A jevised list of the American m.suion u-is slain by the Boxers gives the names of 44 adults and IX) children. For the crime of these murders China is respon sible, aid it is a terrible debt th .it the empire should be called oa to lw uidate. But there is not Rood evidence that this govern ric nt has prepared to exact due r'ara'ion. No money indem nity will be sufficient to heal the br.-.Uou hearts of the relatives in t fiic nds of the dead, and of course the government will not cow such indelicacy as to turn Uio indemnity money to such iioew.

Bills Piling Up-Some of Most General Interest. Tho rionoral AsKnmhlv has started in with vigor and bills are piling up. The most striking are bills to amend the constitution with ref erence to the school tax. They look to a provision to apportion the taxes to the races more in accordance with the amounts paid by each. Mr. Wright, of Rowan, intro duced a bill Thursday to regu late labor In textile factories. Mr. Craige, of Buncombe, would increase the number of judges and judicial districts. Mr. Wrieht would have courts supplied with a stenographer. Mr. Blount ol Washington wants legalized primaries. Mr. Wright moves to have compulsory education.

The Charlotte Poultry Asso ciation will open Its fourth an nual show next Tuesday morn ing. This exhibition will exceed in numbers and variety all of the former shows, not only in poul try, but also in pigeons, pheas ants, canarios, parrots and pet stock of all kinds. Wednesday night, the 16th, the fanciers from all over North Carolina will organize the North Carolina Poultry Association, which will embrace the entire State. North Carolina, while raising and shipping many thousands of chickens, has never had a Stato association, though there are two local organizations, at Shelby and Charlotte. Poultry raising has been given such an impetus from these that now the fanciers see their way clear to form the State associa tion, and all raisers of poultry, men and women, are asked to attend, and expected, at this meeting.

J. W. WOODBURN, Salesman, A Great Marrel. This industrial development of the South is a most captivating theme. 'The world wondered when, in 1871, the conquered people of Prance, less than 87, 000,000 in number, put their hands in their pockets ana paia on call $1,000,000 in war indem nity to Germany. A far greater marvel is it that the vanquished and impoverish ed 5,000,000 whites in the South in 1865, with practically no in dustry save the raising of cotton with slave labor, having tender ed to the torch and the sword $3,000,000,000 of their property, contributing annually since then more than $30,000,000 in the form of pensions for their former foes, have somehow achieved in a third of a century a complete revolution in their industrial sys tem; have practically trebled their cotton crop, added to it a score of new ones that a kindly soil and climate permit.and have supplemented these with mining and a variety of manufactures which, all together, are piling up wealth and Increasing popu lation with a rapidity that was not even dreamed of when the new South's present captains of industry were boys, and that challenges admiration every where. The "South has clone this, too, be it remomberd, with meanwhile a burden on her back as no other people in the world bears today the problom of carrying within her body politic two distint races nearly equal in numbers. New York Commer cial. Stubborn FigUtinR Yet- Gen. Kitchener sends the fol lowing official account of late ac tivity by the Boers: "Pretoria, Wednesday, Jan. 9. On the night of January 7th the Boers made a simultaneous and determined at tack upon all of our posts at Bel fast, Wonderfontein, Nooitgel dacht and Wildfontein. An in tense fog prevailed and taking advantage of the cover it afford ed, the Boers were able to creep up close to our position. A heavy fire continued until 3:40 a. m., when the Boers were driven off. One officer was killed and three were wounded, while 20 men were killed and 59 wounded. The loss of the Boers was heavy, 24 dead being counted. 4 'A convoy taking supplies to Gordon's Brigade, north of Kru gersdorp, was attacked by Bey er's commando yesterday (Thurs day). The Boers were driven off, leaving 11 dead on the field. Our casualties were four sslightly wounded." Smallpox Again. Smallpox has again made its appearance in Alamance county. About 2 o'clock Saturday. Dr. York of Mebane, reported that Stanford Torian colored, living about one and a half miles west of that place, was afflicted with smallpox. The people of Meb ane at once ordered a strict quarantine, and by 12 o'clock yesterday county physician Fau cett had thoroughly disinfected the premises and provided a way to take the patient to the pest house, and his family to the house of detention. Torian thinks he contracted the dread disease by wearing an overcoat I that he purchased in a pawnshop . f f m v in ureensooro. uranam irio une.

