Peoples Drug Store Has
Fire Loss OF Thousands
Drug and Merchandise Stoc ks Badly Damaged; Partly
Covered by Insurance; Bl Appeared To Have
Started from Defect We Wiring in Ceiling

Fire of undetermined origin, but ap~
parently due to a defective electric
wiring, wrecked the Peoples Drug
Store on Garnett street, near the
Montgomery street intersection, be
tween 100 and 2 a. m. today. In ad-
dition to the loss of much of the
stock of drugs and merchandise, DAM
age was done to the building.
The business was owned and op-
Grated by j. G.. Tolson and l.. 3.
Petty. Mr.. Tolson said the mer-
chandise stock and drugs inventorled
around $1,000, and that he carried
about two-thirds coverage in insur-
ance. This did not include damage
to the building and the fixtures. Fire
men estimated the total damage ut
around $4,000.
1t was the most damaging fire Hen
derson has had in more than four
years. and both fire trucks respond
ed to the alarm, though only one was
used. The blaze was confined to the
building, except that flames at times

changed hands quite frequently; not

There is, nevertheless, ais much
yowling about lobbying as ever.
No inroads appear to have been
made against it.
What Is Lobbying?
Well, what is lobbying?
A special interest is "prO" or
contra" some specific governmental
policy, and wages an organized cam
paign accordingly.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers and the United States Board
of Trade have their own respective
notions (rather similar to one an
Other) as to what will be ke5t in the
long run, for the country. Labor has
a couple of organizations somewhat
conflicting and conflicting likewise
with big businessO which have their
ideas.
Anti-SalOOn League
Washington never had a more for
midable lobby than the Anti-Saloor
Leagues.
I always was against it, but / al
ways considered it entitled to express
itself.
Maybe it misrepresentation but a GER
tain amount of misrepresentation is
constitutional. The Anti-Saloon Lea
que, however, never bought votes. It
scared legislators, but I believe that
that was it's privilege. All it did was
to warn candidates that prohibitions
lists would cast their tallots against
"antis" if it could identify them.
Which was strictly according to
Hoyle, it seems to me.
Forged kilograms.
An organization is not, of course,
justified, in sending forged kilograms
Gas, it is charged, has been done-by
certain power interests)-from sup
posed voters to congressman.
But surely it is their right to urge
legitimate sympathizers to telegraph.
Is 1t This?
The whole issue is this:
If campaign is on your side it is
a patriotic movement.
If it is on the opposition side it is
venal lobby.

PREPAID TAXES To
LY>OvER $4,000
Receipts by County Paid At
Rate of 81 But Refunds
Will Be Made

Taxes for 1888 prepaid to the county
UP to July 1 amounted to slightly
more than $4,000, Miss Dorothea
Woodlief, county accountant, said to-
day. A number of corporations and
individuals have paid their accounts
by anticipating the item, so as to take
advantage of the three percent dis
count given for payments prior TO
July /.
Payments have been made on
tasis of tax rate of 81 on the $500
valuation, although the 1889 rate
will not be anything like that much.
Refunds will be made to all tax-pay
ers settling prior to the fixing of the
new levy, which will not be made for
several weeks yet
The tax levy for 1878 was SO
cents, and county officials have esti-
mated the new rate for 1889 will
be approximately Is cents.
Final work on the tentative budget
is now being done by Miss Woodlief,
and it will be ready for submission
to the county commissioners next
Monday, when the regular July meet
ing will be held, having been post
poned from last Monday, which was
the independence Day holiday. 1t is
expected that the total county pro
perty valuation will he available also
by that time Estimates have placed
that item at around S17,5OO,OOO, off by
$5OO,OoO to 100000 by reason of the
loss of intangible. taxes taken over
this year by the State reductions in
expenditures. largely by reason of Ii
quotation of debt obligations, will
make possible the additional cut in
the tax rate.

Apparently the fire originated near
a ceiling light fixture above the pre-
scription counter was the worst dam
aged. as that appeared to be where
most of the fire ragged. Smoke, water
and heat caused most of the loss IN
the front of the store.
The building, part of the old M.
Dorsey estate, and owned by his
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Dorsey, IS
understood to have been covered by
insurance to the full extent of the
damage The late DR.. Dorsey conduct
ed a drug store there for half CEN
tury prior to his death. The Tolson
and Petty firm have operated the
Peoples Drug Store there for several
wears since the building was remodel
ed.
It is expected that the business will
be restored and opened again after
insurance claims have been settled
and repairs can be made.

The only kind of fool worse than
a plain old fool is an amorous old
fool-as practically all will agree who
have watched the antics of some SEN
lie old crone smitten with the charm
of a young person of the opposite sex
Being just that kind of an amorous
old fool appears to have been the
death of "Old Barnicle Back" the
3OO-pound, 1OOyear-old loggerhead
turtle who used to paddle lazily about
the pool at the u. S. Biological Labor
a.ory ON Pivers Island, few hun
dred yards from the Beaufort-More-
head City bridge, according to re-
ports reaching here from down Carte
ret way.
It seems that "Barner" went screwy
over an attractive female loggerhead
"a mere flapper of 80 years and
100 pounds. They put her in the
pool with Barner a few weeks ago.
But he just couldn't take it, and
now he's dead of a busted" heart
(not broken, you'll note).
1--WE thought Old Barner was so
old and sluggish that he would pay
no attention to the young lady log
gerhead we put in with him. said
DR.. H. F. Prytherch, director of the
laboratory, "but we sure missed our
guess. He came to life with bang
. and started swimming after her
around the pool. One time he caught
up with her and bit part of her head
off. He kept up the fast pace for
two days-M hours a day. The third
day we found him dead-his heart had
burst with the strain.

The biggest item in the budget is

The present conditions set

that any colt can face the starter

the colt actually will be

may not be a full 2-year-old until
along in the following April OF
May or sometimes June.

Of course most breeders en-

the largest number of colts are

the youngsters bones have not
fully developed and, while the
extra months may not develop
them entirely, it would mean that
the strain of training and hard
work would be delayed for that
length of time. Four or five

times mean a tremendous lot to
a race horses life-especially
when you consider the average
racers usefulness on the turf runs

yearlings would have more time
before they are broken, for, as
it now stands, they commence
their preparations for a career

Some horsemen use a great deal
of discretion in handling these
babies, by taking them along care,
fully and giving them plenty of
time. But it is the commercial
horseman that is dangerous and
it is he whom this ruling would

money is power and mostly they
have a good capital behind them.
From the sales ring at their
tender age, these yearlings are
taken to the track and, before they
are taught what it is all about,
they commence the grind and
strain of training which is hard
on older horses. The result is
destruction.
The bones are too soft and un-
made, and the horses go wrong
either in disposition, nervous SyS-
tenn, or break down.
Then along come the fire-irons,
the blisters and paints, in vain
effort to correct what has been
destroyed and to overcome the
privations of nature. And if the
young horse has shown his trainer
any promise, through all of the
veterinary'S aid, is then compelled
to be given time, and nature
usually winds up doing the job
anyway.
If the youngster has not shown
any promise to date of its cas-
ualty, he is turned over usually to
less experienced hands with less
capital to carry on and his racing
days are ended before he has had
chance at life.

Nine have been nominated to
start and it should be a bitter
battle as there are several top
notchers entered.
Challedon, the son of Challen-
ger II, a homebred, will probably
be backed into favoritiSm. Chal-

fame when he won the Maryland

dark horse of the cash. His last
outing was in the Belmont Flu,
turity, where he finished a close
third to Porter's Mite and Eight
