Writing to his paper, the Shelby Star
Ct his colleague in the Senate, Hon. Clyde
r. Hoey writes:
Senator Us. T. Ballenger, of Polk
county, one of the Senators from this
district. is a man of high character and
real worth. He is a big farmer, owns
ard conducts one of the largest farms
in our section of the State He is not a
kid-glove farmer, but one who has made
his money himself and who personally
manages every detail of the work. Sen
ator Ballenger is also one OF the wealth
lest men and the largest taxpayers in
his county, and will make a valuable
member of the Senate. He was form
erly a most successful merchant"
For the past two years Sampson coun-
ty has been prohibition. The whiskey
element of the county is dissatisfied and
are now asking that Senator Goodwin in
troducc a bill in the Senate TO leave 1t
to a vote of the people of the county. we
are informed that delegation faVorlng
this bill will visit Raleigh Friday IN or
der to get the bill through. We do not
know the sentiment of the people OF
Sampson but we should judge that the
WhlSkey element enteflalHS hope VI IHeS
would not desire this bill. 1t seems mat
the law as it stands is good one, and
if it answers the purpose Of the better
ment, and elevation of the citizens, tnen
it should stand.-Dunn GUIDE.
Polk county is achieving notoriety. She
went Democratic in November and since
then a good prospect has developed tor
finding oil in that hitherto republican
county. She elected to the legislature
James P. Morris, who has the distinction
of being the first Democrat elected 10
the Legislature from that county since
1876 and the member that year Mr.
Simpson, was the first Democrat since the
Civil War. In Senator Ballenger, rolK
county has her first Senator of any po-
litical party.-Cleveland star

At the Democratic caucus the other
night certain distinguished legislator
was so much epgrossed that when his
name was called on the roll to see if
there was a quorum that he started for
ward to vote for his candidate.

The Clarkton Express is uneasy for
fear this Legislature may disturb the
bachelor representative, Mr.. Torney
Willis. of Bladen. 1t says Some writer
says that the present Legislature will
have to tackle all questions from schools
and railroads down to old bachelors and
dogs, and also says that a strong lobby
Of old maids are expected to work for
taxation Of old bachelors. Now, if old
bachelors are taxed old maids ought to
be, too; for sometimes a man is a bache-
Tor simply because he can't help him
self. How does our worthy Represen-
tative stand on this question? We are
afraid if a law to tax bachelors was
passed he like the writer, would have
to pay the tax

ADDITIONAL COUNCIL MATTERS.

The reports Of the committees
at the city council meeting showed
disbursements as follows for month
Of July: Street committee s243.44;
finance committee, s670.5l; GENE.
terry committee, 1875.
The secretary's report for July
showed collections Of S2l.O0 for
school fund and 1856 for other
funds.
The fiscal agents report showed
balances as follows:
Special building fund. sl47l.S7
Waterworks fund ..... l374.6S
Special street fund ..... S65.5l

The committee on opening a
street in the northern part Of town
in the vicinity Of John Conroy's
residence, was given power to act
A proposition was discussed be.
fore the council to establish a park
on the vacant block set apart for
a school site, west of the residence
of Judge Doremus. The matter
was not formally presented TO the
council, but il meets with much
favor from the people of the west
side of town, We learn, and The
members Of the council are not
ayerse TO it if the matter can be
arranged. The plan appears to be
TO enclose the block under a suita-
bic fence, using iron pipes if prac-
tical, and smooth off and clean the
grounds. As the matter now stands
roads run across the property and
it is being considerably washed
and cut. The proposition appears
to be that the citizens over that
way pay for the material and that
the city pay for the labor necessary
to fence, clean and level off the
grounds.

Knoxville, Tenn, Special-Garrett
Heddon, an alleged moonshiner, has
been stabbed to death by his brother,
Riley Heddon, in Polk county. A year
ago in an alteration with another
brother, Garrett killed him and this
murder led to his own death. Garrett
and Riley had visited the town OF Re-
lance and had started home when they
became involved in a quarrel about
Garrett having killed his brother, the
result being that Riley plunged a knife
through his body. Garrett was taken
home, where. after his family had as
sembled, he gave to his eldest son,
aged 10, his pistol, making him swear
that he would kill his uncle when he
was large enough.
