Mr. ItAum " being fresh from the commissioners office js presumed to know all the ways and means of, aud to have pecu liar facilities for collecting such claims. A telegram is received from "Washington' (from what official is not stated) and the uCo lector" wishes general information given of the fact, whercupou each deputy collector is notified official ly aud said deputy importunes each claimant to endorse on his claim authority to tho outgoing commissioner' to collect it, he prom ising that his terms fhall be "rea sonable !" i Can anything be clearer than tho fact that the department is thus lending itself to the enrich ment of the. ex-commissioner- br a trick prepared whilst in office f In nine coses out of ten persons will be disposed, to believe that the authority to Mr. Ilanm ii a necessary preliminary to the col lection of what is due them, and will sign it as a matter of course. When it is considered that the amount of these rebates will reach anywhere from ten to twenty mill ions of dollars it will be seen at a glance what the 'reasonable'' com pensation of Mr. Ilaum would be. 1 I feel it my duty to warn the manufacturers of and dealers in to bacco in North Carolina, that if they do this their money will mostly be a present to Mr. Ilaum. In nineteen cases out of twenty no attorney or agent whatsoever will bo needed. In fact in no case will such aid be required except where the facts are disputed or there is some suggestion of fraud. Wanks aud full instructions how to proceed are furnished by the Treasury department, and- the affi davits of the collector and his dep uties will be conclusive in all but exceptional cases.

It began at the fair grounds Tuesday, where a reiwrted one battle was fought, won by Halifax. There was rumors yesterday that the law was to be iuvoked to stop the main, aud in the morning a war rant was sworn out by Mr. Z. T. Rroughton, before Justice M. B. Barbee. The warrant was placed by Sheriff Lowell in the hands of deputy sheriff James T. Rodgers. About 1:30 he went out to the fair gronnds to serve it.

Handsome chandeliers are subtended from the ceiling, fnrnishing 14 gas burners, and lighting the hall beautifully. The lodge has spent in the neighbor hood of $1,200 iii making these im provements.

At C o'clock Monday engineer Jack Edwards and con dnctor Maloney left Hickory with fifteen freight cars for Salisbury, aud entertained less fear perhaps, as to the condition of the road bed than any other crew on the road, but wheu about five miles east of Hickory, they realized the .situa tion better. The fill near Mr, La- faj'ette Miller's had washed out, leaving a holo about 10 feet deep aud 18 feet wide through the fill, and nothing but the iron and j.cross ties swinging over theholeV A geu tleman knowing that the freight train would be along early in the .morning, very thoughtfully started up the road to wave, it down, but he had gone but a short distance when he met the train, but it being down grade it was impossible to stop it in time; so in a fewj mo ments Mr. Edwaids on No. 15 a 45 ton engine was within ja few feet of the break . with no earthly power to stop the train. As a last resort he threw the throttle) wide open, which gave ns such a sudden impetus forward that it broke loose from the train and went across the chasm with almost the velocity of a bullet. The boxcars, one j after another followed, and tumbled in a confused mass'into the ravine and on either side of the (track, making a complete wreck of ten cars. Fortunately the train being long, the rear cars were stopped before they were thrown from the track. Capt. Maloney, who was in the ealtoose, had quite a lively tussel with a saud barrel to see which would stay on top, but we are glad to note was not hurt, and MrKdwards receives the sincere congratulations of his many friends over escaping what might have leen an untimely end. Perhaps nothincr bnt the creat speed with which he rnshed over the danger ous place saved his life. lair FliMla Stria wra 3lm4e- The following facts relative to an industry of which the general pub lic have but little knowledge have been complied from the Mhnvfae turcr's Gazette and New York A'mm.
