the
many firms in Washington, are in Sa-
vannah, stopping at the Pulaski House.
Both are prominent in fraternal cir
cles, Maj. Butts holding Office in both
the Elks and knights Templar.
The purpose of their visit is purely
pleasure. This pleasure consists in Wis
iting various points which were scenes
of the struggle between the states. For
the past six years these two gentlemen,
who were members of the Forty-sev-
enth New York, and fought together in
Gen. Vealie's brigade. have come to-
gether to visit the battlehelds which
were the scenes of the operation of
their brigade.
During the war they were stationed
for many months near Savannah. They
claim that about the only points not
yet visited and inspected lie between
Savannah and Beaufort. They will
leave this morning for BEAUFORT, and
anticipate a most pleasant trip.
Mai. Butts and Capt. Phillips came
TO Savannah yesterday morning on the
City of Macon. being passengers on
the new vessels maiden trip. They
were particularly impressed by the
courtesies and attentions extended
them by the officers OF the boat, and
said that the trip was the most de-
lightful they had ever taken. In the
afternoon they visited Hotel Tybee, and
were much pleased with the opportuni-
ties for pleasure offered by the famous
resort.

VISITORS SAW BIG
GOVERNMENT DREDGE
Capt Hubbard Cautiously Furnished Informa-
ton Regarding His Charge.

Quite number of visitors went to
the wharves at the foot of Drayton
street yesterday to get a glimpse of
the big dredging machine, the govern
ment sea-going suction dredge, the
Cumberland, which, as mentioned in
the Morning News, may be secured for
service in this port Capt. Hubbard,
who is master, showed the visitors
about the boat and explained the mo-
dus operandi, giving much interesting
information relative to the big dredge.
Capt. Hubbard is of the opinion that
his vessel would be assigned by the
department to the port at which there
said that at Fernandirta the work has
been practically completed, and that
there is no longer any need for her. 1t
is his opinion that several ports will
endeavor to secure the Cumberland.
notably New Orleans, where the har-
Dor is much in need of dredging.
The Cumberland is a new dredge,
having been finished last December.
She was assigned to Fernandina, and
commenced work at once at that point.
AS the result of her operations the har-
Dor has been deepened to a depth of
thirty feet. She is now awaiting or
ders from Washington. 1t is expected
that these orders will be received with
in the next day or two. While no in
timation has been received as to what
dry dock will be used in making the
necessary repairs, it is conceded that
Newport News will be chosen, since
that is the nearest point. The dry
