With his visit to Conference this week Rev. T. J. Rogers fin ishes a four years' pastorate at Marion and Bridgewater. He has done faithful ministerial and pas toral work among his people. May joy and success in the Master's work come to hi-n wherever he may go, and bltssings of every kind attend him. We have this week a contribu lion from Mr. Sam Archer, whose writings are in high repute by the "reform" press of the country. Ours is a newspaper in the true sense for the proper and fair dis cussion of economic public themes, as well as for other purposes. A paper is an arena for exchange of views, to a certain degree, that we may arrive at the truth, for no one knows it all. About 700 head of cattle were shipped from Marion this week by Dr. M. V. Morphew, of this place, and Mr. Calvin Wood, of Mitchell county. This is an important point from which to ship live stock and products of this section. It is the railroad shipping point for most of Mitchell and a part of Yancey county. The larger part f this lot of cattle came from Mitchell county. The live stock shipping season begins about Nov. 15th and terminates in the spring. During this time, we are informed, about three carloads of live stock a month leave Marion for the mar kets of the world. Mr. A. J. Bailey was united in marriage to Mrs. Sallie White McAlliley, a young and beautiful w idow of Wellridge, S. C, on Nov. 10th, at the house of the bride's father, Hugh White. We were sorry that we could not answer the invitation by our presence. Mr. Bailey was reared in this county and is a brother of Miss Mattie Bailey and Mrs. J. A. Poteet. He is telegraph operater at Mur phy, N. C. A brother of his, Joe Bailey, has a like position at Hen dersonville, N. C, and is assisted by the youngest of the brothers, John. All of these McDowell boys, with Thadeus, who is night operater here, are doing well. So much for soberness, industry and other good virtues. The bridal couple passed through last Friday for Murphy, N. C. Kolie,rt FleiiimliiK -IfCM pes from Jail. The notorious liobort Flcmming, the penitentiary-deserving oilend er, if half the charges against him are true, escaped from the jail here on last Monday about (J p. m. Hlieritl' Nichols, who is the jailer, was in the Sheriff's office in the Court House at the time. Jim Fin ley, who helps the Sheriff about the jail, went up stairs to give the prisoners their supper. He unlocked the door at the end of the corridor or hall between the lour cells. All the prisoners were loose in their cells and about the corridor. The two cells on the left can be locked from the outside, but not the cells on the right. The left cells were locked before open ing the corridor door, supposably locking in the two prisoners, liobt. Hemming and Bob Gordon, both committed for larceny. But these two had hid behind the nearest cell door on the right, and imine ! lately on the entrance of Mr. Jim Fmley with their supper Gordon knocked him down. He hung to him and was dragged to the front door down stairs where he recovered himself ami pluckily forced Gordon to go back up stairs to the cell. In the nit antime, before Fin ley could shut the outside corridor door behind him Feininiiig leaped out and down the stairs, knocking the cook clear down the steps, then running through the kitchen and back yard and over the hog pen, frightening the big fat pork ers, and out to liberty with a mad, wild rush. The other prisoners, some eight or ten in number, did not escape. A most strenuous effort is being made by the Sheriff to recapture the much-wanted Flem ming. See the sheriff's reward of ?o()in another column for his capture. Flemming is also charged with burning the house of 1. N. Cox, Kso.., in Turkey Cove, besides other crimes. Our New Citizen. Marion's new merchant comes among us highly recommended as will be seeu by the following excerpts from papers published at his former home : Mr. John YV. Kirby, of this place, has decided to move to Marion, C where he will take charge of a large hardware store for Wadkius. Cottrell & Co., of Kiclimond. Wo are loath to give up such a good and worthy citizen. We wish him success. Lenoir Yh itur. Mr J. W. Kirbv left ytsterday evening for Marion. N. C, where he will open a hardware store. Marion, it seems, would be a good point for such a business, and as Mr Kublv has had considerable experience in that line, we hope he will succeed. Lenoir lopic. Two Milium Year.

