TAX LISTINU.
The responsibility and difficulties at
tending the duties of tho tax listers is
much greater than is generally supposed.
The assessors this year have an unusu
ally difficult and laborious task owing to
the duty imposed on tlieiu of carrying
pnto effect the resolution of the Board
pf Commissioners that the valuation of
real estate be raised ou its present val
uation To effectually carry out this
resolution requires the exercise of much
consideration for while some lands have
increased in value owing to having be-ui
improved of late years, there aro instan
ces wll ere some riuus tm»o ••tu.iijv
tcrioraied in value.
Mr. 11. Boston Wallace reports thai
the farmers of Crab Orchard township
■re troubled with tbe Hessian fly, or
phlnch bug, and that the fly is eating
op the wheat and creating havoc with
every thing that is green.—Charlotte
C'A rqaicle.
But 'lie Ilessiau fly and tho cLinch
bug arc entirely different insects. The
Ilessiau fly lavs its eggs in the longitu
diual creases of the leaves of the wheat
soon after the plants are abovij ground,
»Qi the small footless maggots when
hatched crawl down the leaf and fix
themselves between it and the main
stalk, being nourished by the juices 01
{ho plant which they obtain by suction.
Tbe chinch bug is an utterly distir.ct

"A certain religious paper in the
South was sinking at North Carolina
dailies by saying that there was not. "a
first class daily" in the State. Well
comparatively there is not. It costs
pevera l hundred thousand dollars annu
ally to print and circulate a "firsl-v lass
daily." The New York Tim 3, the
Chicago Inler-Oceun, tlio Boston Globe,
the Louisville Courier Journal an
"first-class dailies." What would be
come of one of these great papers if pub
lished in North Carolina' The total
annual income would not ruu either of
them for uiu truck. All-North Caroli
na cannot support a first-class paper of
any kind."—Wilmington Star
What is ordinarily denominated "a
first class daily" can be ouly produced
at a vory heavy outlay. It must have
a very large subscription backed by -jo
imposing advertising patronago which it
is only possible to secure in the popu
lous, wcaKby commercial centers In
nothing arc the uninitiated more unrea
sonable than as regards a newspaper.
Tho Reporter , for example, has been
improved to about the fullest degree in
our judgment that its patronage war
rants It is allowed to be one of the
bost written papers of the State, yet
there aro some of it? subscribers so un
reasonable as to express ilic wish that
it might bo made "a good paper." Now
tbese individuals do not consider that if
tho paper was enlarged aud improved at
an aunnal expenditure of several hun
dred dollars more than it now costs, the
subscription list would not likely bo
increased by the na'.es of fifty new sub
scribers.
