t3T There is one consolation about
the condition of the streets they are
as bad as it is possible for them to be.
No need of fearing a worse state of af
fairs. tThe apportionment of the county
school fund is being made by the regis

about $1.34 per capita. The census
shows the number of school children in
the county to be 10,390, and the school
fund is $14,000.
A young couple met, in front of
a Trade street store yesterday morning,
and notwithstanding the weather, they
devoted just two hours and sixteen

cartoon by one who has a nack at such
things. It is hardly necessary to say
that the parties were of opposite sexes.

Enterprise.
The McSmitb Music House, of this
city, is putting on airs. Recently it has
brought out a new piece of music enti
tled "It's hard to be a Nigger." The
piece is said to bo first-rate. Be it good
or bad, it is the first music house in the
State that has ever shown enterprise
enough to issue music of its own. The
piece is printed in a very attractive
manner.
Flfty-iurce Sundaya,
The present year has fifty-three Sun
days. Ordinarily there are but fifty
two Sundays in a year, there being on
ly fifty-two weeks. We have had, dur
ing this nineteenth century, fourteen
years with fifty-three Sundays each,
and there are to be four more, includ
ing the present year, making a total
of eighteen. They are the years which
begin on Sunday, and the le;ip years
which begin on Saturday.
Death of au tgfed Citizen,
Mr. C. A. Davi?, a resident of this
city for the past fifteen years, died at
the residence of his son, J as. Davis, in
the eastern part of the city, Friday
night. Mr. Davis came from Norfolk
to make his home iu Charlotte, and was
highly respected by his acquaintances.
He was about 74 years old. The funer
al services will take' place from the
Baptist Church to-day at 3 o'clock,
which the friends and acquaintances
of the family are invited to attend.
Ben Brown Recovering;.
Ben Brown, the condemned negro,
who has been sick in the county jail.
and whose case was given up as almost
hopeless, is reported to be in a fair way
to recovery. His vitality had become
so low that mustard plasters, after a
continued application of twenty-four
hours, failed to vesicate. Brown's
mother has been with him at the jail
for some time past, ministering to his
wants and nursing him, and the coun
ty physician now thinks he will soon be
out of all danger.
Biggers, the wounded burglar, who is
suffering from blood poisoning, is also
improving.
House Breaking.
Friday night the cook room attached
to the residence of 'Squire Wm. Max
well, in the jTourth Ward, was entered
by a thief and about two pounds of
flour, a small quantity of lard, and a
cake of tallow were stolen. The room
is a recent addition to the house, and
the thief effected an entrance by re
moving the putty, which had not yet
dried, from the sash of a window with
a knife, after which one glass was
taken out and another broken. The
doors giving ingress to the dwelling
were all locked, which prevented any
further operations by the intruder;
The articles taken were only what had
been left in the room after preparing'
the evening meal, and nothing but pro
visions was disturbed.

A Rare Chance for Sportsmen
The Atlantic Hotel, at Beaufort, will
be opened on the 15th of this month
for the accommodation of a limited
number of gentlemen. The object is
to accommodate those wishing to spend
a season at the seashore in hunting,
and it is said that ducks, geese and
deer were never more abundant in the
section around Beaufort than they are
this winter. The sport on the seacoast
in winter is the finest in the world, and
many will avail themselves of the op
portunity now offered. Those intend
ing to go are requested to send their
names at once to Dr. G. W. Blacknall,
Raleigh, N. C

Rev. Joseph Wheeler, father ef Rev.
J. W. Wheeler, now pastor of Calvary
church of this city, and one of the old
est ministers in the North Carolina
conference, will preach at Tryon Street
Methodist church at 11 o'clock this
morning Rev. J. T. Bagwell, the pas
tor, will preach at 7 p.m.; subject, "The
truth of Chistianity proved in part from
its simplicity and the apparent insigni
ficance of some of its primary agencies."
Text, 1st Cor. 1 S7-29.
Rev. Dr. Whitfield, the former pas
tor, will preach at the Baptist church
this morning at 11 o'clock.
There will be no services at the
Second Presbyterian church to-day,
Mr. Wood, the pastor, having failed to
reach the city last week on account
of sickness in his family. It is under
stood he left St Louis last Friday, and
is expected to arrive here Tuesday, hav
ing spent Sunday in Kentucky with his
daughter, who is at school. The con
gregation of the Second church are in
vited to the First Presbyterian church,
where joint worship will be held this
morning and evening.
There will be no preaching at the
Lutheran church to-day. Correspon
dence is in progress with a Northern
clergyman in relation to the pastorate
of the church, and it is probable that
the vacancy will be filled within a
month. The color of the exterior
of the church building has been
changed within the pa3t month,
which is a decided improvement.
Rev.C. II. Willey, district superinten
dent for the American Bible Society for
North and South Carolina, in a letter to
the Raleigh Christian Advocate says
that during the eight months of the bur
rent Bible year ending November 30,
he had laboring under his supervision
seven colporteurs, paid by the parent
society. These have visited twelve
thousand five hundred and fifty-eight
families, of which two thousand five
hundred and twenty-five were found
without Bibles, and they supplied with
the Bible Scriptures nineteen hundred
and thirty-one families and nine hun
dred and eighteen individuals and dis
tributed by sale and donation ten thous
and eight hundred and twenty-nine vol
umes of the Bible. These are the facts
of distribution in only one department
of the t work, and do not include the
circulation of the Bible by auxiliaries,
and by voluntary or unpaid agents.
bince the work of colportage by the
American Bible Society began forty-five
counties in this State have been fully
canvassed and work in eight is under
way, and six counties have been sup
plied by colporteurs at the expense of
the auxiliaries, and the time is not far
off when it may be said that the living
oracles have been carried to the door of
every habitation of man in this large
and diversified State.
A suggestive fact in connection
with the revised edition of the Bible is
found in 'the statement that nearly all
the publishers of this country who
have brought the work out have
overstocked themselves, and the
new edition lies on the shelves
instead of meeting with . the heavy
sales that were anticipated. This would
seem to indicate that the work has
only been in demand with students
and those who bought it from curiosity,
and that the public generally is not
ready to lay away the old Book and
take up the new, which with many
would be equivalent to the taking up of
new faith. It is also a noteworthy
fact that so far as information goes
not a single religious publication board
in the country has adoptedj the new
version.

