Public Examination in Dunn, Having heard so much com plaint about the examinations Dr. Black was giving, I natur ally looked for antiquated puz zles and obsolete questions, but not so. The examination was practi cally, up-to-date, and free from catch questions ; and very clev erly covered the branches re quired. The public school was not created for the individual. There are thousands of boys and girls in the State, who get no 'schooling except as the State lias made provisions. . Why not have as thorough and compe tent teachers in our public schools as other institutions. Many are teaching or keeping in the public schools as a mere supplement. This should not be. What kind of a1 doctor, dentist, lawyer, or any other profession al man, engaged for only two and a half or, three months in the year would you judge him to be? Ones whole time must be de voted to the work he is enlaced in, if he would be successful in his work. The examinations are not too rigid. True they ought to be made practical and cover the entire requirements. Study your profession. Love your profession, and then you can put life in your school, and your labors will be justly re warded by the blessing you will render to your state and to hu manity. J. D. Ezzell. NOTICE. I am last and the smallest but I must be heard. While you are paying your state and county tax you must not forget -your town tax. All parties who do not pay their town tax by January the first, 1900 will have to pay costs. Please pav in December. Respectfully, V . II. Duncan, Ia Captor, Things in . Wake And Harnett. The editor of The Common wealth has just taken a few days' ru-n through Wake &nd Harriett counties, leaving on 6th and returning on 12th. We found in those counties that, as in Eastern Carolina, people generally are" in better spirits than for a few years past. There, as here, the crop yield was a little short this year, but the better price of cotton has so well made up for it there is apparently general content ment and a hopeful prospect for the new year. The two railroad's that have recently been built through Wake and Harnett are opening up one of the best sections of that part of the State. The Cape Fear and Northern road running for the present from Apex, in" Wake, to Angier, in Harnett, will probably be ex tended to Lillington, the coun ty seat of Harnett, and then on to Fayette ville. The Mills road running from Raleigh to Fu quay's Springs will probably penetrate another section of Elarnett farther up the Cape Fear river ; and these new roads will soon be a means of greatly developing that region. The Mills road from Raleigh has not yet crossed the Wake line, but there is a fine section of Harnett, well timbered, wait ing for its coming. One very nattering feature connected with the development of Harnett especially, is the growing interest in education. Twenty-five years ago, the num ber of young men and young women who had gone to college or high schools since the war was small. Now, in everv commu uity there is a good number of young men and young women who have either been to college or some high school. This is serving to stimulate khe spirit of education withe those who have remained at home ; , and in many places these same young men and young women have returned from college and the high school and are conducting first-class schools at their homes. And within a very few years all this will prove quite an uplifting influence for busi ness, agriculture, society and religion. To mention names would be invidious, for we cannot enu merate all who are engaged in this good work , but it was in deed pleasant to spend a few days wandering again over the fields and hills which were the scenes of happy childhood, and to shake hands with the play mates of those old days now no 16nger playmates, but grown into strong and sturdy man hood taking their places in the ranks of those who are making North Carolina one of the great est states in our great common wealth of states. For down-right honesty, te nacity to truth, respect for what they conceive to be right, we believe we would place the peo ple of Harnett in the front rank with any Jpeople we have ever known. Harnett is destined in the near future to- show a devel- VJ IJ ILL C 11 U CI 1-1 V-L OUtCl UllOO 1llClU Hill ; , 1 . i i ! are to participate in it. The 'above is taken from the Commonwealth of last issue, published at Scotland Neck, the editor of which is a native of Harnett county, a gentleman that we are glad to claim as a production of Harnett. He posseses rare ability as a news paper man, and is making him self useful in life to a great host by the weekly issue of one of the best weekly newspapers in the State. In behalf of the good people of Harnett The Union wishes to thank 'him for the high compliment bestowed upon them, and we will add that in all our dealings with ttrem we -nave never iouna a more honest and worthv. people.

COUNTIES State Treasurer Worth yester day instituted suit against two sheriffs for failure to settle their taxes with the State for 1898, as provided by law. . - The sheriffs who are thus in arrears and against whose bonds suit is brought are : J.

Bryon Sturgill, of Ashe coun ty, whose State taxes for 1898 amounted $3,691.16. He has paid $1,691.16, but still owes $2,000. Judgment was yesterday ta ken against .these officials be-, fore the clerk of Wake Superior court, and a transcript of it sent to the counties in which thesher iffs reside. An execution will fol io w , and collection of the amounts due will be pushed at once. Suit is brought, not only for the whole amount "of taxes col lected by each sheriff and due the State, but likewise for the $1,000 penalty prescribed in such cases for failure of a sher iff to settle his taxes within the time prescribed ; also for the ten per centum of the total amount oi tax, as allowed in such cases by law. This ten per cent, will in each case amount to some $200 to $300 The sureties on the Harnett sheriff's bond are John R. Strickland, James H. Holmes, Nathan McLamb', and J. J. Wil son. The amount sued for on this bond is $4,000. On the bond of the Ashe coun ty sheriff are C . F. Seagraves, A. Clark, H. Weaver, W. B. Carson and T. N. Blebins.

Two counterfeiters were tried in the Federal court here yes terday convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary- one for one year and one for three years. The one year man, is a young man named Pearl Norris. The man who gets three years is T. B. Farrish, a man with a fam ilv. Both cases were sent up from Harnett county. Parrish was a blacksmith in Dunn, Harnett county, doing a general repair business. Nor ris came along, and being a handy sort of boy was hired by Parrish to assist him about the shop. This relation had continued for sometime when, one day Norris, rummaging in the loft of the shop, came upon some copper molds. Not knowing exactly 'what they were he took them to Parrish to inquire Parrish took them and laying them upon the anvil broke them up, explaining to Norris that they had been made by some body for the purpose of counter feiting ; and that if he ever told what lie (Norris) had found it would get him (Parrish) into serious trouble.; So nothing.. further was said about the matter for some months. -But one day Norris came across another set of moulds. These also he took to Parrish, and Parrish -acknowledged' the use to which he 'had been putting them. Then he took Norris into his confidence ; told him he,, assisted by a man who is now in the penitentiary, had been making spurious coin, and asked the boy if he didn't think he also could make coun terfeit money. ' The boy "replied that he thought he could, and so they set about'it. Thev made nick els principally, but a few dol lar pieces were also turned out miserable imitations, all of them, and composed of babbit metal. Two kinds of moulds were used one made of the babbit metal and one made by placing a nickle between two red-hot pieces of copper and striking them with a hammer. As the spurious coin began to get into circulation Detective Perry appeared in the guise of a , counterfeiter, ylle had not been in the community long be fore he made a friend of Norris and one day, in a confidential mood, he told the boy he was a counterfeiter, and added that if he could get somebody to make him some good counterfeit dol lars he would give $2 in good money for every $3 of the coun terfeit. He had $800 he want ed to invest in this way. Norris told him he could make nickels for hinr alright enough, but he knew nothing about the'dollar business. He suggested to Perry the advisa bility of seeing Parrish about that. Perry saw Parrish, but Par rish suspected Perry's real pur pose and pretended to know nothing. He also warned Nor ris. But it was to late. With in a f--.;w -day's 'the oilicers all they wan tea to know. know The links m the chain of evidence were complete. Parrish Norris were arrested.
