The Secretary of War an nouces that all denominations which desire the privilege will be permitted to build chapels on the grounds of the United States mil itary academy at West Point. It was announced in New York Saturday that Maj. Lewis (Jinter, of .Richmond, Va., had re signed from, t lie board of direc tors of the American Tobacco Company, on account of ill-liealth. Over one hundredliyes are re ported lost in the cloudburst .which jmssed over . Oklahoma Territory Jast week. Scores were drowned lit Guthrie. A hail storm, which preceded the cloudburst, killed a number 5f people. Carter JI. Harrison, who was . few weeks ago elected by the Democrats to the mayorality of Chicago1 hf a tremendous major ity, has, by one order, discharged very head of . a .city, department with one exception. Representatives of leading rail roads (except the .Seaboard! of the South met in Washingt on last Wednesday and concluded the for mation of a new passenger traffic Association to be known as tho .Southeastern Passenger Associa ion. bt. Ixjuis Potosi, Mexico, was visited by a terrific hail storm iast ednosday, which killed forty-one persons. On one hacienda alone twelve laborers were killed. The hail stones were immense, Borne of them weighing over three pounds. Asked in Atlanta whether he thought the next President would be a Democrat, Vice-President Stevenson replied, "the next Pres ident will be a real Democrat," which being interpreted means that there will be no Democratic hams like the last one. The Tennessee Centennial Ex position opened at Nashville Sat urday.. The attendance was large iind the exhibits good.

" - ' ' "SeYen Jiegroes were lynched by a' mob at Sunnj-side, Texas, last week. The crime for which they suffered was the murder of an old negro man and the rape jmd murder of his two daughters.

Sam Stevenson of McPherson county, Kansas, went away to Cuba and joined the insuiwrnta Ho was captured by the Spanish, flhd, after remaining in prison for Home time, was given the choice ii being shot or swearing allegiance to Spain, and chose the latter. He naively wrote to his friends in Mc Pherson that "while I was a pat riot, I was not a fool." A town is like a largo family -we are interested in each other's welfare or should be. A cut throat every-man-for-himself-pol-icy means ruin for the whole com munity. It means retrogression and failure The first lesson any family must learn, to be happy and, successful, is unity and mu tual assistance. The same applies to the business life of a town arid the moro generally it is obeyed the more abundant will be the city's prosperity. Canton Advance. Senator McCarthy, of Craven, was in Raleigh last Friday and said: "The people in the eastern part of the State, certainly so far as my section is concerned are not with Governor Russell on the North Carolina Railroad lease mat ter." By the way does anybody recall anything, that the people are with Governor Russell on? He is a bull in a china shop. He has set the members of his own par ty by the ears and has alienated om himself nearly every Repub lican of consequence. His record nuits nobody, and while he has brought the Republicans nothing but disappointment, he has justi fied the worst that the Democrats wild of him during tho campaign. OneBuch administration as he is giving the State will likely be noughto last the people a life June.. Statesville Landmark. We note the shipment by the steamer Henley at Brunswick, Ga of 5,200 bales of cotton and 1,80C tons of pig iron for Bremen, Ger many. Pig iron and cotton gi well together.

The Southern cot ton thus helps to extend the ex port of Southern iron, and to put it in European markets at prices profitable to the home producer and the foreign consumer.1- Tht export of Southern iron goes on apace.

If it. were 'not for our broadguaged, enterprising men it would be impossible to build ' a prosperous city. Durham Sun A rumor is current in Raleigh that Governor 'Riissel will proba bly call an extra session of the Legislature for the purpose of rem edying the defects, in the revenue act, parts which, have . been : de clared vtuconstitutional by the Supreme Court. " It is estimated that the decision of the Court wil lessen the amount of. taxes this year $75,000 and as the Legisla ture increased the expenses of the State arid made a number of ap- priations the receipts will not be sufficient to meet the obligations When asked about the rumor Gov ernor Russell declined to talk; In re-electing the . present Mayor and Town Commissioners tor a second term the people of Lumberton have done well. They 1 1. 1 1 -I nrt jiave maue spienaia olncers, as a glance at their record for the past year will prove, and deserved this vote of endorsement and appro val at the hands of the citizens.

A curious development in the making of the tariff is reported bv the Washington Star: "It is re ported at the Capitol today that the Republican Senators having' ciiarge ot the tariff bill have been compelled to accept an amend ment proposed by .Senators Wpl cott of Colorado and Jones of Ne vada providing that any countrv which shall enter into a bimetallic agreement with the United States shall be allowed a discount of is per cent, of the tariff rates Upon tiie products sent by any such na tion to this country."

In addition to the manv thi already told of the doings of -the body another biff bl nndfir lino V1001-. discovered. This is in the nrt. f placing a license tax on drum mers. State Treasurer Wni-fl, Aa Clares the act mortem tivo nrM - - void. His circular srnt.i reasons for this decision was issued last week and is as follows . Section 51, Revenue Act of 1897 provides that "Every person, firm, company or corporation who snau engage in trie business selling or offering for sale by drummer or drummers,, with or without samples, goods, wares or iufcicininaise pi any description, in this State, shall, before so sell ing or offering for sale any such goods, wares, or merchandise, pay to the State Treasurer a tax of fifty dollars (50.00), and obtain a license, which shall operate one year from its date.". It is evident that the General Assembly, by saying "Every per son, firm. . .comnanv nr ration," moaht - that this :. tax should apply to all drummers alike, both foreign and resident. But as the Supreme Courts, both national and State, have decided that a State can not tax foreign drummers, therefore this section is inoperative and void no mni;,i foreign drummers . It is further ev ident as the section was intended to apply to all dm w IHAIVUj and cannot apply to foreign drum- mcis, is anemia not, and can not justly apply to residftll t. rl rn m - . - v ""luiuio. It is, also, evident that the Legis lature intended to put this tax upon a class. If their power fails as to a part of the class, there is no reason to bel v v 3 iiiicil- ded to bo in force as to the rest It . is not rational to ascribe to the Legislature a niimiiso f- Jr.-., burden upon a portion of that class resident within its borders, and except that portion of the same class who are non resident. i noid, thereiore, that Section 51, Revenue; Act of 1897 inasmuch as it can not apply to all drum med us cieany , intended, it can not apply to any drumrn'era ia therefore inonernt;vo ,i "Va '.'
