We do not htre propose to write an obituary not ice o bis death, but simply to give a slight sketch of his life aid char acter as we knt w him, both as a citizen and a soldier He joined the armv as a vol unteer in Capt. Barra Lane's Company ii Mny. 1861, at Smithfield. Jim was a good soldier, and o. e of the best men at heart we ever knew though like other men, had his faults. He was a life long friend of the writer, and if there is one of the old company deserving a page from our hand, it is Monkey i Jim Le. In prison. Jim worked at the trade of ring making, and in payment for the same, would take tobacco and other traffic, and it was to him that we were , indebted for what of the weed we got while in this wretched place, and we promised our selves then and there, that should we be spared the boon of freedom once more, and Jim should need our assistance he should have it. All the boys in the old compa ny 1 ked Jim and many were the funny things gotten off at his expense. He was the only man in the Company at the close of the hrst year's service, to re enlist for during the war, and in recogni tion of this p triotic act, Capt. Lane gave him a pass down town, where he got too much whiskey, and thinking to please the officers and show his grit, tied a piece of red ribbon on his arm as a re-enlistment badge. On reaching camp, he walked uo to Bill Eldridgt and asked him if he knew, pointing to the rib bcn. "what that meant," Bill's answer was, "Yes, it mens a d fool." Whereupon Tim says: "B 11 Eldridge, I am no body but Jim Lee, but I am the axle tree of Co. "E" and I can lick you in a minute." Of course, Bill had to run. From this time henceforward he was also kio.vn as the "Axle tree of C . "E " Jim was a good mechanic, and somewhat of a machinist, and on this account was detailed and sent to the Arsenal at Fay etteville. N C. to make guns, but alter staying there about one vear, he came back to the company, saying that he did not volunteer to helpmakeguns. but to help kill yjnkees and meant to do his part, which he did. As we said in the outset, lira was a good man at heart, and we have often remarked, that if he owned the world, and we should be the 6rst man to meet him after he came in possession, we would be sure of a one-half interest. He died a few years back, from the effects of a hurt received while under the influence of whiskey, his greatest earthly enemy. Th' nme of Jas A. Lee will be kindly remembered by all the old Company, while there is one of us left on the shores of time. W. N. Rose, Tr. About Tax Collections. Spilona, N C . Dec. 27, 1898 Mr Editor: I see in your last issue an article from J. M. Beasley, Esq , in regard to Township Tax Collectors. That plan, I for one, am op posed to. It would increase the number of officers fifteen in our county. This would have a tendency to increase the curse that our country is now and has been groaning under for years office seeking. While I am perfectly willing for oar offi cers to have good pay for their service-, I am in fayor of having as few officers as will do to at tend to the business of the coun ty, and at the same time salaries considerably rrdncd We are paying too much unnecessary tax. Our cnnty is in good shape at this time. I think we had better let well enough alor.e Or at least had better try to re duce instead of increase the number of ' fficers. Respectfully. J. H Smith.

Harper's Bazar. Scared Out. A Cleveland doctor just re turned from New York brings homea,very good story about the nurses in one of the big hos pitals there. The other day the graduating class took it into their heads to start out and have a class pic ture taken in their uniforms. So in due time all was made ready and they departed, some twenty strong. In fact, there were so very many of them that when they climbed aboard a car to go down town there were seats for only about half to be found. They did not suit the yourg women a bit. They fussed and gabbled together for a minute and then suddenly one had a bright idea. There were a few knowing whispers, a giggle or two, and then one pretty blonde leaned far over and asked audi bly, "Oh, Mary, how is that smallpox case getting on that you took in this morning?" "Pretty well," answered Mary wisely, "only, of course, it came to us very late. It's in its worst stages. How is that scarlet fever case that you are tending?" By this time the other passen gers were all ago, and one fussy old man gave a gasp of horror and wildly signalling the con ductor, flopped out of the car. The other passengerssquirmed and looked unhappy. On flow ed the talk. Diphtheria, typhus fever, measles, smallpox, scarlet fever and chickenpox circulated freely through the car, news of various cases being handled back and forth till girls shook and strong men turned pale at the direul stories. Oae by one the passengers alighted. At last it was not one by one it was on a general and wholesale plan that made the innocent conductor stare and the naughty nurses giggle. At last their mission was ac complished the car was all their own. As each stray pas senger wandered in, he or she was iudustriou-dy scared out once more, and the nurses reign ed monarchs of all they survey ed during the whole of that down town trip Cleveland Plain Dealer. Glorious News Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of WTashita, I. T. He wiii.es: "Four bottles of Electric Bitters has cured Mrs. Brewer of scrofu la, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doc tors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent." This shows what thousands have proved, that Electric Bitters is the best blood