The machine shops of Messrs. Dewey
Bros., turned out last week a locomo
tive for a large lumber concern in the
State of Georgia. The locomotive,
which was built entirely at the above
named sho»ps, was taken out on a
wooden railway in the yards of the
shops this morning, thoroughly tested
and found to be right in every particu
lar. That a locomotive can be built
from the ground up right here in
Goldsboro is a cause for congratula
tion on the part of every citizen in cur
city.—Goldsboro Argus.
The newspapers from the western
part of the State bring news cf great
damage done by the recent rains and
consequent flooded streams. Through
out that whole section the rainfall was
excessive, hhe wind was high and the
temperature low, with a considerab.e
fall of snow.
In Lenoir and Caldwfe.i counties the
storm was the most severe ever known
for this time of the year. The Yadkin
changed its course in several places and
all bottom land on the creeks and riv
ers will have to be re-plowed and
planted. Land is much damaged, aud
the roads are almost impa:.sabie for the
mud.
Of the thirty-nine ruling princes of
Europe twenty have no direct male
heir. These include, among German
princes, the Kings of Saxony, Bavaria,
and Wurtemberg, the Grand Dukes of
Saxe Weimar, of Mecklenburg Schwer
in, and of Hesse, the Dukes of Saxe
Altenburg and Saxe Coburg, and the
Princes of Lippe and both Schwarz-
burgs. Besides these there are the Czar
of Russia, the Emperor of Austria, the
Kings of Italy, Spain, Belgium, and
Servia, and the Prince of Liechten

May Wiil Be a Busy Month With
—Plan of Operations.
The State Tax Commission, com
posed cf the members of the Corpora
tion Commission, is now preparing a
pamphlet of instructions to the tax-
liatETS of the State touching the per
formance of their duty. The Cooimis-
eion has been at work on these in
structions for several days, but they
are not yet completed.
Under the new Machinery Act, sec
tion 6, it is provided that the Board of
State Tax Commissioners shall have
and exercise general supervision over
the taxlisters and assessing offl:ers of
this State, and take such measures as
will secure the enfiorcement of the
provisions of this act, “to the end that
all the properties of this State liable to
assessment for taxation shall be p.ac-M
upon the assessment rolls and assessed
at their actual cash value.”
This is the principal duty prescribed
for the Commission, in fact its reason
for being; and section 17 tells how this
purpose of the law shall he carried out
and the end aimed at attained. It is
as follows:
It shall he the duty of the Tax Com
missioners at least thii'ty days pre
vious to the date fixed for li&tiiig taxes
to prepare a pamphlet for the instruc
tion of tax assessors. Said pamphlet
shall, in as plain terms as possible, ex
plain the proper working of the tax
laws of the S.tate, and shall call par
ticular attention to any paints in the
administration of the laws which have
seemed to be overlooked or neglected.
They shall advise the assessors of the
practical working cf the laws, and ex
plain any points which seem to be in
tricate and upon which assessors may
differ, particularly calling their atten
tion to the requirement that all prop
erty shall be assessed at its fair market
value, and the penaities upon asse-'^ors
for failure to observe this provision.
Copies of said pamphlet shall he sent
to the register of deeds of each county,
whose duty it shall be to s§e that each
assessor and taxlister is uirnished with
a copy.
But the commissioners are nzt to
step w'itih preparing and sending out
this pamphlet. They must visit every
county in the State and this they will
try to do between May 1st and June
Is.
To do this„ they will divide out the
counties of the State, and beginning
•on May 1st each commissioner will
visit one county-seat a day, if passible,
notice having first been given the tax

The Sta^e Treasurer’s Books,
Trea.surer Lacy thinks the time has
ceme to change the present notoricusly
antiquated system of book-keeping
hitherto maintaining in the Treasurer’s
office'. The experience of post Treas-
ureirs and the recent stealing of Major
Martin, carried on sysitematioaily but
undetested for a number of years, have
proved to him the necessity for a
change in the method of keeping the
Eitaite’s accounts and he is now pre
paring a new set of books which will
be ready in the early summer. The sys
tem he has adopted is a modern, up-
to-date one, with some alternations
and improvements suggested by practi-
cal experience in the office. It will he
put in operation as soon as the new
books are ready and lit is practicable
to make the change.

and tell you of the benefit I have
wonderful remedies. Before taking Lydia E. Pmk
ham’s Vegetabie Compound, 1 was a misery to my-
STand e?ery one around me. I suffered terrible
pain in my back, head, and right side, was very
SSvous, w^uld cry for hours. Menses would appar
sometimes in two weeks, then again not t^iree
or four months. I was so tired and weak, could not
sleep nights, sharp pains would dart througn my
heart that would almost cause me to fall. _
‘•Mv mother coaxed me to try Lydia E. Pmkham s
VcD-etable Compound. I had no faith in it, but to
pleas^her I So. The first bottle helped me so
much that I continued its use _ I am