Atkins was on our streets last week. Mrs. John Young, jr., is on a visit to Lancolnton.' Mrs. Wm. McCall, of North Cove, is visiting relatives in town this week. Mr. H. M. Quinn, of Philadel- phia. is a guest of Col. and Mrs. J. c iiorton. Mr. S. A. Weber, of Lancaster, S. C, was at the Flemming-Eagle last Tuesday. Mr. J. H. Gouge moved his stock of goods and his family to Bakers ville this week. Rev. Sam Jones was at the hotel last Tuesday, on his way to Hen rietta to lecture. Mrs. J. S. Dysart and Mrs. Chas. Medd made a flying trip to Latti more Thursday. Attorneys James B. Morris and K. J. Justice, of Marion attended court in Rutherfordton last week. Mr. J. G. Hall, general fire and life insurance agent of Hickory, N. C, was up on business this week. Mr. John Cheek came home last week for a few days' rest. He is employed as express messenger on the Southern Railway. Mr. J. W. Kirby and family will occupy the Yancey house at the north end of Main street when E. J. Justice, Esq., moves to his new dwelling. Presiding Elder J. W. Jones preached in the Methodist church on last Sabbath, leaving for Ashe ville Monday to attend the annual Conference. Mrs. E. L. Gaston returned from Columbia, S. C-, her old home, this week. She visited the ever interesting State Fair of South Carolina held in Columbia. At the Flemming Eagle were Chas. Lloyd, Philadelphia; J. T. Steiner, Nashville; I Cohn, J. A. Dean, Baltimore; J. W. Jones, Atlanta, and C. Tronneberger, of Shelby, on Sunday. Rev. C. A. Munroe left Tuesday for his home in Lenoir. During the five days he was here he preached most practical, sound and effective sermons. His many friends were much pleased to have him among them again. Mr. J. W. Count, the most effi cient and experienced editor of the Morganton Herald, and with whom we are associated on the Messenger paid us a visit on last Saturday, becoming acquainted with our place and people. Mr. J. B. Swindell returned on Wednesday from a few days stay down the line of the O. R. & C. Railroad, going as far as Camden, S. C. His object was to adjust the time-pieces, especially watches, along the line, holding the position of adjuster of pieces. Kd urate Your ltowels With Caocarets.

Goodson spent Mon day at Black Mountain visiting her brother, Mr. A. M. Dula. Mayor Goodson put in a day in Asheville this week, returning with a very neat suit of new clothes. Rev. Albert Sherrill, once pastor of the Methodist church here, spent Monday in our town renew ing former acquaintances, and receiving a hearty welcome from many warm friends who are pleased to see him looking so well. Mr. S. was on his way to confer ence at Asheville. Quite a lot of moving in town last week. Mrs. Zeb Crawford moved into her new house in the northern section of town, Mrs. Owens taking the house vacated by her on Main street, and Mrs. Clinton Yandlin moving into the house made vacant by Mrs. Owen's removal. Mrs. A. J. Dula gave this after noon a beautiful "Tea" to a select party of lady friends, thus begin ning a series of teas such as were so much enjoyed by society last winter. Large fires are raging in the mountains west and north of us, reaching in some cases quite near the town boundary, and in parts farmers are kept busy fighting the flames. It is seldom that one hears any thing good of the railroads, it being the fashion rather to con demn than praise, that I think it right to mention the following instance of what may well be termed "rapid transit." A gentle man needing some oil delivered to the town agent of the Southern here, Mr. L. T. Long, two cans for Richmond, Va., on Friday morn ing, to be sent by freight, filled, and returned, and on Monday even ing they were here, having made the round trip in four days, Sun day included. This goes to show that the much abused Southern is run in a business manner, and quite as frequently deserves praise as censure. It seems almost certain that Old Fort is to have, in the near future, a shoe factory, Mr. J. J. Allred, of High Point, having purchased two pieces of land from Mrs. D. C. Sals bury, on one of which, an acre in extent, I hear he proposes to erect at an early date a building for the manufacture of shoes and perhaps other articles from leather. A hearty welcome is extended to all such enterprises and their promo ters, and I hope this may be but the forerunner of the many such concerns for which our town is so well situated. We are again having very dry weather with much wind and a spring-like temperatare. Nov. 17, 1S97. Sidney. A Sure Thing for You. A transaction in which vou cannot lose is a sure thing.