purifier known. It's the su preme remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum, ulcers, boils and runnirg sore. It stimulates liver, kidneys and bowels, expels poisons, help digestion, bui'ds up the strength. Only 50 cents. Sold by Hood Bros, druggist. Giiai a u teed. I Hon. D F. Cald well, of Greens boro, died on Thursday night. Philippines on a String. Washington, Dec. 31. Gener al Greely, chief signal officer of the armv, has made arrange ments looking to the early cou nt etion of the four most im portant islands in the Philip pines, namely, Luzon. Masbate, Cehu and Leyte. This will re qnire nearly two hundred miles of deep sea cable. The dtvtlop ment of the cable industry in tne United States enables the signal office to carry out this plan without the long delay and increased expense, which would have been required had it been needful to consult foreign manufacturers for thi-purpose. The cable machinery will weigh over seven hundred tons, and for its transportation and lay ing a ship especially fitted up for cable work is necessary. It is expected that this ship will leave New York about Febru ary 1st, and proceed to Manila through the Suez canal. The different cables should be laid and in working order by the end of April. The Signal Corps has a short cable of eight miles now in operation in Manila bay. A competent officer of the Sig&al Corps, probably Colonel James Allen, will accompany the vessel and supervise the laying of the cable. The land lines in the Philip pines are nearly two thousand miles in length, and mainly situ ated on the islands above named. s soon as these lines are united into one system through cable connections the military admin istration of the islands will be conducted with a degree of effi ciency, rapidity and economy that is impossible under present conditions. Improvements at Santiago. Captain Brady, of the Signal Service, in charge of the milita ry telegraph operations in the east end of Cuba, with head quarters at Santiago, arrived here yesterday on leave, and made interesting reports . to General Greely on the progress of the work and the general conditions of affairs. Captain Brady says Santiago has under gone a complete transformation and is as clean, orderly and well regulated as many American cities of its size. Brigades of Cubans, most of them former Cuban soldiers, are at work daily laying pavements, and soon the city will have paved avenues of streets, instead of long stretches of mud and filth. There is no more rowdyism and noisy demonstration. Health conditions have improved, and when Cnptain Brady left there was not a case of yellow fever or smallpox in the city, a record almost without precedent. Telegraph lines have been com pleted, connecting Santiago with Guantanamo, and also, one hundred miles of line west of Santiago, on the way to Man zanillo. At Bayamo a loop wi'l be run northward to Holguin. With this completed, all the strategic points of Eastern Cu ba will be connected. The line to Holguin will be the first step to a most important line run ning lenglhwise of the island from Havana. Capt. Brady says he has em ployed Cubans, usually former Cuban soldiers, for the rough work of constiucting the lines, under an officer of the Signal Service, acd several Americans to direct the work. He says the Cubans are good workers and yield first class results as long as they have capable direc tion. The plan of employing Cubans is in line with the gener al policy of General Wood who proceeds on the theory that it is desirable to get arms out of the hands of the Cubans and get tools into their hands as fast as possible. A woman has brought suit in the Municipal Court of Boston to recover $300 damages from a baking company because, while passing along the street she "was struck by an egg, dropoed or thrown from the building of the defendant, and had her garments destroyed." She further alleges that the "egg was set in motion by the negli gence of the defendant's servants engaged in the discharge of its business." If Gloomy and Nervous, aud lookingon thedark sideof things take a few doses of Dr. M. A Simmons Liver Medicine and the gloom will disappear. A fritter of Diulty ..s Well as of Taste. It is to be feared that the "era of good feeliner." which has alieady witnesed a good deal of folly, will wind up with a good deal of ill feeling. The fraternal words of the President on the occasion of bis recent visit to the South sug gested t' a fellow who had more cnthus'asm than balance to pin a Confederate badge oa his coat a thing w hich he could not decline to allow done with out effering a rebuff which would have amounted to lh in suit, aDd yet a thing which must have caused him very considera ble embarrassment and have suggested to other donkeys or knaves the offering of resolu tions in Congress to open Fede ral soldiers' homes to ex- iontederate soldiers and to pension ex-Confederates. And now comes from the camp at Augusta, Ga., news of quite a disagreeable incident of Christmas day. A Maryland company had elaborate dec orations in the street and entwined the Federal and Con federate flags in its decorations. Major Phipps ordered the Con federate flag down and this made the men of the company so indignant that they tore down the whole decoration. Every true Southerner loves and reverences the Confederate flag and the Northern man who does not respect this sentiment towardjit deserves no consider ation in the South; at the same time the raising of it in a Federal camp is a manifest impropriety, which ought never to have been perpetrated, and which has caused friction in the camp and