YOung Boy Was Arrested in Clover

YOung Boy Was Arrested in Clover
 The numerous complaints which have lately come from different parts of the city regarding the promiscuous dls- charge of fire arms in the city limits resulted yesterday in the arrest of a thirteen year old white boy, Grant Lamar. who lives on South Perry Street.
 The little fellow was arrested by Patrolman Lacy at 9:30 o'clock yestey- day morning on South Hull Street, near Gloverdale. Thinking that he was out side of the city limits, the youth dis- charged shot gun in vacant field. He is charged with violating Section 1o69 of the city code.
 The trial of Lamar was continued until Tuesday afternoon pending an investigation. There is a likelihood that tho ignorance of the youth ip regard to the limits of the city will gain him a dismisai of his case.
 Acting Police Chief Taylor says that he is determined to stop the reckless shooting and he is particularly anx- lous to catch the adult yiolators of the law who, 1t is reported, are great nuisance in many portions of the city.

the stars sang TIL and that they
were singing of a reconciliation.
Here are some of the things the
as~troIoger said about her:
a she had the evil planet Saturn

as the ruling planet of this sion is

Forty-Six Receive More
Than They Pay.
T%REASURER'S REP0R!
Showing of Some Counties Whose Ia'
Returns Do Not Equal The Appro.
priatIons by Which They Bene-
fit is Surprising in View OF
Their Wealth.

As indicated by the report Of Treas
urcr Lacy for The year 1905. 46 Of the
81 counties in the state fail TO re-
turn to the state government in the
way Of taxes an amount equal to that
which they receive from the state for
the several purposes which are the
subject Of state appropriation.
The aggregate Of this character Of
deficiency. taking the whole amount
received by the forty-siH counties
mentioned in excess of what they re-
turn by way Of State taxation, IS
$123,9S1.29.
The remaining ffty-one counties,
on the other hand, paid into the state
$~324,190.93 more than
they received.
Of the counties showing a deficit,
the largest discrepancy between re
ccipts and returns is shown by Burke
county, which received from the state
$E,7736.25 more than was paid III
from that county in taxes.
The largest surplus was shown by
New Hanover taxes returns from
whic amounted to S30,643.51 more
than the county received from the
state for ali purposes.