There is a reason for it somewhere. We may be able to correct it if we can only see where and what it is. There have been a great many political plans tried and proposed to make times better. Neighbors, suppose we take up these plans, one by one and investi gate them in our minds without predjudice, and see whether we ran learn what is wrong and what is right. The avowed purpose of a high protective tariff is to furnish gov ernment revenue, also to keep up the price of manufactured products so as to pay the manufacturer rea sonable interest and profit for his invested money and also to pay the workers engaged in such pro duction a good living price for their skilled labor. This is the pol icy under which we are living now. Since its last adoption by the peo ple and so far as we have yet gone I do not believe that fair-minded people can attribute the improved price on some things, mainly wheat to the protective tariff. Higher wheat is caused by foreign demand, and some other things will brighten up in sympathy. But the question is, are the great mass of consumers in our country any more able to buy clothing and food today than they were at Thanksgiving time a year ago? Can they pay their taxes any eas ier than a year ago? I appeal to every reader to answer yourself, truthfully, yes or no. Let us go a little deeper into this matter because it is important. Suppose the present tariff would raise the price of all manufactured articles fifty per cent. This indeed would help the manufacturers by giving good interest on invested money and good round profits, and would increase the skilled workman's wages perhaps twenty five per cent. Now what would be the situation so far? It is that great profits have gone to the use of money and a small increase to the use of skilled labor. These two classes constitute but a small part of our great population. But it is claimed that these classes "will distribute largely to agricultural producers for food and for mate rial." There is no doubt that a very large portion of the popula tion would be somewhat benefited by this, if a fifty per cent, increase could be maintained. Let us see. Who must finally pay this fifty per cent.? Every sensible man knows that they who consume the products at last must pay this fifty per cent. Where will they get the money to pay it? They can not get it from the system itself because as we have seen, a large part of the fifty per cent, goes to the manu facturers for the use of the capital and some small part to skilled labor and a still smaller part to general producers, while a very large per cent, of the poor working people do not get a single nickle of it. What is then the effect of this system on all the people? Is it not to make the rich more rich and the poor more poor? Come, now, answer, honor bright, is this not what has been going on for thirty years, more or less? I must admit this, but I want to give the system all the credit it deserves and it deserves much because the hard times we have should not be so much attributed to it. There are other very serious causes that have prevented the peo ple from having money to pay good prices for things they need. High protection is all right, pro vided the great mass of industrial people and the poor are protected, but we must not protect to the rich man three dollars and the poor man one dollar. That will as surely bring hard times as that night fol lows the day. But we must go fur ther and look for more causes. Next week I will come again, by your leave, and look a little at interest-bearing bonds, and the single gold standard, and we wish every one interested to preserve the paper because I propose to let no guilty cure-all principle escape and may refer to past chapters before closing the investigation. Of course it is well known that I am a straight Populist in princi ple, but believe I can give all par ties a fair show in these investiga tions of principles, especially when there is no campaign on hand.

After a long period as a reader and silent admirer of The Messen ger, its correspondent from this locality again resumes his pen and asks to be numbered as one of the contributors to its interesting col umns, wishing our good paper unbounded success. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McCall are visiting in Marion this week. Miss Minnie Grant, of Old Fort, is spending the winter with her aunt here. We are glad to recog nise Miss Minnie among us. She possesses a bright, smiling face. We are glad to state that Mr. W. J. English, wh-j has been quite ill with typhoid fever, is much itr.pioved and hope to to see him out again soon. Messrs. John, Arthur and Edgar McCall were home on a short visit from school recently. Already we realize much improvement in the boys. This speaks well for their instructors and associates of the Marion Institute. After a stay of six months as teacher in Madison county, Miss Nannie McCall returns home accompanied by Miss Carrie Eng lish who has charge of our winter school here. Miss Carrie is a pleasant young woman who well merits the praise she receives. Miss Geneva Connelly leaves this week for Johnson City, Tenn., where she will visit her sister, Mrs. R. T. Carr and friends. Mr. R. W. Brown and son, Mas ter Ben, are visiting Garden City and Marion this week. The farmers seem to be enjoying to the greatest extent the beauti ful autumn.

SEC. 52 of the Revenue Act of 1897 is as follows: "That it shall be and it is hereby made the duty of the sheriff of each county in the State to make diligent inquiry and report to the judge at each term of the criminal court held in the county following the time when the license tax and taxes provided for in schedules A, B and C of this act should have been paid as to whether or not such license taxes and other taxes have been paid by all persons or corporations liable for the same, and to make out a list of all delinquents. And it shall lie made the duty of the judge to submit the list of the delinquents to the solic itor to the end that such delinquents may be prosecuted for such defalcation in the manner provided in the next sec tion of this act." It will be a painful and disagreeable duty to comply with this law, as it is clear from its provisions that all per sons who owe any tax whatever are required to be reported by me. Sched ule A is the provision for property and poll tax, schedule B for license tax, etc., and schedule C for railroads, etc. As this law is entirely new, being for the first time passed by the Legislature of 1897, 1 give below, for the informa tion of the public, the penalty imposed by law for failure to pay taxes. Sec. 53 of the Revenue Act of 1897 is as follows: '"That such person or corporations who are liable to pay the license tax oi taxes provided for in schedules A, B and C of this Act and the Machinery Act, and shall fail to pay the same as provided by law, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punished by a line not exceeding five hundred dollars or imprisoned not exceeding six months; and the sheriff shall be allowed by the judge such compensation for making such report as he may deem just and proper, to be paid by the county." While I feel like it will be a great surprise and a great hardship to indict some of the citizens of McDowell county for failure to pay their taxes, where they are really unable to pay, still the law is explicit and I cannot do less, as a faithful officer, than to comply with its plain provisions. All persons owing me taxes and who do not settle will be reported to the judge at the coming term of the criminal court, and from the above quoted provisions of the law, it will be seen what the result must be.