elsewhere, without any resulting benefit. The South can take care of its living soldiers and of the graves of its dead. It will also treasure its traditions and history and continue to honor the flag which lor four years floated over it as its very own ; but there is no need to obtrude it upon un friendly eyes and certainly no occasion to unfurl it within any camp of the Federal army. This is a matter of dignity as well as of taste. Charlotte Observer. Travelling Libraries. The work of the club women in Kentucky in instituting travelling libraries throughout that State is to be commended both for its directness and intel ligence. It is under the immedi ate supervision of a committee appointed for that purpose by the Kentucky State Federation of Women's Clubs. For the purpose of organization, the the State was divided into five club districts, one member of the committee being assigned to each, with instructions to secure the co-operation of the clubs of her district by personal solicita tion, correspondence, and through the medium of the press In this way a prompt and com plete canvass was made, and in a short time the collection of histories, biographies, poetry. wholesome fiction, volumes of Harper's and other magazines, and miscellaneous works was made. This collection was la belled, numbered, catalogued, and packed in strong wooden boxes, averaging fifty-five volumes to a box. The boxes are mode of heavy seasoned wood, and securely fastened with screws and locks, and on arrival are used as libraries. Duplicate catalogues are made ef the books in each, one copy fastened on the inside lid, and the other retained by the com mittee for reference. The stations designated to receive the books are wholly in the mountainous part of Kentucky. The boxes travel over the mountains by wagon or down the river by push-boats in April and October. They rest six months at a place. some reliable persons being found in each community willing to serve as librarian. Harper's Bazar. He Fooled The Surgeons.

The rights of this country in Panama are contained in a treaty which was negotiated with New Grenada in 1816, and which is still operative between this country and Colombia, the latter having succeeded to New Grenada in 1862. Under this treaty the United States have "the right of way or transit across the Isthmus of Panama upon aty modes of communica tion that now exist or that may heareafter be constructed." This right is guaranteed both to the government aud the citizens of Jtbis country, and there is a further guarantee as to tolls to be charged. In return for this, "the United States guarantee positively aud efficacious'y to New Grenada, by the present stipulation, the perfect neutral ity of the before mentioned isth mus . . . and, in consequence, the United States also guarantee, In the same manner, the rights of sovereignty and property which New Grenada has and possesses over the said territory." As we have already said, this treaty is still in force, and, so late as President Cleveland's first ad ministration, troops of the United States were landed on the isthmus, under its provisions, for the suppression of disorder and the protection of the prop erty of the Panama Railroad Company. The advantage which the United States have under this treaty is the joint control of the canal with New Grenada for purposes of com merce, it being stipulated that the charges and tolls imposed upon the one shall be no greater than those imposed upon the other. Harper's Weekly. A Business Truth. "You can't fill the bucket by one stroke of the pump handle." Many business men insert a small advertisement once or twice in a publication "as a trial," and then sit back and wait to see what becomes of it. Quite naturally, nothing or next to nothing comes of it. People who see your advertise ment once or twice are just beginning to take note of what you say, and, perhaps, to resolve to give your goods a trial. The next time they look over the advertisements in their favorite paper you are not there. Con sequently the man who adver tises steadly and persistently wins their confidence and gets their trade. It is quite just and proper that he should. Nobody is going to take trouble to hunt up a man who shyly bobs up to the surface now and then bobs down again. Curtis Publishing Company. The Wife And Her Hus band's Business. "It is a cause of amazement to me that a man can go on. year in and year out, toiling for a family whose members show no interest in his work further than ! to spend the money he makes, J and who look upon him as the! family mint," writes trances Evans in the January Ladies Home Journal. "My firm! belief is that had he, in the first flush of married life, talked over his business and ambitions with his wife, she would have become interested in both, first for his sake, and afterward for her own and their children s. Think of the gulf that lies between a man and woman united in marriage when he never speaks at home of the affairs which absorb bis entire day! Mutual interests will bind people together mdis- solubly even when indifference. that dangerous bridge of sighs, has swallowed up affection." Rev. H. I. Swallow, the sec retiry of the English Clerical Provident Union, says that "in the Church of England there is simply no place for an old curate. He has no market price. Attei working for a quarter of century he is simply worth 40 per cent less than at the date ol ordination. His value decreases annually, even .if bis phvsical force does not deteriorate There are over 250,000 clcrg for 14,000 livings, one half ol which can be held only b persons hoying private means."

