THIS IS OUR KICK. We do not like to kick about anything and we are not a con stitutional kicker, but there is at least a very undesirable condi tion on our streets, Our new sidewalks are clearly a nuisance in some respects. When going on, we gave it little thought sup posing that those at the helm knew how to turn the wheel, and the ill-grounded hatred of the engineer made it futile to at tempt any modifications. Now we have a condition that at many parts a delicate person cannot go from one sidewalk to another without going to certain points of crossing, and there one, who walks the pavement, must be on the lookout at the risk of break ing his bones. It seems, too, that we are to pass through the winter with this condition. It is simply unbearable. The point near Mr. G W Brown's stand has a step up or down of the most flagrant vio lation of hygienic laws for the delicate sex. Beside who wants in the absence of street lights as Monday night, when it was dark as Egypt, to check up and slide the feet and feel the way to the jumping off place? Then, too, the sidewalk in front of the court house yard which was sufliciently high be fore, is uncomfortably high to get octo from the streets and when you get on you are in red mud that is slicker than gravy when it rains. At several other points the stone border for the intended ce cement walks is a nuisance hor rible to endure all winter. Why not fill up enough to be equal to the common country foot path? Nothing but a prompt adjust ment of a number of these pres ent abominations can avert the wish that our sidewalks had been left as they were. A little more engineering skill and a good bit less of spite would 6erve a good purpose in running the town. While we are at the kicking process we want to kick some light into South Union street which has been in dense shad ows for weeks. We are loath to remove any of the ancient landmarks of us age, but we pay fearfully some times in not doing so. The in auguration of the president on the 4th of March is productive probably of more suffering than auy one day within the foui years. It is nearly always rough weather. Senator Hoar has in troduced a bill to make the last Wednesday in April the day for inaugurating the president and the date of expiration and beginning of the senatorial terms Why should we not make the change? The R?v. W II lliller preached morning and evening in St. James church Sunday. It is his first appearance here. Ilis dis courses wore both highly grati fying to his hearers. St. James church is vacant and desires one to come among them as a spirit ual shepherd. We trust that the Omuicient will guide and that it is his hand that shall place Mr. Ilillor in this field to the honor and glory of Ilim whodirocts all lhiugs. KRIIOB IS COUNTY STATEMENT. I Our attontion is directed to an error in the Supplement to The Standard last Friday, containing the financial statement of the county; The error will be found in the statement for June. It is near the last items on first page w here it says, "J C Ferguson, repair ing bridge approach, $111,43." It should read J C Ferguson etc. $5.00 and the next item which is omitted should read Yorke, Wadsworth & Co., hardware for roads $111-43. The error is not surprising when understood, The copy was crowded and the last word inclined down into the other line and ended at the fig uros $111.43. The eye of the type setter was led by it and of course took the next item below this line as the next to set. The typo, who was misled, held the copy as we read the proof and so was mislead again. Mr. Ferguson says it would uot have been so bad if it had been a reality instead of a mis take. While at it we wish to say that we have a fairly good number of these statements left and will be glad to distribute them to any citizen of the county wishing a copy. Call or drop us a postal and we will gladly send you a copy without cost. NORTH CAROLINA WEEK CHANGED. Tliis State Will Visit Charleston Expo position During Week Beginning April 7th. Governor Aycock on yester day notified the managers of the Charleston Exposition that the State authorities desire to change the date for North Carolina week at the exposition ftom January 2o-26 to the first week in April, beginning on the 7th. This change is desired for the reason that the exposition is so incom plete as yet that it cannot be gotten in full blast in time to have a -successful North Carolina week in January. The change is in compliance with a request from the Board of Agri culture, but the board had de sired that the date be fixed for some time in February. How ever, the council of State pre ferred the date selected April and the governor so ordered. Mr. T K Bruner will probably return to Charleston Monday to direct the work of arranging the North Carolina exhibit, which is as previously stated, further ad vanced than that of ar.y other State exhibit How to Core Cronp. Mr. R Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y., says; "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine I have ever used. It is a fine chil dren's remedy for croup and never fails to cure."

"I wish to 6ay that I feel 1 owe my life to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure," writes H C Chrestenson of Hayfield, Minn. "For three years I was troubled with dys pepsia so that I could hold noth ing on my stomach. Many times I would be unable to retain a morsel of food. Finally I was confined to my bed. Doctors said I could not live. I read one of your advertisements on Kodol Dyspepsia Cure and thought it fit my case and commenced its use. I began to improve from the first bottle. Now I am cured and recommend it to all." Di gests your food. Cures all stomach troubles. Gibson Drug Store. "A profit is not without honor." 1'LCNtiEI) 8i0 FEET INTO CAMOS. Slide rinchot Off Train and Saves Half. A Vancouver, B. C, dispatch of the 6th gives a most singular accident. At a short turn by a canyon 360 feet deep a slide had broken and covered the track. It was intensely dark when the freight train came along which headed straight into the fearful chasm. The engineer and tire man went in with the engine to certain destruction. Happily for the conductor and others in the cab, a slide came dowu just in J time to pinch the tram into and saved the rear half and them. "Piatt," by William Allen White. Here is a striking example of the way McClure's Magazine keeps up to the times. When Roosevelt was Governor of New York he was a thorn in Tom Piatt's side. As Mr. White puts it, "Platts machine has one immovable check an honest ex ecutive." So Piatt contriver to be rid of him by making him Vice-President. Now Roosevelt is President, and Piatt, to quote Mr. White again, "is passing from his kingdom and power." Head these two essays on Koos velt and Piatt, and you will learn why people all over the country are looking more and more to to William Allen White to teach them the commonsense truth about the public men of our own day that we want to learn the truth about. Two Killed in a Collision. Charleston, W. Va., Dec. 7.

ONDCCTOR PLCM LOSES A LEG. He Falls from the Train and His Left Leg is Crushed by One vf the (arson No. 80.

Morn ing Post of 8th. A Plain TaJJMtoTai Payert I have just completed my ronnda yia itirig each township to oolleot taxes aa the law directs, and in so doing, with tbe exception of No's. 6. 7 and 8 town- amp, I did not get a brownie. How I waut to sny right here that the taxes must be paid by January, 1st, and be sides it don't work n hardship on any one to pay their taxes in the fall. It Beemg that people have got it in their minds that they ean pay their taxes when it suits them, and in tact it has been thrown at me hundreds of times that some of the biggest tax payer don't psy till the last minute and they might aa well fceep their money as others. nnr f nvifl au i-tuhi hAVA thai if vnn 'are a tiitx payer or if you aie a small tax payer you will be expected to pay between now and January. The law, as it is nuw, requires me to make set tlement in January and if people will come in and settle with me I will have no trouble in settling with the Btate, I but evidently there must be a new leaf turned in regard to paying taxes in Ca barrus and unless there is a bie clianee 1 ex)eot to advertise and sell property the lirst of January. A groat many think suorinV om't sell leal estate be fore May, but I want to say right here w an suon tnat on and alter Ho v. 1st 1 j ean sell any property in the county for taxes Now a word to those who onlv pay a poll; Law 1U01, 0 89, See. 13, says that no person shall be entitled to vote unless he shall have paid his poll tax for the previous year on or before the first day o( May in the year In which he oilers to vote. Mow unless there is a great change on that line there are a great many that will be denied that privilego next year. Now lut me say in 11 can lor I don't want to make cost on any one and earnestly requost all persons to come np promptly nd pay yonr taxes and you will feel better and it will make me feel a great deal better and it will save a great deal of worry over my set tlement.
