(Mfom THURSDAY, JUNE 23, lfcSl H. A. LONDON. Jr., Editor. COMPUTING TAX LISTS. For public information we have obtained the opinions of the State Treasurer and Attorney-General as to the duties of county commissioners in computing the tax lists. The law directs that, " the Board of Commis Bioners of each county, after notice in one newspaper or by posters put up, shall meet on the second Monday in August, and revise the tax lists and valuation reported to them, and "COMPLETE THE LIST BY COMPUTING THE TAX PAYABLE BY EACH PEBSON, &C." A similar provision has existed in all H)ur revenue laws for several years 'past, and the Commissioners of the several counties have differed in their opinions as to thtir duties under it. Many Commissiontrs have thought that the law required them to per sonally compute the tax lists, and they have accordingly divided out this work among themselves, each Commissioner computing a certain number of lists. This was not our view of the law, and a few days ago we addressed a letter to the Attorney-General asking his opinion, and iA reply received the following letter: " Tkeasury Depaxtmext, ) Baleigfc, June 15, 1881. ) H. A. Loxdox, Jr. Pittsboro, T. C , Dear Sir : Your letter to the At torney-General has been referred to me, in accordance with the rule adopted for the discharge of the duties of the different Departments (for instance, questions concerning revenue, are answered through this office,) and after consultation with him, I have the honor to reply as follows : The machinery act (Sec. 18) in reference to revising tax lists, make it the uoniinissioners to direct ana sup vise the work provided for, but it does not mean that they must indi vidually perform the clerical labor of Practical Test of Prohibition. In order to show what Prohibition has done where it has been practically tested, we copy from the News and. Observer the following letter from Northampton county: "Jacksox, N. G, May 31, 18S1. State Executive Prohibition Com.: Replying to yours of the 24th hist., the law regulating the sale of liquors in Northampton county was ratified March 22ad, 1875, but in accordance with a provision in section 1 of tlie act, dealers having licenses were al lowed to continue soiling until tbeir terms expired. Consequently the law did not go into full force until nearly a year after its enaetueut. The law provides "that it shall be unlawful for any person to sell with in said county any intoxicating liquor other than that made by him or her in said county," and prohibits the sale of the same in quantities less than a quart. The main object of the law was to suppress bar-rooms, and its good effects are seen on every hand. The jtiil and criminal expenses oi the county Lave been reduced to nearly one-third of their former amounts, as will be seen from the following statements carefully and accurately prepared from tbe records and ac counts in the clerk's and register of deeds' office : The jail expenses of Northampton comity from June 1, lb72, to June 1, 1875,.$3.916.51; jail expenses from June 1. 1878, to June 1,1881, $1,433.42. Tbe tinea years immediately preceding the enactment of the law and the last three years have been used as a basis of com parison. The board per day allowed for prisoners' baa been for the past two Forest Fires in Moore County. (News and Observer, 19 th inst.) Around the little town of Manly, in Moore county, on the Raleigh and Auerusta Air-Line, there lie hundreds of thousands of acres of timber, near ly all long leaf pine, of the finest quality. This magnificent timbei, the famed yellow pine, is sought af ter and forms one f the leading staples of Moore county industry. The excessive drought; had made the woods as dry as powder and render ed them even more liable to the ever present danger of fire. Last autumn the woods in- a portion of Moore caught on fire and the destruction of timber was great. But on Fri day last a fire broke out before which the others become of insignifi cant proportions. The fire originated at a blacksmith shop near Manly, about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. A man had built a large fire to heat a tire which he wished to shrink on a wheel. The wind was blowing almost a pale and the flames communicated with the timber near at. hand. In an instant the fire leaped up the trees, whose 'boxes" afforded it additional fuel. It fairly raced tin ongh the wood?, witlf a roar that conld be heard for miles, and destroying the trees, both great and small, with its scorching breath. There wore in the track of the fire, ! - 1 i Jl il i i as ic swept to tne nortneastward, a number of farms. The fences which surrounded these were destroyed and the crops all left exposed. "At one farm house, with a quantity of out buildings, all the latter were de stroyed, despite every effort to save them, but the dwelling house was saved. A lare church, of wood. years 12 cents les3 than formerly, it i which had been recently completed. Having been reduced from 50 cents to 37t cents per day, bat as there have been so few prisoners during that ti nie the above statement is only very slightly affected thereby, certain ly not to the extent of $50. For two months there has been but one in mate of the county jail, put in last 1 cember for twelve months, for com mitting an assault upon his wife while intoxicated, on whiskey pro cured from an adjoining county, and not a convict haa been pent to the general duty of the County ; Penitentiary by either of the last issioners to direct and supt-r-1 tbree courts.