Thomas Long, of the German Reformed church, died on Christmas day at his home seven miles couth of Salem, at the age of 80 years and 8 months. He was pastor ol Pleasant Retreat church for 22 ye?rs and was well known throughout this and Davidson counties. He was a good man and highly esteemed. At noon Saturday at Concord the machinery of the only cot ton mill in the world owned and operated by negroes was started. Two years ago Warren C. Coleman, a well-to-do colored citizen of Concord, began to canvass the state in the interest of such a factory. How well be succeeded was shown when the seven thousand five hundred spindles began to turn. The mill was given Coleman's name, a well deserved compliment for his secured subscriptions aggre gating $30,000. "Do Cat Eat Up de Holy Chost." A congregation of negroes were devoted to their zealous and en terprising "paster." During one one revival, to impress the con gregation with the telling of the story of the Holy Ghost appear ing in the form of a dove, he en gaged a sm-.ll colcred boy to at an opportune time in the stor let loose a live dove from a hole in the ceiling just over the rostrum. The device was suc cess'ul for several nights and the congregation was much mysti fied and impressed, and it cue ceeded in drawing a large num ber ol people to the church. One night while the cro wd was in tently listening to the story.and it was reaching tbcclimax where the "dove" was to appear, they were startled by a whisper which reverberated through the church: "Uncle John, de cat done eat up de holy ghot." The con gregation smiled and the smile increased to a roar of laughter when, in thesame whisper. came. Mus' I let down de cat?" Ma- c n Crur.ty (Ga ) Citizen.

An American, Mr. Yrooman, has endowed a bouse at Oxford to be known as "Ruskin Hall," in which poor students who have won scholarships at Ox ford, but who otherwise would be unable to bear the cost of residence there, can l vc for a payment of $125 for board and lodging and $30 for tuition.

One-third of the members of the Canadian Senate arc oyer seventy years of age; five are over eighty, and the senior of the house is ninety-four. This is David Wark, who was born in Londonderry, Ireland, and went to New Brunswick in 1825. When the federation of British North America was formed, thirty years ago, be was called to the Senate, and has sat there ever since as a Liberal member. An interesting feat in engineer ing was performed recently at Milwaukee, when the bridge of the Northwestern Railroad over the Kinnickinnic River was floated bodily down stream on scows and deposited on a new foundation made for it. So care fully had the calculations been made that when the water was pumped into the scows and the Lridge settled cn tht piers the structure was within a ejuarter inch of wLere it was intended to go, and the whole operation took lees than two hours. The New York Tribune attri butes the following story to the late Senator Morrill: "In tbe early davs of the civil war my picture was put forth by a rebel irgima newspaper, with an advertisement offering a reward for me, dead or alive, of $25. That wus usually offered for the recovery of runaway slaves. They elcscribed rne as 'a person w ho would be expected to have been the author of "Yankee Doodle" rhthtr than oi tbe in fernal tariff of iHHl. The pic ture was, of course, pleasing to the old masters of the South, being after the manner of Ho garth, and I have not learned that it has been made immortal by preseration in any of their historical societies.
