' The bill, as printed, further pro vides that the bonds "shall bear thie rate of 6 per cent, interest per an num" ; that the County Commissioners shall levy a special road tax of not ex ceeding 25 cents on the $100 worth of property and not exceeding 75 cents on each poll, and that this tax shall be kept as a separate fund and applied first to the payment of the interest on said bonds and then to the creation of a sinking fund for the redemption of said- bonds." The balance to be used for the construction and improvement of the public roads of the county. , ( The first Tuesday in May is the date fixed for the election. As no suffrage amendment to the constitution can even be voted on before W00, it will be seen that there will be no educational, property, or even poll-tax qualifica tion in force when the bon4 election is held, andj as a consequence, the num ber of non-tax-paying negroes who can vote to saddle the city of Wilmington with an additional debt of nearly $50,000 will be "aplenty." The bonds' are to be payable at such time or times, not exceeding twenty five years from the date of their issue, as the Board of Commissioners may determine, and the bill provides that not one dollar of the money derived from the sale of the bonds shall be expended within . the corporate limits of Wilmington. f Approximately, the debt of the city of Wilmington is now $783,000 and the annual interest paid is $43,000. Are the tax-payers willing 'to increase this debt, for the purpose named, to the extent of nearly $50,000 in bonds, to say nothing of thousands of dollars more in the way of interest? We think not, whether the bonds bear 6 per cent, 5 per cent or 4 per cent in terest.;. ' y . If We are to increase our present debt, already so burdensome as to re quire an annual payment of $43,000 in interest alone, should not the ques tions of sewerage and street im provements claim precedence over rural road building? Liook at . our streets our principal business thor oughfares and you will find both roadways and, sidewalks that are an eyesore to our people. Let these be improved first, and then it may be timely to'consider the question of issu ing bonds for country roads. . In 1898 the county of New Hanover collected $2,5l427 to be expended in road improvement This amount was raised through a road tax of 3J cents on each hundred dollars of property and 9$ cents on each polL Possibly, the tax-payers of the county might be willing to have this tax doubled. If it-were, the amount raised for road im provement would be about $5,000, or enough to macadamize five miles of road per year, the estimated average cost of such work being $1,000 per mile. -' '. ! ..';. But a bill for a general road law, to apply to all the counties' in the State, has been prepared and -will be intro duced in the Legislature this "week. The following extract from the first section shows the limits of taxation: That the Board of County Commis sioners shall, in order to provide for the proper construction, improvement and maintenance of the publier roads of the county at their regular meeting in June, 1899, and at each regular an nual meeting thereafter, and it is hereby made their duty to levy a special tax on all property subject to taxation under the State law in said county of not less than 10 cents, nor o-reater than 20 cents on the $100 worth of property, and not less than 20 cents nor greater man cents on me pun the constitutional equation to be ob . served at all times, ' Wih the minimum rate of 10 cents on the $100 worth of property, the tax on polls, m order to preserve the con stitutional equation, would have "to be 30 cents. This would yield, in this county, a road tax of about, $8,600, which would be an increase of at least 25 per cent on the total county tax now paid. This is more than is needed in a county like New Hanover in which the field for road "building is so circum scribed. Five thousand dollars per year would be ample. In five years this would give us twenty-five miles of macadamized roads. But, whatever else may be done, the Star is confident that the tax-payers of Wilmington do not indorse the movement to increase the city's debt tp the extent of nearly fifty thousand dollars for the purpose indicated.

Not in many a day has such a wave of excited enthuiasm pervaded school circles of Wilmington as that on yes terday occasioned by the game of foot ball played on the Hilton gridiron ; by the first teams of the Wilmington High School (W.

There was an unusually large com pany ot ladies in attendance, among the most enthusiastic of whom were a large dumber of pupils of the High" School and other schoos of the city. . In the matter of team colors, that of the W H. S., white blue and yellow, predominated, but there were also a number wearing the white and navy blue of the C. F. A." Mr. Neill Mc Lauriri, the clever and enthusiastic manager of the W. H probably the most gai team colors of i anyJ g round. He wore rich! carried a large1 trumpet trimmed in the colors. Manager Davis, of the C. F. A., i was also appropri ately; decorated in the oolors of his team. Then, too, there were lots of small boys wearing colors and acquit ting themselves admirably as rooters. The game was called promptly at 3 o'clock. The tossi was made by dpt. Wiggs, for .the W. H. B , and Capt Jewett, for the C. F. A, Capt Wiggs won and chose the south goal. Then the tug of war! began in earnest Jewett kicked off and WJggs received the ball, but . was downed by" Mont gomery almost on the! spot Moore and Schulken, of thd W. H. S., brought the bajl, by repeated rushes, nearly to the centre of the field. . j It was immediately alter this that probably the most brilliant play Of the game 'was made' by Foard of the W. H, S. . He secured the ball and made a run of 35 yards, skirting the left end, and but for the fact that he went out of bounds wouldhave made a touchdown. : -j S . .. .

He is through ly honest and has the confidence of all the people of that section of the State." Among the bills passfed are the fol lowing of importance : T6 give the sheriff and other officers of Greene county protection against the recent injunction of Judge Tim berlake. It provides ' that in case of quo-warranto proceedings, the persons in office shall hold and shall enjoy all the powers and emoluments of office until the quo-warranto proceedings are settled. H I To require boards of county com missioners to accept bonds given in surety companies only in case the company shall have on deposit with the State treasurer the sum of $50,000 or its equivalent, to secure the perfor mance of the bond obligation. - j la the Senate.