The Presbyterian and Methodist
churches of Concord contemplate
building chapels for Sunday school pur
poses. The former church has already
purchased a lot for this purpose.
The building committee of the
Lutheran church of Concord has con
tracted with a Philadelphia architect to
build their new church. The amount
specified in the contract is $7,750.
County Expenses.
To the Editor of The Observer.
Tn antA-hftlhim davs it was Quite
common to see the actions of our coun-
tv and State officers cntic.isea. JNow-a-
davs one' rarely sees it, unless some
State officer "touches up a railway
company, or some embryo statesman,
eager to serve nis country, raises a
clamor to piU dQWn an ocial,in order
that he may gain bis place. Having
neyer held an office, I claim the "old
time4 riffht of the citizen to call atten
tion to our county expenses. From the
last statement oi our county u-eaaurwi,
the Inferior court seems to cost about
na mnnh aa t.hn finnprinr nmirtL Tf thfi
extraordinary expenses (boarding juries
of KAfalo latfvAro' fama and av nart wit..
nfisufri of the latter are deducted, tha
difference is very little. The court ex-
penses amount to z,wiax. xz tne pris
oners expenses, $1,790.15; jail expenses,
$266.47, and coroner's expenses, $610.00,
be added, we find that justice cost the
people of Mecklenburg $7374.05. This
year promises much greater expenses,
as an extra term of the Superior court
has already been called, and if we judge
it by tne worK or xormer ppi ne, it win
take a good mathematician to calculate
wheritrie docket will be cleared When
the Inferior court was established it
was claimed that it would relieve the
Superior court to such a degree that it
could transact all necessary business.
It was soon found that the Superior
court docket was crowded as bad as
ever. Then an extra week was added
to each term of the Superior court, and
still the disease grows worse, and the
Governor has applied the costly remedy
of extra courts. Where the fault lies, I
cannot say, but there is a general im
pression that the judges could save the
people much of this expense by pre
venting the lawyers from wasting so
much time "in running rabbits." The
expenses of the county commissioners,
including their clerk and lawyers' fees
are $1,276.15 not high wages for active
old gentlemen, who only drink butter
milk as a beverage. The expense ac
count of "vehicle wreckers, (public
roads and bridges,) is only $137.00, and
the prospect for this year is that this
account will be materially decreased
and the "wrecks" materially increased.
Since writing the above, I notice in
your report of the commissioners meet
ing (January 4th) the following:
-The sum of $804.61, being the amount
of money in the hands of the treasurer
for road purposes, under what is known
as the Alexander road law, was ordered
to be apportioned among the different
townships of the county pro rata, and
that said apportionment be subject to
the order of the township supervisors."
Compare this with their action of one
year ago. Then they decided no mon
ey was necessary for the public roads.
The whisky men can well take heart.
Before the roses bloom "the said com
missioners aforesaid," will be drinking
something stronger than butter-milk as
a beverage. The poor and poor-house
expenses (3,457.57)3eem to be increasing
and willproDably be greater this year
on account of the failure of last year's
crop. There appears in the expense ac
count of the poor-house, a bad prece
dent. Commissioner R. M. White,
receives $1,286.27 for furnishing sup
plies to the poor-house. The overseer
of the poor-house is simply the agent of
the county commisaionerp.ind it places
Commissioner White in the attitude of
trading with his agent, which is virtu
ally trading with himself.
Commissioner White's accounts have
to be approved by the county commis
sioners. His brother commissioners
cannot feel that liberty to criticise his
accounts that they would with an out
sider; besides Commissioner White sits
in judgment upon his own case.
I disclaim any intention of reflecting
upon Commissioner White. I believe
the county and the poor have received
full justice from him, but one of his
high character may not always fill the
office, and the precedent of to-day may
be upheld in the future by commission
eas with unclean hand3. Civis.
NATURE'S SLUICE WAY.
The kidneys are nature's sluice way to wash ont
the debris of our constantly changing bodies. If
they do not work properly the trouble Is felt every
where. Then be wise and as soon as yon see
signs of disorder ret a package of Kidney-Wort
and take It faithfully. It will clean the sluice-way
of sand, gravel or slime and purify the whole sys
tem. Druggists fell It. both liquid and dry, and it
Is equally efficient in either form. Independent
