SlicriiT JIcArtasi'ss Suit. In a settlement with the County commissioners cf Harnett for the taxes for the years 1893 and 1S94, Sheriff McArtan claimed that the county wa3 due him about 000 by reason of the fact that the tax books of 1889-90-91 were destroyed by fire. The com missioners entered suit for the payment in i the casa w is referred to L. R WadJell Ex , of SiuithSeld, and was beard here yesterday. Mr. J. M. Hodges with his cjunstl, Mr. E. W. Pou, of Smith'd-ld, represented the county and Mr. W. E. March isori, of Jonesboro, and D. II McLean, Esq., represented Sheriff McArtan. Sheriff McArtan admitted that he was due the county about $G50 asd plead a counter claim of $G0O for loss of money by the tax books being burned. His attorneys argued that his claim was valid because the com missioners had failed to provide a fi'e-proof vault for the safe keeking of the books. Mr. Pou argued that it was not a fault of the commissioners as the law did not ppeeify that the building should be fire proof, out that it was the sheriff's misfortune. The sheriff had settled in full for the taxes for the years 18S9-90-91 and by reason of the tax books being burned with the Court House, he failed to be able to colltct this money which was due for taxes ur.paid. It was through the kindness of Sheriff McArtan to the people of the county that the taxe3 have not been collected. He had pulled the money out of his pocket and settled with the county and wa3 waiting with slow tax payers for his money. The duty of the county commissioners is to see that it is paid which the sheriff will do un less relieved by the decision of the referee. Buy your low cut shoes from Massengill's.

It is stated that Senator Butler has turned John B. Hussey, his clerk, down and has taken a Populist from Wilson to fill bis place. Hussey has a suit against the News & Observer for libel because that paper published some items attacking his character The articles published were printed about the time Butler made him hi clerk. The suit has not yet been tried and Butler's turning him down is an evidenoe that he thinks Hussey will not be ablo to substantiate his suit.

AT TWILIGHT. r hear t!i2 sound of a soft football, A laugh that is elfin sweet, A lisping word and n cooing call. As down the length of the shadowy hall Falter her baby feet. She paused a tiptoe at the door, With her bonny eyes ashine. Her face holds wisdom b-ond my store, And I clasp her close to my heart once more "SVith her fair little cheek to mine. But tny arms clasp only the empty air, The lullaby dies unsung, , I lose the gleam of her golden hair, . And the little face, po chililish fair, . And the lisp of her baby tongue. And then I remember; she lies asleep, Her story has all been told, And whether I wake or whether I weep. There stiP.is a 1113-stery strange and deep, "Which Time can never unfold. But I sometimes fancy I catch the gleam tf her hair, in the still of the night, And the tilt of her hand in a pale moon beam, Or her eyes meet mine in a waking dream As 1 sit in the dim twilight, 'Tis then, I faiicj, she turns her face That has grown so heavenly fair, From where she stands in that shining place, And look?, toward me through the starry space With the smile that tho angels wear. Dorothy Deane in Washington Times. A MO V1NG 310 UNTA IN FRANCE. IN A phenomenon which, from its re markable character, has attracted much attention in Europe, recently occurred in the department of Gard, France, where Mount Gouffre, a mas3 of rock 050 feet in height, suddenly gave way at its base and began mov ing toward Gardon River, upon the left bank of which it was situated. The movement began on the 15th of February, and on the 23d the advance had destroyed the machinery in the pits of the Grand 'Combe ' Colliery and nearly a mile of the Alais Bail way,, and had dtflected the. course of Gardon feet. Six hundred per sons wero obliged to leavertheir homes at Grand 'Combe, and a water frmine having been created, it became neces sary to install an engine up stream to pump water from the river to supply the inhabitants of the mining center. On the 29th the mountain came to a standstill, but it is believed by en- t gineers that this state of rest will be but temporary, and that the rocky tnaso will resume its motion, cross "tho Gardon, and finally abut against the mountain that tkirts the opposite s.ide of the fiver. Should tois occur, very important geological and topographi cal modifications will of course be male in the region and it will become necessary to prepare new channels for the Gardon and Gard river.,. The cause of the accident is-shown by the geological structure of the mountain, which consists of grit, green marl, limestone and triassic rocks resting upon a deep bed of clay. These different strata dip at consider able 5f an angle toward the Gardon. The mountain was therefore influ enced by its own weight to follow tbe slope offered it by this inclined plane. The position was unstable and the danger imminent Bain or the water of the Gardon must have infiltered : and accumulated upon the stratum of; impermeable clay, and such infiltra tions will have disintegrated certain points of support of the mountain and' led to its eliding, which was prepared, for by 2he very arrangement of the; ground. The noise made by ther mass while it was moving is described; as having teen frightful. Scientific American.
