Mr- Nathan Metzger is an experienced buyer and fully understands meneeasana wants of our people and the present excel lent stock of the firm was most care fully selected. The firm sells for cash and at rock bottom prices. The indebtedness of the county to the school fund, according to the find ing olthe finance committee, was $G,-218,34- After allowing the county various amounts incorrectly charged to the county fund, the indebtedness was adjusted at $2,500, payable in two equal installments out of the tax levys for 188G and 1887. This settles the county and school finances which hereafter are to bo kept separate and distinct. Charlotte Observer : The program for the change of gauge of the Air Line road, has been issued. The gauge of the entire road will be changed be tween the hours of 4 a. m., and 12 m., on Tuesday, Juno 1st. The workmen are to be paid from $2.50 to $3 per day.

Raleigh News-Observer: Yesterday a reporter had an interview with Maj. Finger; who said that the school fund loses money in a singular manner. In the course of the interview Maj. Fing er said that many boards of county commissioners have taken for the sup port of the poor one-Iourth of the 27 cents poll tax levied id the school law, lust as they have taken for that pur pose one-fourth of the poll-tax levied in jthe revenue act and one-fourth of that levied for county purposes. This 3?i cents is expressly for school pur poses and is-not subject to the deduc tion of one-fourth for the support of the poor. Where this deduction has been made the schools have received S cents too little on the poll, and if it Were dona all . ovpt rVt State the v m m m AU LUV V mm lJ Vm.

A case of considerablA intArcf was disnosed of in th SnnprJnr Pnnt on Tuesdav. Mr. . A . Mrfir Duplin, brought suit against the W. & W.

This the com panv refused. andhnnpA th en if rrii q jury gave him the full amount of the i . ? -i ... pcuany proviaea Dy statute in such cases, amounting in this instance to $2,850, from which verdict the Rail road appealed. Railroads should be made to be prompt, and the people are entitled to proper protection and pen alties ior negligence, out sucli penal ties ought to be within reason and justness, which is hardly the case in the verdict given. The next General Assembly should revise tho statute in this particular, as it is nianifestlv nn- jusr. The Railroads will certainlv take good care that they recover all such excessive damages, and the mer chants at Mount Olive and their pat rons will probably have to make it good by increase in freights.

Our merchants are now displaviner beautiful stocks of Spring and Sum mer goods and one is seized with a sofVp, poverty-stricken ague as he gazes upon the many useful and at tractive articles that he would like to possess and then reflects upon the flounder-like condition of his exche quer. And yet these goods are off ered at prices astonishingly low and it doesn't take very much money to buy as many as you can carry home. Goldsboro merchants excel in pretty goods and low pricos. Keep your eye on the advertising: columns of the Messenger and learn where to secure .bargains. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the celebration of the sixty-seventh anniversary of Ameri can Odd Fellowship, by Neuse Lodge, No. 6, of this city, on Monday even ing, April 26th.

