Money Being Paid into the City
Treasury in Good Shape
to Date are Bet
ter than last Year. $4,000
Collected :.

Deputy City Treasurer Nels
Lee reports that taxes are being
paid IN much better than a year
ago. This seems to dispel the
idea that people have no money.
10 date $3O51.75 has been col
lected while last year only about
a thousand dollars had been
collected at this time. 1t is ex-
pected that money will come in
faster during the next ten days.
All personal property taxes
must be paid before the 10th of
the month. Most Of the large
tax payers hold on as long as
possible and do not as a general
rule pay their real estate tax un-
til a short time before the City
Treasurer makes a settlemen t
with the County Treasurer.

Prospect for Ore.

Thomas Hendrickson. the
farmer who some time ago dis
covered signs of iron on his land
in the vicinity of the -Four Mile
Creek, has interested local and
outside parties to the extent
that some prospecting will be
done during the winter months
to see if the ore can be found in
paying quantities. Hendrickson
is of the opinion that there is
ore in large quantities upon his
land and the parties now inter-
ested with him will soon deter
mine if he is right in this
opinion. A large hole will be
sunk in the grouud and samples
of the ore taken will be sent for
analysis at the laboratories on the
range. If the iron ore is found
in paying quantities Hendrick-
son says that there are num-
Der of parties who will put their
money into developing a mine.

According to statistics pre-
sented in the official canal record
just received in Washington. no
snch work has ever been done
before as Col. Goethals has been
doing on the Isthmus. 1t is
shown, for instance, that every
fifty working days the com mis- :
sion is moving an amount of
material equal to the Pyramid of
Cheops, which consumed the
labor of 100, 900 men for twenty
years in the building and the
services of the same number of
men for ten years in construct
ing the road connecting the work
with the quarry. At the pre-
sent rate of progress the com
mission could build the Suez
Canal in three and eight tenths
years, although it took ten years
for de Lesseps to complete his
work. According to the latest
health report from Panama, the
Isthmus has been free from vel
low fever for more than eighteen
months, and there has been a
continued and steady improve
ment in the health conditions.
Medals of a suitable character
are to be given to all citizens of
the United States who have
served on the Isthmus for two
years in the employ of the
government and who. during
that period, have rendered salts
factory service.

should beware and old maids
take courage. Yesterday morn
ing when the witching hour of
twelve arrived, the year of 1907
passed into history and the new
year, 1908, exceptionally full of
possibilities because of it being
leap year, was ushered in. Love
lorn maids will have a perfect
right to 'pop" the question and
we are inclined to the belief that
there are those in the CITY who
will not let the opportunity pass
unheaded.
Leap year comes IN every year
divisable by four without a re-
mainder only in centesimal
years. The last one occurred in
1904 and reports from over the
country that year went to show
that the ladies took advantage Of
their prerogative. The year
1908 will probably establish a
new record for this is an age of
progress and the ladies say:
why not an age of progress in
matrimonial matters and in pop
ping the question in PARTICULAR"
The history of leap year is in
teresting. In consequence of
the differences in the calendar
prior to the time Of Pope Greg
ory III, the equinox, in the
course of few centuries fell
back sensibly toward the begin
ming OF the year. In the time of
Julius Caesar it corresponded
to the 25th day of March and in
the sixteenth century it had re-
trogated to the 18th of March.
IN the year 1882 Pope Gregory
III sought by the reformation Of
the calendar to correct this err
ror. By supressing ten days of
the calendar Gregory restored
the equinox to the 21st of March
the day on which it fell at the
time of the Council of Nice in
325. The Gregorian rule may
be expressed as follows;
Every year of which the num-
Der is divisable by four without
a remainder is a leap year. ex-
cepting the centesimal years.
which are only leap years when
divisable by four after SUPPRESS
ing the two final zeros. Thus
1900 was leap year and 1900,
1900 and 1900 were comm on
years, 1000 will be a leap
year and so on.
The length of the mean year
thus fixed is 365. 2425 days. or
365 days. 5 hours, 49 minutes
and II seconds, which exceed S
the true solar year by 1926
seconds, an error which amounts
to only one day in 1925 years.
The new calander was received
and adopted by all Roman Cath
olic countries but the Protestant |
countries of Germany and the
Kingdom of Denmark adhered to
the Julian year until 1900 and in
England the alteration was op-
posed until 1852, when it was
adopted.

Of Lincoln For Commissioner Of Agrl.
culture.

The many friends Of Major
William A. Graham of Lincoln
County, n. c., are presenting
his name for the nomination at
the shands of the Democratic
State Convention for the office
of Commissioner of Agriculture.
He is a farmer who has been to a
large extent a leader in his Sec
ton in improved methods of
farming and in the raising Of
live stock. He has always been
true to the farmers interest as
the measures he has introduced
in the Legislature and on the
Board of Agriculture show. No
legislator in the history of the
State perhaps has introduced
as many bills of a practical ma
ture and which still stand upon
the statute books of the State az
ter thirty years trial. He began
his service to the Democratic
party in 1867 and has served in
every campaign since. His nomi
nation will add strength to the
ticket and put an able campaign
err at the command of the Exc
cutive Committee and be a recog
milton by the party of his faith
full services rendered beth a
Legislator and as a member o.
the Board of Agriculture for tn,
benefit of the whole State.