A num ber of men, mounted on horses, made good speed to the spot, but the heat of the fire was so intense that it swept away the church while they were powerless to save it. We gathered these particulars yes terdays from a gentleman living on the Raleigh and Augusta Railroad. The fire, beginning at 2 p. m , burn ed all through the evening and night, and at sunrise yesterday was still do ing its work of destruction, though with diminished" vigor. The illumination caused by the flames was observable for a great dis tance, while the roar of the fiamc-s, fanned by. the brisk breeze, the crash of falling trees and the other sounds Editors' Faults. Editing a paper is a pleasant busi ness not too rdeasant. but iust pleasant enough. If it contains much political mat ter, people won't have it. If tbe type is large, it don't contain much reading matter. If we publish real stories, folks say they are nothing but lies. If we omit them, we have no en terprise. If we have a few jokes, folks say we are nothirjg but end men. If we omit jokes, folks say we are farmers. If we publish original matter, they damn us for not giving selections. If we give selections, people say we are Inzy for not writing more and giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a complimentary notice, we are censured for being partial. If we don't, all hands Bay we are awfully ghastly. If we insert an article which pleases the ladies, the men become jealous, and vice versa. If we remain in our office attending to our own business, folks say we are too proud to mingle with other fellows If we go out, they say we don't at tend to our business. Printer's Circular. Good Susses tion. We clip the following from the New York Herald that might well be heeded: "The kerosene lamp has been so prominently engaged in bursting and blowing human be ings into hospitals and eternity that many people are under the im pression that it has no time in which to attend to anything else. This is a groat mistake, and a convincing proof of its abilities in another direction is found in a dispatch announcing the death bv suffocation of a priest who had slept m a room m was burmn thousand headaches are discovered every morning in bedchambers that have been lighted through the night by kerosene lamps 'turned down low' will never be known, but the aggre gate is enormous, and cannot be otherwise, for a small flame in a lamp chimney does not cause enough draught to insuro perfect combustion, and this bein tho case tho slumber The Prohibitory Bill. As the Prohibitory Bill is exciting so much discussion and so few per sons seem to know its proions, al though we have heretofore published it, yet we again publish it as follows: The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact : Section 1.

We cannot expect all men to agree in all things. " Many men of many minds," is a tiite but true saying, and therefore we should bs more liberal in our views and more tolerant of the opinions of others, especially in religious beliefs, and yet more intensely bitter intolerance is exhibited upon the subject of religion than on any other subject. If peo ple professing to be Christians would have more charity and less intole rance they would more closely follow the teachings of their divine Master. Whenever men dhTer in opinion up on any" subject, they should be wil ling to tolerate one another's opin ions, and each should be charitable enough to ascribe to the other the same purity of motive and honesty of purpose that he claims for himself. We are led to these reflections be cause of the intolerance that is now being too much exhibited both by the advocates and opponents of Pro hibition in thi3 State. mg part of that the law is easily combining their 3ptle-ary or nlivrician shail lie used to Bfll any oi the tspiiituoud or liia'l iiqiior j heifia ir.nui ined, until lit has t-xeeufc-d ! and givt-n to tli Board ot Coamiiesionei ' oi ..ne county wneie ;a tue Ptjuois are pro poned to be sold, a hond with coo i and If anyone of our readers should lose ' 9itlticit"nt security, to he duly jsisUtfrd iu n hiiui or not U-Sd than hv; hur.drt'; t o larn ways a menace to health and life."

It is not true that all prohibitionists are " fanatics:" neither is it true that all anti-prohibitionifcts aro "drunk ards," and yet these opprobrious' epithets are continually being ap plied. But the meanest and most despicable petty instances of intole rance on this question are daily ex hibited by those narrow-ininded per sons who "stop their paper," because the editor dares to have and to ex press an opinion different from theirs! If an editor happens to express an ! opinion favorable to prohibition, up jumps some poor crtature (whose mind is no larger than the eye of a tick) and indignantly demands to stop his paper. Or if the unfortunate editor should oppose prohibition, then some intolerant, intemperate prohibitionist stops hia paper: and usually neither has paid his subscript tion ! One of our contemporaries has been doubly, unfortunate, some pro hibitionists having stopped because of articles in it against prohibition, and some anti prohibitionists having stopped because of articles in it in favor of prohibition.

(Elizabeth City Economist.) Mr Hooper, one of the commission ers of Dare county, states that the working of the act of the Leit-latu forbidding the sale of liquor in Dare county has been mobt admirable. drunkenness is very rare, men are more industrious, and tho public sen timent is altogether in favor of pro hibition. Its effect upon the criminal docket of the Court is most markerl indeed there was no case on the dock et in violation of the criminal law. By the local prohibition act of Dare county, ten retail shops, we believe it was ten, were closed in the county; and yet this curtailment of countj revenue has cammed no increase of taxation. We do not know: Indeed we have not been able to ascertain satisfactorily the practical effect of prohibition in Maine or in Kansas, but here we have a caso just at onr door, showing the working of prohi bition, which can bo studied bv our people. The people of Dare are in favor of prohibition by heavy majori ty, and they ought to know some thing about it. Fatal Fight Between Woman.