Condeusce for Bui.y Readers-Many Claims On State But a Depleted Treas ury. Governor Russell begins his message by referring to events in Africa and Asia, together with the protective tariff, stimulating homo industry; the extension of American territory, opening up demands for our products; con fidence in our national currency and cotton manufacturing in our State, beyond the dreams of thoughtful men of the past, all of which combine to make our condition more encouraging than those confronting former legislatures- He says our popula tion has grown to nearly 2,000, 000 and our wealth is nearly what it was before the destruc tion by the Civil war. He says meridian monuments have been placed in every county in the State accessible to all sur veyors. Dunn?: the last two years he says ijtf.oOi'.OOO of capital has been in'-oslod ;.J develop ment or our t.r.'oer and mineral resources, largely duo to the geological survey. lie commends the work of the State Agricultural Society. lie thinks tho last fair the greatest exhibit we over had and recommeuds liberal considera tions by the legislature. He notes the gratifying in crease in the uumbor of students at tho University as well as that bequests and donations have given the institution within the last four years .16,000 worth of new buildings and $20,000 in money. Yet the teaching force is inadequate and there is a de ficit iu finances. lie recom mends liboral aid. ' The State Normal and its great epidemic of fever is touched upon and he would be glad to see the now prosperous institu tion enlarged to meet tho de mands upon it. The Agricultural and Mechan ical College he says has a larger attendance than ever before and he thinks no institution in the State is accomplishing more. The colored A. & M. College calls for continued care and aid from the body. The Governor refers to the great lack of room in our char ity institutions and deplores as shocking and a stain on our civ ilization that the insane must of ten be confined in loathsome and unsanitary jails. The Governor pleads strongly for a reformatory for youthful criminals. He thinks that even in the depleted condition of the treasury it wonH bo economy. Ho says thai from tt to 80 per cent, of youlhi'ul criminals are revlnimou by r'-f'nii;itories oI.sq whore a.xl the same cui be done here. Ho will famish tho legisla ture the list of pardons granted and the reasons therefor. Ho urfes moro impropriations for the Soldiers' Home. The Governor is dead against the criminal iusane in the peni tentiary. Ho thinks tho estab lishment thoro a griovous mis take and an injustice to them. He notes that the report of the superintendent of tho peniten tiary indicates that that institu tion will probably be self sus taining heroafter. He speaks highly of tho State troops for efiiciont service and gays North Carolina is far behind her sister Slates in a liberal sup port of her State guard. He notes the good work of tho State board of health and hopes the legislature will make liberal appropriations for its continu ance. The Governor rehearses at considerable length his great lo-1 gal battles witli the railroad and telegraph companios, admitting much expense connected there with, but justifies the course taken and says counsel fees wore reasonable. As to State taxation he lays the problem before the legisla ture to devise methods of cre ating uniformity in the valua tion of property. The expenditures have been above the receipts. In 1899 the receipts were $1,545,717.09 and tho expenditures were $1,600, 033.80, showing a deficit of $54, 315.C1. The receipts in 1900 were f 1,610,003.91 and tho dis bursements were $1,647,824 99, showing a deficit of $29,821.08. Certain bonds were legally sold, however, amounting to $148,000, which would make the real de ficit for the year $177,000. He says if the insane are to bo properly cared for, re-, formatories established, our common schools enlarged and our Slate institutions are to be sustained, the General Assembly must find some new sources of income. He hopes for some as the outcome of the railroad litigation. Uniform valuation of property for taxation will add much and an increase of tax may be resorted to, or selling certain assets, or issuing State bonds The most valuable property of the State ho says is its interest in the North Carolina railroad. The Governor calls attention to certain complications with re gard to stock iu tho North Caro lina railroad as it was given as collateral security for bonds is sued for the construction of the Western North Carolina rail road. Certain bondholders hold that they have legal claim on these as securities on second mortgages. Tho Governor calls attention to tho fact and advises that these complications be re moved if it is desired to soil the shares of the road to secure the enterprises desired in the State. The Atlantic and North Caro lina railroad has not been pay ing any dividends and the stock is worth only 25 conts on the dollar, but "this would bring $3000,000 if desired to sell. The Govoriior refers to the el egant mansion with its grounds beautified by Mr. George Van dorbilt, but calls attontion to the fact that to live in this house and in the style contemplated is im possible on a $3,000 salary. He recommends an increase in the Governor's salary. Tho Governor closes with ref erence to a code commission, an increase of superior courts, etc., and an improved election law. Deserve Punishment. It is learned here that last week two revenue officers from Virginiacame into Surreycounty; they vent to a distillery, saw a man some distance away, fired upon him instantly killing him. It wes afterward learned that the man had nothing whatever to do with the distillery. The dead man's name was Snow, and he was a brother of Press Snow, one of the best citizens of that county. Tho officers will no doubt go free, but they ought to bo hung. Wilkosboro Chronicle.
