STATE NEWS.
(ireensboro Workman: The Pear
son meeting was well attended thi3
morning. Many of our business
houses closed their doors in order
that their clerks might attend. The
people seem greatly interested and
no doubt great good will be accom
Klished during Mr. Pearson's stay
ere.
Charlotte Chronicle: Kerr Craige,
Collector of Internal Revenue of the
Fifth District of North Carolina,
sent ia his resignation yesterday
morning. Mr. Craige said that he
resigned because he did not desire
to bold an office under the Repub
lican administration, and he did not
wish the administration to labor
under the delusion that he was de
sirous of retaining his position.
. ttoldsboro Argun: The "Shoo
Fly" train on the W. & W. Road
noV takes mail from this postoffice
in bulk direct for Wilmington, but
takes none for way distribution, and
brings mail in bulk for this place
from Wilmington in the evening.
This will prove of great convenience
to onr citizens, as thev can have
mail communication with Wilming-,
ton in the morning and get a reply
in the evening.
Charlotte News: The barn of Mr.
Gheorge S.Hall, on the Concord road,
one mile from town, was burned to
the ground at 10 10:30 o'clock Satur
day night. The barn contained a
good deal of forage, all of which was
consumed. Mr. Hall's barn was in
sured, but not fully. He will lose
200 by the fire. The barn was built
of historic timbers, and was former,
lyoneof the lankraarks of Char
lotte. It stood on Tryon street,
next to Springs' corner, and was
known as Cornwallis' headquarters.
Three years ago it was moved to
make room for a handsome brick
building. Mr. Hall bought and
moved it to his farm, where it was
rfcri into a barn. That the
house was occupied by Lord Corn
wallis during his stav in Charlotte,
is a well authenticated fact. When
it was being removed a number of
continental buttons, coins, old bay
onets and the like were found in
rubbish, and they were gobbled up
by. relic seekers.
"O. K."
The origin of the expression "It is
all O. K." is thus told. An ignorant
official endorsed eacli account that
he audited and found correct O. K.
meaning to intimate that the bill
was all correct, or as he pronounced
and spelt it. Oil Krect Whatever
the origin, the expression is used in
a variety of connections, as for in
stance, when Robeson told Tomp
kins that his wife's health had been
O. K. ever since she used a few bot
ties of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. Itis the great cure for all
the painful and distressing ailments
and weaknesses peculiar to women.
It is the only guaranteed cure for
these ailments, sold by druggists.

The Wr of the Knge.
It was a beautiful scene at the
City ilail last night, at the enter
taiument of the "War of the Roses"'
given by the Ladies' Lecture Room
Society of the First Baptist Church.
The Red rose was represented by
Miss Edelweiss French and the
White by Miss Annie McQueen; the
one receiving the most flags of her
color being judged the most popu
lar young lady. The contest was so
spirited that it was decided not to
close the polls till to night.
The hall was beautifully decorated
and the merry face of every one in
dicated most plainly the general
satisfaction.
The Postoffice booth was presided
over by Mrs. Fannie Hayes and Mr.
J. 8. Mitchell; the Milk snake booth"
by Miss (reorgie Gore, assisted by
Masters Myers and Southerland; the
Confectionery booth by Miss Loala
Shelly and Miss Mattie Freeman;
precedent established by the Board,
was fecei ved. f
Mr. Kenan moved, and the Board
ordered, that the Mayor's attention
be called to the record in this mat
ter and bill of Mr. Newman, jthe
former assistant chief of the Fire
Department, showing that this Board
established no precedent for an al
Iowa nee to the assistant chief for
uniform, but for expenses already
incurred by him, and which allow
ance was recommended by.the Board
of Aldermen.
Bil of Dr. W. J. H. Bellamv for
$50 for medical and surgical attend
ance oh Zach Hussev, of the street
force, was disapproved, on the
ground that the citv contributed
$1,000 per annum for the support of
the City Hospital, as weil as paying
a physician $600 per annum; the
Board being perfectly willing to con
tribute and having contributed to
the man's necessities, but consider
ing that for such cases medical and
surgical attention and the services
of nurses, medicines, etc., are pro
vided and paid for.
A communication from the Board
of Aldermen in regard to the tax
levy for 1889 was received. The tax
levy as submitted was concurred in,
with recommendation as follows:
That for the payment of interest
on debts contracted prior to the year
1868, the levy be 75 cents instead of
73 cents on the $100 valuation; and
for the Sinking Fund three cents in
stead of five on the $100 valuation.
That to sub section 63 of the Tax
Ordinance (marble yards) stone
yards be added. Also, that a levy
be provided for street railroads,
mercantile agencies and mattress
factories. Also, that the tax on
bar rooms be fifty dollars per month
instead of eleven dollars as at pre
sent. Also, that the tax on whole
sale dealers be $75 per month in
stead of $22, as at present Also,
the tax on liquor dealers selling! in
quantities less than one quart nor
more than five gallons, be $50,1 in
lieu of $11 as at present; the pro
viso that any person selling under
this license who also pays as a bar
keeper, shall pay only $5.50 per
month additional, was made 25.
In reference to the tax on livery
stables. Mr. Calder moved that be
fore the Board agree to the reduc
tion of the tax on livery stables that
the attention of the Board of Alijler.
men be called to the improper usi1 of
the streets by such livery stables, as
well as carriage shops, obstructing
antl disfiguring thepublic thorough
fares by carts and other vehicles
when not in use. Adopted.
Bills were audited and approved
as follows: Current expenses, $174.