After the address a banauet. which will doubtless be elegant in all of its appointments, will be given at the JNew Arhnerton Hotel, to those holding tickets thereto. Messrs. C. B. Aycock, R. G. Powell and W. .Har rison, compose the committee of ar-! rangements, and we predict that the result will prove the wisdom of the Lodge in the selection of managers of their celebration. WAYNE COUNTY FINANCES. The Indebtedness of the County to the Schools Adjusted. We publish elsewhere a recapitula tion of the report of the Finance Com mittee recently appointed by the Board of Education. The report itself is quite voluminous, and as the matter has since been satisfactorily adjusted, so f ar as the indebtedness of the coun ty toithe school fund is concerned, we deem it unnecessary to give more than a mere recapitulation of the report. The Committee began its laborious investigation 'with the year 1877, up to which period a previous committee had adjusted the affairs of the county. As the report shows, balances were found to be due the school each year, amounting on the 12th of May 1S85, to $9,467.09. Of this sum they charge Sheriff Grantham with $3,229.35, and the county with $6,218.34. The Board or County Commissioners and Board of Education met in joint session on Monday for the purpose of considering and to adjust the much complicated matter. It was evident that large sums had from time to time been incorrectly paid trom the county resources mat snouia nave oeen charged to the school fund, but the exact amount seemed to be a doubtful matter. The report of a committee, appointed in 1884, to ascertain this amount, figured the indebtedness of the county to the schools down to only $744. Since then the county bad used $1,792 of school funds, so applied in correctly by ex-lreasurer Holland, and for which the school fund had not been reimbursed. The justness of these two claims was conceded and a resolution fixing upon the sum of $2,500 in adjustment of the indebted ness to the schools, was agreed upon, signed by the several members of both Boards, and a settlement of a trouble some matter has thus been reached in what seems to be fair and just to both the county and the schools. This does not affect the committee s report as to the finding of $3,229.35 said to be due by Sheriff Grantham, and which remains yet to be adjusted. Legal proceedings have already been instituted to that end against the Sher iff for a portion of that amount, and the matter has been referred and is now in the hands of Messrs. W. R. Allen and W. C. Munroe acting as Re ferees. These gentlemen -promise to have their report ready to be submit ted to the court at the July term , so there is liope that the financial mat ters of the county may soon be placed in a better condition. In this connection we take pleasure in endorsing the suggestion made by the Finance Committee in directing attention to the necessity of keeping the financial records in a more mtelli- erent and business like manner, and we hope that those in authority will see the importance of acting upon the sueestion. The county can well afford to employ a competent book keeper at a sum that need not exceed $200. a year, and by keeping an item ized and correct account with each and everv county officer, and also with the several justices, there need never be anv more contusion or trouble, such as has been experienced under the present loose way of doing busi- I1GSS The present Board of County Com missioners are gentlemen of excellent reputation, and far be it from us to censure them beyond what seems just. They have honestly, but in a rather loose way, managed the affairs of the county. No one questions their bou estv or integrity, but all will agree that much, if not all, of the present confusion in the finances of the coun ty would have been prevented if a cor rect and itemized exhibits,giving debits and credits, had been placed before them at each of their monthly meet ings; ? . : - " DUPLIN DOTS. Gathered by a Messenger Corres pondent. 1 - The strawberries are : floarishine- and with! f a vorablo weather for a few weeks, they will prove a golden har vest to the truckers. Some of Duplin's farmers wDl'plant cotton this week. Gentlemen; Would it not be advisable to 'wait a week, provided you spend the week hauling mud, thicket-mould and barn yard manure. Many who raised tobacco last year, will not cultivate the weed this year. Inexperience and consequent poor grades and low prices, have discour aged them, and they are now ready for the next new crop that has a silver lining. That tobacco can be success fully cultivated in thsection has been sufficiently demonstrated by those who had experienced men from the golden belt. Try again gentlemen, your luck may change. An evidence of the general pros perity of the farmers, is shown in the desire to improve their stock. Within the last week we have seen some fine horses on our streets, and many have expressed themselves as convinced that there is money in stock-raising. At tho conclusion of the services at the Baptist church last Sunday, a Warsaw young man carefully; brushed his hat, placed it on the seatj picked up a song book and walked oat. Will some young lady please rise and ex plain 1 Mr Chappel , of Edenton, has located in Warsaw and will open a shop for the repairing of jewelry. Mr. Chap pel may be found at the Carlton Hotel and we cheerfully commend him to those who have lazy time piecef. Not long since' we intimated that there would be new buildings erected in Warsaw soon and already Messrs.S. E. Hines and H. L. Stevens have be gun work upon their residences. Mr. J. R. Smith, has taken his fami ly to Goldsboro and expects to make that city his home. We regret to loose Randolph but take pleasure in com mending him to the business men of Goldsboro as a man worthy of their confidence and hope that he will have no difficulty in securing renumerative employment. There is a project on foot to build a free church at Snatchet. There is a growing sentiment at Snatchet in fayor of prohibition and it is not at all improbable that m tho near future Snatchet will be noted for the sobriety, industry and Godliness of its people. Our people are delighted with Sena tor Vance's speech on "Civil Service Reform." The Senator struck a key note that finds a responsive chord in the hearts of Duplin Democrats, and "it will be a cold day indeed" when they turn their backs on him. The political pot is simmering and ere long will be boiling hot. Those who are in are anxious to retain their respective positions while there is no scarsity of those who are willing to be sacrificed for the public good. Re gardless, of dissensions over local af fairs on one point we are a unit, viz : Oliver Allen must be solicitor. It would be a just recognition of Mr. Al len's abilities, his services to the party and faithfulness as a prosecuting at torney. Duplin demands that Mr. Al len be given the nomination, and if asked for her reasons she will point to twenty years of devotion and fidelity to party interests: twenty years spent in honoring the sons of others and now that the time has come for action, she expects to demand that which is hejs. Those who are interested will take notice and govern themselves accord ingly. Commencement exercises of the Warsaw Iligh School, Thursday, May 20, 188G. The school is composed of good material and those who attend mav expect a treat. We will ive the particulars relative to the commence ment in a future issue. The Messrs. Kennedy will be pleased to see you at their commencement. Guests at the "Maltbv Housp."
