It - doesn't make any diffetence whether personal property is mortgag : ed or not, the tax must be paid, and the sneritt has a right to levy upon the property wherever he finds it. " Attorney General Z. V. Walser has letter to the State Treasurer: "In reply to young communication of this date, referring to me a- letter from Mr. Nathan Jones, sheriff of War- ren county, relative to the right to levy, upon personal property upon : which there is a mortgage, I will say thatthe case of Woodey vs. Jones has been in effect overruled by the Revenue Act of 1891. . .'

The f'humapity" war is still go ing on in the Phillipines, . and hundreds of people, including a large number of Americans, are being shot down. Several battles Cccsrred during the past week. FEAR OE LOCAL INVESTUE5T. It may appear singular; yet it is a j " A. row is on between Ahe Hon. Ma fact, says the ;Newbern Journal, that rion Butler, who-signs himself "Chair- a who have raa(je and are making man money in their business, out of the Committee," and the Hon.

Why not regard the local promotion of an7 industry as a facor of develop- J ment, which shall not merely bring re- tarns for the original investment, but snail develop thetown, promote activi- ty among the merchants and provide 'abor for the working man? .And this is what local industries do, men w.lU deman 3. lhat a antee against loss shall, be given them before investing in a local enterprise, wnne tney win giaaiy emorace an oui- siae speculative scnerae wunoui ncsna- tiou,-and put up good money with hardly a decent credit given to the promoters of the scheme which seeks i their money. There should be hard business sense in investing in-; local enterprises, but there should be no hesitation in .doing so when they are practical, and these home enterprises should enlist the en tellig;nce and money of every citizen. Fear to invest ' in local enterprise which is sound, and to invest in anout- side scheme because . it may offer large returns, shows how much the citizen thinks of his home town... The man who -makes his money among his friends and neighbors, and then sends it away, is a poor citizen and one who deserves ill -success in his outside ventures, while the man who makes money at home and risks it at home to advance his town's inter est, is the citizen which every town needs TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF DI- RECTORS.
